Punctuate With Better Audio

[froggyluv]

Off the advise of someone on here finally started up Total War Attila - going straight for their 1212AD mod (i like medieval) the thing that strikes me strongest is the excellent use of audio whenever anything important happens or is announced. A thunderous Drum alongside backround Gregorian Chant or we all know that awesome thunderous TW Rome Victory Warcry "YEAH!!!!" after a winning battle.

The game is letting you know when important things are happening or need to be payed attention to. Bannerlord's notices are just spewing out constant information some very trivial, others very important but there is nothing to distinguish any of it by leading the played to just become desensitized to it.

Mm. Desensitized. Try a paradox game sometime. You’ll grow to appreciate notices you can ignore. But yes, some important notices should stand out with a cue. Maybe a nice menu to customize notices is a good idea?

Just started Total War Troy and same thing -all events wars starting, certain Lord instigating or pillaging is punctuated by strong audio effects, maybe a blanket tough guy statement and a picture of said lord. If really enhances the effect on who is doing what and where.

Can anyone really keep up with the small text event spam on the bottom corner of Bannerlord?

I keep up with it, but sometimes I do feel like it is almost a bit distracting. I mean, you want to be focused on your target. That said, many of the events that spam can be turned off in the options menu under gameplay.

I feel you on this one, some things are completely irrelevant, should exist a filter option.

For better audio pontuaction of events, especialy the most important ones, it makes quite the diference in aiding the brain to identify these moments besides the visual representation. Personaly I think the audio design is a bit lacking on the campaing map as well as the battlefield, this is a good way to improove on that.

Mods (of course) already fix it, I my opinion that needs to be in the game as an option:

Sound The Alarm

Functional alert system featuring popups for when the players fiefs (village, town, castle) are attacked and when any empire signs declarations of war or peace.

Works fine with 1.5.0

No thanks, the game is already too much arcady, not everybody likes shiny lights and catchy noises....
