Slower game mode needed

[Selphie Nutter]

One thing that has always dobe my head in about Bannerlord is why do our kids take so long to mature. The legal age in the UK is 16, yet kids on Bannerlord done mature until 18. A lot of the time you can conquer most of Calradia before even one of your kids reach 18, especially on the easier difficulties. The in game AI's are always too aggressive to take your time Conquering Calradia peace between factions doesn't last long enough for a long drawn-out game. Especially if you plan on founding your own kingdom, the AI rarely backs off. So you are forced to wipe them out just to get left alone.

With all of the above in mind, could you please either make the childrens mature age 16, or do something about how aggressive the AI is. It would be nice to be able to take my time and develop my clan properly. Instead of having to power level it just so i can found my own kingdom befthe other factions get too strong. Im not the type of player that likes to betray people to foubd a kingdom.i like to either take over the rebels or declare war on whichever faction im playing as. Which means im always rushing my clans development. Would it be possible to lower the AI's aggressiveness. The last time i played Bannerlord i had wiped out, Battania, the Western Empire and sturgia before my heir was even 15, and the Aeseri only had 3 city's left. All because they refused to stop declaring war on me for 5 mins. Even if the AI was only changed for Sandbox mode it would at least give players who like taking their time a option to do so. Thanks for reading

They should just add kids to the battle field right away. Baby born in the saddle. Would be better then making the kids useless because as you know, the game should be finished before they're grown. Even if not getting a half baked clan member late in the game isn't fun or useful either. Not to mention there's no good way to pass time even if you wanted too.

Yeah exactly, whats the point of having kids in the game if the game speed is to fast for them to grow up

My current game, my heir is only 7, but battania and the Western empire are almost destroyed. Both have 1 city left and they keep declaring war on me. The northern empire has 2 cities and the kuzaits and Aeseri are half dead with half thier cities conquered by either me or the southern empire. Vlad and sturgia are crippled, with their armies decimated but most of there cities still in their relm, and the southern empire is the only one on par with my strength.

The saddest part about how quick the game progress's. In my current game, my kingdom is made up entirely of clans i created by promoting my companions. Yet there's no time to develop or focus on diplomacy. No time to give my new clans a chance to make friends and find spouses. Only 2 of my 10 clans in my kingdom have their leaders married and one of them is only because i married Athean to him. I just wish the game was slowed down to accommodate all these things.

I gave up trying to recruit the other kingdoms clans. Half the time they refuse, the other half they get too greedy. I like sharing out the land equally amoung my vassals, but when i recruit clans from other kingdoms they always want too much land and constantly fight against my decisions. So i gave up recruiting them and focused on my companions who mostly act happy, supportive and greatful. I justcwish i had time to let them grow.

Because you're playing wrong. I started from the castle next to the city of Revyl and only conquered the cities of Sturgia. When an empire took over, even after regaining Sturgia, I didn't take it over because I knew they would declare war on me. Batania never told me anything, and when they were fighting with Wlandia, I helped them so that they wouldn't be absorbed, but not too much so that they wouldn't grow stronger. When I took over the entire sturgia. I left them one city next to the Hussians so that they would not touch me. Then I took care of Wlandia (Batania still didn't declare war because I had great relations with everyone). When I took over Wlandia, I focused on Batania and the empire and so I moved south. you guys have no patience for the game. As a mercenary, you can effectively balance the forces of kingdoms.

Ps:
I will add that for each war you have to conquer one city at a time and wait until the garrison is full. If I conquer a couple, I become a good target for other kingdoms. then there are fewer wars and the children grow up. I give my daughters to my npc clans
