im excited for duel mode
its cool that they are bringing in a new gamemode but I don't think its going to revive the multiplayer. I hope they release battle or private servers soon after duel. If they don't have battle or private servers by the time of full release then they are ****edim excited for duel mode
If I do consider something different and better than Warband it's the faction layout, especially Battania. I prefer the current faction pool to Warband's.
But that's just my opinion.
Not really no. Swadia had arguably the best cav, rhodoks the worst cav (so they can't play the same way), nords is an inf juggernaut, while vaegir relied on its powerful archers. Plus I'm not sure how you can say factions feel unique in bannerlord when the only tourney forces class limits.The factions seem more unique from one another, that is for sure. In Warband in terms of how factions played, Rhodoks and Swadia played quite similar, same with Nords and Vaegirs, and Sarranids felt like a ****ty version of Vaegirs.

Surely the blue barbarians and the green barbarians are more unique ^^. Banning Khergits was necessary because of a terrible balance after full release. This game is an EA so forcing class limits rn will only make the final result worse than what TW is planning to do.I meant more from a cultural perspective, playstyle wise yes you are correct.
I suppose one way to look at the class limits shenanigans is it is the same way we dealt with annoying obnoxious ****(Khergits) in Warband.
Tbh the bannerlord lore doesn't make much sense compared to warbands. Warband factions were mostly inspired by cultures from the same era, while BL has like 9 centuries of culture in the same era. I know most people like having the roman empire and Norman knights in the same game but it feels kinda weird ngl. Plus from what I recall from the SP, there is no difference besides the fac color between the 3 empires, which is quite shamefulI seem to recall a balance patch that didn't even attempt to balance Khergits after release though, but eh, I'm not going down this rabbit hole. I can only agree that class limits is not allowing Taleworlds to see the full picture but who's to say they would even fix it with the full picture anyways when you got folks literally screaming at them they don't want classes in the first place
Maybe I enjoy Bannerlord's cultures more because my celtic ass can finally relate to a faction
No, just no. Agree about most points of your drunken clarity though x)The factions seem more unique from one another, that is for sure. In Warband in terms of how factions played, Rhodoks and Swadia played quite similar, same with Nords and Vaegirs, and Sarranids felt like a ****ty version of Vaegirs.
Also yeah lances are pretty much trash in skirmish too. Sometimes I couch lance a arbalest with 3 armor from behind(with a full speed charge) and he survives with 30hp left. Even if you do everything right, game will randomly decide to **** you up and consider your %100 couch lance hit as "bounce", dealing no damage and staggering you.Are there any plans to improve the cavalry AI in terms of more productive use of lance and spears? Because now the statistics are about 1 hit per 5 misses. And the problem is precisely in the ability to use lance and spears, because lancers with glaives and cousers with menevlions are quite effective.
Shock troops shouldn't have access to throwables(or reduced amount). Heavy infantry should get only 1 throwing axe or javelin.
If shock troops and heavy infantry have access to javelins then what's the point of the skirmisher class?
Change my mind.

I'm sorry TW but you listened to some guys(I'm pretty sure most of them doesn't even play anymore) that were crying about how strong the couch lance was and you murdered couch lances in cold blood. Couch lance did needed a nerf, but not damage nerf, it needed couch lance cooldown(like in Warband). Every cav player I see in skirmish is now playing with spears because they are superior to lances.
TW:What about give people a warband equipment system and let people decide whether they want to be a shock trooper(by buying light equipment) or heavy infantry (by buying heavy infantry equipment), and then if there is an imbalance then change the price of an item or replace it with something else like you did e.g in Warband (vaegir archer having an OP 1h scimitar->you changed it to weaker falchion or club from what I remember)

Disclaimer: Canton is being satire.that's a bad idea. warband multiplayer didn't have a huge following, so we don't want to follow in its footsteps. god forbid bannerlord multiplayer would be as unpopular as warband's
