"Ragequit if you die as this unit" is still a fatal flaw IMO. TaleWorlds has no interests in giving Empire a solid pick for late joiners, so it's probably prudent for every other Empire unit to be balanced around this.Empire definitely doesn't need any buff, it's already one of the best factions in Bannerlord.
Because i seem to be the only sane person in the face of intentional imbalancing in multiplayer games, an issue that I've seen in two completely different games too: SoulCalibur VI and Killing Floor 2. At least those games can vaguely justify their imbalances (emphasis on vaguely, of course) as an attempt to sell a product. What exactly is the reason for having intentionally bad picks in Bannerlord?you keep rambling on about Empire and the recruit in particular, yet noone else does... wonder why that is
I've honestly never understood this particular crusade. Spatha is not a bad sword, with Imp. Javelins you can oneshot some classes and you have a medium shield, access to spear. Good all around support to Legions. Even among Empire classes that need love I put the Recruit pretty low.It is a 100 gold unit with throwings. It is not bad
It's still worse than Sturgia's Raider Axe or Short Sword (Warrior's shortsword is attached to 24 armor), the Khuzait Rabble's Sickle, Peasant Levy's Hammer or Sickle (16 Armor IIRC), Aserai Tribal's Kaskara, and the Battanian Mace/Axe comboSpatha is not a bad sword
Imperial Javelins/Spatha is the only perk worth picking tbh. You're not gonna live long enough to make use of the Javelin x6's higher total damage, Footwork is basically useless, and you aren't gonna live long enough to see your shield take more than 80 damage. Even with the best possible loadout, I feel like the Recruit will lag behind in enough situations that late joiners are SOL and early birds have to play other classes perfectly.Imp. Javelins you can oneshot some classes and you have a medium shield, access to spear

Warbands class system when?
The butter knife attached to it will only succeed in getting you killed because you missed all your javelins, likewise with the Stronger Shield perk.Jesus christ, it's one of the best perks alongside melee expert.
The weapon doesn't get you killed, missing javalins doesn't get you killed. This perk actually helps you survive as you can outrun people.The butter knife attached to it will only succeed in getting you killed because you missed all your javelins, likewise with the Stronger Shield perk.
Working as intended.This was written a while ago. Are the devs done with mp, or are we going to get another "Statement regarding plans for mp"
MP forums are dead lmfao, the last most active thread was a bait meme thread and even that died pretty quicklyHappy birthday
An update for this year would be super cool
This would imply there are Plans for Multiplayer, though.Volume 6 would be super
There's always God's Plan, even for Bannerlord multiplayer. Perhaps it's a lesson about hubris followed by downfall.This would imply there are Plans for Multiplayer, though.
Not really, only you. Mods are the only thing saving the game but like anything they take time to fully develop.At this point, I think we're just waiting for the inevitable shutdown of the multiplayer mode.
