Warband Swadian Infantry choices -
Six Helmets, Five Armours, Four Boots, Four Gloves.
Five One Handed Swords, Four Two Handers, Two Awlpikes, Four Shields, Two Throwing Weapons.
Amount of possible combinations depending on economy, situation and play style? 30,260,340
Bannerlord Vlandian Infantry choices -
Three niche, situational Infantry classes, with two perk slots, providing three arbitrary choices each. Some of which I could argue are redundant or entirely useless, but I digress.
Fifteen possible options per class, Levy, Voulgier and Sergeant. Three classes, times fifteen equals a measly 45
Pretending that the Bannerlord system is anything but a watered down, casual version of the previous games system is level of mental gymnastics I am not yet prepared to tackle. It will not lend itself to competitive play, it has watered down casual play, and is a grave insult to the sheer amount of armours that are currently available to Native Vlandia.
It lacks flavor and puts players into a box that nobody asked for.
That's just my personal opinion though.
