Sure how else would you keep the Dark Ones rodent spies away? We cant all put down wards to guard against such...

I'll have one of those Aserai lions, please.
Yeah I think we need war dogs. I'm not sensitive about it, as some seem to be based on their above messages. It's a real thing that happened, so it makes sense, but it's in a video game so we need to separate our dislike of something to determine if it would be a cool feature in a video game. Remember: we have slaves in Mount & Blade, no one said "no" to that

Great suggestion OP.
.Great suggestion OP.
I just hate fighting bands of quick, small and suicidally brave mammals in games. No deeper reason, I just find those fights annoying. I won't die or rage quit if someone brings their dog to battle and animals with varying castle functions could be interesting.
Well you could always mod them out. If you don't like them. Or maybe we get wardogs as a mod, since they are probably dogs already in the game
I would love more diverse units in general. So I would also love to see some wardogs, as long as they are somewhat limited as a spacial unit.
Not every Bandit group should have some trained, suicidal dogs that attack you.
Perhaps in combat the warding just grapple you down to ground the way a horse charge does.

So Taleworlds seem bent on making this a pseudo historical game and historically dogs were bred and used for war. However they seldom took up roles in the actual fighting instead being used as guard dogs and early warning systems for an army while they were camped. This isnt to say that no dogs were ever used as an attacking unit there are reports of dogs being sent in to break enemy lines before cavalry were sent in.
In terms of Bannerlord and how I personally think they should be used, I think each faction should use dogs differently, Battanians should use dogs aggressively given their preference for ambush tactics while the Empire, being more focused on formation and even application of force, should be more conservative of their dogs using them as guards. Honestly, to me this just gives Taleworlds a new way to tell us something about each of the factions and lords. Like it would be neat if there were no dialogue telling us someone didnt care about animals where as another lord did by just giving them or restricting them from taking animals in battle

I wouldn't mind having warhounds, but I'd like them to be useful. I remember you could have a dog in VC and God almighty, they were more useless than my cat.
