What are the new strategies/ diplomacy in Bannerlord?

[Indianerz]

What are some other ways of influencing the territory you control other than battles and conquering cities? What do you like about bannerlord that you couldn’t do in older versions of M&B?

There are gangs scattered around cities and thugs in the streets. How can these help your clan? Does removing them add to your cities prosperity, if you control the city as your fief? Or just give you good relations with rival gangs? Is it possible to set up your own thugs in streets, and what purpose would they serve?

There must be ways that trade, influence, gangs, prosperity, and power are connected with various actions that can be taken. I wonder what other things I might be missing?

The idea of bringing children into the family as leaders or vassals of the clan is interesting. I wonder what could be done with that?

Lots of new ideas to explore in Bannerlord. What are some new featues that can be used to further diplomacy and conquest?

For me it's the fact that they decided to remove half the content that made Warband. Incredible move, brilliant.

Edit: and yet we still don't have custom units

Best feature is A.I do things as the same rules as player do.

Lots of new ideas to explore in Bannerlord. What are some new features that you enjoy?

The new block, the board games, the improved horses, the new settlement quests (don't spit on me yet), the siege mechanics (which are present but unbalanced currently).

Currently playing an army officer on my main roleplay save (joining armies as merc with no troops and just running around commanding divisions). The tactical combat AI bossing me around is absolute nuts right now, but I trust TW to fix that sometime.

We've got a decent (and functioning, despite the outcry) skeleton of a game, like we were promised in EA release actually. So far it isn't that deep on features to come up with new ways of playing the game, but I manage

Combat AI is pretty good in my opinion. Once they get AI to start training peasants instead of sending them to their death against my cataphracts it is going to get quite intense on the battles.
