i had an old playthrough where i was about 75% the way done conquering all of the continent, but some update hit and my buccelari became garbage tier so i walked away from bannerlord and cursed it as a failure.
i got bored, had nothin to at night, so i figured id start a new campaign, see what all has changed. the start was surprisingly smooth, no timers anywhere forcing me to do anything i didnt want to do. +++
i saw they had nerfed trade by moving castle buying to the end of the tree, big suck. whatever, trade is easy it just takes a long time. i figured id get started asap.
i immediately noticed the economy is absolutely fncking stupid. i have not encountered a single trade rumor that was accurate. the fish trade has been nerfed so hard it makes me feel stupid. "oh, your city just got seiged 4 times in a row? you have zero food at all? i have 170 trade skill? guess im selling u this fish at 15-10 coins a pop now..." should have been like 40-20. if i cant gouge the rich cities, then whats the point of trade?
anyways, i finally found a spicevendor companion and immediately made her a caravan. its been 180 days and shes NEVER made over 500 coins, on top of that 1/4 days she doesnt even show up in my budget(like she doesnt exist) and i end up eating the entire bill for my army. what the literal fnck is going on. how are these caravans so garbage now?
i found a "lucky" fellow. made him a caravan. he routinely only produces 10-100 coins, and like the spicevendor 1/4 days he doesnt even show up on the budget, leading to me eating the entire bill.
i hit clan tier three, and started deploying small armies of "golden" and "lucky" companions. sometimes, they cost like 300-500 coins. sometimes they cost 1100-1500 coins. i dont understand what the fnck is happening. this strategy WORKED for me in the past. its like, building a solid foundation to conquer the continent is against the rules now? tf?
i genuinely dont know what to do. i cant continue when i cant make enough money to support what i have. i dont even have a lot. 135 tier2-4 units, with the majority being infantry and archers. the bandit factions are now large enough to eat my 30 man caravans, which they are doing. i cant afford the -1500 a day PLUS the loss of caravans. why were caravans nerfed so hard? whats the point of all this? why why why? i was playing after posting this on reddit, and i got a nice screenshot of the absolute financial crisis im experiencing. im so broke now, that i have to disband all armies, kick all my companions out, give away all my troops, and start completely over, except this time with a 4k debt.
investing in the caravans completely ruined me.
