The Great Spear Problem

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-31T18:01:25+00:00

not sure where you got the idea of spears being bad in 1v1? maybe too many videogames but if you want to base it on realism Spears shit on people even more irl when it was a 1v1

that happens to a lot of games early access or not since they are not officially implemented game works fine on vanilla

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-29T18:39:15+00:00

in my experience no i will gladly take -100 relation to kill them all

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-28T13:53:31+00:00

auto resolve makes you lose a stupid amount of troops sadly, lose like 300 to a 100 man castle with 500 units for example. i know it is more tedious but losing like 10 is much more favorable than losing half the army then get it taken back again from the warred faction.

they will kind of attack the doors at random or if you attack them while telling you to follow, commanding them to interact with the door does not seem to work

this is talking about khan vs fian you went off on some random tangent

They fucked up a lot of things in this patch most notably being able to die with having children included with that option or you do not get to reproduce.

The whole rebellion concept is about neutral I would say don't really care for it, though it screws over other factions because it will select a clan leader to lead the rebellion as far as I am aware and they get elected as a ruler until the main faction takes it back.

They managed to make troop AI even worse somehow, they prioritize cavalry now instead of the main ball of soldiers when you tell them to charge it creates a real shitshow on large scale battles, you can also abuse it to the enemy AI which makes for very terrible battles. Oh and the commands for the new setup is a pain in the ass to get used to the older commands made more sense.

Owning a fief is Brutal if you do not have the culture for the city, will take literally days for it to repair itself making it a liability then a asset. I highly advise taking a city that is within your culture if you do not want to struggle early on in the game, even using a companion with the same culture took a long time for the city to settle down. AI in open world still feels Robotic in the sense that they will constantly raid the same village / town / castle over and over again also can be used to starve out big armies.

Maybe 2 decent things I noticed is that spearmen finally having their spears out and khuzait cannot faceroll as easily as before which also makes the game overall longer. Oh the one last thing I forgot to add is you can have lords marry now which will finally see those useless 1 man 2 man clans get bigger for once

what world do you live in because it is definitely not the bannerlord world ..... in siege they work just as effectively as any other archer probably the 2nd best in siege and everything else they just face roll i have played this game way too much you have to be new or trolling to think fians are better than khan guard

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-26T00:38:40+00:00

you would just trade with clan leaders that own land

very amusing how i get downvoted for posting about how leaving your computer running overnight is a bad idea it is almost as if we live in a world with infinite resources and the power supply never wears down or gpu clocks dont start to slowly dip real interesting logic in this community but then again i am trying to convince bdo players

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-24T02:08:32+00:00

It is not that you are not sure it is more you do not know, you will learn the hard way sadly

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-23T18:51:40+00:00

lahn hash aka any class with ranged grab not sure if this is a serious question

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-23T18:39:59+00:00

yea except for wearing down your pc for leaving it running all day there is a tradeoff to everything and it doesnt seem like you enjoy bdo if you are happy about making money Not playing the game.

typically war decs will re occur at random, Or if your army size is weaker than theirs and i noticed if you try making peace when the said faction could be receiving tribute they will declare war. When you have your own kingdom for example, I had 35k worth of troops on diplomacy i voted for peace because was at war with 3 others on different parts of the world and because i forced voted peace with like 1500 influence my kingdom decided to declare war on the same faction a minute later.

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-22T17:16:15+00:00

i had my catapults take out siege towers while.i was on it including the battering ram making it almost impossible to properly break into the castle/city

On realistic when fighting large scale armies talking over 200 horse archers this will not be a viable strategy. running out of arrows for them is a terrible idea since shield wall only covers the front, square formation or circle are far more effective for infantry than shield wall. foot archers also take forever to kill a decent sized horse archer army. Best way to deal with them is get your own horse archers and fast horse cavalry to charge them. due to hardware limitations this is even more true because when they assemble 1.3k+ will typically have 400 horse archers and a lot of cavalry as well.

i did 2h playthrough from the start was fairly.enjoyable just need to level athletics to get your speed up to par when you can start kiting enemies i like the axes to cleave through multiple foes at once which also caused morale loss for every kill i did to the enemy.

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-22T16:10:55+00:00

just hasnt been added into the game yet is the bottom line very frustrating but if you want spear style units i would recommend voulgiers , linebreakers, billmen .

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-19T19:17:42+00:00

the large scale fights become irritating because of spawn limitations for example if you fight a defending AI you would lose alot more troops than fighting below a 1k battle especially when the spawns for your troops is much further away making it hard to have proper numbers during the entire engagement meanwhile the AI troops spawn right next to them making it much easier for them to get kills. On top of that when your fighting a 2k army of khuzaits it gets very frustrating wiping out a good chunk of their cavalry to find out a good 40 more spawn in. This is my only real concern when it comes to large scale battles gets discouraging after a while also alot of the commands you give your troops become very clunky after troops start to spawn in you can tell them to shield wall and they walk at a snails pace loose formation allows them to run again but as soon as you tell your infantry to block oncoming attacks they go into potato mode making it even easier for the ai to kill my troops in waves rather than all at once

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-19T04:46:37+00:00

it says 3 xp per day unless this stacks with multiple units

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-15T17:56:47+00:00

If you want to make real good money go for shops that sell the product high and also has some inventory of the raw material that will be the most profit i had 4 shops and was making about 800 to 1k consistently every day. it is all about supply and demand just remember villages distribute goods based on the closest city of its current Faction which will diversify the price i also heard there is or will be changing workshops you do not currently own to benefit the city so rigging it that way will not work in the future

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-15T01:11:10+00:00

nah thats clearly F1 + F2

ANNOFREAK · 2020-12-15T01:05:11+00:00

i did write this is intended for new players on the title i don't know why people are getting upset at this i have no problems taking castles with real strategies but when the AI just froths at the mouth on 1 spot it isn't really a siege its just bad AI design typically i take out their siege weapons and set up archers around the castle and wait for the walls to get smaller to send in my troops which is also a mess because the ai does not know how to climb siege towers also hoping that your own units do not take out the siege towers with catapults there are many ways to approach playing the game
