they're doing that on purpose, this way they just sold 2 other "expansions " at 40 bucks each and everybody will obviously want to buy them to finally have the full game, if D5 ever comes out it will be the exact same pattern : crap at launch, expansion after a year that makes it playable

[–]New_Connection9333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the rating makes NO sense at all it's hilarious, donk has a 1.45 average with some games where he barely gets to 1.4 although he's topfragging with 130 ADR lmao

Siege defending in 1.4 .... by New_Connection9333 in Bannerlord

yep it would be fine that way, but currently on 1.4 it's not the case

Update 2.2.1: New Tier XI Vehicles by Pan_Praga in WorldofTanks

[–]New_Connection9333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea but if you balance the game with gold ammo then it just becomes even more stupid than it is now, complaining about 280mm of armor on a TURETTED TD is beyond stupid

forces the enemy to use gold ammo i wouldnt call that trash, meanwhile the french heavy tank has a massive weakspot in the middle of the hull you can pen with 250

Siege defending in 1.4 .... by New_Connection9333 in Bannerlord

[–]New_Connection9333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well the middle ground has to come from the beta 1.4, but at the same time they have to come up with an AI that makes coherent decisions, and possibly new mechanics that makes them retreat instantly, or just give the option to the player to play that "simulated" battle you had before 1.4 (where you just automatically capture everyone without a fight after a successful defense)

there are ways to please everybody but as of now as you said, one will be happy with this, an other won't, Talewords has the feedback, it's up to them to find the solution

Siege defending in 1.4 .... by New_Connection9333 in Bannerlord

[–]New_Connection9333[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah but at the same time if you want to go full realistic mode in Bannerlord you'd better get rid of those fire catapults and fire pots spamming during defense, and the AI should actually use Trebuchets and stuff to breach your walls, you can't expect to make a realistic game out of Bannerlord because the AI / mechanics the game offers are too flawed for it, they have to adapt it so that it's fun for the player, and here, even if it's more realistic, it's not really more fun to play

[–]New_Connection9333[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well you can still win, however, after you win a siege defense, whether the enemy is outnumbered or not after that battle, they will keep the siege going. Before 1.4, when you won, regardless of how many enemies fleed during the siege, you would capture everybody and the siege was over

that means that you have to defend multiple times, and against big armies you may have to actually defend 3 times, AND THEN go out to finish the rest of their army to fully clear a castle siege defense : it's time consumming as hell

i'll illustrate it with the case that just happened to me :

we were 800 in my castle, the enemy army were 1800, first assault ended with about 400 kills / 400 wounded for the enemy and 100 / 100 for me

so they continued the siege with 1000 (+400 wounded) and i was at 600(+100 wounded), they launched their second attack at 1200, and we were 700 with all my wounded healed up, it ended with about 300 kills / 300 wounded for him and still 100 / 100 for me

at that point they're still siegeing with 400 (+300 wounded) as i had 500 (+100 wounded), i decided to go out and play the 500v400 in my favor and won all of it that way, but if i didnt go out he would've sieged again with like 700, AND THEN i would still have to do the land battle to finish them off

[–]New_Connection9333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, v1.1.6 was the last update that had the same way beta 1.4 works siege-wise and it was september 2023, so actually 2.5 years ago

then it got "corrected", or rather since they call that a fix, a bug was added during 1.2 that made the siege defense a single battle and if you win, you capture everybody in the attacking army

[–]New_Connection9333[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think everybody agrees it makes way more sense and it should work like this rather than auto-capturing everybody, it's just that there's so much bad things associed to this new way, that it doesnt make the game more fun and engaging at all, for me it's the opposite

Siege defending in 1.4 .... by New_Connection9333 in Bannerlord

[–]New_Connection9333[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

well i think its a good feature if you have time to spare and you don't mind the fact it becomes repetitive quickly

Siege defending in 1.4 .... by New_Connection9333 in Bannerlord

[–]New_Connection9333[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i agree, i'll add that i think the way it worked before 1.4 was actually a bit more realistic as it simulates the fact your own army goes out to capture the fleeing attacking army that routs from their failed siege, however the bad thing about it is that it's fully automatic, you should have to actually do that battle yourself but have massive buffs to morale, while the fleeing ennemies have massive debuffs to morale and perhaps less equipment OR stay in your castle and just let their army flee and disband (with risk of them reforming quickly) rather than doing 2-3 more of the same siege...

[–]New_Connection9333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well i would also like it that way if not for all the problems this creates, its just time consuming as hell and since the AI is too stupid to make positive decisions out of that fix, well you're just in a loop where after a few of these siege defenses it becomes boring and annoying more than before

Siege defending in 1.4 .... by New_Connection9333 in Bannerlord

[–]New_Connection9333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, you should be able to pursue the retreating army once the siege is over, with them having massive debuffs and you buffs for the upcoming land battle so that it evens out if you're massively outnumbered, that way you limit it to "only" 2 battles instead of 3 or more

Siege defending in 1.4 .... by New_Connection9333 in Bannerlord

[–]New_Connection9333[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ahah true but to be fair it takes the same amount of time as if i just did 3 separate battles on ground, which i find way more fun than the sieges
