also it would be nice if the rebel factions could create their own kingdom, not just join an existing kingdom (except the players, because fuck you apparently) if multiple rebellions happened at the same time they could form their own faction and have a chance at doing something other than immediately get destroyed or just get taken over by an existing faction';

Wait this isn't even a feature a Bannerlord? How does it make combat a major focus yet take away or neuter mechanics from Warband?';

nope, the troop formation thing at the start of thr battle has 8 groups, you can set infantry, archers, cavalry, mounted archers or mixed cavalry, thata basically it, you can set groups to favour certain weapons like 2 handers or shields but thats pretty fucking useless, if you have two different types of troops that use the same weapons you can't separate them at all
and dont get me started on sieges... watching troops endlessly run across the siege camp to put up a ladder then run back to where youve told the troops to hold, just to run straight back as soon as the enemy pushes the ladder over, again and again and again is absolutely dogshit and has been happening from day 1
you also cant starve a town/castle anymore, you can only starve out the garrison, the milita and any lords parties inside apparently dont need to eat and never starve
i do like bannerlord but jesus they managed to fuck some shit up
lords wont join your faction on their own anymore, you have to convince them to join you, every time
towns can rebel if their loyalty gets too low, they usually get taken back pretty quickly but if they survive long enough they become and independent clan, other kingdoms can recruit these lords, they player cant
when a kingdom has its last fief taken they immediately get declared not a faction, the lords clans all then become independent clans, which again you cant recruit but the other kingdoms can, if they dont get picked up by someone within like a week the clans get destroyed';

Hello, I came here after someone recommended me the pendor mod (I'm on steam with 3.9.5 version), does anyone know if there's a way to identify the bandit search mission from the city guildmaster?
I don't know if they appear a different color, or if something identify them or if I should ask for clues somewhere or what.';

'>>1755713
well I think this is a vanilla mission and it fucking sucks balls like many of them
I think they should be colored blue? Also other lords should be able to give you hints?
But basically very few quests are actually worth your time, and hunting for a small bandit party that could be anywhere isn't one of them';

'>>1755719
>I think they should be colored blue?
Thank you.
uh...
the name description?
or the unit is colored that way?
I mean, my party got a kinda decent spotting (but not tracking) and what I want is to increase the favor of an specific town (but I guess I could just go for inviting drinks to everyone in the tavern every day to get the same result).
I don't know if there's a way to reject the mission or what would happen if I just fail it after the time is over, but the bandit they said is usually just around an specific area, but there are lots of them.';

'>>1755728
the unit name on the world map I think
unless it isn't
I'm sure that in the other quest that spawns 3-5 bands of looters you have to chase around they're all blue, not 100% sure if this also works here since it selects a party preexisting on the map to make it a quest objective but I think it does?';

and well, I guess many people been playing wb for thousands of hours yet have not touched a quest from guildmaster in years, may even have trouble remembering what quests there are lol
quests for lords can be handy to raise relations with them, but in towns it's such a fucking pointless hassle';

'>>1755816
Can confirm.
When I first played Warband in 2020 I didn't realise guildmaster quests were a thing until like 50 hours went by or something.

Doing a new playthrough in vanilla Warband now and some of them are kind of a fucking pain to find. Gotta walk into town, look around for the guy, maybe he's just on the main road, or maybe he's tucked away in some little corner or back alley. Makes me appreciate Bannerlord's click-the-little-face UI tbqh.';

'The only thing I just ignore from Bannerlord is the smithing system, for whatever reason I can't make myself to like it. When I started trying it, it was:
>go to that place with cheap wood
>buy lots
>make lot of charcoal
>unlock the "more charcoal" perk when reaching
>start melting stuff
>make weapons with whatever I get from melted stuff
>and this all while just staying resting in that town because for whatever reason you can't recover that stamina any way else, and it's just for smiting.
And all this for that "extra endurance point", but for me all that hassle wasn't worth it
>but you can make pretty OP weapons
I don't care, not worth the hassle for me anyways.
And having perks which "help with smithing" in other branches seem a waste of space.
The other thing I dislike is the hassle to raising commerce to 300 so I can buy/sell towns. I kind of found an exploit for this:
>pick a family member who can be used for leading a party
>make them lead a caravan
>be affiliated to any kingdom (being a vassal/mercenary/[haven't tried as king yet])
>find them in the road
>give them whatever expensive equipment you have (mostly looted stuff from enemy lords)
>suddenly they get loads of income because of that
>their merchant skill also grows a lot
That's the only way I managed to reach 300 in commerce with a character, and then retire and use them to do the towns buy/sell shenanigans.

I guess they put a lot of effort in adding all this smiting system thing (It's a minigame inside the game), but I really hate it, and you can't even make armors, bows, shields nor arrows.
I wonder if anyone else thinks like me, or even better, have a good idea of how this may be solved.';

With Fire and Sword already had the right idea by making it a commission to spend your obscene amount of late game wealth on. All they had to do was keep that feature and add in the customizable parts but of course they screwed it up.td0m';

I played that for a bit, but stopped after seeing there weren't female unit trees (yeah, I like playing with "sisters only parties" for whatever reason).
How does this smithing system works? I never managed to reach a part in game where I could use it (didn't understand the custom mercenary system either).';

'>>1756719
you could get some let's call them end-game items that are not in regular stores by ordering them at blacksmith, there weren't many of them and they were expensive, and you could only do that if you owned a city/town? I think?
in general wfas tried to have a bit more linear gear progression, tied to your standings with your faction';

Literally me.

'Tried pendor for the first time, I never really bothered with any warband mods besides diplomacy. I kind of liked it for a bit but then all the cracks started to show, and after I read up on the wiki on some of the changes they made, I got even more confused at their design choices
>qualis gems required for top tier gear, CKO, upgrading self and companions. Super useful but ridiculously annoying to farm since they rely on a pre-rolled capture chance solely on unique spawns
>said unique spawns can become absurd deathballs that you need to abuse in a "surprise siege" but god help you actually get the triggers right on one, and god help you actually be there when it happens so you can take advantage of it
>you can actually fuck up your renown/prestige by spending too much of it if you go into lategame
>everything is grindy. Literally everything.
>specific troop lines can literally only be obtained by talking to companions. Then you have a small chance of getting maybe 1 or 2 free top tier troops. Even though they have high stats/gear you'll still never have more than maybe 5 at a time if you're consistently fighting, since you can only ask A SINGLE COMPANION a WEEK. example: you can't upgrade the hauptmann to a forlorn hope, you MUST ask Frederick and if he's not in your party, good luck. This wasn't the case in The previous patch
>the mod creators removed the level requirements for certain companions preferring to just give them shit gear, but left their pet faction noldor companion keep his for some fucking reason

Don't read the comments on the wiki, it's just full of weird "you should be grateful you get any type of QOL feature, the mod is supposed to be hard"

I'm not a fucking NEET, I'm not going to grind out 10 unique spawn captures just to get the ability to spend 100k denars on a single axe (which was ALSO nerfed to shit)
