Is there any way to find info on weapons, armor equipment? The wiki I tried to look at was so barebones and empty. I just want to know where to buy certain shit and I feel like ripping my hair out trying to fight google searching to show me what im asking for.
Played probably around official release time. Has anything changed since then? I liked the game but I did the dragon quest and thought the dynamic it added when I claimed a nation or whatever sucked. Has that been balanced at all? If not I'll just play a sandbox game.
Also, any floris-like mods yet?
Im doing a campaign playthrough and currently a vassal for sturgia. I have a huge family and I was wondering if I can do anything with them when they are of age, can I turn them into their own vassal or clan? Do I need to be king before I can do that or is it only possible with companions?
I found the solution. I had disabled the aging mod, so when I made sandbox game, it would automatically activate its in-built aging option i think, and have it always enabled. When i enabled the mod in the launcher menu, the option appeared in sandbox mode for me to allow to enable or disable aging and birth.
Anybody know if there's an up-to-date spreadsheet of companion stats? There was a google doc from over a year ago, but I think there's been a rebalance patch since then that makes it out of date.
I was doing a mercenary run and decided to take a rebelling city. I own it now, I am not an official kingdom, I just wanted a headquarters kinda thing while working for different kingdoms but it turns out you can't keep being a mercenary if you own land. The option is greyed out.
So, my question is that if I go the bandit route and attack a random kingdom, do they attack my city? I thought maybe they won't because I am not a kingdom.
Hey there guys, haven't been playing the game since my first play at launch. I remember it being quite monotonous at that time. Has the game changed significantly?
If I recruit militia prisoners, (ie Militia Spearmen, Militia Archers) and put them in the garrison, should they cost wages? I heard "militia don't cost wages", so I've been prioritizing the ones I see to save for garrisons, but for the first time I actually checked and adding milita spearmen to the garrison increased the garrison cost.
Should I go back and dump out all these militia units I have in my garrisons currently?
They still cost wages if you put them in the garrison. I think it's the same cost as other t2 units. If it's more, then yeah dump em, but if it's the same they're okay because they can't level up, so they will never increase in cost. But they're only t2 and not very useful as troop replacements.
Was curious if any other mappers / scene editors have set up teleport doors? I'm dabbling with a custom siege map and would love to link two doors that are interactable and teleport you to the other side when activated but not sure how to go about it using scripts.
I've got an issue/bug where if I join an NPC's army, they refuse to do anything other than patrol. Like they'll be on their way to siege a town, I join, and then they give up and go back to patrolling. But then the moment I leave the army, they siege.
Is there some stupid setting I've got to change? Or is there a mod that addresses this?
Is there a reason why Sturgia Heavy Axemen keeps walking back when ordered to "Engage" instead of attacking enemies? I thought it was because of their remaining throwing axes but even after exhausting their entire ammo they still walk back when ordered to Engage.
Yeah I noticed this as well. I believe if a unit inf units with any throwing weapons gets skirmisher behaviour it seems. I haven't had time to check, but is it possible designate a formation during the staging phase. Before battle? If so maybe it could be fixed by designating them to pure melee?
If that didn't work I was planning on just using pure melee units for that kind of tactics.
Is there any purpose to having high relations with lords and ladies in other factions? If I was engaged by a larger army led by someone that I have high relations, would they be more willing to let me go?
No, they won't let you go, I think you can barter to be left alone and it might effect the barter price, but they'll still go raid you villages and siege your fiefs so it's pretty useless. Actually I can't remember if you can barter with an army to leave you alone, it might only be individual lords, not sure can't check ATM. If you're a ruler, having high relations with a clan can lower the amount of gold they want to join your faction, but there's several other things effecting it more. If enemy with high relation has an otherwise equal chose of raiding your village or someone with less relations, they should choose the less one. but that doesn't means they won't turn around and raid yours next. Overall, relations is a pretty undeveloped thing in the game.
Is there a limit on the number of clan family members? I'm trying to breed a huge clan at the moment but after about 60 members pregnancies stopped popping up. Some people say they had that problem at 60 as well while others say they don't though their reports seem to be a bit on the older side. And if TW did add such a limit is there a way or mod to remove it?
Yes, but I don't remember what it is. There's a coded max number of clan members though and people have reported their grandchildren stop making children because of it.
Depends. If you have a way of not getting captured and then coming back with a large army to slaughter them yes. If you are getting captured and dragged around as a prisoner, no.
don't know if this is the best place to post this but been playing the Realm Of Thrones mod, joined the westerlands because they were being hammered from all sides so seemed like it would be a good place to earn a lot of fiefs and i did but now i feel i want to make a kingdom of my own yet i don't seem to be able to. i leave the westerlands but the kingdom tab is just gone, can't click it anymore there's no option to found a kingdom or make peace with them or anything.
Is there a solution to the constant crashes? I am playing on Xbox Series X and the game crashes about every 15 mins. I’m not even doing anything load intensive. I am selling wares in cities or moving around the campaign map and it chrashes
EDIT/UPDATE: I found that doing the same tasks repeatedly in a short time does this. I was stocking up on smithing material and going back to the town to smith and the game would crash. I “fixed” the problem by chasing a bandit party for a little bit before going back to smithing. So if you are doing the same task repeatedly it may cause crashing.
Nope. Had this probably before the most recent patch to where the game would crash literally every 10 minutes almost. Eventually just gave up and waited for the update which helped but didn’t fix it entirely.
I’d recommend setting your autosave from every 30 min to every 10-15 so you don’t lose 30+ minutes of work like myself.
I'm getting a little crazy. I'm late game and I can't be voted not even once for a fief.
I'm conquering them alone, I'm Clan Tier 6 while others clans are 5, 4 and 3 (8 clans under my kingdom), I have more than one million gold, huge army, huge influence, yet my clans have more fiefs than me the king.
What am I doing wrong?
You're not doing anything wrong, "the game" stops putting you on the ballot after you have enough fiefs, it also weighs your wealth against you and cares a lot about proximity of owned fiefs. So you give a guy a fief and then the game wants to give him the next fief over. If everyone gets a lot of fiefs you might start showing up on the ballot again but it's annoying. What I do as a ruler is to use companions to make new clans (giving up a fief + 500 influence) until I'm out of fiefs, then I'm 99% on the ballot of the next fief and can take it and then make a new clan and just go on like this and flood the game with new clans. Often getting a hold of new wanderers is the hard part. You don't have a fief but you get so much money form loot... who needs it.
Seems like no 1 comments on theses threads I can't help but do u have any clan or kingdom name suggestions for a character named (none of your fucking business) look for something clever or punny somewhat curse word ish
I need help naming a Kingdom and/or a clan with somewhat punny, inappropriate and clever names. For example, my character name is none of your f****** business. That's the name. I got it from some Reddit user. I don't remember their name. Please help. Need something that is in that realm also cant make post because I've never posted on reddit before I guess
I’ve had two companions I couldn’t assign to scout from the parties page, so I used the trick where you talk them into the assignment while standing in the campaign map.
However, when I do this, they don’t gain scouting xp. Are they just dead in the water for scout xp?
Let me know if this is happening to anyone else, l was defending a siege it was about 350 defending against 1200, and after I killed
350-450 they just surrendered even though they still got like 800-700 in reserves that hadn't spawned yet but instead of pulling back and recovering and building more siege engines they just immediately surrender everything which makes segues less fun and immersion breaking. I remember a couple updates ago. The Al used to do this. You know pull back and recover while building more siege engines but now they just immediately surrender Does anyone know how to fix this?
Click one of the empty formation on the right, click the icon and choose the sword for infantry, click the + and look for a spear icon, now slide it to match the amount of spearmen you have and visually confirm that you have a group of spearmen.
Are there any mods that allow you to direct vassal armies? Currently the king of Vlandia and we're at war with every border nation. We have four 700-1000 armies walking around but they always make the dumbest decisions. Like sieging a castle on the other side of the map when the enemy is taking one of our home towns. Thanks!
Another question: Which factions are good for not having influence draining policies? Even with over 100 charm both Vlandia and the Khergits have policies which drain influence, usually faster than the action.
I think they just have chance to try for a policy every so often, I don't think the factions are different. It's good to save often and re-load if something outrageously stupid gets proposed.
Is it possible to deselect and not use certain formations in battle?
For instance if we're fighting in a forest and I decide I'd rather not use my cavalry and just attack with my archers and infantry
So, it seems that all wounded garrison (maybe only if there are no healthy troops?) dies after you ambush the attacking enemies during a siege. Not sure if this also applies to militia. Is this by design or just a bug/oversight by the devs?
EDIT: ambushes seem to be just generally broken [https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/siege-appears-to-be-broken.462299/#post-9893108](https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/siege-appears-to-be-broken.462299/#post-9893108)
Did they change ladders in sieges? I remember enemies routed if you destroy their siege engines, but now they run to the ladders the moment I destroy their ram and towers.
I tried joining my first siege, and after the loot is given out and I leave the siege, my game freezes. This happened four times. I tried joining the battle as a fighter and sending my troops in. Freezes either way.
My PC is not running hot, my gpu is not struggling. Searched the sub and saw issues from several years ago, but no solutions.
Help?
I hope you figure it out. I tried a couple more times after verifying my files through steam, but no luck. I gave up on that siege and tried a different one, which worked fine. So, I have no idea what the deal is.
How is my share of loot calculated? Because it doesn't seem to be based on how many warm bodies I bring, or cold ones I leave behind me, I always get ripped off.
If you join a battle that has already been going for a while you get less of the share, because it counts the casualties that happened before you were there in the loot percentage.
Playing on steam deck and I can't figure out how to get my troops in a circle or skein, the first 4 formations have buttons assigned to them but the rest don't and I can't see a way to select them
Just starting out, am I understanding right that the player character grows old and dies? I'm a way, that's cool, but it kind of puts a stressor on how I spend my time that I could do without.
2 things to help with the stress of that:
1. Your character can get good at medicine, there are two perks that allow clan members and the character to cheat old age death. I've seen several characters live very long lives.
2. A lot can be achieved in the lifetime of your character, but once they do die your play will pass to your heir who you will have been able to grow as they age.
Why won't this guy offer any of his children for marriage? He has 3 children that are 18 or older. I have multiple unmarried people in my clan 18 or over. I checked and none of his children are in armies or parties or anything like that. When I talk to him, there is no option to propose a marriage. Are there other conditions that prevent a marriage proposal?
https://preview.redd.it/v5jr1lmvl4pc1.png?width=1482&format=png&auto=webp&s=a5c72044c414d1e3b79e3978da22d35b36a780c1
make sure neither of you are in an army. if either fo you are in an army then marriage options dont show.
also i am not sure but i think you need to talk to clan leaders
Searched the forums and subs for solution to this problem, can't find it anywhere. My army refuses to use multiple pieces of siege equipment at once. I have a battering ram and two towers, but all the infantry is obsessed with mobbing up at the ram and dying immediately to catapult fire.
If I don't auto-delegate and rather do the suggested "deploy a unit at siege equipment when marker turns into blue gears" they just stand at the towers doing watching the ram die.
UPDATE: Updating here in the off chance that it helps someone in the future. This bug randomly appears for various cities. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. Not sure why. What happens is that it wants to use the siege equipment sequentially instead of simultaneously. So even if you only have a single tower, it will move the tower to the walls and then run elsewhere to erect ladders.
They added cheats for consoles, which is the best; however, there is a problem. I must press x on my controller more than 1000 times to get millions of denars. Why can't they allow us to change the amount we want, such as a billion dinars? I have another idea! They should add a feature where you can customize your soldiers to represent your kingdom and have tiers. For example, the Khuizats have mounted horse archers as their special unit. Another great idea would be to add a feature where you can choose your child's gender. Or customize the banners or flags of the clans in your kingdom. A feature that allows you to rename a castle or town you own. a feature that gives you the option to customize your horse.
Okay so I'm not a native english speaker and I just learned that "X is with child" to mean pregnant is an actual english expression and not just a mistake by the devs
the only mods i have been am able to run successfully are Harmony, Butterlib, UIExtenderEx and Mod configuration menu v5 which basically means i can only play the vanilla game even with verifying game files and deleting bannerlord from my documents dir. Is it just me or is does this game have 0 mod support?
Long time Warband player here. I have an old laptop, and curious if I can run Bannerlord. I have i5 11th gen, 20gb RAM, MX350 GPU. Should I get this game? I don't mind playing low army count, and in a lower graphics (for as long as it's still looks better than Warband).
Your laptop is better than the minimum specs, but the GPU is holding you back for the recommended specs.
If you want to know if you can risk it, maybe get Xbox PC Game pass for 10 bucks, test it out, and if it doesnt work ask for a refund?
Before the siege battle you can talk to them and examine their troops and slide all their troops into yours, launch the attack, then after you win put what you want in the garrison, then talk to them and give back the troops BEFORE you move on the map. It's tedious and if you enter the fief again they will put guys in there, but it's a workaround.
# Bannerlord console commands not showing ingame PC.
I have the game on epic games and have enabled cheat mode on the file document but when i am playing the game and pressed alt + \` \~ it wont show up. I have tried to verify the files and i've never used or installed mods in the game and have always been playing it vanilla. Also tried to reinstall the game but still no fix. I am also on the latest version of the game, V 1.2.9.34269. Most of its cheats are working like the inventory all weapons, outfit, horses etc in the game can be seen and available, also teleport in the campaign map is working. It's just the command console is not. I need HELPPP PLEASEE!!!
Hey guys, i stopped to play Bannerlord on the 1.1.2 (or 1.1.1) release because it broke my mods and i couldn't launch a game anymore. (oh and also there was this bug that put random people you're talking to/people you save to -100 relation... I didn't want it to break my game)
I want to play a bit more now, but my game is stuck on the 1.1.1 version on steam. I think I tried to rewind my game back to the version it worked, but it didn't work and still couldn't launch..
So...
Can i come back ? Do mods work again with newer versions?
And how to update the game? It's in 'always update" mode, i'm checking the integrity of the files right now, but steam doesn't want to update it. I don't remember how i did it.
Finally what version should i aim for if i want mods to work? 1.2.7 looks good?
> Finally what version should i aim for if i want mods to work? 1.2.7 looks good?
I asked this same question a few months ago and received no answer. I've been able to get Fourberie running on 1.2.8 but I gave up on trying to get anything else to work. And it still seems kinda buggy.
You should be able to end the battle during a siege without having to surrender all your troops if it gets to a certain point. I’m dead and can’t command and the enemy with 9 troops left is just sitting at a trebuchet while me having 73 guys left just sit there. All that progress about to be lost smh. Stupid.
Edit:and this isn’t the first time it’s happened last time someone glitched into the wall and I couldn’t do anything about it.
If I pledged the dragon banner to Sturgia and left the clan, is there a way to rejoin and complete the quest if i find a way to kill the leader and become king?
Did the game update and fuck all my mods ?
I don't know what happened, today I started playing like any other day, but weirdly, my mods were all unloaded, so I loaded them all and started my save, but it just crashes whenever I try to load anything
I can't even start a new campaign anymore with the exact mods that I played with yesterday
The hell ?
Is there a way to remove all cav from the game. I would really love to play with inf and archers only and cavs are a bit pain in the ***
So does anyone know a way to do that?
What’s the deal with 2 handed maces? Or maces in general? But specifically 2 hand is the blunt damage deceptive? Also why don’t they add war hammer heads or something? I want to make a hammer like I’m Robert boratheon.
blunt damage ignores all armour if that's what you mean by "deceptive"
also a lot of 2h maces have the crush through option, having a chance of dealing part of their damage through blocks
Companions reassigning to roles is broken. Cannot assign them to party roles or fief governing roles without messing around constantly with bringing them into parties/leaving them in setttlements.
Troop AI is bugged in seiges where they don't use engines even when trying to direct them to use them.
Anyone else have these issues?
i think this is happening when you use the option to recall companion to party. when you pick them up manually i think it works fine. Work around is to talk to them through the party screen and assign them manually to the role. it may still show black on the clan-party screen but they are in the role you select
family it works either way
Hi,
Anyone else on series X having their game just crash constantly? I can't load a battle with 1k plus troops at any time which is annoying.
I run the game with waves unlimited only because if I put it on any other option I normally only end up with 60-100 troops but the enemy can spawn 400+. I recently had 100vs 700 because off the waves.
I’m having trouble getting it running, using game pass. It crashes on the game booting up every time, it gets to the art of the guys in the snow and the running horse in the bottom right and then shows this

Can anyone help?
ideally, both. if you arent choosing intelligence to max out points and level 10 attribute (for medicine and steward) for your MC then use family members or companions for steward/medicine.
Leadership always for MC tho
Is there a mod that helps make fief distribution make sense? I'm the king, I should get to say who gets what fief. But right now as king I never even get to assign a fief to myself lol.
Is there a way to change my campaign avatars height?
My man is so tall that if I swing my sword, half the time, it doesn't connect. I am not using mods.
Ive had some conflicting information on wheather tactics works as a skill (and its perks) for your party leaders.
Obviously steward and medicine are extremely important for family members (or campanions) you plan on leading parties.
But if tactics actually works for their auto-resolved battles, that would make cunning (with both scouting & tactics pushed high) probably more valuable than leveling social for leadership.
Need assistance. Literally bought the game a few hours ago for the first time, every time I start it, it just crashes. I have tried every trouble shooting in the book. Run as admin, install all dependencies, install to a new drive, delete every folder of the game and reinstall, restart computer, run it straight from the install folder, run the native.exe, literally EVERYTHING and it just crashes and crashes. Any help is appreciated.
Newer player here. Any feedback on how to make the AI suck less ass at losing towns and castles I have to keep sieging to retake?
I'm at the point in the campaign where the remaining non-Imperial factions are constantly at war with me (Southern Empire). I'm working through Aserai lands but I have to keep re-sieging the same fucking towns because the AI can't keep them. It's getting tedious and frustrating.
Anything I can do to make this part easier? I donate extra troops to the garrison and I think the AI just discards them.
What am I missing?
When I got stuck on this my first play through I used this strategy. Alternate using mostly other lords for war and your own companions as the base/bulk of an army. Ideally when one group isn’t in your army they will be raising troops on their own.
Once you successfully siege, heal, reload and have identified a new target discharge everyone in your army. Head to the new target and in your way there call up the new, full armies. This will always give you an influence drain break.
The discharged armies will remain in the area of the conquered again ideally recruiting and cleaning up/defending but often being captured so proceed with caution.
But in any war there is risks and rewards. You’ll often have to rush across the map many times pointlessly I might add. You have to decide if the squeeze is worth the juice to advance or retreat.
Not a sure thing, but one thing I do to help defense is companion armies. Create a new party with a companion, give them high tier troops (they don't upgrade troops on their own), call them to an army (no influence cost for companion parties), walk to where you want them to defend, release them from your army, and set them to defensive (its in the party tab on your clan screen). They'll wander a bit, but with a strong army they should do some good in a newly conquered region.
Side note, as soon as I can afford it, I create a companion party and then always have them in an army with me if I don't need them elsewhere. It's great leadership skill training for the main character, and good skill training for your companion.
Hi, after uploading to 1.2.8 all mods and the game won’t work anymore, someone told me that my problem was cause of reshadea I downloaded, I deleted them but still won’t work. Even reinstaling the game won’t work, something is corrupting my files
Yeah I’ve just tried to download mods for the first time but my game won’t launch. I tried to use the Steam Betas function to revert the game back to previous version but it still won’t work
Does anyone know how to recruit giants in the realm of thrones mod update? The village where you used to be able do recruit them is no longer on the map.
After I have done my formations and started battle, how do I then further control my different groups, archers, cavalry etc.
I know I can select the various groups, and then I press F1 for options, then F2 , F3 etc. which is easy enough.
However some options listed dont have a keybind, e.g. line formation (plus others which I cant remember). How do I access these commands. No keybind listed for them.
I am playing mouse and keyboard.
Thanks
Hi, Thanks for yr reply.
I tried that but F2 brings up initially face direction or similar. There are other orders listed underneath, that dont have a F keybind or other keybind, like Hold Fire, Line, Dismount etc.
I will find the instructions and read up on this part, as I must have missed it when reading game instructions/tips etc.
Thanks
In the most recent changelog it seemed like there was a fix for your allied armies of 800+ getting distracted chasing down random 30 troop parties (which they never catch) and never going to besiege the town they are supposed to.
As far as I can tell the fix has not worked.
What has everyone else experience been? Will they ever update the AI in this game?
Furthermore, how can I have 10x the army size, 5x the kills, 20 raids against 0, 31 prisoners against 0 and triple the towns and castles as another faction, and yet they ask ME to pay for peace? What formula is the game using here?!
So many QOL changes needed for this game. I'm hesitant to DL mods if they break every update.
Haven't played like a year and now I feel like horse archer became ~~feces?~~ Like when you chose every possible option for riding and bow in the character creation and then you got into combat it was just like butter, but now it feels clunky and janky, like my bow aim spread is half screen on half speed, the string pull is way too long, were there any major patches regarding this topic?
does anyone know of a way, or mods, that lets you have a stash as a mercenary? im really into the mercenary part of the game but its not feasible without a stash
I don't know of any mods, but creating another party on the clan page will give you some "extra" inventory, although it's not recommended as they'll sell items often.
I'm curious what you need the stash for, I've personally never used it.
i like to dump valuables, crafting mats, trade mats, armor im saving, horses etc etc. im curious that you dont need the stash. i especially like to dump everything before big military campaigns so if i lose i dont lose everything.
Oh, just different playstyles, I guess. Stuff goes into my inventory, then immediately onto my characters, or sold to the merchants. Except horses and trade goods, which I still occasionally clean out when I remember. It's all unliquidated denars to me.
Is there a version that folks can recommend are the best for running mods?
I'm mostly just wanting to play with the Fourberie mod, but it would be nice to get some stuff like De Re Militari and Realistic Battle Mod going as well.
So far I've been playing on 1.2.9 but it's not very stable running Fourberie alone, lots of annoying crashes. And most other mods don't work at all. What's the most stable version for modding?
Hey so I recently started a new campaign and this time I have started with nathanos in my party and have a travel teva quest. Where as my first campaign I started alone, immediately found the piece to start the nerezetes quest and the dragon banner piece creating my clan. Kinda confused what I did to get the two different starts and if there are more?
Your recent campaign sounds like you're playing the tutorial, where the first campaign it sounds like you skipped the tutorial. That's the difference between the two. Other starts would only be in sandbox mode, and it's just that you'll spawn in your chosen culture's home territory.
Even if that command itself isn't working, once you turn cheat mode on if you open inventory, you'll notice all of the game's items on the left. Search through and transfer what you want over.
3 CTDs in one hour seems a bit unlucky, but I can see that happening easily.
About playing ironman, it lets you use one save slot right? Shouldn't be a problem I'd say...
Anyone else getting massive crashes while leading troops in an assault in cities sometimes? I know this is notorious for Amprela but I've gotten it recently in Onira and Myzea as well.
Loved warband, player too many hours of It. Does bannerlord provide the same "make your own experience" style of gaming? I dont know nothing of the game, Will I be disappointed if I go in blind?
Twi big downsides comparing to warband.
1. Companions are not the same each game. Each game you need to see all if them to be sure if their stats. Waste of time
2. Sieges are way way worse. You cant really command your troops, melee just attack no matter what
That's first that comes to my mind
Personally, really enjoying the game so far. Couple hundred hours in.
I find it to be very much a Warband++. I guess some people were expecting more. But I really like the improvements visually and in the mechanics.
That's not to say it's perfect though. I have only really had issues with companions breaking after being captured. But the temporary workaround is easy.
If a garrison is over budget, is there any preference to the type of troops it keeps? For example will it get rid of expensive troops before cheap ones or vice versa?
Dump your good troops in a garrison somewhere and have a party entirely made of chaff, militatia, volunteers, loots etc, than just keep finding enemy parties, let them attack you and than use the flee option that has you loss some troops, you get tactics for that.
How exactly do armies "stealing" sieges work? I vaguely remember reading that if they're already headed towards it, then when they arrive they'll take over command; but recently had a scenario where an army I was in went for the siege, while another army came in late to reinforce, and the pillaging rights went to the reinforcing army?
Pretty sure kingdom rulers hold priority and bigger armies do as well, so if I siege with 600 and 800 join, they can take over, if the king with only 200 shows up, they take over
Hi - I have somewhat of an itch to start a new playthrough to pass the time waiting for upcoming games I have my eye on...
Tempted to run Diplomacy and Realistic Battle (RBM) mods...Do these run well together? Better suited for sandbox or campaign mode?
I'm playing via Steam on PC, so whatever the latest version is...Thanks!!
Is there a Mod that changes how the direction combat works ? (I personally don't like the automatic one and the one where I control it via mouse/keyboard is let's say hard for me ) .
Is there a mod that sort of gets rid of that combat type and makes the "automatic direction " better so it becomes a game more to where you sit, when to block/parry maybe even ? and when to attack ?
Im not sure if there's a mod for attacking but Ill mention this just in case you're not already aware.
There is an in-game setting to auto-block so all you need to do is just press block and the game will automatically block in the right direction for you. It works great and makes playing with a 2hander a lot more fun for me. I usually only need to tap my block as they swing and then I swing back right after. It feels like Im doing a parry and riposte when I time it right.
As far as directional combat, I kinda got used to it and try to mostly use only cutting weapons so I only have overhead and side swings. The thrusting (down) directional throws me off a lot.
Friendly reminder to make a backup save every in-game year and keep it. I was just able to avert a game wrecking infinite battle bug by reloading 100 days and catching it early. 100 days vs 2600 is a no brain-er. On a TOTALLY unrelated note, don't abandon caravan escort missions until you actually see it get destroyed by raiders.
Nope, holding any fiefs makes you no longer able to be a merc, you can keep declaring war on neighbours or taking rebelling cities, but without being a kingdom you lack the ability to form armies with your clan parties
Hello,
I last played the game about a year-ish ago. Back then it seems i enabled the cheat mode, now that i want to play again i can't get achievements with cheat mode enabled but i can't open console to disable it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Sometimes when I turn over command to AI it is super smart. It sends archers up initially, then retreats them behind infantry, and flanks with cav right when the enemy hits my infantry. That works famously. But sometimes they just all charge. Is there a way I can have more control over AI strategy without micromanaging groups? Kind of like how AI lords issue commands to skirmish, flank, etc? New player so maybe these features come with higher skills?
If your army has a significant numerical or unit power advantage, the AI will just charge. I pretty much always F6 and when I see them issue the universal charge command, I know the fight will be over in about 4 minutes lol
How to git gud? And Are relations that important?
Is there any way to find info on weapons, armor equipment? The wiki I tried to look at was so barebones and empty. I just want to know where to buy certain shit and I feel like ripping my hair out trying to fight google searching to show me what im asking for.
Is there a mod that fixes their post 1.7.0 troop sorting method? Please.
Played probably around official release time. Has anything changed since then? I liked the game but I did the dragon quest and thought the dynamic it added when I claimed a nation or whatever sucked. Has that been balanced at all? If not I'll just play a sandbox game. Also, any floris-like mods yet?
No floris like mods, and the troop sorting is bad.
Nice, I'll prob come back when there's an overall big mod like this. Have a kick to play a game like this after the manor lords hype though.
that ain't gonna happen. The troop sorting post 1.6 is awful and you the constant updates are making it hard to mod the game.
What's everyone's favorite mods right now? My current modlist centered around Warlords Battlefiend and Warbandlord is feeling kinda stale.
Im doing a campaign playthrough and currently a vassal for sturgia. I have a huge family and I was wondering if I can do anything with them when they are of age, can I turn them into their own vassal or clan? Do I need to be king before I can do that or is it only possible with companions?
Yes
Please terminate the employee who forced aging option in a sandbox mode
You can turn it off still, can't you?
I found the solution. I had disabled the aging mod, so when I made sandbox game, it would automatically activate its in-built aging option i think, and have it always enabled. When i enabled the mod in the launcher menu, the option appeared in sandbox mode for me to allow to enable or disable aging and birth.
For some reason I’m only able to have one campaign at a time if I have anymore it will delete the other saves is this normal?
Anybody know if there's an up-to-date spreadsheet of companion stats? There was a google doc from over a year ago, but I think there's been a rebalance patch since then that makes it out of date.
Seems like spreadsheet on fandom website is up-to-date
Arigatou
Ah, thanks!!! Didn't realize they had a table
I was doing a mercenary run and decided to take a rebelling city. I own it now, I am not an official kingdom, I just wanted a headquarters kinda thing while working for different kingdoms but it turns out you can't keep being a mercenary if you own land. The option is greyed out. So, my question is that if I go the bandit route and attack a random kingdom, do they attack my city? I thought maybe they won't because I am not a kingdom.
Yes
Is there a mod that after bookmarking a character, an icon is added to the character on the world map? Similar to the quest (!) icon.
When attempting to obtain a spouse is there a cooldown for trying again after a fail? If so how long is it?
Hey there guys, haven't been playing the game since my first play at launch. I remember it being quite monotonous at that time. Has the game changed significantly?
If I recruit militia prisoners, (ie Militia Spearmen, Militia Archers) and put them in the garrison, should they cost wages? I heard "militia don't cost wages", so I've been prioritizing the ones I see to save for garrisons, but for the first time I actually checked and adding milita spearmen to the garrison increased the garrison cost. Should I go back and dump out all these militia units I have in my garrisons currently?
They still cost wages if you put them in the garrison. I think it's the same cost as other t2 units. If it's more, then yeah dump em, but if it's the same they're okay because they can't level up, so they will never increase in cost. But they're only t2 and not very useful as troop replacements.
Was curious if any other mappers / scene editors have set up teleport doors? I'm dabbling with a custom siege map and would love to link two doors that are interactable and teleport you to the other side when activated but not sure how to go about it using scripts.

When we go to siege defense and we are In charge the formations ao there aren't lik 6 groups of 16 guys
I've got an issue/bug where if I join an NPC's army, they refuse to do anything other than patrol. Like they'll be on their way to siege a town, I join, and then they give up and go back to patrolling. But then the moment I leave the army, they siege. Is there some stupid setting I've got to change? Or is there a mod that addresses this?
Is there a reason why Sturgia Heavy Axemen keeps walking back when ordered to "Engage" instead of attacking enemies? I thought it was because of their remaining throwing axes but even after exhausting their entire ammo they still walk back when ordered to Engage.
Yeah I noticed this as well. I believe if a unit inf units with any throwing weapons gets skirmisher behaviour it seems. I haven't had time to check, but is it possible designate a formation during the staging phase. Before battle? If so maybe it could be fixed by designating them to pure melee? If that didn't work I was planning on just using pure melee units for that kind of tactics.
Is there any purpose to having high relations with lords and ladies in other factions? If I was engaged by a larger army led by someone that I have high relations, would they be more willing to let me go?
No, they won't let you go, I think you can barter to be left alone and it might effect the barter price, but they'll still go raid you villages and siege your fiefs so it's pretty useless. Actually I can't remember if you can barter with an army to leave you alone, it might only be individual lords, not sure can't check ATM. If you're a ruler, having high relations with a clan can lower the amount of gold they want to join your faction, but there's several other things effecting it more. If enemy with high relation has an otherwise equal chose of raiding your village or someone with less relations, they should choose the less one. but that doesn't means they won't turn around and raid yours next. Overall, relations is a pretty undeveloped thing in the game.
Is there a limit on the number of clan family members? I'm trying to breed a huge clan at the moment but after about 60 members pregnancies stopped popping up. Some people say they had that problem at 60 as well while others say they don't though their reports seem to be a bit on the older side. And if TW did add such a limit is there a way or mod to remove it?
Yes, but I don't remember what it is. There's a coded max number of clan members though and people have reported their grandchildren stop making children because of it.
Is losing a siege for a castle to kill 600 enemy soldiers worth it? We had 200 troops to their 1,200, and the 1,200 was their main fighting force.
The AI can easily replace it's troops so I'd say no. When left alone they often trash 1/2 their troops taking a castle anyways.
Depends. If you have a way of not getting captured and then coming back with a large army to slaughter them yes. If you are getting captured and dragged around as a prisoner, no.
don't know if this is the best place to post this but been playing the Realm Of Thrones mod, joined the westerlands because they were being hammered from all sides so seemed like it would be a good place to earn a lot of fiefs and i did but now i feel i want to make a kingdom of my own yet i don't seem to be able to. i leave the westerlands but the kingdom tab is just gone, can't click it anymore there's no option to found a kingdom or make peace with them or anything.
Is there a solution to the constant crashes? I am playing on Xbox Series X and the game crashes about every 15 mins. I’m not even doing anything load intensive. I am selling wares in cities or moving around the campaign map and it chrashes EDIT/UPDATE: I found that doing the same tasks repeatedly in a short time does this. I was stocking up on smithing material and going back to the town to smith and the game would crash. I “fixed” the problem by chasing a bandit party for a little bit before going back to smithing. So if you are doing the same task repeatedly it may cause crashing.
Nope. Had this probably before the most recent patch to where the game would crash literally every 10 minutes almost. Eventually just gave up and waited for the update which helped but didn’t fix it entirely. I’d recommend setting your autosave from every 30 min to every 10-15 so you don’t lose 30+ minutes of work like myself.
I'm getting a little crazy. I'm late game and I can't be voted not even once for a fief. I'm conquering them alone, I'm Clan Tier 6 while others clans are 5, 4 and 3 (8 clans under my kingdom), I have more than one million gold, huge army, huge influence, yet my clans have more fiefs than me the king. What am I doing wrong?
You're not doing anything wrong, "the game" stops putting you on the ballot after you have enough fiefs, it also weighs your wealth against you and cares a lot about proximity of owned fiefs. So you give a guy a fief and then the game wants to give him the next fief over. If everyone gets a lot of fiefs you might start showing up on the ballot again but it's annoying. What I do as a ruler is to use companions to make new clans (giving up a fief + 500 influence) until I'm out of fiefs, then I'm 99% on the ballot of the next fief and can take it and then make a new clan and just go on like this and flood the game with new clans. Often getting a hold of new wanderers is the hard part. You don't have a fief but you get so much money form loot... who needs it.
Seems like no 1 comments on theses threads I can't help but do u have any clan or kingdom name suggestions for a character named (none of your fucking business) look for something clever or punny somewhat curse word ish
I need help naming a Kingdom and/or a clan with somewhat punny, inappropriate and clever names. For example, my character name is none of your f****** business. That's the name. I got it from some Reddit user. I don't remember their name. Please help. Need something that is in that realm also cant make post because I've never posted on reddit before I guess
I’ve had two companions I couldn’t assign to scout from the parties page, so I used the trick where you talk them into the assignment while standing in the campaign map. However, when I do this, they don’t gain scouting xp. Are they just dead in the water for scout xp?
Probably, you could double check that they have the points to be able to learn more, but it sounds bugged.
Let me know if this is happening to anyone else, l was defending a siege it was about 350 defending against 1200, and after I killed 350-450 they just surrendered even though they still got like 800-700 in reserves that hadn't spawned yet but instead of pulling back and recovering and building more siege engines they just immediately surrender everything which makes segues less fun and immersion breaking. I remember a couple updates ago. The Al used to do this. You know pull back and recover while building more siege engines but now they just immediately surrender Does anyone know how to fix this?
There's a game setting that ends fights after a certain number of reinforcement waves. Check that that isn't enabled.
Also, is there any way to pick which units go into a formation? For example if I want an infantry formation of only spearmen
Click one of the empty formation on the right, click the icon and choose the sword for infantry, click the + and look for a spear icon, now slide it to match the amount of spearmen you have and visually confirm that you have a group of spearmen.
Are there any mods that allow you to direct vassal armies? Currently the king of Vlandia and we're at war with every border nation. We have four 700-1000 armies walking around but they always make the dumbest decisions. Like sieging a castle on the other side of the map when the enemy is taking one of our home towns. Thanks!
Another question: Which factions are good for not having influence draining policies? Even with over 100 charm both Vlandia and the Khergits have policies which drain influence, usually faster than the action.
I think they just have chance to try for a policy every so often, I don't think the factions are different. It's good to save often and re-load if something outrageously stupid gets proposed.
Is it possible to deselect and not use certain formations in battle? For instance if we're fighting in a forest and I decide I'd rather not use my cavalry and just attack with my archers and infantry
You can order them to retreat, should be 3, f1, f7 IIRC. If you have more troops then can be used the other troops will spawn in after they leave too.
Just move them to a place far from the enemies or tell them to retreat. This solution doesn't work for auto-resolve, obviously.
What is a head of cattle???? For the quest, is it a cow? Or any farm animal?
A cow
So, it seems that all wounded garrison (maybe only if there are no healthy troops?) dies after you ambush the attacking enemies during a siege. Not sure if this also applies to militia. Is this by design or just a bug/oversight by the devs? EDIT: ambushes seem to be just generally broken [https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/siege-appears-to-be-broken.462299/#post-9893108](https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/siege-appears-to-be-broken.462299/#post-9893108)
Did they change ladders in sieges? I remember enemies routed if you destroy their siege engines, but now they run to the ladders the moment I destroy their ram and towers.
I tried joining my first siege, and after the loot is given out and I leave the siege, my game freezes. This happened four times. I tried joining the battle as a fighter and sending my troops in. Freezes either way. My PC is not running hot, my gpu is not struggling. Searched the sub and saw issues from several years ago, but no solutions. Help?
I am running into this problem right now. Currently troubleshooting with a previous save, will update!
I hope you figure it out. I tried a couple more times after verifying my files through steam, but no luck. I gave up on that siege and tried a different one, which worked fine. So, I have no idea what the deal is.
How is my share of loot calculated? Because it doesn't seem to be based on how many warm bodies I bring, or cold ones I leave behind me, I always get ripped off.
If you join a battle that has already been going for a while you get less of the share, because it counts the casualties that happened before you were there in the loot percentage.
Playing on steam deck and I can't figure out how to get my troops in a circle or skein, the first 4 formations have buttons assigned to them but the rest don't and I can't see a way to select them
Just starting out, am I understanding right that the player character grows old and dies? I'm a way, that's cool, but it kind of puts a stressor on how I spend my time that I could do without.
I unticked the enable aging and births. So my characters won’t age.
2 things to help with the stress of that: 1. Your character can get good at medicine, there are two perks that allow clan members and the character to cheat old age death. I've seen several characters live very long lives. 2. A lot can be achieved in the lifetime of your character, but once they do die your play will pass to your heir who you will have been able to grow as they age.
At least you get more than 1 save file and don't have to pay for editing the character
MMO servers when? And how much would you pay to play on one? Oh and I guess do they exist already?
why is this the only game thats a 4hr routine to get mods to work after a long break
Why won't this guy offer any of his children for marriage? He has 3 children that are 18 or older. I have multiple unmarried people in my clan 18 or over. I checked and none of his children are in armies or parties or anything like that. When I talk to him, there is no option to propose a marriage. Are there other conditions that prevent a marriage proposal? https://preview.redd.it/v5jr1lmvl4pc1.png?width=1482&format=png&auto=webp&s=a5c72044c414d1e3b79e3978da22d35b36a780c1
make sure neither of you are in an army. if either fo you are in an army then marriage options dont show. also i am not sure but i think you need to talk to clan leaders
Searched the forums and subs for solution to this problem, can't find it anywhere. My army refuses to use multiple pieces of siege equipment at once. I have a battering ram and two towers, but all the infantry is obsessed with mobbing up at the ram and dying immediately to catapult fire. If I don't auto-delegate and rather do the suggested "deploy a unit at siege equipment when marker turns into blue gears" they just stand at the towers doing watching the ram die. UPDATE: Updating here in the off chance that it helps someone in the future. This bug randomly appears for various cities. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. Not sure why. What happens is that it wants to use the siege equipment sequentially instead of simultaneously. So even if you only have a single tower, it will move the tower to the walls and then run elsewhere to erect ladders.
They added cheats for consoles, which is the best; however, there is a problem. I must press x on my controller more than 1000 times to get millions of denars. Why can't they allow us to change the amount we want, such as a billion dinars? I have another idea! They should add a feature where you can customize your soldiers to represent your kingdom and have tiers. For example, the Khuizats have mounted horse archers as their special unit. Another great idea would be to add a feature where you can choose your child's gender. Or customize the banners or flags of the clans in your kingdom. A feature that allows you to rename a castle or town you own. a feature that gives you the option to customize your horse.
Btw if you don't know (you probably do) if you get a shit ton of influence and become a mercenary that influence will turn into big money
Okay so I'm not a native english speaker and I just learned that "X is with child" to mean pregnant is an actual english expression and not just a mistake by the devs
Idioms, the bane of any new language!
the only mods i have been am able to run successfully are Harmony, Butterlib, UIExtenderEx and Mod configuration menu v5 which basically means i can only play the vanilla game even with verifying game files and deleting bannerlord from my documents dir. Is it just me or is does this game have 0 mod support?
What version are you using and what mods? Also mods mostly only work in sandbox game mode.
Long time Warband player here. I have an old laptop, and curious if I can run Bannerlord. I have i5 11th gen, 20gb RAM, MX350 GPU. Should I get this game? I don't mind playing low army count, and in a lower graphics (for as long as it's still looks better than Warband).
Your laptop is better than the minimum specs, but the GPU is holding you back for the recommended specs. If you want to know if you can risk it, maybe get Xbox PC Game pass for 10 bucks, test it out, and if it doesnt work ask for a refund?
Anyone know if it's possible to run mods with the xbox game pass version on GeForce NOW?
Same question
how to prevemt my companions from donating troops to every castle that we captured?
Before the siege battle you can talk to them and examine their troops and slide all their troops into yours, launch the attack, then after you win put what you want in the garrison, then talk to them and give back the troops BEFORE you move on the map. It's tedious and if you enter the fief again they will put guys in there, but it's a workaround.
There is a mod that adds extra party controls and an option is to prevent donating to garrison.
whats mod is it?
I'll log in and check in a couple of mins, can't think of it off the top of my head
sure take your time
Sorry In-laws arrived, I just checked I think it's "Party AI Controls"
# Bannerlord console commands not showing ingame PC. I have the game on epic games and have enabled cheat mode on the file document but when i am playing the game and pressed alt + \` \~ it wont show up. I have tried to verify the files and i've never used or installed mods in the game and have always been playing it vanilla. Also tried to reinstall the game but still no fix. I am also on the latest version of the game, V 1.2.9.34269. Most of its cheats are working like the inventory all weapons, outfit, horses etc in the game can be seen and available, also teleport in the campaign map is working. It's just the command console is not. I need HELPPP PLEASEE!!!
I feel like all I do is complain anymore. This spouse negative xp is killing me. Usually with the kids you just reload and it’s fixed but not here.
Does anyone have a stable 1.29 mod list they can share?
Hey guys, i stopped to play Bannerlord on the 1.1.2 (or 1.1.1) release because it broke my mods and i couldn't launch a game anymore. (oh and also there was this bug that put random people you're talking to/people you save to -100 relation... I didn't want it to break my game) I want to play a bit more now, but my game is stuck on the 1.1.1 version on steam. I think I tried to rewind my game back to the version it worked, but it didn't work and still couldn't launch.. So... Can i come back ? Do mods work again with newer versions? And how to update the game? It's in 'always update" mode, i'm checking the integrity of the files right now, but steam doesn't want to update it. I don't remember how i did it. Finally what version should i aim for if i want mods to work? 1.2.7 looks good?
> Finally what version should i aim for if i want mods to work? 1.2.7 looks good? I asked this same question a few months ago and received no answer. I've been able to get Fourberie running on 1.2.8 but I gave up on trying to get anything else to work. And it still seems kinda buggy.
You should be able to end the battle during a siege without having to surrender all your troops if it gets to a certain point. I’m dead and can’t command and the enemy with 9 troops left is just sitting at a trebuchet while me having 73 guys left just sit there. All that progress about to be lost smh. Stupid. Edit:and this isn’t the first time it’s happened last time someone glitched into the wall and I couldn’t do anything about it.
If I pledged the dragon banner to Sturgia and left the clan, is there a way to rejoin and complete the quest if i find a way to kill the leader and become king?
Did the game update and fuck all my mods ? I don't know what happened, today I started playing like any other day, but weirdly, my mods were all unloaded, so I loaded them all and started my save, but it just crashes whenever I try to load anything I can't even start a new campaign anymore with the exact mods that I played with yesterday The hell ?
Is there a way to remove all cav from the game. I would really love to play with inf and archers only and cavs are a bit pain in the *** So does anyone know a way to do that?
What’s the deal with 2 handed maces? Or maces in general? But specifically 2 hand is the blunt damage deceptive? Also why don’t they add war hammer heads or something? I want to make a hammer like I’m Robert boratheon.
blunt damage ignores all armour if that's what you mean by "deceptive" also a lot of 2h maces have the crush through option, having a chance of dealing part of their damage through blocks
Companions reassigning to roles is broken. Cannot assign them to party roles or fief governing roles without messing around constantly with bringing them into parties/leaving them in setttlements. Troop AI is bugged in seiges where they don't use engines even when trying to direct them to use them. Anyone else have these issues?
Having the bug with reassigning them party roles. Companion will be in the party and I can’t assign at all
i think this is happening when you use the option to recall companion to party. when you pick them up manually i think it works fine. Work around is to talk to them through the party screen and assign them manually to the role. it may still show black on the clan-party screen but they are in the role you select family it works either way
Hi, Anyone else on series X having their game just crash constantly? I can't load a battle with 1k plus troops at any time which is annoying. I run the game with waves unlimited only because if I put it on any other option I normally only end up with 60-100 troops but the enemy can spawn 400+. I recently had 100vs 700 because off the waves.

It crashes on the game booting up every time, it gets to the art of the guys in the snow and the running horse in the bottom right and then shows this https://preview.redd.it/4me0c5f6k1jc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad07907bf84831483d337b2cbf326d3cd48f18d6 Can anyone help?
What is better to upgrade to increase party size (long term goal): leadership or stewardship?
ideally, both. if you arent choosing intelligence to max out points and level 10 attribute (for medicine and steward) for your MC then use family members or companions for steward/medicine. Leadership always for MC tho
Ok great. What’s MC?
Main character i think
MS
What is the best way to go about governing settlements?
Is there a mod that helps make fief distribution make sense? I'm the king, I should get to say who gets what fief. But right now as king I never even get to assign a fief to myself lol.
Is there a way to change my campaign avatars height? My man is so tall that if I swing my sword, half the time, it doesn't connect. I am not using mods.
Is there a mod that allows you to pick which troop goes where? (i.e. Line breaker only in group1, Legionaires in group 2)
Ive had some conflicting information on wheather tactics works as a skill (and its perks) for your party leaders. Obviously steward and medicine are extremely important for family members (or campanions) you plan on leading parties. But if tactics actually works for their auto-resolved battles, that would make cunning (with both scouting & tactics pushed high) probably more valuable than leveling social for leadership.
Need assistance. Literally bought the game a few hours ago for the first time, every time I start it, it just crashes. I have tried every trouble shooting in the book. Run as admin, install all dependencies, install to a new drive, delete every folder of the game and reinstall, restart computer, run it straight from the install folder, run the native.exe, literally EVERYTHING and it just crashes and crashes. Any help is appreciated.
Newer player here. Any feedback on how to make the AI suck less ass at losing towns and castles I have to keep sieging to retake? I'm at the point in the campaign where the remaining non-Imperial factions are constantly at war with me (Southern Empire). I'm working through Aserai lands but I have to keep re-sieging the same fucking towns because the AI can't keep them. It's getting tedious and frustrating. Anything I can do to make this part easier? I donate extra troops to the garrison and I think the AI just discards them. What am I missing?
When I got stuck on this my first play through I used this strategy. Alternate using mostly other lords for war and your own companions as the base/bulk of an army. Ideally when one group isn’t in your army they will be raising troops on their own. Once you successfully siege, heal, reload and have identified a new target discharge everyone in your army. Head to the new target and in your way there call up the new, full armies. This will always give you an influence drain break. The discharged armies will remain in the area of the conquered again ideally recruiting and cleaning up/defending but often being captured so proceed with caution. But in any war there is risks and rewards. You’ll often have to rush across the map many times pointlessly I might add. You have to decide if the squeeze is worth the juice to advance or retreat.
Not a sure thing, but one thing I do to help defense is companion armies. Create a new party with a companion, give them high tier troops (they don't upgrade troops on their own), call them to an army (no influence cost for companion parties), walk to where you want them to defend, release them from your army, and set them to defensive (its in the party tab on your clan screen). They'll wander a bit, but with a strong army they should do some good in a newly conquered region. Side note, as soon as I can afford it, I create a companion party and then always have them in an army with me if I don't need them elsewhere. It's great leadership skill training for the main character, and good skill training for your companion.
Hi, after uploading to 1.2.8 all mods and the game won’t work anymore, someone told me that my problem was cause of reshadea I downloaded, I deleted them but still won’t work. Even reinstaling the game won’t work, something is corrupting my files
Yeah I’ve just tried to download mods for the first time but my game won’t launch. I tried to use the Steam Betas function to revert the game back to previous version but it still won’t work
Does anyone know how to recruit giants in the realm of thrones mod update? The village where you used to be able do recruit them is no longer on the map.
does anyone know the faction ID for the southern empire?
After I have done my formations and started battle, how do I then further control my different groups, archers, cavalry etc. I know I can select the various groups, and then I press F1 for options, then F2 , F3 etc. which is easy enough. However some options listed dont have a keybind, e.g. line formation (plus others which I cant remember). How do I access these commands. No keybind listed for them. I am playing mouse and keyboard. Thanks
Press F2 first instead of F1 and you will get the options for formations.
Hi, Thanks for yr reply. I tried that but F2 brings up initially face direction or similar. There are other orders listed underneath, that dont have a F keybind or other keybind, like Hold Fire, Line, Dismount etc. I will find the instructions and read up on this part, as I must have missed it when reading game instructions/tips etc. Thanks
are you using a really old pirated version of the game? get a new one
No, lol, bought and paid for via EPIC.
In the most recent changelog it seemed like there was a fix for your allied armies of 800+ getting distracted chasing down random 30 troop parties (which they never catch) and never going to besiege the town they are supposed to. As far as I can tell the fix has not worked. What has everyone else experience been? Will they ever update the AI in this game? Furthermore, how can I have 10x the army size, 5x the kills, 20 raids against 0, 31 prisoners against 0 and triple the towns and castles as another faction, and yet they ask ME to pay for peace? What formula is the game using here?! So many QOL changes needed for this game. I'm hesitant to DL mods if they break every update.
Haven't played like a year and now I feel like horse archer became ~~feces?~~ Like when you chose every possible option for riding and bow in the character creation and then you got into combat it was just like butter, but now it feels clunky and janky, like my bow aim spread is half screen on half speed, the string pull is way too long, were there any major patches regarding this topic?
does anyone know of a way, or mods, that lets you have a stash as a mercenary? im really into the mercenary part of the game but its not feasible without a stash
I don't know of any mods, but creating another party on the clan page will give you some "extra" inventory, although it's not recommended as they'll sell items often. I'm curious what you need the stash for, I've personally never used it.
i like to dump valuables, crafting mats, trade mats, armor im saving, horses etc etc. im curious that you dont need the stash. i especially like to dump everything before big military campaigns so if i lose i dont lose everything.
Oh, just different playstyles, I guess. Stuff goes into my inventory, then immediately onto my characters, or sold to the merchants. Except horses and trade goods, which I still occasionally clean out when I remember. It's all unliquidated denars to me.
Is there a version that folks can recommend are the best for running mods? I'm mostly just wanting to play with the Fourberie mod, but it would be nice to get some stuff like De Re Militari and Realistic Battle Mod going as well. So far I've been playing on 1.2.9 but it's not very stable running Fourberie alone, lots of annoying crashes. And most other mods don't work at all. What's the most stable version for modding?
Hey so I recently started a new campaign and this time I have started with nathanos in my party and have a travel teva quest. Where as my first campaign I started alone, immediately found the piece to start the nerezetes quest and the dragon banner piece creating my clan. Kinda confused what I did to get the two different starts and if there are more?
Your recent campaign sounds like you're playing the tutorial, where the first campaign it sounds like you skipped the tutorial. That's the difference between the two. Other starts would only be in sandbox mode, and it's just that you'll spawn in your chosen culture's home territory.
Lol I figured the original question out that day. but good to know for sandbox as I haven't started anything in that yet!
Is the `campaign.add_item_to_main_party` command not working for anyone else? Trying to add some items and it keeps saying Item is not found.
Even if that command itself isn't working, once you turn cheat mode on if you open inventory, you'll notice all of the game's items on the left. Search through and transfer what you want over.
Is it even worth to play on ironman, started this morning and for hour play had three CTD's...
3 CTDs in one hour seems a bit unlucky, but I can see that happening easily. About playing ironman, it lets you use one save slot right? Shouldn't be a problem I'd say...
Started a new clean game after patch , enter first town CTD...
I keep seeing this. I've been playing for a couple hundred hours now I think. I have only had 1 CTD. I'm either lucky or people are unlucky.
Anyone else getting massive crashes while leading troops in an assault in cities sometimes? I know this is notorious for Amprela but I've gotten it recently in Onira and Myzea as well.
Yeah, the more they patch the more game crash...
They released a patch yesterday, didn't it fix at least some of the bugs, or does it crash the same as before?
Loved warband, player too many hours of It. Does bannerlord provide the same "make your own experience" style of gaming? I dont know nothing of the game, Will I be disappointed if I go in blind?
Twi big downsides comparing to warband. 1. Companions are not the same each game. Each game you need to see all if them to be sure if their stats. Waste of time 2. Sieges are way way worse. You cant really command your troops, melee just attack no matter what That's first that comes to my mind
Personally, really enjoying the game so far. Couple hundred hours in. I find it to be very much a Warband++. I guess some people were expecting more. But I really like the improvements visually and in the mechanics. That's not to say it's perfect though. I have only really had issues with companions breaking after being captured. But the temporary workaround is easy.
Meh, I don't remember a lot about Warband, but on Bannerlord you can still choose to be a mercenary, a vassal or just start your own kingdom
If a garrison is over budget, is there any preference to the type of troops it keeps? For example will it get rid of expensive troops before cheap ones or vice versa?
What’s the fastest way to level tactics? Looking to make auto resolve battles the main part of gameplay, but it’s cripplingly slow to level
Dump your good troops in a garrison somewhere and have a party entirely made of chaff, militatia, volunteers, loots etc, than just keep finding enemy parties, let them attack you and than use the flee option that has you loss some troops, you get tactics for that.
Wich mods Hello bannerlordians i just starter playing bannerlord again and was wondering wich mods i Should pick for my first real long campain?
How exactly do armies "stealing" sieges work? I vaguely remember reading that if they're already headed towards it, then when they arrive they'll take over command; but recently had a scenario where an army I was in went for the siege, while another army came in late to reinforce, and the pillaging rights went to the reinforcing army?
Pretty sure kingdom rulers hold priority and bigger armies do as well, so if I siege with 600 and 800 join, they can take over, if the king with only 200 shows up, they take over
Hi - I have somewhat of an itch to start a new playthrough to pass the time waiting for upcoming games I have my eye on... Tempted to run Diplomacy and Realistic Battle (RBM) mods...Do these run well together? Better suited for sandbox or campaign mode? I'm playing via Steam on PC, so whatever the latest version is...Thanks!!
Is there a Mod that changes how the direction combat works ? (I personally don't like the automatic one and the one where I control it via mouse/keyboard is let's say hard for me ) . Is there a mod that sort of gets rid of that combat type and makes the "automatic direction " better so it becomes a game more to where you sit, when to block/parry maybe even ? and when to attack ?
Im not sure if there's a mod for attacking but Ill mention this just in case you're not already aware. There is an in-game setting to auto-block so all you need to do is just press block and the game will automatically block in the right direction for you. It works great and makes playing with a 2hander a lot more fun for me. I usually only need to tap my block as they swing and then I swing back right after. It feels like Im doing a parry and riposte when I time it right. As far as directional combat, I kinda got used to it and try to mostly use only cutting weapons so I only have overhead and side swings. The thrusting (down) directional throws me off a lot.
When a fief is losing food due to "Issues in bound villages", is it referring to the tasks you are able to pick up from the villagers?
Yes.
Friendly reminder to make a backup save every in-game year and keep it. I was just able to avert a game wrecking infinite battle bug by reloading 100 days and catching it early. 100 days vs 2600 is a no brain-er. On a TOTALLY unrelated note, don't abandon caravan escort missions until you actually see it get destroyed by raiders.
I refuse Fuck it we ball.
How rare is it to get twin boys? I get boy/girl and girl/girl but never twin boys.
Idk but literally the first birth in my campaign my brothers wife had twin boys
If you are an independent clan that holds a city (not a kingdom) can you still become a mercenary for a kingdom?
Nope, holding any fiefs makes you no longer able to be a merc, you can keep declaring war on neighbours or taking rebelling cities, but without being a kingdom you lack the ability to form armies with your clan parties
Hello, I last played the game about a year-ish ago. Back then it seems i enabled the cheat mode, now that i want to play again i can't get achievements with cheat mode enabled but i can't open console to disable it. Can anyone help? Thanks!
Sometimes when I turn over command to AI it is super smart. It sends archers up initially, then retreats them behind infantry, and flanks with cav right when the enemy hits my infantry. That works famously. But sometimes they just all charge. Is there a way I can have more control over AI strategy without micromanaging groups? Kind of like how AI lords issue commands to skirmish, flank, etc? New player so maybe these features come with higher skills?
You can turn over command to a specific unit or units. I generally leave my horse archers on ai command and my archers, but micro my cavalry
If your army has a significant numerical or unit power advantage, the AI will just charge. I pretty much always F6 and when I see them issue the universal charge command, I know the fight will be over in about 4 minutes lol
Have the devs fixed the PS5 save corruption issue?
What’s some of the best map extended mods? I’d love to play with a bigger map after so many campaigns on the base it’s starting to get boring.
Does raiding villages/attacking caravans still level roguery even if you are at war with the faction ou are raiding/attacking?
