>it's november 2017 >bannerlord is great fun, but after playing it nonstop for almost a year now, you're getting a bit burned out on the game >taleworlds twitter: tomorrow we have a big announcement to make >you're excited af >you go to sleep, barely able to contain your excitment and able to sleep >you wake up >go to taleworlds.com >''New expansion announcement: Mount&Blade II: Bannerlord, Ancestral Homelands'' >''In this new expansion, the overworld map is expanded even further towards all directions, revealing the ancestral homelands of some, and new opportunities for others''. >''Over the western ocean lies another continent unknown to the native Calradians, from which the Vlandian people claim descent. Long ago, back in their ancestral lands the Vlandians distant brothers fractured into numerous smaller kingdoms, tired of the constant bloodshed that followed, a segment of the Vlandian people decided to flee their homes, sail over the ocean and settle in the newly discovered Calradia, little did they know that they escaped one war right into another.'' >''To the far north the Sturgians led harsh lives. Every day was a struggle for survival as they were pitted against the merciless forces of nature and constant fighting over the precious few natural resources with their bitter enemies, the Nords. As their situation darkened, the Sturgian king decided to mobilize the entire Sturgian people for a great migration south towards Calradia for milder climates and fertile lands. Now, in the ruins of the Sturgian peoples former villages and towns, the Nord raiders have settled in and threaten to follow in the footsteps of the Sturgians, and launch a brutal invasion of Calradia, should they ever cease with their constant infighting amongst eachother and with the remaining Sturgians.''

>''The endless steppes of the east were the lands formerly roamed by the Khuzaits. But one fateful day, a colossal army of bloodthirsty savages calling themselves ''The Golden Horde'', arrived from the far east and forced the Khuzaits out of their steppes, pushing them west towards Calradia. The Golden Horde swallowed everything in its path, assimilating everything it touched into its gigantic moving nation. The Khuzaits, fervent in their wish to remain a distinct people, are now stuck on one side between Calradia that perceives them as the Khuzaits perceive the Golden Horde, and the Golden Horde itself on the other.'' >''South of the marble cities of the Aserai, lies endless oceans of sand but also the occasional congregation of life around the few oases that dot the landscape. A growing city-state ruled by the noble House of Saran is growing in power, and seeks to subjugate the surrounding smaller trading towns but also to curb the large warbands of roaming bandits. This increase in activity south of their lands, the Aserai grow concerned as they're already preoccupied with affairs in Calradia to the north. But with chaos comes opportunity, and many an adventurer has recently made their way south of the Aserai cities to seek their luck.''

Rhodoks best faction. Khergits a shit.

Zachary Diaz
playing floris, these new troop trees are a tad confusing and i cant tell the difference between some of these guys from their names and appearance alone
also artimenner claims that the rhodoks have "the only pass out of calradia" and that really doesnt seem to be the case. the only way out of the map the rhodoks seem to have from their starting position would be on a ship
Lucas Baker
Artimenner's dialogue is just a leftover from the original Mount & Blade, which had a different map.
Jackson Walker
the floris expanded troop trees are pretty redundant
Gavin Butler
most Veeky Forums mod that will never be finished
William Ramirez
shader looks shitty on steel objects and the scabbards aren't vertex animated 0/10 docm
is there a way to switch down to reworked or native, or is that only at game start
Bentley Hall
Have you tried that Dynasty Warriors one? I hear it's not so bad.
Henry Kelly

Anthony Butler
they should probably just call free dlc "updates", and keep dlc as the term for paid content
Grayson Russell
I think most people are used to big updates being called "DLC" now. It is supposed to mean "downloadable content", after all.
At least they don't use "Free-LC" like Total War does.
Cameron Anderson
I just want a decent 1700s-era mod

is story mode in VC fun? it looks fun but ive never done it
Levi Wilson
if it looks fun to you, you should try it
William Clark
is this from some mod or something
Ian Williams
It's boring shit.
Adam Howard
Oh c'mon anons moddded VC user, I expected more than a fucking knobbed mace from ''Frankish mace'' worth 11k peningas described as ''a symbol of wealth'', like one of those one handed maces we see in Anno 1257 with quite a bit of damage and perhaps even crush through blocks. Not this unbalanced shit with low damage and shit stats all around.
Easton Allen
not checked this general since March, did Warsword release yet?
Nicholas Long
nevermind just checked the mod page
>My estimate is that we are still a couple of weeks away from release although we cannot say for sure until the all the model work is finished and we have done a bit more testing.
jesus christ please

Having everyone be cavalry is a much easier won fight though
Blake Cooper
>Having everyone be cavalry is a much easier won fight though
That's what I always thought. Then I watched that mostly-Nord force get facefucked by a tidal wave of bolts. Legit less effort than a cavalry force.
Daniel Allen
fighting nords in the field isnt really a good test of either archers or cavalry
Jose Cooper
It's called DLC so they can sneak the prostitutes past various video game rating boards without getting an immediate 18+ R mature naughty you are a bad person rating
Jeremiah Gomez
Looks like they listened to the people whining on the Steam forums, too, since they added an option to remove the nudity.
Lucas Wilson
>fighting the best infantry in the game isn't a good test of crossbows vs. infantry
whatever bru
Luis Hill
Cavalry is guaranteed to fuck infantry in the ass, good charges and tactics just keep the casualties in check, but if the infantry actually reaches your crossbowmen, you might lose the battle. Vanilla archers and crossbowmen are OP anyways.
Jordan Ward
nords are bads
Christopher Allen
What's the worst general on Veeky Forums?
Adam Morris
well i havent been in them all, so i cant say. i was in war thunder general for a while and it was pretty bad. i bet the ones for games that receive no updates or mods like fnaf or undertale are pretty bad too but perhaps it is rude of me to judge.

I went after the daughter of the lord whom I had the highest rating with, that was Count Haringoth. My rating with him is 22 430 is my renown and I have 0 controversy Is that enough?
Also, can I earn the title of Count? or is it only Lord and King?

JESUS CHRIST what a COMPLETE mess sea battles and sea sieges are in VC, STILL after all this time.
They get stuck on the boats, or they manage to get off, they all clump together at the side of the docks and just stay put there.
What the fuck is this shit?

David Phillips
I'm using nippon adventures and I like it a lot but there's a problem. I cannot upgrade my officers to hatamoto guards, the factions being Hojo and Takeda. Both of those factions have been eliminated in my game, is that the case? And how do I re-enable them? Also when I send my companions on a mission to recruit lords, after coming back to me they do not display a name of the lord I sent the request for, it's only a blank. Help!
Daniel Bennett
If you can get past "You stumble and fall" and the Retard Events it's not too bad.

Should I support Arwa the Pearled One, or continue solo? Is it interesting to support a claimant?
Bentley Nguyen
I've never supported a claimant myself
I always aim to conquer the world myself, and what's the point of doing it twice
Joshua Sanchez
thanks
Christopher Cook
it's ok as it saves you the hassle of dealing with all your faggot lords being unhappy all the time, giving fiefs, juggling marshallship and so on. So it's a more convinient way to go through the game while still having a significant influence, but not all the glory will be yours
Joshua Clark
Every time

Yeah but, that's kinda shit.

Pretty sure hojo and Takeda don't get hatamoto guards
Alexander Perez
not at all especially in a mod that has hardly any blunt weapons
Tyler Gray
What the fuck are Taleworlds doing?
They've been working on Bannerlord for 4 years, yet all they have to show for it are a bunch of poorly put together 'blogs', and a 30 minute gameplay video.
No release date, no real info, no nothing. It really grills my kebab.
Nathaniel Hall
We got a real shitty community manager.
Liam Richardson
It can't be his fault entirely, I mean surely he just implements the general company PR policy, or merely influences it at best.
