You have some problems with your face, you should go see a doctor. I was simply offering advice. Also inverse mouse movement works better, the downside is manual blocking doesn't have a similar option so it can make blocking more difficult if you're used to inverse mouse movement. Hope that clarifies, but I'm not sure you can read this post since you have problems with your head.
is baiting troops while on your horse cheating? specially on the early game it feels pretty silly to be able to beat 20 looters just by running around with a crossbow

Bannerlord will not be playable on your system. Not if you want more than 150 AI on your screen. Here's why:
Lets assume for just 1 AI, 500 calculations are done the processor in real time, per second. Now multiply that by 1000 for 500v500 battles. That's 500,000 calculations per second. This is a conservative estimate, too. It could potentially go into the millions.
NOW take into account that the game will be CPU dependant on more than just AI, so like with Warband your GPU wont really matter, which adds even more burden to your CPU as it now has to also calculate wind physics, cloth physics, particle effects, script effects, contextual animations (PER FUCKING INDIVIDUAL NPC) and you effectively quaddruple the load on your CPU,AND I'M STILL NOT TAKING EVERYTHING INTO ACCOUNT.
Bannerlord will not feasibly be playable on the majority of systems in this community -- unless you're some faggy let's-player with a youtube money PC. You'd all better start saving up for one hell of a good PC.
Bannerlord will be a disaster on release. It'll be plagued by bugs because of gsanders-syndrome and feature creep, and performance will be abysmal for an overwhelming majority of players.
Ignore me if you want, but just know; I'll be in the background, laughing at you all, when what I've said comes true.

I just can't seem to chamber left or right, can never get the timing right. I'm starting to think the only way to actually git gud is to have a friend to practice your motor skills, because my brain says "chamber left" and my right hand says "uh, ok I'll try" and has a 30% success rate. I feel like if I had someone to repeatedly practice the left chamber, and then the right and so forth I could do it, but just randomly against the AI I'm not getting anywhere with this it's too unforgiving and I'm tearing my hear out after the 50th time of having to get through the menus again after a failed attempt. That's the secret right, you all had friends to help practice this? Either that or my brain is lame.
Kayden Lewis
hmm, after fiddling around it seems I was practicing inefficiently at normal damage when I could have been practicing at easiest damage and getting a lot more chamber attempts each round before dying. I suppose this could work, we'll see. tfw no frands
Grayson Garcia
I just can't seem to block at all.
Brainybots kick my ass 7 out of 10 times unless I spam attacks and backpedal like crazy, even with the recommended settings.
Liam Taylor
use the warband tutorial, the guys who you can practice fighting on, do chambering on them it's still different for MP
Robert Scott
we just gotta keep practicing bro. I've also noticed that the AI seems to be able to attack after hitting your shield with their weapon very quickly, faster sometimes even than you can swing after blocking which is weird, idk why the AI just seems quicker, maybe because of how they just have to make a decision and it always does that decision whereas a human hand is fallible and often doesn't do exactly what your brain wants it to. I've been doing arena runs with a two-handed sword practicing my chambering against multiple opponents because really, the main benefit of chambering is being able to survive circumstances against multiple opponents that otherwise would spell 100% death rates. Like when 2 or 3 enemy come at you and the AI scripts it's attacks to happen all from different directions at the same time literally the only way to come out on top is to chamber the first blow and hope you can dodge the second blow while you're killing the first guy, and then hopefully get a second chamber right the next guy comes in, I see guys do this two-handed sword technique on youtube where they continuously chamber a crowd of peasants and scythe through them. Practice makes perfect I guess but I fear I'll always just be a meddling swordsman.

Having only played vanilla (and just became ruler of a single castle before realising the king hates me) and dabbled in 1257 should I jump straight into PoP? Which is the best faction/followers for a beginner?
Chase Reed
call me crazy if I'm wrong, but are 1257 AI better than vanilla AI? They seem to be a lot more difficult sparring with than I remember.
Ryder Gray
>the main benefit of chambering is being able to survive circumstances against multiple opponents that otherwise would spell 100% death rates the main benefit of chambering is being able to both block and attack simultaneously, if you can't do it consistently to start with then it's kind of a dumb place to start
David Harris
true, but what's the primary benefit of being able to block and attack simultaneously? When you're forced to be blocking pretty much at all times but you still need to get an attack in.

>20 naked men with sticks can't pin down a horse archer This is fairly acceptable historically
Henry Rogers
or to kill your opponent easier, not many people can consistently chamber in MP so if you can it really fucks people
Jace Murphy
alright I suppose I'll practice both. I miss being able to practice in training fields in vanilla, that way I could at least be getting experience for my guy as I'm practicing, but you're right it's clearly best to practice with a novice fighter in tutorial with the lowest damage settings
Kayden Miller
you don't need to change damage in the tutorial since you can't get incapacitated
Christian Taylor
From my personal experience, the 1257 AI seems a little more intelligent than vanilla; perfect example: >enemy stack is mid-map engaged in melee with my infantry as my cavalry charge in under cover of archers >half the original enemy stack has been wiped out >enemy begins to withdraw >seeing that my infantry & cavalry are a little thin, I recall them to my archers' hilltop >watching the map now from a safe distance as my troops move around >see enemy troops from that mid-map stack turning to attack my withdrawing infantry >see enemy reinforcements arrive >watch entire mid-map enemy stack conduct actual fighting withdrawl to link up with newly arrived second stack, who are hurriedly heading towards harried mid-map stack >run quick & dirty math in my head >looks like smaller enemy stack is actually trying to bait my cavalry into charging them before they can link up with their approaching reinficements >this would have resulted in my cavalry outpacing my infantry and making unsupported & unscreened contact with a half-strength enemy infantry formation as it links up with reinforcements >it takes about a second to decide not to send them >recall formation >newly huge stack backs out of my archers' bow-range >huh >advance everyone ten paces >bowmen continue their fussilade >enemy hueg stack charges >there are a lot of them >i can see them now coming through the trees >their bodies keep dropping according the cyan status reports >oh, they are in javelin range >race out to clip the closest foes and get them to follow me away from my archers >about half of them do >the other half ignore me and wade forward into melee >order cavalry charge >order infantry charge >order everyone charge >bloody melee >we still emerge victorious >surgery skill saved my forces

It's a video game user, you are supposed to have fun!
I know Good Natured is the best personality now s there a best nation to poach them from? Should I give all my castles to a Rhodok lords? There are a bunch of GN Khergit lords If I poach them just give them a single village and call it a day? Grab Swadians first if possible or Nord lords?
John Russell
I find it funny how everyone seems to misjudge the range and speed of spears. Easiest weapons to get kills with for me.

What you really need to be doing is securing butter supplies, befriending every lord who happens to have butter. Then you will be butterlord, king of all pastries and protector of the taste buds, and butter prices will skyrocket from the monopoly and nobles will castrate themselves before you for a mere taste of your glorious butter.
Xavier King
Fair point. But supposing I have a choice of equally buttered GN types from each faction is there a "First among equals"?
Luis Hughes
What kingdom your lords are originally from is somewhat irrelevant; the main thing that matters is what their relationships with your other lords are. Ideally you want to have lords that like eachother near eachother, that will allow your lords to cooperate more and you can leave them to their own devices much more often as they will support eachother in attack and defense. Whlie you have to be open to targets of opportunity, you do want to restrain your expansion and consider how the local region can be best administered by the lords you have, and with considerations of what lords you want to recruit later. Obviously lords from the same original factions may more likely have good relations with eachother, but it isn't always the case either.
the best thing to do is let lords defect to you and never talk to you which effectively takes them out of the game also don't assign fiefs you conquer since they auto generate troops i haven't seen a mod fix either of these things and they break the shit out of the game if you make your own faction
Owen Bailey
Is there a way to raise relations with your vassals aside from giving them fiefs?
Thomas Cox
Isn't it also good to have lords that are somehow related?
Evan Walker
How do you find out if Lords like or dislike each other? Might end up doing what suggested.
Jacob Lopez
In Native, host feasts and make sure to talk to your lords. Also standard saving their asses in battle, etc. Also if you grant fiefs to their friends and family they get a minor bonus (although granting fiefs to their rivals can hurt their relationship with you). With Diplomacy based features, the best way is to have your kingdom's social policies benefit the lords; decentralized authority is the main one, over time all your lords gain relationship with you. Yeah, that is a big factor in their relations with eachother. Although not always, especially between cousins or uncle/nephews, there can be harsh rivalries there. If you're using Native it's extremely hard to do, unless you've talked with them and made notes (manually by hand on paper) to keep track of that shit. Also how they respond when you do things to other lords, if they don't like a lord they will dislike when you grant them fiefs, etc. With Diplomacy you can look most of that information up in the Notes pages or Lord Relations menu.
Regarding end-game Kingdom management, you should just use Diplomacy, Native endgame is a slog and you're better off just consolidating for yourself and disregarding the lords; it's too hard to get the information to probably manage them in ways their AI allows.
