Any possibility of restoring the vanilla subjugate defeated faction and restore faction whose capital is liberated as ally options? And maybe up the AI chance to accept subjugation in peace requests when theyre completely screwed otherwise? And maybe converting pretender factions to the actual faction once the actual faction is nuked with vassals and stuff intact like in vanilla (at least player?) civil wars? And as a bonus, the ability to raise pretender faction allies that act like regular pretenders but spawned by you? Aaand maybe increasing penalties for taking new regions as your own making vassals/puppets more beneficial?

Reason being in the current build you sort of have to commit cultural genocide to win whereas in medieval history it would make more sense for england to maybe force the danes into trading and vassalage and helping french pretenders take the throne as opposed to brits colonizing all of europe including denmark. And also it just feels wrong to win by deleting a lot of the factions/diversity from the game. btw love this mod, A++ stuff!

Just my two cents, but you should consider reducing the sheer number of playables. I'd much rather see three or four focused, fleshed out, balanced, glitch free and polished playable HRE factions with cultural and faction traits instead of >6 no cultural trait factions without the content or most importantly balancing to make them unique or worthwhile.

My biggest concern is time. If CA with their massive budget has a hard time producing worthwhile DLC and fleshed out enough DLC factions in time, then you guys would have to work your a***s off if you plan on making so many playables that are actually enjoyable to play. So yeah, I'd content merge, make the rest of the HREs non-playables, and focus on polishing the big boy factions in the empire and finishing the game before the attila fanbase has dissipated.

Can we have actual army systems instead of those weird metal album names? Like raise an army and it's called "Here I 'Kings Guard'" and the next is "Here II 'Fyrd of Sherwood'" or something like that. Like the romans in Attila.

Hmm okay... Imo the Attila EoS skins are a step up compared to the usual americanized portrayals where afroasiatics don't even exist and everything is either white or west african looking (which fits the hollywood actor pool). But I'll agree the EoS faces look a bit exaggerated up close. Also I have no idea how sudanese people looked in the 1200's so you're probably right I just assumed he was ethiopian-ish.

Isn't he the wrong race? Attila has both sub-saharan AND aethiop character models which look different from each other.

I second this. Deus, surely, vult.

It is definitely an interesting and historical touch, but in campaigns it's a bit annoying when there's multiple similar type units that are hard to tell apart in function and have to be micro'd differently in battles. Especially if they can't be auto-upgraded and have to be manually disbanded and re-recruited to a higher tier later on because they're on different unit/building chains but still have the same battlefield function. All that said, I guess it doesn't HURT to add lots of similar units with different progressions (as long as the player carefully checks which is which), but it seems like a lot of work for not a lot of gameplay benefit to me.

I'm going to get some hate but this faction has too many spear units imo. It would be hard to manage unless they're all different tiers of the same tech chain. All the special ability buttons differing, everyone looking different in portrait and being recruited at different places, everyone having slightly different run speeds etc... Is it 10 different spears? I'd say like 2 different base units (less mobile/pike unit and more mobile light spear unit) with 3 tier upgrade ladder (base, bulk and elite) makes sense.

Metal af

...jk??? Right??? You're about ready to release campaign right???? Right???????? ??? ? ?????????????????? ?

Will you release this game before they make another medieval? And is there a way to contribute (if you got 0 skill)?

So, when?

Yes. Very..... Special............

That many playable? That seems over-ambitious and like it would drag down overall quality. Go on a diet. Also is there any possibility we could get the pre-battle speech dynamic from shogun 2 but with the medieval speeches or something like that? I want to hear my general talk about faeces and the Lord before each battle to get into the medieval mood.

Could we have PR style VOIP maybe?

The imposter campaign releases for this on steam atm require AoC expansion. Will this require it too?

So we won't get ridiculous medieval iconography?

kind of off topic but is there a fall of moscow map?

Will you add the basic Warband universal 'sub'mods that most other mods use? Essentially the in scripting terms cluster fudge that is the Floris pack? And will you let someone else help you with your mod?

Because if not I'm sorry this is just a gorgeous mod that will never reach a playable state (at least not with any longevity).

Requests from a spoiled brat:
- Release full public alpha? :3 I understand you may not want to ruin the hype by releasing too soon but it will help with bug testing...
- Update limited (CB) alpha often so people know you're still alive?
- Update limited (...or full...) alpha through steam workshop?

Questions from a spoiled brat:
- Do you need help from people who are entirely unskilled? I could... I dunno find music or something...

Never mind I just saw the starpos post, the 'Swedish' flag is Verona, and Sweden accurately sports the Folkunga flag at the start of the game.

Bottom-most left-most, is that Sweden? If so, shouldn't the flag be the three crowns or the yellow lion on blue cloth of Folkungaätten rather than the Nordic cross flag? I supposed it could have been used at the end of the game but at the beginning the yellow cross on blue background was not yet adopted.

When?

The development of this mod is, in all honesty, far too slow. For this mod to have comparable content to the big ones out there, like ACoK, or even the Floris pack, we're going to have to wait say 5+ more years. And by that time, we can't even say if people will even be playing Bannerlord, since Bannerlord 2 might be out by then.

Let's face it, the content that is in this mod may be great, but should it be more than a barren content-less desert of a mod, it's going to have to need more than one modder.

An edit though: Should this mod be an MP mod, it would already be great.

That's not how the brain processes an image. The black lines should be very blurry/faded, and the centre (where the nose is) should be blurry and faded.

But for the sake of feeling the claustrophobia of wearing a gas mask in a toxic environment in a war, I guess it's fairly good, except from the centre that should be more softly faded.

I'm with you. I like to have an artist signature on the game art. Unless of course it's vital to the atmosphere. Posters and stuff should be authentic...

Did I write that? Why did I write that. I must have been drunk. Can I delete my own comment? 'Cause that's embarrassing...

What? No Swedish forces? They got so many unique assets and there's a huge Swedish PR community. Weirder still the Finnish and Norwegian forces are worked on when they're only using foreign assets and have much smaller PR communities :(

Oh well, if you want something done, do it yourself I guess.

Hey doc, any plans on adding the 'standard' mods that most of the other M&B:WB mods have (like patrols, auto recruit, ships, all that...)?

Are there any proper install instructions/guide? Or could someone write out a better explanation?
