In Mount And Blade 2 Bannerlord, you can potentially command large armies in big battles, but you’re first going to have to win them over. Keeping their loyalty, feeding them, and upgrading them to stronger troop types will be the key to conquering the land. It’ll take a lot of work, so we’ll explain how to do it here.
During the main quest in Mount And Blade 2 Bannerlord, you’ll meet a couple of influential people who want to steer you in a certain direction. Whichever person you decide to side with out of Arzagos or Istiana, the other person will try to thwart your plans later on. There is a lot of confusion surrounding these quests, so let’s talk about what’s happening in each one.
We’re still neck deep in horseflies and looter gizzards here at the sinister RPS emergency underdome. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a hefty game with a lot of moving parts, and I expect to be playing and talking about it for a long time.
But right now the most important news is that a player has created a custom banner editor. You can now fly your own designs on flags, shields, and even over your own castles.
Settlements of bugs and crashes burn behind them, but the campaign is not yet complete. This Friday, Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord developers TaleWords took the fight against the game’s crashing to a new front. Patch e1.0.4 purged the game of 17 more crashes, with a scant few performance issues and balance oddities finding themselves caught in the crossfire.
You could just buy weapons from traders in Mount And Blade 2 Bannerlord, but why would you do that when you can make your own? You’ll need to set things up first, such as getting some hardwood to refine into charcoal, as well as plenty of loot from fallen enemies to learn weapon parts, but with our help, you’ll soon be making wonderfully powerful weapons to massacre your foes with.
When you begin Mount And Blade 2 Bannerlord, you’ll only have a paltry sum of gold to your name. In order to build up your army and keep them fed, you’ll need to make some smart investments with traders and caravans. Money talks as they say, but in Bannerlord, gold is especially important to succeeding and you’ll want lots of it.
Recruiting people to your cause in Mount And Blade 2 Bannerlord is key to achieving your goals, whatever they may be. The most valuable people though will be companions, who are people you can assign roles within your army and who can be upgraded in similar ways to your player controlled character. Finding them in the first place is a challenge, but once you have them you’ll likely want more specialised companions.
I met Arwa during a siege. She was a spearwoman of the Aserai. A fighty southerner who had been taken prisoner on four separate occasions, but still loved to go to war. She made me feel dizzy, a real knock-out. Or maybe that was the Imperial mace that cracked me across the skull. It’s hard to say what mystery ailments arise from love, when you’re storming the battlements and slashing inaccurately at the air in front of your foe. They’ll tell you Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord is a medieval war game. But it’s not. It’s a dating sim.
A phalanx of heavily-armed bug fixes cut down a number of crashes in a new Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord patch released last night. The sandbox medieval warfare multi-hyphenate RPG entered early access on Monday but some players got off to a bumpy start. Enter this patch at 9pm, with fixes for over 18 crashes and soft-locks as well as some ‘infinite loading’ problems.
