Design & Balance
Combat

• Bows, Crossbows and all Throwing Weapons' readying/aiming duration and patterns are now related to weapon speed (aiming used to be standard for all ranged weapons).
  • The faster the weapon is, the faster it readies up, the smaller the initial crosshair, the faster it gets accurate and the longer it holds max accuracy.
    
  • Minor adjustments will be made after reviewing performance.
  
  
• New Perk for bows and crossbows:
  • Faster Release - Grants faster-travelling projectiles to increase the effective range of Bows and Crossbows. Does not increase the damage value.

Both
UI
Changes

• Mission Order Radial:
  • The order UI has been changed and now has radial buttons. This is implemented mostly for gamepad usability since previously, that UI implementation was unusable with gamepads. Because of this, some orders had to be moved. F1 and F2 orders are unaffected but F3-F7 orders are now under a list, F3 (like F1 and F2). We're open to feedback about this change. So let us know what you think!
  
  
• UI now supports other language characters that are not included in the selected game language:
  • Previously characters in other languages would show up as block characters. e.g if your game language was English and someone typed in Japanese in the MP chat, the English player would see those characters as block characters. Now they show up as the correct characters.

Performance

• Optimisation made for agent spawning, improving the initialisation of battles and reinforcement phases.
  
• Optimisations made on inverse kinematics by reducing unnecessary usage in the animation system, slightly improving the overall performance.

Combat

• Fixed a scenario for crush through where the attacker could deal full damage to the opponent.
  
• Troop movement speeds when moving in arrangement had been reduced noticeably in the previous update, according to feedback and testing, this reduction has been made less severe for line arrangement.

Modding

• Fixes for crashes when using road_instance script for river sculpting.
  
• Check for errors functionality in editor also checks the physics objects of the mesh bended entities.
  
• A new functionality added to the editor for re-baking the selected GI probes.

Wie sieht es bei Bannerlord eigentlich aktuell so mit der KI aus? Früher hatte man ja das Problem, das in Orten stationierte Truppen oder Truppen, die man einem Untergebenen als Heerführer übergeben hat, quasi wie verschenbkt waren, weil der selbt Elitetruppen gerne mal mehr oder wenioger "verschenklt" hat, um sie durch Rekruten auszutauschen... was natürlich ein ziemliches Problem wurde später....

Ist es eigentlich mittlerweile möglich, sich als einfacher Infanterist einem Königreich anzuschließen, ohne je eigene Truppen anzuführen und gleichzeitig auf der Map nicht von Banditen massakriert zu werden?

 

Wenn Du gut mit dem Bogen bist kannst Du es mit ein paar Banditen aufnehmen - allerdings eher als Reiter. Zu Fuß bist Du zu langsam.

Dev Update 6

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMrHIlxTNE4
Man kann als Anfürer eines Reichs jetzt Lehen vergeben und als Vasall abgeben.
Wer will kann auch das Todessystem (und Geburten) ausschalten, dazu muss man aber ein neues Spiel starten.
Die KI heiratet jetzt auch so das jeder Clan meist genug Mitglieder haben wird um Armeen anzuführen.

Eini große Neuerung sind Rebellionen. Ist die Loyalität einer Siedlung gering dann greifen immer mehr Bürger zu den Waffen. Glauben diese gegen die Garnison gewinnen zu können kommt es zum Kampf. Gewinnen die Rebellen entsteht ein neuer Clan. Dieser muss sich aber erstmal behaupten indem er die Siedlung eine gewisse Zeit lang hält. Gelingt ihm dies wird er legitimiert und kann normal Diplomatie betreiben.

Man kann jetzt versuchen Clanmitglieder aus der Gefangenschaft zu befreien, dies ist allerdings noch Work in Progress.
Und es gibt Kämpfe innerhalb einer Festung mir engen Korridoren.

Greetings warriors of Calradia!

After a short hiatus, we’re back again with another development update! In this video, we’ll be taking a look at some of the updates that will be making their way to the live and beta versions of the game in the near future, as well as, a couple of new missions that are still in the works!

We hope you enjoy the video.

GRANT/RELINQUISH FIEF
First up is the ability to grant and relinquish fiefs.

When playing as a faction leader, you will be given the option to grant fiefs to your vassals, allowing you to diversify the ownership of fiefs across your kingdom, or bolster relations with a clan that might not be too fond of your rule.

Similarly, when playing as a vassal, you will have the option to relinquish control of a fief back to the kingdom, allowing a new round of voting to start on which clan should receive the fief.

These changes will give you much greater control over your lands, allowing you to plan ahead without any unexpected acquisitions complicating matters.

SETTLEMENT EVENT NOTIFICATIONS
Next, we have some new icons on settlement nameplates to indicate if there’s any issues or tournaments happening within a settlement, without needing to enter.

DISABLE DEATH
A new campaign setting has been added that allows you to disable the birth and death systems. Please note that you will need to start a new game to enable this option, and it can’t be changed afterwards, but the option is now there for those of you that are looking for a bit of a less dynamic and more familiar playthrough.

SIMULATION IMPROVEMENTS
A few important changes have been made to the campaign simulation that we wanted to highlight, some of which are already on beta and others that are coming in the next updates.

First, AI characters are now able to get married. And second, being somewhat connected is the addition of many new AI clan members. These changes aim to ensure that most, if not all, clans have enough clan members to lead parties, as well as, to increase the overall population and longevity of clans through children.

Additionally, more efforts have been made to address snowballing, with upcoming changes that enable factions to make comebacks, even after losing a few settlements. This is achieved through a more even distribution of wealth within each kingdom through a shared treasury, allowing clans to stick in the fight for much longer!

Finally, an inflation-related issue that allowed kingdoms to keep generating wealth has been resolved to make for a more healthy and stable economy.

PASSIVE RELATION EFFECT
A new mechanic is on the way that grants companions and clan members that are outside of a party with a passive effect that improves player relations with non-hostile clans and notables. When left in a friendly or neutral settlement, the companion or clan member will no longer roam the map, and instead will act in a new emissary type role, using their charm skill to increase relations while earning XP.

REBELLIONS
A new rebellion feature is incoming with the next beta patch that enables unhappy citizens to rise up and seize control of settlements.

The loyalty and security of a settlement is affected by a number of things, such as if there is a culture mismatch between the settlement owner and its inhabitants, whether the town was recently captured, the strength of the garrison, kingdom policies, governor skills, and so on...

As the loyalty of a settlement decreases, more and more citizens will take up arms in the form of militia. Once the militia feels that they are stronger than the garrison, and providing loyalty is low enough, a rebellion will occur.

A new clan will then take control of the settlement and attempt to establish themselves and legitimise their rule. If they manage to hold on to the settlement for a period of time, eventually they will be recognised by other clans and will be able to initiate diplomacy with kingdoms.

PRISON BREAK
Finally, we have the first of two missions that are a work in progress and subject to change, but that we wanted to share with you anyway.

Prison breaks allow you to break into enemy settlements and spring clan members, vassals, and friendly or neutral lords free from prison! If successful in breaking into a settlement, you will need to fight your way back out with prisoner in tow.

Naturally, breaking someone free comes at great risk to both you and the prisoner, especially when playing with death enabled!

KEEP BATTLES
And last, but by no means least, we have keep battles!

Keep battles present players with a different challenge from the standard field battles that make up the majority of Bannerlord’s engagements, with the fight taking place at extreme close-quarters in an enclosed space.

When assaulting a castle, you may find that the defenders decide to pull back their remaining forces to the castle keep to make a final stand. And it’s here where you will need to finish off the last of the defenders for the siege to be successful.

OUTRO
And that’s it for Development Update #6. We hope you enjoyed the video and we are looking forward to hearing your feedback about the changes in the comment section below.

Thanks for watching!

Both
UI
Changes

• Mission Order Radial:
  • The order UI has been changed and now has radial buttons. This is implemented mostly for gamepad usability since previously, that UI implementation was unusable with gamepads. Because of this, some orders had to be moved. F1 and F2 orders are unaffected but F3-F7 orders are now under a list, F3 (like F1 and F2). We're open to feedback about this change. So let us know what you think!
  
  
• UI now supports other language characters that are not included in the selected game language:
  • Previously characters in other languages would show up as block characters. e.g if your game language was English and someone typed in Japanese in the MP chat, the English player would see those characters as block characters. Now they show up as the correct characters.

Performance

• Optimisation made for agent spawning, improving the initialisation of battles and reinforcement phases.
  
• Optimisations made on inverse kinematics by reducing unnecessary usage in the animation system, slightly improving the overall performance.

Combat

• Fixed a scenario for crush through where the attacker could deal full damage to the opponent.
  
• Troop movement speeds when moving in arrangement had been reduced noticeably in the previous update, according to feedback and testing, this reduction has been made less severe for line arrangement.

AI

• Improved aiming and decision-making process of Archer AI.
  
• Improved AI behaviour while charging when they have throwing weapons equipped.

Modding

• Fixes for crashes when using road_instance script for river sculpting.
  
• Check for errors functionality in editor also checks the physics objects of the mesh bended entities.
  
• A new functionality added to the editor for re-baking the selected GI probes.

• Fixed a bug that caused the player to lose most of his/her weight after the first day of the game.
  
• Fixed various community reported perk problems.

Clan and Party

• A new feature named "Emissary System" has been added to the game. With this feature, when a companion or family member is left in a town or a castle, the main hero will gain relation with the nobles and notables in that town or castle with a success chance. This chance increases with the "Charm" skill. Additionally, when the companion or the family member gains relation, he/she will also gain some experience according to the importance of the hero whose relation was improved with (importance level: kingdom leader > clan leader > notable).
  
• The prisoner recruitment process has been changed completely.
  • Each troop has required "conformity" value to be generated by the party, to be recruited. This value is based on troop tier, so that higher tier troops will be harder to recruit. Owner party will generate conformity per hour for a random troop. Higher Leadership level will generate more conformity.
    
  • Recruiting bandits carries a culture penalty.
    
  • NPC lords can now recruit prisoners.

• Fixed a bug that made the player’s family members stuck in the player’s settlements as prisoners.
  
• Fixed the “party speed not getting updated” bug after leaving an army.

Kingdoms and Diplomacy

• Rebellion feature added.
  • Loyalty and security is affected by many things. A town being recently captured, starvation, mismatch of ruling clans culture and settlements culture, raided villages, governor skill perks, a strong garrison, kingdom policies etc.
    
  • If Loyalty of a town drops below 25, Town starts to generate more militia. This militia represents armed and angry people of the settlement, thus as loyalty drops further less of them will join the defence in case of a siege.
    
  • Once the growing militia feels stronger than the garrison, and if loyalty is below 15, rebellion occurs.
    
  • The new rebellion clan will try to defend themselves while trying to establish their legitimacy. In 30 days time, they will form a legitimate clan and can start initiating diplomacy to join existing kingdoms.
    
  • Rebellion clans are always on bad terms with their oppressor's.
    
  • If the settlement owner's culture and settlement's culture are the same, the rebellion clan will have a bad relation with all the factions that share that culture.
    
  • If the settlement owner’s culture and settlement’s culture are different, the rebellion clan will have a bad relation with all the factions that share the owner’s culture but will have a good relation with all the factions that share the settlement’s culture.
  
  
• Done a major work on keeping all kingdoms on the campaign map for a longer time. Now kingdoms make more comebacks even though they lost several towns. The map is now also more balanced during the late game and usually, all kingdoms have several towns.
  
• There was money inflation in the game, the money of all kingdoms was always increasing. This has been fixed.
  
• Players were making a profit when they declared war and made peace afterwards. This has been fixed. Kingdoms now usually want money for making peace with a weak player/player kingdom. Additionally, if the player breaks truce now his clan's aggressiveness increases and it will be a bit harder / more expensive to make new peace. The player now also loses relation with the rival king if he breaks the truce.
  
• Ensured all clans have at least one fief and that medium-tier clans have enough income.
  
• Ensured that each clan has two more adults than the number of parties for their tier (nP + 2).
  
• Players will get relation and renown bonuses after donating enemy prisoners to settlements.
  
• Ensured minor faction nobles have weapon skills.
  
• Ensured only kingdoms are shown in the kingdom diplomacy screen.
  
• Fixed a bug that led to AI clans to propose decisions even if they didn’t have enough influence.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented minor faction heroes and notables from having traits and skills.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused some prisoners to not be released after peace declarations.
  
• Familial relations of the clan Fen Caernacht have been fixed.

• Fixes
  • Various minor tweaks and fixes.
    
  • Visual bug in the multiplayer armour screen has been fixed.

Both

Combat

  • Made it slightly easier to hit around shields when they are in the wrong direction AND the user is rotated away. (Before you would be stopped by thin air too often, trying to hit around shields).
    
  • For more details check this forum post.
  
  
• Agents with ranged weapons normally approach the enemy until they see them when they are given the charging order. When they weren't shooting due to a friend blocking their way, they didn't approach and stood in place despite being told to charge, now they do and also do minor sideway movements to increase the chance of seeing past their friends.
  
• Agent speed limits were decreased drastically while moving in formation, this proved a bit too much and was increased in some arrangement types closer to their previous value.
  
• The AI targeting system ignored a value while evaluating the player's point. This has been fixed.

Other

• Console command line execution output will no longer be limited by an internal limit.

Modding

• Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Modding Kit now has a "Beta" version which can be enabled in the same way you enable "Beta" for our base game.

You can enable beta by right-clicking on Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Modding Kit in your Steam library -> Properties -> BETAS -> Select the beta from the dropdown menu.
  
• Added 3 skeletons (human, horse, camel) which you can find in the "ROOT/modding_resources/skeletons" folder.

Beta e1.5.6

• Fixed a crash that occurred while loading the launcher. (Also in the main hotfix.)

Beta hotfix hab ich mal ungespoilert gelassen, weil nix gespoilert wird.

 

Gibts grad bei Steam günstiger. Wie kann ich am besten herausfinden ob das Spiel was für mich ist? Denke 2 Std anspielen + Refund wird dem Spiel nicht gerecht oder?

 

Doch, denke schon. Probiers einfach aus und schaue dir ggf. vorher noch 1-2 YouTube Videos an. Wenn du so etwas wie Total War magst (als Strategie Spiel), generell RPG Games magst und dir ein "Total War in 1st Person" vorstellen kannst, sollte M&B aber auch für dich passen.

 

Zumal es viele Mods gibt, die für Abwechslung sorgen.
Wenn du zb Game of Thrones oder Römer magst

• Added 5 combat-related medicine perks.

• Fixed various community reported perk problems.

Clan and Party

• Added a passive relations bonus when a companion or family member is left in a town or a castle, the main hero will gain relation with the nobles and notables in that town or castle with a success chance. This chance increases with the "Charm" skill. Additionally, when the companion or the family member gains relation, they will also gain some experience according to the importance of the hero whose relation was improved with (importance level: kingdom leader > clan leader > notable).
• The prisoner recruitment process has been changed completely.
  • Each troop has required "conformity" value to be generated by the party, to be recruited. This value is based on troop tier, so that higher tier troops will be harder to recruit. Owner party will generate conformity per hour for a random troop. Higher Leadership level will generate more conformity.
  • Recruiting bandits carries a culture penalty.
  • NPC lords can now recruit prisoners.
• Marrying off clan members is now possible.
• From now on, family members can be used for issues' alternative solutions.

• Fixed a bug that made the player’s family members stuck in the player’s settlements as prisoners.
• Fixed the “party speed not getting updated” bug after leaving an army.

Kingdoms and Diplomacy

• Rebellion feature added.
  • Loyalty and security is affected by many things. A town being recently captured, starvation, mismatch of ruling clans culture and settlements culture, raided villages, governor skill perks, a strong garrison, kingdom policies etc.
  • If Loyalty of a town drops below 25, Town starts to generate more militia. This militia represents armed and angry people of the settlement, thus as loyalty drops further less of them will join the defence in case of a siege.
  • Once the growing militia feels stronger than the garrison, and if loyalty is below 15, rebellion occurs.
  • The new rebellion clan will try to defend themselves while trying to establish their legitimacy. In 30 days time, they will form a legitimate clan and can start initiating diplomacy to join existing kingdoms.
  • Rebellion clans are always on bad terms with their oppressor's.
  • If the settlement owner's culture and settlement's culture are the same, the rebellion clan will have a bad relation with all the factions that share that culture.
  • If the settlement owner’s culture and settlement’s culture are different, the rebellion clan will have a bad relation with all the factions that share the owner’s culture but will have a good relation with all the factions that share the settlement’s culture.
• Done a major work on keeping all kingdoms on the campaign map for a longer time. Now kingdoms make more comebacks even though they lost several towns. The map is now also more balanced during the late game and usually, all kingdoms have several towns.
• There was money inflation in the game, the money of all kingdoms was always increasing. This has been fixed.
• Players were making a profit when they declared war and made peace afterwards. This has been fixed. Kingdoms now usually want money for making peace with a weak player/player kingdom. Additionally, if the player breaks truce now his clan's aggressiveness increases and it will be a bit harder / more expensive to make new peace.

If the conversation character is inside a common area, the player and the conversation character will spawn near the common area (This also fixes some weird camera bugs in the “Family Feud” quest). Please note that some scenes still don't have the required spawn points and will be getting them with the upcoming patches.

Wie sieht es eigentlich aus sind durch die Patches regelmäßig Saves korrupt oder kann man den auch mal über mehrere Patches spielen?

 

Mods werden regelmäßig unbrauchbar und müssen nachbearbeitet werden. Wenn man ein Spiel lädt und andere Mods aktiviert hatte als beim Save kommt eine Abfrage ob man den Spielstand wirklich laden will trotz Versionsabweichung. Meistens funktionierts dann trotzdem.
Vanilla kann ich es nicht sagen.

• Made a number of visual improvements on various architectural prop models.

Battles and Sieges

  • 'Devastate' and 'Pillage' can damage the prosperity and projects of a settlement, as well as, diminish the power of notables in towns. Naturally, the previous settlement owner won’t be too happy about the destruction of their former home. However, the participants of the siege will see their coffers and party morale rise. Still, lords and ladies may or may not approve of the action depending on their traits.
  • 'Show Mercy' allows the winners to take over the settlement without causing too much harm to it or its inhabitants. While this is expected for settlements of one’s own faction culture, showing mercy to foreign settlements will cause unrest among the troops. Just as with the other choices, some nobles will approve or disapprove of the action.

• Fixed a siege issue that caused attacking troops to run into walls until they routed after primary siege engines (towers and ram) were destroyed on all lanes.
• Formation AI siege behaviour scoring has been revised significantly, allowing all AI formations to attack or pull back when the situation demands it.
• Fixed a condition that caused incorrect calculation for formation AI behaviour selection.
• Fixed an issue that prevented AI troops from selecting the correct weapon due to the distance of the enemy through nav mesh.
• Fixed an issue that mixed up the positions of the crossbow holster and bolt when spawning in scenes.
• Fixed various deployment spawn errors.

• Fixed a bug that prevented failed rebellion clans from being destroyed after 30 days.
• Fixed a bug that caused rebellion clan leaders to have the 'King' title in their name.
• Initial position selection for dynamically created kingdoms has been improved.
• Fixed a bug related to all player kingdom prisoners being bartered with the player automatically which lead to faulty notifications.
• Fixed a bug that caused a lord to barter all of his gold for the player's daughter.

Economy and Trade

• Changed the outcome from slaughtering horses from 4 meat and 2 hides to 3 meat.
• Added plural forms of trade items, e.g. 'Tyal horses' and 'amphorae of oil'.
