What kind? We don't have any yet, but it is clearly gonna come eventually. Allying with other AI to fight off the Baron together? Trading goods with other AI towns/villages?

Also, the entire map is one Barony, so how does it make sense that there are up to four (including your own) independent towns? I'm not too versed on medieval law, but baronies were usually ruled by one person, not a bunch of independent villages, each with a title to a subsection of the barony. Idk. Guess it is a gameplay compromise.

He advertises it on his monthly live streams, but I never catch them live and get to click the link. It isn't a public server, so it requires an invite. Been trying for the better part of 3 months to find a working link that isn't expired.

Title. How? I know it isn't implemented or intended to happen right now in the game, but I see many beautiful walled cities in this sub, and I want to do it myself. Hopefully, Slavic Magic will implement it into the game itself so you don't have to do whatever jank people are using to get it to work.

Title. I hope so, because the new one is garbage. Nothing transferred over, and when I tested it, it over summarized everything and was very vague.

I use GPT for really detailed worldbuilding and have dozens of highly detailed memories specifically saved so I can discuss things in any conversation with a high level of detail. What would the new system even be good at? I guess if you're venting to it? I don't use GPT for that.

A second variant of the super tanks could act as a spawn point. It would have 360 degree machine gun coverage in sponson mounts and a smoke grenade launcher. It would have a maximum capacity of 50 shirts in its inventory for infantry to use as spawn tickets, so it isn't unlimited. Once it runs out, you'd need to resupply it with more shirts. Spawning also could squad and regiment locked for operations, or left open to the public when people are just dicking around.

Addition: This super tank APC variant needs to be deployed, like a crane, to allow spawning. It will be inmobile in this mode. Crew cannot enter the vehicle with shirts in their inventory. Since it can only carry 50 shirts for spawning, it could have two additional inventory slots: one with a capacity of 50 for weapons and another with a capacity of 150 for generic ammunition. That way, each weapon could have up to three magazines, rockets, or whatever is appropriate for the weapon slot. The ammunition slots for the weapons will be separate from the 12.7 ammunition used for the machine guns on the vehicle itself.

What do you all think?

My area has a very big recovery community, so all the handymen/plumbers are 80% like described above. Good guys, the lot of em.

Title. They are expensive, but the late game likely won't be an issue. Still, though, 5k for 3 guys still might break the bank if you need an army for 250. Also, recruitment won't be as plentiful if you're recruiting a handful here and there.

View Poll

I remember when the EA first started, you would see the people making paths that would dynamically appear on the ground due to it being tread over a lot. Maybe there is something wrong with my game, but it doesn't seem to be doing it anymore. I really like this feature.

I'm a dude, and I play a female character. I don't know why. I always have in MMOs. There's the trope that all the female characters in MMOs being dudes IRL for a reason.

What is one thing in Bannerlord that you would want overhauled?

I know a lot of people would say diplomacy or other gameplay systems, but I'd like to see the Vlandians and the other factions that still use older assets receive a major visual update. Their towns, equipment, and overall could use more detail to bring them up to par with the factions that were created later in development.

The Vlandians have some pretty rough looking equipment compared to the other factions, and many of their cities look noticeably less detailed. I believe this is because they may have been one of the first factions developed, and some of their assets have aged compared to newer content.

It's not just the Vlandians. I'd like to see all of the older factions get a polish pass and modernize their visuals and bring them up to the same quality as the Nords. I'd love to see the older factions receive the same level of detail as the newer ones

What is up recently with the older Gen Z and even Gen A now, I guess, legitimately saying, "You're too old to use Discord," or that it is "creepy"?

Several times, I've had a 19 or 20 yr old tell me I'm too old and that Discord is for teenagers. Excuse me? Since when was that true? My account is 11 years old and was created in June of 2015, when they were 8 or 9. I'm 34. I made a Discord account back then because my buddies and I wanted to try something other than Skype. The audio quality on voice calls in Discord absolutely sucked back when it first came out, so we didn't use it after our original test until 2016, when the voice quality was much better.

I've noticed over the years that a lot of teenagers have started using Discord, which isn't a bad thing, but to be told I'm too old to use it is insulting

It would be cool, mostly for the looks, but a watermill building could perhaps be used for a higher tier forge, grinding wheat into flour, or fulling cloth via water powered hammers. I don't know. I think it would add to the aesthetic to have a watermill production building on the river.

I've a genuine question: why does Slavic Magic keep reworking features of the game? The new trade system they explained in a dev blog a while ago does sound cool, and I do look forward to it, but I have noticed that the majority of the updates we receive are "X and Y have been reworked" or minor changes.

I don't want to get on the bad side of this subreddit, because I know there are people here who will say, "IT'S EARLY ACCESS, BRO," and just smite any criticism whatsoever, but where is the content? Sure, a new tier of houses is cool, but where are the new things to keep me playing? I just don't want this game to fall into the same trap that Project Zomboid is in.

Does anyone else go to sleep with the anxiety that you're going to wake up and find your Discord account permanently suspended? I'm heavily involved in Discord's political spaces and participate in a lot of debates on various topics. Sometimes I receive frivolous violations from people who report me simply because they don't like my politics. The overwhelming majority of violations have been lifted.

I currently have two violations on my account that Discord upheld. Both were for "hateful conduct," even though they weren't if you looked at the full context- which Discord doesn't seem to do.

I'm starting to feel like I may have to resign myself from the political side of Discord as a whole because of people who report others over political disagreements. This kind of behavior is terrible and does not create a healthy environment for sharing ideas or having open discussions.

I give this game about a 20% chance of having any staying power. Bugs and technical issues aside, the game is essentially just a Hell Let Loose reskin with almost no meaningful improvements to the gunplay or other core mechanics.

HLL already had fairly static gunplay that, at least to me, felt somewhat clunky. HLL: Vietnam doesn't feel worthy of being called a sequel. At best, it feels more like a HLL DLC than a standalone follow up title.

That is all

I know this will be unpopular with people outside of the United States due to the potential blocking of Discord as a service in their countries, but I honestly don't care anymore.

! now firmly believe Discord needs to change its ways or be purchased by someone who will change its policies to follow US free speech standards and allow any speech that is legal under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, since it is a US company. They don't have to do this, but I think they should for their own survival.

Discord should take a far more hands off approach to moderation and so called "hate speech" enforcement because these standards are often subjective. Individual servers should decide what speech they want to allow, as long as it falls within what is legally protected under US law. People receive strikes for expressing opinions- sometimes vile opinions, sometimes completely mundane opinions- because they are deemed "hateful conduct." You cannot have meaningful debates when people can mass report something simply because they disagree with it. The only way to fix this, in my view, is to allow all speech that is legally protected under US law.

Doing so would eliminate many of these ridiculous and often arbitrary strikes. As for people in foreign countries with restrictive speech laws, I don't know what to tell you. I think your governments are wrong for not protecting free speech more robustly.

I don't want Discord banned in parts of Europe or elsewhere, either, but this is the only way I can see many of Discord's problems being resolved. Allow whatever is legal under US law, and let individual server owners decide what speech is permitted within their own server.
