Defensive sieges were one of the best parts about Warband but these are very hard to come across in Bannerlord. Currently (as of 1.3 and 1.4), the AI only attacks a castle when they have an extreme advantage, which means that if you manage to get into the castle before the AI begins it's siege, you're going to lose the battle. Battanian = fian champions in vast numbers with a (15-20) strong group of cav to screen enemy cav and help the archers maintain distance from infantry. Scale up as needed. Use a companion to field another group heavy with infantry or whatever you need more of and always have them in your army for 0 influence. There are many currencies in the world of Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord and Influence is one of the most important ones. Though players wouldn’t think at the start that it is a currency, Influence is used by you and the AI to fight to decide what happens in a faction.

Once they're stronger than the garrison, if their loyalty is low enough, they'll rebel. Rebelling citizens will So the real problem here, as I see it, is the -3 and 4 loyalty based on faction. This should start at -3, go down to 0 within about a year of gameplay, and up to +3 after another year, OR you have the option to slaughter those disloyal to bring it up (but hurt prosperity and notable favor). -4 is just way too much. Nope but if you go to war with the faction that owns the city your workshop is in then poof you lost it. It makes owning workshops when you are being a mercenary more challenging for sure. 2.

Or, if you know sturgia is going to have their armies down by the khuzaits because they’re at war, take a castle up by the battania border so you have time to siege before Open comment sort options. Pay them tribute, or chop chop on the executioners block. If that is not possible as you are a vassal, create clan parties, 50 man, and make them full cav. Place them in defensive way (in clan window on party there is a selection of capping recruitment and upgrades to specific cost as well as setting them to neugral v1.0.1: Fixed a bug where if the player happened to be waiting in a town/village when the contract menu pops up they would be stuck inside the town/village when the menu closes. The mod should now switch back to the previously open menu if a menu was open when the contract menu triggers. Sort by: jseep21. • 4 yr. ago. I had a similar glitch where a king was at -100 with me from the start of the game. The only way I was able to fix it was through the dev console cause I didnt want to start a new save again, I just reset him to 0 cause once they dislike you you cant even go in their castles or get quests from them. 1. bOEz2I.
