As we near the twilight of Warband, I've been playing a lot of mods waiting for Bannerlord. I just want to praise you. You did a fantastic job! IMO the best mod out there.

Recreating the GoT world was an astounding effort in itself. But aside from that this is great Warband. The factions seem distinct. I dont agree with all the troop trees but they feel like factions and have distinct looks. The battles are what I love most. The AI works well. Been playing another mod and it really seems to have two flavors. Enemy sits doing nothing or charges. Doesnt feel like a real battle just a big melee. The maps are also better than most. Other mods are too hilly or have a river blocking movement or way too small. Sometimes havent even made the lines before the enemy is on top of us (because all they do is charge). Your battles are epic and fun and feel like two armies meeting on the field.  You also didnt try and reinvent the wheel  by changing all the weapons and armor mechanics so some villager with a stick isnt taking down knights.

I just wanted to thank you for your effort and the hours of enjoyment youve given me the past few years

I'm trying to remember a game I swore I've played. It was similar to CK2. I took place in the 1300s. Joan of Arc was hero you could recruit. I remember having to fight the English while also trying to unite the French factions. I remember it being important that you held Rouen since thats where you needed to be coronated.

I cant think of the town's name But its northern most castle of Voltanis. There is no way to cross the rivers to get to it. So to get to from say Selhorys you have to all the way around the rivers and then double back.  I dont know if that was intentional.

I made my son a lord.

Its been over a week of game time and he is still just (1) in his party. Has recruited no one. The garrison of his fief hasnt increased either.

I am wondering if the issue is that our culture is Crownlands since I choose Valyrian at the start. I can only recruit from inns. The AI is maybe not finding any crownlands to recruit since there is no Danerys or Aegon holdings and no actual Crownlands faction?

I was sieging Lys and the map has a number of issues.

Troops often become unresponsive. I'm not sure if its geometry/pathing related or possibly the ground fire effect. At times some would just all mill around the spot where the fire was. Other troops just stand around. Some would stand at the foot of the ladder but never go up.

Lots of X fell unconscious messages.  I dont know if its bleeding damage or people falling off stuff (or even that fire effect).

The biggest issue was crashes. It has A LOT of props and effects and at first I thought that was issue. I kept turning down the troop #'s but it would still crash. Noticed that it happened at the start or the respawn. The spawn point is too close to the stockades and tents and what not.  This also caused another issue that a good deal of troops would get stuck in the props and never make it to battle.  The ones that dont get stuck end up really cramped together and start running into each other. Which IMO was causing the graphics to crash. To much stuff in one spot.  I went into edit mode and left the spawn point the same and just selected all the tents and props and just shifted it back. This gave the troops the room they needed to spawn normally. That stop the crashing and allowed me to turn the troop numbers back up.
