Mount & Blade Bannerlord Early Access - Patch e1.0.11, Beta Branch e1.1.0 Hotfix, FAQ, Announcements

Settlement loyalty (morale) affects production, though it doesn't show in tooltip. Remove your governor if they have the -2 to culture, have the daily default Festival and Games with nothing in the construction queue. Build fairgrounds when production is positive.

• Why can't I upgrade my footmen into cavalry, it says I need a horse but I have plenty of sumpter horses and mules!

Pack animals like these do not count as "horses" for this purpose.

• But I have these big warhorses and it still doesn't work!

Warhorses count as a class of their own, they are used to upgrade heavy cav so you can't use them to make light cav from footmen.

• How do I assemble a caravan?

Talk to an artisan in a city, these will be named characters, in dialogue you can pay them 15k to build a caravan and send it out, led by one of your companions.

• How do I dissolve a caravan?

This is done through the clan screen (L-Key), the caravan is visible among your clan's parties.

• Is there any way for me to quickly gain influence?

If you're flush with cash, you can recruit large amounts of troops and donate these to allied factions or cities.

• When will the game leave early access?

TW has said the EA may last around a year's time, though this is subject to change.

• Will the game be released on consoles?

Yes, though the release date for this is still unknown.

• I'm having issues playing the game, but my 1050/1060/1070/1080 clears the minimum required specs!

These GPUs have been reported not to work well with the game at the moment, updating your drivers may help, though if you are suffering severe issues consider waiting for a patch/driver update and sending TW any crash reports you can.

• How do I mod the game?

As unified, official modding tools have not yet been released, it's best to consult online guides and #mnb-mods for help with this issue.

• What does the "enable death" option do?

With this option enabled NPCs may die in combat or be executed by lords, you yourself will not die in battle but you are still at risk of execution.

• Why am I moving so slowly on the campaign map?

This may be due to several things: if your inventory contains too many live animals then you will incur a "herd" speed penalty. If your party consists solely of (slow) footmen then purchasing non-pack horses will allow them to mount up outside of combat to improve speed. Carrying items, troops, or prisoners over their respective limits will slow you down severely.

• What are the pack animals and is there a difference between them?

The mule, camel and sumpter horse are the dedicated pack animals of the game, the sumpter horse allows you to move faster on the campaign map than the mule.

• How do I improve my party's morale?

Winning battles and having a large variety of food are the simplest ways of accomplishing this.

• How do I improve X skill?

In your character screen, every skill when hovered over displays a section showing the ways used to train it.

• How do I raise my charm? It's not very clear…

Bartering with lords through the "I have a proposal" option, capturing and releasing them, and bribing keep guards. Raising a lord's opinion from you also yields Charm XP.

• How do I find X noble?

Press 'N' to open the encyclopedia and find the desired lord, their latest reported location is displayed in the top right.

• Can I change my character's or my banner's looks mid-game?

Yes! Just press V and you go into the character creator menu or press B to edit your banner.

• How do I get to know details more about a settlement?

Simply right click on the label above the settlement, this takes you to its encyclopedia page.

• How do I equip my companions with new equipment?

In the inventory screen, press the arrows at the middle top of the screen to navigate to the companions in your party.

• How do I assign a companion to a clan role, and what skills are used for them?

To do this talk to a companion outside of a town through the party screen and talk to them about giving them a role.

Surgeon: Medicine

Quartermaster: Steward

Scout: Scout

Engineer: Engineer

• How do I get new parts for smithing?

You can get both part blueprints and materials from smelting down captured weapons.

• How do I make money?

Currently the most effective ways of earning money are completing quests, selling prisoners, and manual trading. Two very effective resources to trade are furs and silver ore, though the economy is dynamic, and this may change in your game.

• How do I buy a workshop?

"Walk around" in a town, and by holding Alt find a location marked "workshop", there you can buy a workshop for 15k by talking to the workers.

• How do I gain Influence?

Influence is best earned in service to a kingdom, either as a mercenary or as a vassal.

• A new patch is out but my launcher displays an old number, what gives?

The main file off which the launcher run is often not updated in these hotfix-like early updates, check the mods tab of your launcher to display the versions of your game modules.

• When resuming my save file my game tells me something about a module mismatch, what is going on?

It's likely that a patch has been released since you last played the game, you can simply press yes and load up the save, if your save is unplayable with the newest patch it's best to simply start a new game, as trying to maintain a single save throughout Early Access is unfeasible.

• Where can I find the patch notes?

When new patch notes are released, we put these in a pinned post as soon as we can.

• X Kingdom is completely dominating all the others in my game, what is happening?

If your save file stems from an early patch, it is likely that this kingdom profited from the workshop glitches that existed at the time, causing them to have near-unlimited funds. Starting a new save is the best way to "fix" this. If your save stems from a later patch, it's likely to simply be the result of inherent balancing issues with an Early Access game.

• Where do I see my smithing stamina?

This is visible on your portrait on the bottom left, hovering over it in the smithing menu displays your stamina.

• Companions have smithing skill sometimes, how do I use this?

Clicking the portrait mentioned above allows you to swap between characters!

• Why is settlement prosperity so low and how do I improve it?

• Why can't I upgrade my footmen into cavalry, it says I need a horse but I have plenty of sumpter horses and mules!

Pack animals like these do not count as "horses" for this purpose.

• But I have these big warhorses and it still doesn't work!

Warhorses count as a class of their own, they are used to upgrade heavy cav so you can't use them to make light cav from footmen.

• How do I assemble a caravan?

Talk to an artisan in a city, these will be named characters, in dialogue you can pay them 15k to build a caravan and send it out, led by one of your companions.

• How do I dissolve a caravan?

This is done through the clan screen (L-Key), the caravan is visible among your clan's parties.

• Is there any way for me to quickly gain influence?

If you're flush with cash, you can recruit large amounts of troops and donate these to allied factions or cities. Another way of earning influence is joining a starving army with food, you may end up sharing it with starving parties for a lot of influence.

• How do I marry a character?

Courtship is established through a response following the "I have something to discuss" dialogue option, after successful courtship through speech checks the character's liege must be convinced, after which you'll be married.

• How do I get a child?

Simply spending time with your spouse either in a settlement or party will eventually result in one.

• I have children but when do they grow up?

This takes 18 ingame years.

• What is the point of adult children then?

These can be used as companions past the cap the tavern wanderers use up, and if your character dies you can continue to play as one of your children.

• I created my own kingdom but I'm having X issue!

As a blanket statement, player kingdom creation is simply not fully supported in the game as it is, if you are facing significant issues with making or dealing with your own kingdom, it's because of that. We do not recommend creating your own kingdom at this time.

• I've seen people be much more agile on horses than I am, what's the secret?

By double-tapping your forward or backwards key you can spur your horse to speed up or slow down a lot quicker.

• How do I make one of those cool banners I keep seeing?

You can go to https://bannerlord.party/banner/ to make a banner there, then copy the code and paste it into your banner editing screen ingame.

• X Perk seems to not be working, what's the problem?

A lot of perks in the game are currently nonfunctional, we'll be adding a list of said perks here as soon as we confirm which ones work or not.

• Do prisoners become recruitable when kept in castle dungeons?

Yes they do.

• How do I access this beta, then?

Right click on your game in steam, go to "properties", then navigate to the "betas" tab and select e1.1.0

Bannerlord needs the ability to conspire to and declare a revolt against a policy or the ruler like CK II

Posted: 14 Apr 2020 03:42 AM PDT

Derhert has amassed massive amounts of influence. He votes in his favour for everything, even if the council is against it. He's done it with fiefs too. In any real kingdom, his lieges would be piiiissed off at what a dick he is.

He just passed through Sacred Majesty. I said fuck this bastard, found Rhaega's army (who we are at war with), left the kingdom with my fiefs and went over to declare allegiance to her.

Now I lost my influence (only a 1000 tho), pissed off all my Vlandian friends, and am sandwiched between their territory. I would've preferred to stay within the Kingdom but convince my friends to rebel against him.

Also we need ways to drive a wedge between characters, like trying to make the King impopular so that you have more support because in the end the King always ends up as buddies with everyone since he exerts a lot of influence in any decision.

Or just, fuck it, a revolt to make yourself the King if the King is impopular enough. Would add a lot more weight to politics in the game. It would also force the King to exert a lot of influence to try and prevent uprisings

�� All Bannerlord wanderers/companions

Posted: 14 Apr 2020 03:58 AM PDT

⚠️ ANNOUNCEMENT

While editing my previous post, I bumped against the 40,000 characters limit, which was unknown to me. I decided to take the following course of action: to avoid encountering the character limit again, I split the wanderers/companions and marriage prospects post into 2 separate ones, with "Bannerlord" in the title for SEO reasons. Furthermore, instead of maintaining posts for each branch, the active posts will be dedicated to the beta branch, with a snapshot of the main branch values accessible for download if pertinent.

Up to date as of beta e1.1.0; editing in progress, pardon my dust...

e1.0.10 snapshot^{temporarily redirects to the post}

PLEASE READ THE FAQ BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION.

The purpose of this post is to provide pertinent information about all of Bannerlord's potential companions. Efforts will be made to keep it up to date, and expand on its information.

Currently present are the 64 wanderer templates found in spspecialcharacters.xml. Table contents are limited to the most gameplay impacting information, so some data, like traits, may be absent. Please note that due to a bug, characters have a couple more skill points scattered in some skills than listed here. This may also cause the levels to vary by 1.

If you're looking for a specific character or skill, press ctrl+f and input what you're after to save yourself some time.

FAQ

For any question about spawns, refer to u/kriffin's explanation of wanderer spawning mechanics.
What does X skill/role do?
You can easily figure this out by accessing the character tab and looking at the description of a skill's passives and perks. Some require the character to be assigned a role, such as scout or surgeon, while others require them to be leading the party. Some merely require them to be in your party to take effect.
The encyclopedia says that I can find a wanderer in X town, but he's not there...
Location information for wanderers you have never met is based on rumors, and isn't reliable.
I found a wanderer, but he doesn't have the same skills as in your tables...
Some wanderers have identical nicknames but different cultures and skills; in which case, culture is indicated in parentheses to differentiate them.

[Suggestion] Bandit hideouts - revamp suggestion

Posted: 14 Apr 2020 03:13 AM PDT

Do we like the current bandit hideout mechanics?

Personally I never liked them. I did not like them in M&B Warband, but I do get why they were there. They added a feature, it was a new game, the mechanics were unproven and so it remained.

What I do not understand is why they copy/pasted it from Warband and into Bannerlord without any changes at all. Now we see mods added where you can attack the hideouts with as many troops as you want, or set a limit yourself on how many you can bring.

A couple reasons why I don't like the way the Bandit Hideouts are implemented:

Fighting 25++ Mountain Bandits with bows or Sea Raiders with javs using only 8-10 random guys from your troop is not fun at all. Especially not if your guys (and yourself) don't have shields. Basically gatekeeping 2H playstyle.
There is really no stealth mechanics in this game so why have a feature that supposedly relies on stealth (ambush)? You can get close to enemies if you crouch, but your soldiers won't crouch and get spotted straightaway anyways.
The rewards for clearing them is rather meh. Sometimes you get a decent item, but you are better off doing other stuff anyways.
They frequently pop up as quests in villages which means I simply end up not doing village quests because, well, I dislike the bandit hideout mechanics that much.

Here's my suggestion on how to revamp them into something more useful and more aligned with the game (i.e. no stealth mechanics).

First thing I'd like to see changed is the name itself. Rather than "Bandit Hideout" lets call it "Bandit Lair". Reason for that will become clear below.
Instead of an ambush attack and stealth thing I suggest we change this to be a mini-siege / battle. Basically a baby-brother to the actual castle and city sieges. A sort of simplified siege mechanic which will allow the players (especially new ones) to experience a soft introduction to siege mechanics and how attacking a fortified position works.
The Bandit Lair will be a simplified version of the regular sieges and as such the Bandit Lair will have:
- a simple makeshift wooden wall, perhaps in a semi-circle around the entrance to a cave so it protects and encloses the cave itself.
- a gate in the wall that can be breached to get inside.
- an inner gate at the entrance of the cave to break down for the final attack.
The wall will have a simple gate that can be beaten down by your troops and 2 or 3 ladders that can be raised to climb over the walls. Could also have something like a battering ram that is carried by your troops (basically just a large piece of lumber carried by 4 or 6 guys) instead of the large, wheeled battering ram you build in regular sieges.
Once you breach the gate or get over the walls you have one final barrier; a gate that leads into the bandit cave itself. Break down this gate and you have a final stand against the bandits inside, including the bandit boss (simply because I love that there is a "miniboss" in the Bandit Hideouts, which is one of the things they got right with it).
Outside of the walls there could still be the same small campfires and such, and some scattered bandits you encounter as you move forward towards the lair itself, which allows for the player to do some troop management by sending some men to deal with the small camps while main force pushes forward.

So why Bandit Lair "mini-sieges"?

First off, having this mini-siege feature rather than the stealth mechanic is more aligned with what you will be doing in the game later on. This way you are getting a softer learning curve towards the actual sieges and know a bit better what to expect.

Secondly, this would also allow you to have some fun using just your own army. Especially in the early stages of the game when you can't command enough troops to besiege a castle or city and you don't have enough influence to form an army these Bandit Lairs would still let you have some fun using your own warband, as well as doing something different from just regular field battles and chasing down looters.

Thirdly, depending on how / if they are adding more fleshed out criminal / banditry features in the game (e.g. the Roguery skills, the gang leaders in the cities et.c.), these Bandit Lairs could become a small base of operations that you could capture and hold. Then adding your own ~~troops~~ bandits as ~~garrison~~ guards to look after the ~~stolen~~ procured trade goods you stash in the Lair. This could even extend to an illegal goods gameplay where items stolen from caravans or villagers would be "marked" and thus not able to sell on regular market, so you'd have to use the gang leaders to fence your goods.

So this is some of the stuff I could think off while sitting here in these quarantine days where I'm supposed to work from home, but I'd rather share this suggestion with you all.

What do you think?

Would this be a fun way to revamp the Bandit Hideouts? Any other suggestions/alterations?

Also I would like to add, as a final note in case the above suggestion is over the top;

Bandit Lairs could also be a new / extended feature. Leave Bandit Hideouts are they are today, but reduce the max number of enemy troops that are inside of them and also change it so they are not all exclusively Robin Hood and his band of merry archers but add some mixed in melee bandits there. Then you'd still do the regular stealth attack with a few men, but it would be less painful to go there.

The Bandit Lairs would be "upgraded" Bandit Hideouts. If a hideout is left alone for too long it will continue to grow as more and more bandit groups roam the area as well as the groups getting bigger. Eventually you get a Bandit Lair somewhere in the area to clear out.

Up to date as of beta e1.1.0 ; editing in progress, pardon my dust...

PLEASE READ THE FAQ BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION.

The purpose of this post is to provide pertinent information about all of Bannerlord's marriageable maidens and suitors. Efforts will be made to keep it up to date, and expand on its information.

Currently present are all 24 marriageable maidens, with suitors to follow soon^TM. Table contents are limited to the most gameplay impacting information, so some data, like traits, may be absent. Please note that due to a bug, characters have a couple more skill points scattered in some skills than listed here. This may also cause the levels to vary by 1.

If you're looking for a specific character or skill, press ctrl+f and input what you're after to save yourself some time.

Let me know if you notice any mistakse.

FAQ

What does X skill/role do?
You can easily figure this out by accessing the character tab and looking at the description of a skill's passives and perks. Some require the character to be assigned a role, such as scout or surgeon, while others require them to be leading the party. Some merely require them to be in your party to take effect.
Why haven't you listed traits?
It appears they don't do much yet.
Why haven't you listed attributes and focus points?
It appears they're randomly distributed.
