    FAQ

    • 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 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?

    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. 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.

    There's issues with doing this in the beta branch currently, mods like Kingdom Color Changer can be used as a substitute.

    • 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 the current beta patch number.

    Is Istiana the only voice-acted NPC? She just scared the crap out of me.

    Posted: 03 May 2020 02:58 AM PDT

    So I'm sitting here, 12ish hours into a Bannerlord session. It's night, my house is completely dark and silent.

    I turned the music off in the game 10 hours ago to watch a youtube video and forgot to turn it back on. When I'm not in battle it's very quiet, just me and the sweet hum of procrastination.

    I finally get to move along the main questline and talk to Istiana, the city she's in has been hostile for ages.

    "DO YOU HAVE A PIECE OF THE DRAGON BANNER?" comes booming out of my speakers.

    I pooped my pants a little bit.

    Robin Hood's band celebrate another victory in the autumn forest

    Posted: 03 May 2020 04:21 AM PDT

    Much better

    Posted: 03 May 2020 05:22 AM PDT

    Probably my biggest problem with Bannerlord so far...

    Posted: 03 May 2020 08:34 AM PDT

    So the new world really feels alive, however, there is one way in which Warband's world is even more so. In Bannerlord, it feels like nobles can't keep still. They rarely chill in castles, or cities, mainly because they have no reason to. In warband, they would stop in towns and castles for them and their men to rest. It made the world feel more immersive. On top of that, they had feasts. Feasts were events that many lords would come to to talk about what's going on in the realm during peace time, and these feasts were usually accompanied by big tournaments that the attending lords competed in. You really felt like a real part of the kingdom in warband when you come to one of these and ask other nobles who the latest castle taken should go to. Another problem is how easily factions are taken over, and I think it's due to the armies system. Pretty much anyone can make an army in Bannerlord, and a faction can have several at a time just sneaking by and taking over castles and settlements. I liked the marshal system much better, because it made conquest much more slow, realistic, and immersive.

    I don't know if they are fixing this or not, but I hope they do.

    The Witcher in Bannerlord

    Posted: 03 May 2020 09:00 AM PDT

    TW please bring this Helmet back to Bannerlord!

    Posted: 02 May 2020 08:46 PM PDT

    Nice catch

    Posted: 02 May 2020 01:42 PM PDT

    Why is nobles and their castle abandonment syndrome still a thing?

    Posted: 03 May 2020 05:43 AM PDT

    Venting post about getting my first castle. So I lost the castle I initially received because I was out trying to woo Arwa while the damned Imperials were laying siege to my castles (Never again will I do that. Holds over hoes my friends)

    So now I have been on a quest to find myself another castle. We were at war with the Southern Empire. We took the castle, and then BOOM our entire army of 400 dudes just fucks off while there is literally a 500 man Imperial army within a 6 hours ride from the castle.

    It wouldn't be so maddening if siege battles weren't tilted in the attackers favour (even though it should be the opposite. Seriously who had the time to put up those palisades and ladder IN MISSILE RANGE?!?). For the time being I'm just gonna have to cheese the sieges (retreat as soon as the Imperial scum reach my walls)

    But seriously Taleworlds, please make the nobles actually care about holding the castles they took just 5 seconds ago

    Should there be a way to mass recruit mercenaries in bannerlord, or maybe training grounds?

    Posted: 03 May 2020 03:21 AM PDT

    I've been thinking that there should be more uses for having lots of money than buying ridiculously overpriced armor and weapons. What about a way to buy mercenary companies?

    The whole thing of running round recruiting as many villagers as possible and then chasing looters is starting to get really old(might just be me?), I feel more ways of building armies would be a lot more fun. Some other ideas would be poaching soldiers from other lords, or maybe even renting them from them?

    I think training grounds would be a cool new addition as well, not just like warband but a way to pitch full on mock battles(with wooden swords and stuff of course), or maybe even just practice skirmishes. I think this would be a really cool and fun way to build armies, and could cause enemy lords to have more seasoned soldiers in their armies. Obviously there should be diminished returns after a certain upgrade since actual battle experience would be more valuable.

    What do you guys think of my ideas? I was just getting a bit frustrated cos I had no way to spend the masses of denars I was making, these ideas could be stupid but I'd love to hear other people's thoughts!
