Yes, pixels have feelings too....I think I may go back to letting the kids help in the medical tents. If my settlement is going to die anyway at least I can do it with a clear conscience

Have you seen Free Guy yet? Ruins the ability to enjoy video games... reminds me of "Photons, be Free" in Star Trek VOY.Yes, pixels have feelings too....
I don't play GTA or the like, but then I don't tend to be evil in games anyway.
(Other than Star Wars or Mass Effect, but that's part of the fun.)
I like to play a peaceful GTA game now and again, take a taxi ride and see if I make it to my destination, or steal a a sports plane and try to make a perfect landing on the horse race track, invite people to a friendly game of golf,
but usually you get shot anyway
The Battle engine is still awesome, which is the heart of the game, but I cant say the sum of all the parts is awesome. I think Taleworlds was wildly over ambitious which gives us too many new features that aren't fully fleshed out, think jack of all trades master of none. I think they have a manpower issue, as in not enough game designers/ personnel to complete the vision of the game they have. That being said I have sunk a lot of hours into that game and I am in the process of downloading the current patch and will start a new game soon. In the end I'll always support innovative Indie designers over their triple a counterparts.If any Warband enjoyers have yet to try Bannerlord, I recommend giving it a go. TW didn't live up to some of their hype, but its battle system is, IMO, deeper. You can do more with formations in the field, sieges are improved upon, and the character skill tree allows for more role play IMO.
I like the skill tree, clan and army system much better. It rewards development. My previous character hand developed his family into extremely capable party leaders I kept in my army permanently, each with impactful medical and logistical capabilities on the strategic level. My companions, and my character, had savage personal fighting prowess, and nicely in Bannerlord, this gives stat boosts to troop formations you create and assign them to captaincy of on the tactical battlefield. Your training is consequently more impactful than simply leveling trainer, quickly going top tier and calling it a day, like Warband. A force with capable captains with well planned bonuses can potentially overcome more vaunted units. Jeremus, I love ya, but you're not the new meta.
Cultures are interesting, too. I usually stick with Vlandia, inspired by the Normans of Sicily, but they're all well-thought IMO. Somehow, even the clearly ERE inspired, distinctly weighty pre-Manzikert Rhomaioi Imperials are earning a tinge of regret as I destroy their empire, despite my harsh anti-Roman bias. I have never supported any of them in 15+ campaigns, but I'm tempted to, and in my own RP, the first thing my current character has done after being elected Khuzait Khan(you can now become ruler, potentially, of an existing kingdom, btw) was to consciously assimilate into Imperial culture in attempt to draw legitimacy for planned conquest of said Empire, even changing his own name, Hellenizing it, for the effort.
I really appreciate that you post every week that you'll never play this game again because you'd rather do literally anything else, and then you post a new screenshot days later.The world in 1871:

It's just after the Franco-Prussian war, but France already had been reduced to nothing due to supporting Savoy in trying to get Sardinia back. That war (on one side France and Savoy, on the other myself, Spain and my italian sphere, which is Papal States and Tuscany and Sardinia) started literally days after I had declared against the OE so as to fulfill the Megale Idea and annex western Anatolia. So it was quite frustrating. But in the end it didn't matter because my navy defeated France (no surprise there, I have modern ships) and although ultimately France overrun northern Italy (this cost us Modena being released at Tuscany's expence- it had annexed it in a previous war against Savoy) and then Spain being overrun (this ended with white peace), I allied Austria-Hungary, they entered the war and obliterated everything (partly because France sent its armies in Algeria and then couldn't move them back due to the blockade).
I am currently 4 in the major power list. Curiously CSA not only survived but now became the 8th great power (this possibly won't last, but who knows) while US is 5. I did open diplomatic relations with the CSA, since I don't want the US to become out of control (though Britain and Germany already are, and Russia can be).
Yes. It is pretty awful.I really appreciate that you post every week that you'll never play this game again because you'd rather do literally anything else, and then you post a new screenshot days later.
