FAQ
>When is Bannerlord coming out?
They still haven't mentioned a date but they're still frequently updating their blog
>How do I become a lord?
Find a kingdom at war and repeatedly ask the king to give you tasks, eventually he'll ask you to become a mercenary and you can participate in big battles as well as raid villages/caravans without losing reputation. This will give you the resources and renown you need to eventually become a lord, ask the king when you have 200+ renown and he'll grant you a fief.
>How do I make money?
If you already have money find the guild master in each city and start a productive enterprise there, usually velvet is the most profitable but costs 10K denars to start up.
If you don't have money but are a mercenary/lord raid caravans and villages from the kingdom you're at war with.
If you don't have money and aren't a mercenary/lord head to the coast near Rivacheg and fight sea raiders, sell all of their equipment. You can make a little more by using blunt weapons if you have prisoner management, sell them to slavers at taverns.
>What are the best units?
Nord Huscarls are the best infantry, Rhodok Sharpshooters are best ranged units, Swadian Knights and Sarranid Mamlukes are the best heavy cavalry, and Khergit Veteran Horse Archers are the best mounted ranged units. Vaegir units are all good but they aren't really the best at anything. Also, they're all more powerful than their wages suggest which means they're a waste in autocalc, so if you're looking to stock up a castle with a bunch of men to deter invaders while you're away just give it a ton of recruits/peasants/etc.
What modules do you use? I'm looking for one that doesn't add a ton of bloat but keeps the variety of native. Floris adds a ton of unnecessary equipment, much of which looks the same, while Viking Conquest/1257AD/Gekokujo have the issue where all the environments and factions look similar on unnecessarily gigantic maps. TLD is cool but it's quite limited compared to the base game, there's not much to do other than fight in the war.
