      Leave cloth physics on if you can, they add a lot of realism and don't impact performance much for me (and my cpu is from 2012). Definitely set the ragdoll limit though, you won't notice any higher than 3-5 and it will tank your performance.

      BattleAI is way worse than shown off, sieges are only half ass implemented, everything is unbalanced, half the perks don't work at all, all the npc faces/face animations look disgusting, not enough quests, no freelancer, being a mercenary needs fixing, villages you conquer are bugged, can't create own kingdom, main story doesn't work, only 1% of voice acting done, factions still snowballing the entire map, cavalry combatAI is still shit (cant use spears/polearms properly) etc. etc.

      @@xensonar9652 Yeah the patches have been coming thick and fast, almost one per day, each one fixing major problems like crashes and bugs that stop you being able to complete quests, adding armour and weapons into the game and stuff. The biggest one for me was yesterday when they finally added experience gain from tournaments. For 10 years my beginning moved in Mount and Blade are to travel around the world fighting in tournaments to make money and a name for myself - I love starting out like that, but there didn't seem to be much point when you can't develop your fighting skills from the tournament. Now you can :D

    You should put your archers infront, as they now automatically skirmish backwards as the enemy gets close. They are also more hesitant to shoot over friendly troops.
    This is how it was done in real life, archers were too the front, they would fire a couple of volleys and the infantry would move forward and envelop the archers back to the rear.

    How can you call it Bannerlord and not have flag carriers in your army? If they added company banners and give you the ability to designate morale/give orders via flags (like they used to in the olden times) that would be a great bonus. Imagine having the ability to give orders based on what flags your army has left - including the ability to pick it up yourself to rally your troops - then carrying it on your horse and charging forward. Another suggestion is to add musicians like buglers and drummers to give orders. I think you gave a review about a Napoleonic war game and there you said the ability to give orders is based on getting messengers or officers to actually deliver messages to other parts of your army. Maybe these 2 suggestions are too ambitious but so far the game looks very promising so far and I agree with your review.

I haven't looked into it much yet, but seems like Taleworlds has made tools and modding even more powerful for creators too!
    In today's game environment where so many studios are becoming restrictive with such things, I'm thankful Bannerlord is shaping up to be more than I had hoped and supporting the mod community, the mods were have already is amazing for alpha, and the full conversions coming I know will just blow me away.
