The biggest diffrence between the 2 is the lack of social interactions with the NPCS in Bannerlord. No feasts, no courting a lady, no dialogues, no companion talking to you, etc.
I never engaged too much in that aspect, but I will admit that it is worse in bannerlord. Although companions can and do die, as well as take part in the clan system, so they probably could not do too much more. Still, would've been nice to have a bit more dialogue with them.
All of that stuff is pretty easy to code and can be added in the last days of EA. After all the game is stable etc. The only question is will they. Most of the fluff stuff very simple to add. So much so that even unexperienced modders could do it.
I saw a post on the mount and blade subreddit where someone found a companion named “Jeremos the Surgeon”, which I think is the closest we’re getting to a Jeremus bloodline.
Sieges in warband was why I exclusively played the Nords. Nord Huscarls made the hell that was shuffling and pushing to get on the ladder almost meaningless because of just how quickly Nords slaughtered the defenders the moment they scaled the walls, making ladder traffic flow pretty fast
@@yousifosama4414 Yeah and its like that for every castle in Warband. Some use asiege tower instead but with the exact same mechanic as the ladder, except you gotta waste troops to push this slow ass tower up a hill so that you can climb up one singular ladder from said siege tower, just like every other regular ladder, all whilst preying to God your shield doesn't break from the archer spam. God it's so bad it's one of the few times in the game where I just auto resolve
@@timk8869 oh alright yeah anyways i wasn even long pressing it so my mistake. thanks for this comment btw like fr i have lost so many troops because idk how to do the flag thing 💀
I struggle a bit playing bannerlord and warband. Every time I play one, I keep thinking about what the other did better. Bannerlord improved so much, but warband is a more complete experience.
Except of that, its stupid to complain about the graphics because its looking great and Taleworld isnt such a big company lile ubisoft, ea, ... and this is one thing, what I love about TW
Yeah ikr, graphics is not the main issue for bannerlord. Furthermore imo graphics is not what makes mount and blade such a great game, it's more about the mechanism, the feel of freedom to do whatever i want, be a king, a vassal, a mercenary, and all that. And mods, mods are what makes warband great, and i hope the same for bannerlord.
I don't care, I still love warband. it never let me down. mount and blade as a franchise didn't let me down nor disappoint me like other bigger franchises. Bannerlord is obviously better in many technical ways but I still enjoy warband,s combat and don't think it's bad. its funny how bannerlord is a prequel but it's good. I hope in a few years we get a sequel as well, then we'll meet again the warband factions but more advanced in time and with better gameplay. if that happens some day we will really feel nostalgia hahaha and cry while looking at some ruins or whatever
I only have war and bc I have a console and I am doing a campaign it’s fun to do but I also wish I had bannerlord it just seems so much better to me but now that a bunch of people are saying they have memories I kinda understand
u can also actualy go into the warband folder and make it so that u can have a 1000 troops on the field without downloading a mod, although it runs a bit worse
There's no excuse for it, other than saying Early Access. The Warband heroes were all static characters with fixed stories, but even the dynamic list that generates with every new campaign could still add stories to its characters. Hopefully it's something they add before too long.
The characters in your party in WB also have no personality. They have a handful of shitty exposition. Everything is lifeless and you’re superimposing your own narrative on top of it but you’re not perceptive enough to notice apparently. Everything in warband is hot garbage besides the core gameplay.
@@bignasty389 Well, everything in the games before this one was just an excuse for the core gameplay. Even this one is, currently, mostly about the core combat and command mechanics, which are fleshed out with stuff from the mods. With the dynastic stuff and the inclusion of a perk system that boosts all kinds of things, Bannerlord has a chance to break away from the core, if that's what they want to do. A chance to add more to the game. That being said, we could definitely do with the companions being further fleshed out. One can hope that the traits system helps push us in that direction.
@@bignasty389 Yes, it must be my perception that is in error here, although it did seem to me as though the people in the party had an opinion on certain things that I did in WB where as they have no issues with anything I do in BL. Superficial as it was, that part of the game did help gameplay and immersion and BL would greatly gain with any depth of play other than simply being battle after battle, after battle. I was truly expecting better characters in my party in BL than in Viking Invasion considering how much time has passed. I was disappointed.
Warband does have banners for order placements. While you're giving the order, hold down the key instead of tapping and a banner to place down will appear and that indicates the center of the ordered line.
Warband has so many mods that you practically can make your own game out of it that makes it so good and i also think that in a year or 2 bannerlord will have the same amount of good mods and then it will be better than warband
The armor in warband looks cooler imo, there was voice acting for encounters even tho it was bad it had charm, I loved being a 1 man army and wiping out hundreds solo with 2 handed weapon spam (you can still kinda do this but need really high athletics), the blocking felt a lot more snappy, obviously this is less realistic but who cares if it's more fun. The characters can look straight up creepy in Bannerlord sometimes probably because they look more realistic , I hate when they smile, at best in warband characters looked stupid, at worst they looked goofy, never creepy which also gives more charm points. Bannerlord has more to offer but is lacking a good few things to be the true successor to warband imo.
now look back at mount and blade 1, non warband. Also check out viking conquest and blood and gold caribean Edit: also fire and sword, explain why no one gives a shit about that game
Fire and sword feels weird man, in a way I enjoyed it, but I don't know if it's the setting or what, but doesn't really stick to you. I guess having all those cool mods to play on Warband makes it very hard for a game like With Fire and Sword. I always had something better or more fun to do on Warband instead.
honestly it was my first game in Steam from Torrent as early young age decided to support & bought but to spent 20$ via SteamGiftCard which at that time really hard for other-region to obtain USA-balance I remember had to spent times of digging PTC website to get a reward for USA giftcard. Now 5 years just past i can still proudly say it totally worth your gaming exp. :)
i think the skill system could be better, but it's a downgrade, it was simple but more effective, bannerlord skill system bring some interesting ideas, but it is hella slower to improve and the actual skill points do not bring any improve to your character.
@@graan1802 the entire concept of bannerlords "learning by doing" system is flawed. if i want my character to be better at say horse archery i want to invest a point in it and feel the impact not grind archery for the next 5 hours and riding for the next 500
The points are SUPPOSED to improve your character on their own, but it might not be working yet. A lot of the perks don't work yet, and they aren't marked as such. If you read the tool tips for each skill, it tells you what effect you're supposed to be seeing at your current level.
I wonder if the mod you're talking about is "Feel the Hit". I'm really enjoying that one. Your weapon strikes stop when they hit an enemy and it feels more solid.
Realistic Weapon Collision was the first mod, but it didn't get updated to new versions, so Feel the Hit was made to replace, and improve on it. There is no impact mod. He's probably just confusing collision with impact.
Honestly, watching him trying to command his troops, makes me wish he had more experience with the warband command system. Granted, it is dated and difficult at first, but with anything warband gave, was always that feeling. The markers are shown as to where you're placing your troops by holding F1. I personally, like both. But I would admit, I know more of the warband system than I do of the bannerlord system.
I don't think he quite understands what M&B and Warband is. It is the first of its kind. It set the bar, the foundation for what would come after. When I first heard of M&B the graphics weren't the best, but that's not what I was after. I was after the gameplay. I was after commanding an army like total war, but also being my own character on the battlefield who could join in or stay behind at will. A game where you actually had to block and attack directionally. I remember the first time I went on multiplayer people laughed at me, because nobody plays autoblock in multiplayer except for a very few mods. It opened up the game to a whole new world of skill-based fun. You could be totally naked and with a shitty starter sword in multiplayer and still you could kill a player full plate with the best weapon if you were good.
System is so Basic, so Simple to learn and it works, just takes a few tries for anyone rly can do it, even first time players, you dont even need to wory about types formations, just drag the giant flag thingy ;) but well some ppl just on open battle just do the swadian charge thing, and I guess Thats how they enjoy it. And on sieges they just get frustaded w a Simple ladder, cause they ,again, dnt Control their own troops, anyways, thnk the gods its a sandbox and u can play many other styles and actual use some Simple tactics :)
@@The_Gallowglass yeah the default auto block was a very shitty habbit many of us just got used to it, Also like u, Only after checking multiplayer I Started to play WB always w directional blocking, now..... thatbeeing Said i just wished i did That years ago cause i still suck at both singleplayer and multiplayer combat :D and can Only block a couple times but its satisfiyng wen iam able to Pull off
My favorite Warband mod is Viking Conquest. I feel like it took Warband to another level, especially graphically. It also has, in my opinion at least, a more interesting range of troop types and storylines than vanilla Warband (which I also enjoyed).
@@jackievarughese3945 It is a Warband module that is accessed from the Warband opening screen.. Regardless, my point is that the graphics, etc., were a great improvement and I enjoyed it.
I still play this game when I am not playing Bannerlord for just good old time sakes but in my opinion on the game is still good to me and I still enjoy the game so much and fun fact, if you hold F1 when you are commanding an army then you can tell your men exactly to hold position instead of running all the way where you want your men to hold.
Was thinkin that we even had this feature on consoles but hadn't played M&B on PC until Bannerlord, so was surprised by that. It's a "hold" element on consoles too and many players don't seem to know about it - seems to be the beauty of M&B; always something to learn and some other way of doing things. Not necessarily a more effective way, just an other way. Think it's the only issue with a the EA (for me) - they never tell us how things are meant to work, so we can't report something that isn't "working as intended" when half the time we don't know if it's a feature or a bug - equally I imagine they're getting tons of reports and tickets raised about things that are elements of mechanics but haven't been explained. Think the automatic couched lance thing was an option, like auto-block (easy mode) - quite amusing seeing how the different streamers remember the game relative to their mods and settings.
@@thatrandomeliteultra1158 Think it's the D-pad buttons (right direction with my setup), the ones we use to issue the orders. Most press and let go to issue the order, just dont let go and the flag should pop up
vaegir marksmen my dude, I used to siege castles and towns by standing 50 of them outside with nords standing close to absorb enemy archers, everyone is dead in a couple minutes. Same works in the field, mix some sharpshooters in that archer line and you're bringing warband into ww1. Lines of people and horses just fall over and die.
@@Burner.Account.. I did a test once and found the sarranids to be more effective and more of a 'sharpshooter', at least at range. Maybe that was just my luck, but I destroyed with them in one campaign
@@battlez9577 ya but that's why you just upgrade border villages and grab and run or at least stay near shariz...most desert bandits are further in near durbouque
Even as someone who loved Warband... The sieges in Warband cause me actual physical pain. Warband has character can't deny it but Bannerlord has more polish that I appreciate more.
did you know warband is available on console? thats how i was introduced to it, and thats how i got used to it. and if you're wondering how it plays, trust me... so do i. its so weird, but i love it.
It’s fun for awhile, but the base game just has zero depth to it whatsoever. The console release was just a way to milk console players for money. They still have no plans to release any dlcs or even fix the multiplayer.
I think bannerlords biggest flaw is the setting. It lacks the heavy plated knigts that define high mediaval games, but it also lacks the vikings wich is what I like most about the early mediaval time it plays in.
Also this might be controvercial, but I miss Woman not having equal status to man, it does not only add realism, but also gave a reason to play a woman.
@@BJaca-tn3om Have to agree with you there. I love Warband a lot more, and not just for nostalgia. I got into the franchise very recently and have found myself playing Warband more than Bannerlord.
There is two things i hate in warband. Its the fact that when you die you battle in retreat that the worst thing. Second thing its that the enemies focus you.
He mentioned being able to tell at a glance if you troops are wounded. I’m coming to bannerlord from the Total War style of RTS in which you can see everything. I really like the limited knowledge on the battlefield in bannerlord. You have to turn your camera and make out what’s happening from wherever you happen to be. It’s incredibly immersive to me. The only thing I don’t like is the inability to form up before a battle begins or train you army to follow a standard deployment template when engaging an enemy.
what’s crazy to me about warband, is it was made it what 2004? for a game from 2004 it has pretty decent graphics, the gameplay is fun as hell, the depth into the mechanics of the game from courting lady’s, to the relationship aspects to everyone kinda having their own personality. the random events and feeling like you’re truly a mercenary, vassal, caravan, or starting your own kingdom. the game was truly ahead of its time and is an absolute classic. i’m so happy it came to xbox so i was able to play it again. i hadn’t played since my childhood at my buddy’s house when we would spend 24 hour stretches just rampaging calradia. i’ve now gotten 4 city’s taken, about 8 castles, and god knows how many villages under my command. a
He's talking about how Bannerlord shows you exactly where your men will stand rather than just the center of the formation, so you can fine tune placements
My mans complains about balance, but earlier in the video he showed he was on the easiest difficulty for warband XD. As well, saying "warband doesnt hold up as a 10/10 over a decade later" is such an unremarkable and obvious thing to say. Find me one game from pre 2013 that looks anything but UGLY compared to today. Warband when it came out was revolutionary, an amazing game. Today, its still a great time. Comparing it to its sequel is like comparing the original Jurassic park and the new movies and whining that the Ogs dont look as good, its honestly kinda strange to even draw that comparison in the first place.
I'd much rather play Prophecy of Pendor than Bannerlord. As far as fun factor goes, PoP wins hands down, and that's the most important part imo. Even if there's a PoP2 for bannerlord, I think PoP1 will be more fun. I love the balance and core mechanics. When I see Bannerlord mods, I think, "that's cool". Unfortunately looking cool doesn't translate to fun.
@@punjivr and me, as someone with over 3k hours in warband mp, and nearly 300 in bannerlord, I can say differently. The entire native community has already returned from bannerlord, they have repopulated wbmm and nw events
@@punjivr i agree with that, many don’t. as of right now the melee animations and mechanics are very bad, compared to warband. i’m a nw player, and i believe a bannerlord nw would be nothing but a replica of holdfast
There is just this nostalgic and indescribable feeling while playing warband. And although many people dislike the graphics, I oddly like it... Also the modding scene is so great
Nah the historical setting and the factions were waaaayyyy better in warband. The graphic of warband is really mothing compared to bannerlord but I really hate the factions and setting of bannerlord.
Warband with mods is still vastly superior to Bannerlord in it's incomplete state IMO. A few years from now I'd expect Bannerlord to be a lot better though, the better combat alone will put it above Warband as long as the rest of the game doesn't stay as incomplete as it is. Comparing vanilla to vanilla Bannerlord already takes the cake though, even though vanilla Warband is still a great game.
Warband villages too let you recruit better units, as u improve your relations with those villages. In warband, if you hold F1 key, it lets you order your troops to move to designated place, without beein in that place yourself. Just like in Bannerlord.
I think warband had more to offer in terms of roleplay, enhanced diplomacy mods and the ability to join an army as a footsoldier. (not vanilla) 1 We also had multi area sieges, take the wall, take the town, take the keep. (loved that despite the single ladders) More edicts for controlling your kingdom that actually do something. Perhaps the ability to purchase real estate, have a squire, ability to make camp and make council with yor companions, random gang warfare, policing (being able to pick a side) ability to completely destroy towns, castles and villages. Kill Lords on the battlefield (rather than after having to execute them) I have so much more to add. I wish I knew how to mod bannerlord
Yes. There is no question. I'm still trying to work through Warsword, Le'aigle, Last Days of Third Age and Gekokujo Havent even touched Pendor yet. I've never been king of Caldaria either. I figure I have another 2k hours+ of gameplay left outside of multiplayer.
Warband's music and historical theme/setting was on point. Also, the community driven multiplayer was somehow just much better. note: i live in australia, so i get 250 ping on every server i join, and its absolutely unplayable.
I just played some warband before this video purely for the mods. And boy.. It still has such a charm. I still like it more than bannerlord purely due to the current mods both games have.
I prefer old fighting system because it was more skill based then now , i like the animation when you go for a second swing in bannerlord but idk for me old system feels a lot better
Bannerlord suffers the “Second Game Syndrome”. It's clearly one improved game, but not one Improved Warband. It lacks great features that could more easily give identity to what people wanted. And that's actually pretty common as usually the developers and the community doesn't share a deep communication. They focused on what they thought we would like, and they did it good - but they ended up by not improving on what we loved. Warband experience is deeper what they could achieve trough “Make sieges better” or “Make battles better” - Warband is also the charm and the threads trough all the game. As bad as people could think they where, the feasts, the NPCs, the society, they gave identity to the game. And plenty of that, for many, in Warband - and everyone will be happy at the end of the playthrough. Now, I do think that's a second game problem because now they have data from both games. What they should ask themselves next is “What is great in Bannerlord and what people like better in Warband?” - and the Third game will be the greatest of them all. As long as EA keep their hands out of it.
This video makes me so happy. After playing the souls series, I stopped being able to enjoy games, as they could never match it. But Warband is my new favorite game and I love it. And to know that Bannerlord is so much better makes me so excited, since it’s announced to be coming to consoles!
My issue with Bannerlord is trade. I loved establishing trade routes in Warband, Fire and Sword and mods like A Song of Ice and Fire, but in Bannerlord I feel like running around like a headless chicken for days only to barely make a profit.
After almost 400 hours in Bannerlord, going back to warband was really weird. The combat feels too clunky and not responsive, the horses feel artificial, battle maps can be horrendous, but the campaign and mods are as great as I remember it (with a few exceptions). Recruiting troops can be too op in warband, but fun. Skills aren't as fleshed out as Bannerlord's, but allow for crazy op characters Maintaining high troop count in warband can be a major chore and pain in the ass Dialogue, quests, and other characters are so much better though in Warband though. The companions are memorable in warband, but the total opposite in Bannerlord.
@@punjivr Swords are not heavy. Watch any HEMA fight and look at the speed. Warband's movements were faster and, in my opinion, better in that regard. The character animations were clunky, yes, and in Bannerlord they were improved. The feel, however, is much worse for me.
You can actually place your troops to a specific position without moving there yourself also in Warband, just select a units group with the number keys and then hold down the F1 button, a little flag will appear on the ground that you can move around, once you release the F1 key, your selected group will move to the position of the flag.
Warband Mod, "Warsword Conquest", allows you to play in a fully recreated world of Warhammer Fantasy. And this is just one of the mods. Thats only one of the reasons, why Warband will be forever.
The time periode bannerlord plays in is a problem, no heavy knights wich define mediaval times for a lot of people, and no vikings wich would histricaly be my pick for early mediaval times.
I know the game is outdated it's graphics are silly but damn ive been playing this game since I was a child, I used to play back when u spawned in zendar lol
I started playing again with new Blood Eagle Mod for VC, actually still pretty fun ! Hope Bannerlord will be finished in about a year, so I can start playing that again..
Agreed. Sargot can't be Sargoth. It's too far south and not the right culture. That being said, you could still make it work with some lore fixes. Have the city of Sargot fall, and have refugees move north to settle a new Sargot where Sargoth is. The Nords can conquer it when they invade, and rename it to Sargoth.
I just started playing bannerlord and idk man. I hate how you can’t run a village anymore only castles. They did get some dumb changes but overall good game
This is funny... I watched your "Old World" warhammer mod spotlight and it made me wistful for the Warsword Conquest mod for Warband. So I took a peek at it and found out it just came out with an update in the last couple of months. So I fired it up. I love Warband, but it just felt awkward after having not played it for a while.
I like the chest in the battle field. It has saved me several times. I also wish they would add the player bandit camps from fire and sword. Those were basically mini settlements you could build up anywhere on the map.
I purchased warband after I'd played Bannerlord for a good while. The ranged combat in Bannerlord is better, that's about it really. Maybe I'll think differently when Bannerlord has come along more, but I greatly prefer it's predecessor.
You should play blood and gold Caribbean, I randomly came across it and fell in love. Was always wanting a mod like it and I bet their are other out there who have yet had the chance to play it.
I agree on all the points you covered here. Most of the complaints I see about combat is that you can't just stomp anything by spamming cav in bannerlord (which if you can do that, I don't think it's really great balance. Also the game takes place before cavalry was as dominant as warband. I think it's also great that spears actually counter cav now) and that armor "does nothing" which the latter is false imo. But I think where bannerlord falls short is the kind of things you didn't touch on here. The politics, interactions with lords, long term playability, stuff like that. But we know that stuff is all in the pipeline, so I'm not too worried about it. There's some great stuff related to all that introduced in Bannerlord too (such as elections/policies/clans) but it still needs work. I've put off the latest few patcches waiting for 1.5.6, but still, I think Bannerlord is overall better and will be far superior with mods.
Almost popped a blood vessel trying to decipher which perk is less useless in bannerlord. Constantly checked steam guides, the works. Just dropped it and went for Warband. Might go for 2008 version just cause, idc about graphics, at least back then companies knew how to make AND FINISH a game
40% of the reason why I started playing Bannerlord was due to how the battles played out, mainly because of how fluid they were, and how you could navigate through your troops much easier, what I mean is that in warband, you literally struggle trying to push yourself through a single shieldwall of your troops, this is the same case of how every single soldier tries to squeeze theirself up a single ladder in a siege, and the player has to either go first in line for the ladder, or last, so they wouldn't have to go through the hassle of pushing through AI soldiers. The troops were collidable like CONCRETE, I tell ya. Unlike in bannerlord, whereas you can actually make room for yourself in battles with better troop collision, same goes for the horses as well.
Warband was great - ahead of its time. not sure its launch date. but its taken this long to remake the game and do it justice imo. its def better in bannerlord. it still needs some tweaks and fixes but as right now stock 0 mods either game bannerlord is better. imo. warband is still great game too though. i like how they didnt redo the game. they kept warband and just added some features. and im sure they will continue to add some quality of life features.
Bannerlord is fun, and Warband is fun. Bannerlord has big improvements over Warband but is also missing some features that Warband has, for example: the ability to create a CAMP. Seriously how did this feature not available in Bannerlord. Also, sneaking into enemy towns, and the ability to _fight your way out._ In Bannerlord, you're just thrown into prison no questions asked. The banners in Bannerlord are hella meh and don't live up to its namesake. The sounds in Warband are louder and more of them can be heard in the same time. I also kinda miss the battle minimap in Warband, but I understand Taleworld's choice not to include it in Bannerlord. Companions and even citizens in Warband are more interactive, you can talk to them and ask them about locations, politics, war stuff, etc. In Bannerlord, you're stuck with the main quest before you get to make your own kingdom, not so in Warband. Warband also has firearms in which you can make weapons mod of. These are just some to name a few. But Bannerlord, despite missing a lot of things, is still fun and- dare I say- better than Warband, at least in most cases. It's just the beginning of the journey for Bannerlord and I have high hopes for it.
I barely started playing warband (I don't have a pc) and I find it awesome! One thing I would love, is to find a game where its as this game is, but when you take a castle/town/ city, you can construct it certain ways depending on he level of investment or Denard you want to put into it
Auto-generated battle maps, I am sorry, I did not know your significance back then.
The biggest diffrence between the 2 is the lack of social interactions with the NPCS in Bannerlord. No feasts, no courting a lady, no dialogues, no companion talking to you, etc.
Yeah the companion in warband where unique, i feel that the companions in bannerlord are just there to be there
@@amaelthepault3298 until you send them off on caravans
I never engaged too much in that aspect, but I will admit that it is worse in bannerlord. Although companions can and do die, as well as take part in the clan system, so they probably could not do too much more. Still, would've been nice to have a bit more dialogue with them.
All of that stuff is pretty easy to code and can be added in the last days of EA. After all the game is stable etc.
The only question is will they. Most of the fluff stuff very simple to add. So much so that even unexperienced modders could do it.

And mods, mods are what makes warband great, and i hope the same for bannerlord.
Bannerlord has improved graphics, but how much better are the actual mechanics
Well a game that have the price 50$ you have big expectations for graphics, gameplay , and music
People were complaining about the graphics tf
I don't care, I still love warband. it never let me down. mount and blade as a franchise didn't let me down nor disappoint me like other bigger franchises. Bannerlord is obviously better in many technical ways but I still enjoy warband,s combat and don't think it's bad. its funny how bannerlord is a prequel but it's good. I hope in a few years we get a sequel as well, then we'll meet again the warband factions but more advanced in time and with better gameplay. if that happens some day we will really feel nostalgia hahaha and cry while looking at some ruins or whatever
I only have war and bc I have a console and I am doing a campaign it’s fun to do but I also wish I had bannerlord it just seems so much better to me but now that a bunch of people are saying they have memories I kinda understand
My worries are that Bannerlord has a worst general direction. It feels very bland and with some moronic core design decisions.
@@Daniel__Nobre hopefully it'll get better after a year or two
@@malahamavet yeah, hope so (I still love both games). But I do hope then, that they rethink some of the systems in place that no one asked for.
@@malahamavet it has gotten better
u can also actualy go into the warband folder and make it so that u can have a 1000 troops on the field without downloading a mod, although it runs a bit worse
@Tranhoang Long Who'd of thought a game that came out 10 years later could run large battles better than its counterpart rofl
@Tranhoang Long because it was made to that you moron. Also bannerlord is 12 years forward in technological advances.
@@MoamadTrashman Calm down princess. He wasn't being a dick, so you don't need to be one.

At least in WB my party had some personality, the BL hero’s are just yes men with no opinions of their own...
There's no excuse for it, other than saying Early Access. The Warband heroes were all static characters with fixed stories, but even the dynamic list that generates with every new campaign could still add stories to its characters. Hopefully it's something they add before too long.
The characters in your party in WB also have no personality. They have a handful of shitty exposition. Everything is lifeless and you’re superimposing your own narrative on top of it but you’re not perceptive enough to notice apparently.
Everything in warband is hot garbage besides the core gameplay.
@@bignasty389 Well, everything in the games before this one was just an excuse for the core gameplay. Even this one is, currently, mostly about the core combat and command mechanics, which are fleshed out with stuff from the mods. With the dynastic stuff and the inclusion of a perk system that boosts all kinds of things, Bannerlord has a chance to break away from the core, if that's what they want to do. A chance to add more to the game.
That being said, we could definitely do with the companions being further fleshed out. One can hope that the traits system helps push us in that direction.
@@bignasty389 Yes, it must be my perception that is in error here, although it did seem to me as though the people in the party had an opinion on certain things that I did in WB where as they have no issues with anything I do in BL. Superficial as it was, that part of the game did help gameplay and immersion and BL would greatly gain with any depth of play other than simply being battle after battle, after battle. I was truly expecting better characters in my party in BL than in Viking Invasion considering how much time has passed. I was disappointed.
@@lordflashheart3680 Your objection is noted. Now fall back in line.
Warband does have banners for order placements. While you're giving the order, hold down the key instead of tapping and a banner to place down will appear and that indicates the center of the ordered line.
Warband has so many mods that you practically can make your own game out of it that makes it so good and i also think that in a year or 2 bannerlord will have the same amount of good mods and then it will be better than warband
I would say by the time of the end of the open beta it will be better with full mod tools and also finishing all the things they wanna Finnish
I agree
It already is bette
I mean there is mods in warband that puts more mechanics like diplomacy
Except for xbox where people can't download mods..... although to be fair that's hardly relevant as Bannerlord isn't even on console yet.
The armor in warband looks cooler imo, there was voice acting for encounters even tho it was bad it had charm, I loved being a 1 man army and wiping out hundreds solo with 2 handed weapon spam (you can still kinda do this but need really high athletics), the blocking felt a lot more snappy, obviously this is less realistic but who cares if it's more fun. The characters can look straight up creepy in Bannerlord sometimes probably because they look more realistic , I hate when they smile, at best in warband characters looked stupid, at worst they looked goofy, never creepy which also gives more charm points. Bannerlord has more to offer but is lacking a good few things to be the true successor to warband imo.
now look back at mount and blade 1, non warband. Also check out viking conquest and blood and gold caribean
Edit: also fire and sword, explain why no one gives a shit about that game
the children from viking conquest still give me nightmares
Fire and sword had so much potential... unfortunantly it feels very unpolished and under developed
Fire and Sword was really satisfying to play, but shoehorning a story mode in there kinda ruined things
Fire and sword feels weird man, in a way I enjoyed it, but I don't know if it's the setting or what, but doesn't really stick to you. I guess having all those cool mods to play on Warband makes it very hard for a game like With Fire and Sword. I always had something better or more fun to do on Warband instead.
Warband was a good game... but not quite the best and i have lots of good memories of it. Hope y'all do to
It was definitely the best of its kind
Definitely, it was an amazing time. Some of the best gaming moments in my life were in Warband and Napoleonic Wars.
Warband is that kind of game that I think doesn't need any mod.. It's the best 👍
honestly it was my first game in Steam from Torrent as early young age decided to support & bought but to spent 20$ via SteamGiftCard which at that time really hard for other-region to obtain USA-balance I remember had to spent times of digging PTC website to get a reward for USA giftcard. Now 5 years just past i can still proudly say it totally worth your gaming exp. :)
@@Taliban.The.Hyperpower The modding community is by far its best feature.
i think the skill system could be better, but it's a downgrade, it was simple but more effective, bannerlord skill system bring some interesting ideas, but it is hella slower to improve and the actual skill points do not bring any improve to your character.
Yeah I hate the new skill system warband was much better
I think it's not finished yet.
@@graan1802 the entire concept of bannerlords "learning by doing" system is flawed. if i want my character to be better at say horse archery i want to invest a point in it and feel the impact not grind archery for the next 5 hours and riding for the next 500
The points are SUPPOSED to improve your character on their own, but it might not be working yet. A lot of the perks don't work yet, and they aren't marked as such. If you read the tool tips for each skill, it tells you what effect you're supposed to be seeing at your current level.
Talewords is probably trying to design for long slow gameplay, but there really needs to be way more to do with that much waiting and grinding
I wonder if the mod you're talking about is "Feel the Hit". I'm really enjoying that one. Your weapon strikes stop when they hit an enemy and it feels more solid.
Realistic Weapon Collision was the first mod, but it didn't get updated to new versions, so Feel the Hit was made to replace, and improve on it. There is no impact mod. He's probably just confusing collision with impact.
Honestly, watching him trying to command his troops, makes me wish he had more experience with the warband command system. Granted, it is dated and difficult at first, but with anything warband gave, was always that feeling. The markers are shown as to where you're placing your troops by holding F1. I personally, like both. But I would admit, I know more of the warband system than I do of the bannerlord system.
I don't think he quite understands what M&B and Warband is. It is the first of its kind. It set the bar, the foundation for what would come after. When I first heard of M&B the graphics weren't the best, but that's not what I was after. I was after the gameplay. I was after commanding an army like total war, but also being my own character on the battlefield who could join in or stay behind at will. A game where you actually had to block and attack directionally. I remember the first time I went on multiplayer people laughed at me, because nobody plays autoblock in multiplayer except for a very few mods. It opened up the game to a whole new world of skill-based fun. You could be totally naked and with a shitty starter sword in multiplayer and still you could kill a player full plate with the best weapon if you were good.
System is so Basic, so Simple to learn and it works, just takes a few tries for anyone rly can do it, even first time players, you dont even need to wory about types formations, just drag the giant flag thingy ;) but well some ppl just on open battle just do the swadian charge thing, and I guess Thats how they enjoy it. And on sieges they just get frustaded w a Simple ladder, cause they ,again, dnt Control their own troops, anyways, thnk the gods its a sandbox and u can play many other styles and actual use some Simple tactics :)
@@The_Gallowglass yeah the default auto block was a very shitty habbit many of us just got used to it, Also like u, Only after checking multiplayer I Started to play WB always w directional blocking, now..... thatbeeing Said i just wished i did That years ago cause i still suck at both singleplayer and multiplayer combat :D and can Only block a couple times but its satisfiyng wen iam able to Pull off
"Advance ten paces" command needs to put back in.
and the "split groups" command
My favorite Warband mod is Viking Conquest. I feel like it took Warband to another level, especially graphically. It also has, in my opinion at least, a more interesting range of troop types and storylines than vanilla Warband (which I also enjoyed).
Viking Conquest is a dlc, or a standalone game itself, i don't think that's a mod
@@jackievarughese3945 It is a Warband module that is accessed from the Warband opening screen.. Regardless, my point is that the graphics, etc., were a great improvement and I enjoyed it.
i recommend Warband over Bannerlord in 2022 because on its own, its just more complete as a singleplayer RPG, and its modding scene is insane
I still play this game when I am not playing Bannerlord for just good old time sakes but in my opinion on the game is still good to me and I still enjoy the game so much and fun fact, if you hold F1 when you are commanding an army then you can tell your men exactly to hold position instead of running all the way where you want your men to hold.
Was thinkin that we even had this feature on consoles but hadn't played M&B on PC until Bannerlord, so was surprised by that. It's a "hold" element on consoles too and many players don't seem to know about it - seems to be the beauty of M&B; always something to learn and some other way of doing things. Not necessarily a more effective way, just an other way. Think it's the only issue with a the EA (for me) - they never tell us how things are meant to work, so we can't report something that isn't "working as intended" when half the time we don't know if it's a feature or a bug - equally I imagine they're getting tons of reports and tickets raised about things that are elements of mechanics but haven't been explained. Think the automatic couched lance thing was an option, like auto-block (easy mode) - quite amusing seeing how the different streamers remember the game relative to their mods and settings.

Same works in the field, mix some sharpshooters in that archer line and you're bringing warband into ww1. Lines of people and horses just fall over and die.
@@Burner.Account.. I did a test once and found the sarranids to be more effective and more of a 'sharpshooter', at least at range. Maybe that was just my luck, but I destroyed with them in one campaign

Well it took me 30 mins the first time to find and hunt the 'nervous man'. Almost gave up.
Even as someone who loved Warband... The sieges in Warband cause me actual physical pain. Warband has character can't deny it but Bannerlord has more polish that I appreciate more.
did you know warband is available on console? thats how i was introduced to it, and thats how i got used to it. and if you're wondering how it plays, trust me...
so do i.
its so weird, but i love it.
I feel you. It was the same for me😂 escpecially the lack of mods, but I loved it!
It’s fun for awhile, but the base game just has zero depth to it whatsoever. The console release was just a way to milk console players for money. They still have no plans to release any dlcs or even fix the multiplayer.
I think bannerlords biggest flaw is the setting. It lacks the heavy plated knigts that define high mediaval games, but it also lacks the vikings wich is what I like most about the early mediaval time it plays in.
Ehh I like the early medieval period.
@@jolonghthong I too, but it misses vikings. The only 2 factions I find enjoyable are the Vladians and the Azarai.
Also this might be controvercial, but I miss Woman not having equal status to man, it does not only add realism, but also gave a reason to play a woman.

@@BJaca-tn3om Have to agree with you there. I love Warband a lot more, and not just for nostalgia. I got into the franchise very recently and have found myself playing Warband more than Bannerlord.
@@BJaca-tn3om imagine thinking warband sieges are better than bannerlord
There is two things i hate in warband. Its the fact that when you die you battle in retreat that the worst thing.
Second thing its that the enemies focus you.
if i'm not mistaken holding F1 in Warband to order troops will bring up a flag so you know where to make them hold the position
He mentioned being able to tell at a glance if you troops are wounded. I’m coming to bannerlord from the Total War style of RTS in which you can see everything. I really like the limited knowledge on the battlefield in bannerlord. You have to turn your camera and make out what’s happening from wherever you happen to be. It’s incredibly immersive to me. The only thing I don’t like is the inability to form up before a battle begins or train you army to follow a standard deployment template when engaging an enemy.
what’s crazy to me about warband, is it was made it what 2004? for a game from 2004 it has pretty decent graphics, the gameplay is fun as hell, the depth into the mechanics of the game from courting lady’s, to the relationship aspects to everyone kinda having their own personality. the random events and feeling like you’re truly a mercenary, vassal, caravan, or starting your own kingdom. the game was truly ahead of its time and is an absolute classic. i’m so happy it came to xbox so i was able to play it again. i hadn’t played since my childhood at my buddy’s house when we would spend 24 hour stretches just rampaging calradia. i’ve now gotten 4 city’s taken, about 8 castles, and god knows how many villages under my command. a
2004 was alpha of regular mount and blade, warband came many years later
is that even a question? Of course it is. silly
Yes, warband is still soooooooooooooo fun to play. It’s just so balanced and fun.
Hey Resonant, you can hold f1 during a battle to bring out a flag and move your troops to the position.
He's talking about how Bannerlord shows you exactly where your men will stand rather than just the center of the formation, so you can fine tune placements
My mans complains about balance, but earlier in the video he showed he was on the easiest difficulty for warband XD. As well, saying "warband doesnt hold up as a 10/10 over a decade later" is such an unremarkable and obvious thing to say. Find me one game from pre 2013 that looks anything but UGLY compared to today. Warband when it came out was revolutionary, an amazing game. Today, its still a great time. Comparing it to its sequel is like comparing the original Jurassic park and the new movies and whining that the Ogs dont look as good, its honestly kinda strange to even draw that comparison in the first place.
I'm still waiting for prophesy of pendor for bannerlord before I can make my final comparison :D
I'd much rather play Prophecy of Pendor than Bannerlord. As far as fun factor goes, PoP wins hands down, and that's the most important part imo.
Even if there's a PoP2 for bannerlord, I think PoP1 will be more fun. I love the balance and core mechanics. When I see Bannerlord mods, I think, "that's cool". Unfortunately looking cool doesn't translate to fun.
warband exists for multiplayer, especially competitive in native and NW. Bannerlord is a single player game.
I wish it had a better mp following for now
@@punjivr the melee is trash, it just won’t work with the competitive scene
@@punjivr and me, as someone with over 3k hours in warband mp, and nearly 300 in bannerlord, I can say differently. The entire native community has already returned from bannerlord, they have repopulated wbmm and nw events
@@iodine3012 Maybe one day when we get custom servers, custom maps, mods, and polish, the community will return
@@punjivr i agree with that, many don’t. as of right now the melee animations and mechanics are very bad, compared to warband. i’m a nw player, and i believe a bannerlord nw would be nothing but a replica of holdfast
Gods, seeing lots of soldiers actually go up the 'ladders' is a beautiful sight!
In all honesty - this jankiness of original is one of the things I love about it.
Bannerlord may turn out to be better, only time will tell, really.
So, 2 years later, what did time say?
There is just this nostalgic and indescribable feeling while playing warband. And although many people dislike the graphics, I oddly like it...
Also the modding scene is so great
If the gameplay is satisfying, we often overlook graphics.
M&B never looked good, but we never cared for this fact.
Nah the historical setting and the factions were waaaayyyy better in warband. The graphic of warband is really mothing compared to bannerlord but I really hate the factions and setting of bannerlord.
Warband with mods is still vastly superior to Bannerlord in it's incomplete state IMO. A few years from now I'd expect Bannerlord to be a lot better though, the better combat alone will put it above Warband as long as the rest of the game doesn't stay as incomplete as it is.
Comparing vanilla to vanilla Bannerlord already takes the cake though, even though vanilla Warband is still a great game.
Warband villages too let you recruit better units, as u improve your relations with those villages.
In warband, if you hold F1 key, it lets you order your troops to move to designated place, without beein in that place yourself. Just like in Bannerlord.
Hope we`ll get some sort of persistent mod
There will be persistent worlds for Bannerlord. Trust me.
@@The_Gallowglass I would love Persistent Frontier
I think warband had more to offer in terms of roleplay, enhanced diplomacy mods and the ability to join an army as a footsoldier. (not vanilla) 1
We also had multi area sieges, take the wall, take the town, take the keep. (loved that despite the single ladders)
More edicts for controlling your kingdom that actually do something. Perhaps the ability to purchase real estate, have a squire, ability to make camp and make council with yor companions, random gang warfare, policing (being able to pick a side) ability to completely destroy towns, castles and villages. Kill Lords on the battlefield (rather than after having to execute them)
I have so much more to add.
I wish I knew how to mod bannerlord
Yes. There is no question. I'm still trying to work through Warsword, Le'aigle, Last Days of Third Age and Gekokujo
Havent even touched Pendor yet. I've never been king of Caldaria either.
I figure I have another 2k hours+ of gameplay left outside of multiplayer.
No other game is or ever will be Warband.
Warband's music and historical theme/setting was on point. Also, the community driven multiplayer was somehow just much better. note: i live in australia, so i get 250 ping on every server i join, and its absolutely unplayable.
what bannerlord did good is sieges. Sieges are amazing. Aside from that, i'd rather have an HD version of warband
I just played some warband before this video purely for the mods. And boy.. It still has such a charm. I still like it more than bannerlord purely due to the current mods both games have.
I prefer old fighting system because it was more skill based then now , i like the animation when you go for a second swing in bannerlord but idk for me old system feels a lot better
I still play warband cause my shit can't handle bannerlord
Try Geforce Now. Not the best solution but works fine for me at the moment. I have a potato PC too but I had to play Bannelord.
Bannerlord suffers the “Second Game Syndrome”. It's clearly one improved game, but not one Improved Warband. It lacks great features that could more easily give identity to what people wanted. And that's actually pretty common as usually the developers and the community doesn't share a deep communication. They focused on what they thought we would like, and they did it good - but they ended up by not improving on what we loved.
Warband experience is deeper what they could achieve trough “Make sieges better” or “Make battles better” - Warband is also the charm and the threads trough all the game. As bad as people could think they where, the feasts, the NPCs, the society, they gave identity to the game. And plenty of that, for many, in Warband - and everyone will be happy at the end of the playthrough.
Now, I do think that's a second game problem because now they have data from both games. What they should ask themselves next is “What is great in Bannerlord and what people like better in Warband?” - and the Third game will be the greatest of them all.
As long as EA keep their hands out of it.
Well said. It improved so much but left so much of its charm behind
This video makes me so happy. After playing the souls series, I stopped being able to enjoy games, as they could never match it. But Warband is my new favorite game and I love it. And to know that Bannerlord is so much better makes me so excited, since it’s announced to be coming to consoles!
I hope they make a sequel to the Napoleonic Wars DLC with the Bannerlord engine after they finish Bannerlord. That was my favorite multiplayer game.
We need a rolf of house rolf in bannerlord to legitimise rolf of house rolf
My issue with Bannerlord is trade.
I loved establishing trade routes in Warband, Fire and Sword and mods like A Song of Ice and Fire, but in Bannerlord I feel like running around like a headless chicken for days only to barely make a profit.
After almost 400 hours in Bannerlord, going back to warband was really weird. The combat feels too clunky and not responsive, the horses feel artificial, battle maps can be horrendous, but the campaign and mods are as great as I remember it (with a few exceptions).
Recruiting troops can be too op in warband, but fun.
Skills aren't as fleshed out as Bannerlord's, but allow for crazy op characters
Maintaining high troop count in warband can be a major chore and pain in the ass
Dialogue, quests, and other characters are so much better though in Warband though. The companions are memorable in warband, but the total opposite in Bannerlord.
Warband's combat is infinitely better than bannerlords, idk what version of bannerlord youre playing
@@punjivr it still has a blocking delay
@@karlhabsburg9325 It feels about the same if not faster than Warband. In real life, moving around a heavy sword isn't going to be instant either
@@punjivr Realism in games is cool, but good gameplay is the priority.
@@punjivr Swords are not heavy. Watch any HEMA fight and look at the speed.
Warband's movements were faster and, in my opinion, better in that regard. The character animations were clunky, yes, and in Bannerlord they were improved. The feel, however, is much worse for me.
You can actually place your troops to a specific position without moving there yourself also in Warband, just select a units group with the number keys and then hold down the F1 button, a little flag will appear on the ground that you can move around, once you release the F1 key, your selected group will move to the position of the flag.
Warband Mod, "Warsword Conquest", allows you to play in a fully recreated world of Warhammer Fantasy.
And this is just one of the mods.
Thats only one of the reasons, why Warband will be forever.
Maybe a controversial opinion but
Warband > Bannerlord
Agreed, but Bannerlord is getting closer. Even if Bannerlord does surpass Warband someday, Warband will always be a great game.
@@yek9407 Hopefully they make Bannerlord multiplayer as good as Warband, they need to bring back the classic inventory/money system
The time periode bannerlord plays in is a problem, no heavy knights wich define mediaval times for a lot of people, and no vikings wich would histricaly be my pick for early mediaval times.
You still have horse archers
You will Never scape the horse archers
Yes ofc
I know the game is outdated it's graphics are silly but damn ive been playing this game since I was a child, I used to play back when u spawned in zendar lol
It just shows you that they did a really good job with Bannerlord.
I miss viking conquest reforged though.. I would like to see a new verson of that and maybe fire and steal
you can press and hold F1 and use the markers in warband
I started playing again with new Blood Eagle Mod for VC, actually still pretty fun !
Hope Bannerlord will be finished in about a year, so I can start playing that again..
the fact that warband is a more random game is what makes me really like it
?
I just got in to M&B Warband and i honestly love it very much. I can’t wait for Bannerlord to come to consoles!
1:11 They change the map and rearrange the cities every game, especially when they put sargoth on the opposite end of the map
Dude are you high? What are you talking about?
Agreed. Sargot can't be Sargoth. It's too far south and not the right culture. That being said, you could still make it work with some lore fixes. Have the city of Sargot fall, and have refugees move north to settle a new Sargot where Sargoth is. The Nords can conquer it when they invade, and rename it to Sargoth.
@@o-mangaming5042 Holy shit, that's some really interesting lore right there, not gonna lie.
Yes.
It’s still vastly superior.
Especially multiplayer.
Bro Warband is my childhood that game never ends in me
I just started playing bannerlord and idk man. I hate how you can’t run a village anymore only castles. They did get some dumb changes but overall good game
This is funny... I watched your "Old World" warhammer mod spotlight and it made me wistful for the Warsword Conquest mod for Warband. So I took a peek at it and found out it just came out with an update in the last couple of months. So I fired it up. I love Warband, but it just felt awkward after having not played it for a while.
I love the warband fighting system way more than Bannerlord. It just feels better.
I also think the warband recruitment system works better.
On my monitor, the graphics are way better. Maybe because I have the night light slightly on, and the graphic settings higher.
I like the chest in the battle field. It has saved me several times. I also wish they would add the player bandit camps from fire and sword. Those were basically mini settlements you could build up anywhere on the map.
I like warbands combat system more because i can actually hit my target on horseback
I like the way that they made horseback kills a little bit harder in bannerlord as it is should be.my personal though tho
I purchased warband after I'd played Bannerlord for a good while. The ranged combat in Bannerlord is better, that's about it really. Maybe I'll think differently when Bannerlord has come along more, but I greatly prefer it's predecessor.
There's a reason why people were saying Warband is now obsolete even on Bannerlord's buggy launch, and its all these little things.
You should play blood and gold Caribbean, I randomly came across it and fell in love. Was always wanting a mod like it and I bet their are other out there who have yet had the chance to play it.
I love warband. Sieging or defending the castle is unique experience in warband🙂
I havent played Bannerlord yet (potato pc) but Seeing this video actually really makes me want to play it!
They need to add some special companions to bannerlord.
Oh and they need more battle maps
I agree on all the points you covered here. Most of the complaints I see about combat is that you can't just stomp anything by spamming cav in bannerlord (which if you can do that, I don't think it's really great balance. Also the game takes place before cavalry was as dominant as warband. I think it's also great that spears actually counter cav now) and that armor "does nothing" which the latter is false imo. But I think where bannerlord falls short is the kind of things you didn't touch on here. The politics, interactions with lords, long term playability, stuff like that. But we know that stuff is all in the pipeline, so I'm not too worried about it. There's some great stuff related to all that introduced in Bannerlord too (such as elections/policies/clans) but it still needs work. I've put off the latest few patcches waiting for 1.5.6, but still, I think Bannerlord is overall better and will be far superior with mods.
As it stands, Warband is much more fun.
"THAT'S A NICE HEAD YOU HAVE ON YOUR SHOULDERS!"
Pro tip if you hold the command you will have a flag shown were you want to put them
I like the graphics. Some sort of charm to it
Almost popped a blood vessel trying to decipher which perk is less useless in bannerlord. Constantly checked steam guides, the works. Just dropped it and went for Warband. Might go for 2008 version just cause, idc about graphics, at least back then companies knew how to make AND FINISH a game
I play Warband all the time!
Ah yes, harvesting season.
Who would’ve guessed, when you fight at night its dark.. ahh it sucks, wish it was brighter!
40% of the reason why I started playing Bannerlord was due to how the battles played out, mainly because of how fluid they were, and how you could navigate through your troops much easier, what I mean is that in warband, you literally struggle trying to push yourself through a single shieldwall of your troops, this is the same case of how every single soldier tries to squeeze theirself up a single ladder in a siege, and the player has to either go first in line for the ladder, or last, so they wouldn't have to go through the hassle of pushing through AI soldiers. The troops were collidable like CONCRETE, I tell ya. Unlike in bannerlord, whereas you can actually make room for yourself in battles with better troop collision, same goes for the horses as well.
Warband was great - ahead of its time. not sure its launch date. but its taken this long to remake the game and do it justice imo. its def better in bannerlord. it still needs some tweaks and fixes but as right now stock 0 mods either game bannerlord is better. imo. warband is still great game too though. i like how they didnt redo the game. they kept warband and just added some features. and im sure they will continue to add some quality of life features.
Bannerlord is fun, and Warband is fun. Bannerlord has big improvements over Warband but is also missing some features that Warband has, for example: the ability to create a CAMP. Seriously how did this feature not available in Bannerlord. Also, sneaking into enemy towns, and the ability to _fight your way out._ In Bannerlord, you're just thrown into prison no questions asked. The banners in Bannerlord are hella meh and don't live up to its namesake. The sounds in Warband are louder and more of them can be heard in the same time. I also kinda miss the battle minimap in Warband, but I understand Taleworld's choice not to include it in Bannerlord. Companions and even citizens in Warband are more interactive, you can talk to them and ask them about locations, politics, war stuff, etc. In Bannerlord, you're stuck with the main quest before you get to make your own kingdom, not so in Warband. Warband also has firearms in which you can make weapons mod of. These are just some to name a few.
But Bannerlord, despite missing a lot of things, is still fun and- dare I say- better than Warband, at least in most cases. It's just the beginning of the journey for Bannerlord and I have high hopes for it.
I barely started playing warband (I don't have a pc) and I find it awesome! One thing I would love, is to find a game where its as this game is, but when you take a castle/town/ city, you can construct it certain ways depending on he level of investment or Denard you want to put into it
in bannerlord you can build different improvements for yor town and upgrade the walls n shit its cool
Then play total war
You can see the flag when you call to "hold position" by keeping f1 pressed
Also warband it's like 1/30 of the price in Argentina
