Hey there Lemmerds,
After years of hard work, today we released a big expansion to our game which mainly includes Nord faction and sea battles. If you’re looking for some good action, good sandbox and awesome ship fights, you might want to check it.
Alongside, we’re releasing 1.3 patch after a long while, which brings a giant deal of changes.
Hope you enjoy it!
Note to the community :
self promotion is allowed on this community, what we disallowed is excessive self promotion.
Things like multiple post in a short timespan, not disclosing ones link to a specific game, or anything that is made to manipulate the community to make a game look better or more popular that it is really. Sames goes for new account posting ads to games, never to be seen againSo let’s check here:
- He disclosed his link to the game : yes
- Posted about it multiple times is a short time : I didn’t see anything like that, but feel free to report if it is the case
- Is active : yes
- No suspicious link : yes
In my book, this is 100% legit. No need to report.

Sorry, Mordhau’s mêlée combat completely surpasses Mount and Blade’s for me, I tried Bannerlord but there is simply no going back.
Did ya’ll ever implement a more realistic reaction set to executing people? Always thought it was odd that my faction would suddenly hate me for executing the asshole king who had been raiding us for decades, killed my spouse/kids, ate the last grape, and then decided to burn villages to the ground.
Anyway, let us know when the dlc goes on sale for <$5.
PS: If you played Bannerlord before, you might want to check our giant patch log:

I read that as “War Snails” and was soooo excited for 0.25 seconds.
The games developers have discovered us and decided we’re ripe for advertising to.
Buy! Buy! Buy! Consume! Obey! Do not think! Buy!
I wouldn’t say I’m advertising, I’m an active Lemmy user and just wanted to share smth I’m pretty proud of.
It’s all about creating exceptions for yourself. No offense.
I don’t hold it against you. I would do the same. But the precedent in which it sets will lead to… Capitalism.
He is not making a expection to himself. Self promotion is allowed, if not excessive or from newly created account.
Surprised to see one of the team on Lemmy! Bannerlord is an awesome game, I’m looking forward to trying this.
This update is pointless If you can’t raid for more butter… He who controls the butter controls Calradia
Found the Swadian
Cool to see you on here!
I read War Snails. Now I want War Snails.
Noted.
Snail-Time Strategy game. Every match takes months and the romance cutscenes are hella gross.
All romance cut scenes are hella gross. Do people not understand that’s how you get cooties.
Oh man, the Viking conquest dlc for the original warband is my most played game ever on steam. Gonna have to check this out!
That looks amazing.
I wish I liked the overall experience. I don’t think you’ve done anything wrong, quite the opposite, it’s just not my genre. I think I got the the first mount & blade on gog and the core loop of the battles just didn’t click for me.
The website mentions:
"Realistic Economy
See the availability of goods ebb and flow in a simulated feudal economy, where the price of everything from incense to warhorses fluctuates with supply and demand. Turn anarchy to your advantage by being the first to bring grain to a starving town after a siege or reopening a bandit-plagued caravan route."
But it’s relatively hard to find more material online about what that means, what it looks like (UI) and how it works. Can you maybe go into a bit more detail? On the website or maybe a feature trailer or something? Even a recommended creator content thing would be great. I care too much about economy and logistics.
Tyvm!
So our game designers might tell it better but, the economy inside the game relies on supply/demand chains,
- Production of villages
- Villager parties carrying products from villages to cities
- Workshops in towns process some of the product to have higher tier materials
- Merchants work in-between cities does actual trade (buy low sell high) of everything in-between
So wars and interventions (banditry, raids, sieges; player clearing out infested trading routes etc.) can and will distrupt or boost the overall logicstics, which could lead into inflations, deflations etc.
You absolutely can play the game as a merchant who doesn’t fight at all and gain power by amassing wealth and influence.
There’s no special UI for trades, except you can find out lucrative business by talking around, running workshops or caravans and leveling up your trade to have UI show what’s cheaper or expensive than average at one point.
If you’re into a merchant roleplay as I do, you can give it a shot. There must be a 2-hr refund time on Steam if you don’t like it :)
Its honestly a very small facet of the game, and more so used to bootstrap your company/Army’s finances until you gain lordship of towns and cities (and thus collect rents).
But to try to explain how it comes together anyway:
So towns specialize in producing a single type of raw resource (grain, ore, grapes, sheep, etc) and they sell those goods mainly to a single city. A city will have 2-4 towns “feeding” it resources, and so if a city has 3 towns that bring it grain, then you’d expect the grain price to be cheaper than in a city who’s towns produce ore.Next level, if you have two neighboring towns one producing ore and one with grain, chances are there will be a stable (and relatively low) grain price in both with reasonably high population (pop growth is primarily boosted by excess food). Imagine now an enemy army rolls up and burns all the grain towns and seiges the grain city (traders can’t enter a sieged city). After a week, this would lead to MUCH less grain in the ore city, thus prices spike.
So you, an enterprising new player with a dozen men and some spare horses, load up with cheap grain from somewhere else on the map and make a run to the ore city, selling grain at an inflated price.
Again, this general strat is good for bootstrapping the money to build a medium warband, but generally falls away as a viable source of income once you leave there early game.
Bonus factoids cause I’ve got time to kill: The game is very open ended. If you just want to be a merchant, well, I suppose no ones stopping you. But the course of action you’re nudged towards is to raise a warband and join (or build) a faction and
conquerunite all the cities under one banner.With that, I’d define the goals/stages of the game as:
Early: building a small company big enough to be helpful to you faction when fighting alongside other lords. Goal here is to buy a few workshops inside your own faction’s lands (which grant passive income).
Mid-game: you’re working to build a fighting force that can solo other mid-large forces, while obtaining / managing a city or two for your kingdom (this is where you manually trading starts to not yield enough income to keep your army paid). Goal is to become a significant political player in your faction and to gain as many cities as you can for yourself.
Endgame: by this point, you should be leading a faction. For combat, you’re gathering multiple vassals into large army’s to take key enemy cities. You’re managing the wars that spring up and determining which vassals get which cities. This is where you can finally make real territorial gains for your people.
To those that typically play space sims, I tend to describe your game as “X4, but medieval”.
Eh, gonna have to soft disagree.
Its got a lot of those same elements, but you have a character that is only at one spot at a time, and so that limits how elective you can be at the expansion part.
That said, it is also not a typical RPG where you have just a character adventuring across the land. Really unique game in that its a bridge between those two broad genres.
What a surprise! This looks incredible. I’m gonna have to download it again to give it a spin
Hello, please consider releasing the game for linux
It’s 100% playable on Linux, as a matter of fact I’m playing it on Bazzite right now.
I’ve been playing the game just fine on Linux for about 50 hours. Idk if a native build would be that useful
it runs perfectly on proton.
seems like an unnecessary workload for an already busy team of developers
It doesn’t anymore… It crashed like 5x today, and that’s not including the times where it froze for 5+ minutes and recovered
Cool! Are you the team or a employee?
didn’t quite get the question, I’m one of leads though👋
I was wondering if you were a whole team account or just a single employee personal account, but you answered it. I love your game!
Haha, no yeah our marketing and support is doing tremendous job everywhere else but they’re not aware of Lemmy yet so yeah I’m just an actual developer who loves Lemmy.
That’s pretty darn cool, actually.
You’re pretty darn cool actually
