Welcome to (what I believe to be) the first Mount & Blade community on Lemmy! Info as well as some basic rules can be found in the sidebar. Other than that, feel free to post whatever you'd like in regards to this beloved franchise.

Could be human error? I see no AI note on steam. Any thoughts on this?

Shokuho is hardly the first mod to adapt TaleWorlds' Mount & Blade series to a new era of history. Mount & Blade: Warband's startling array of total conversions practically let you command armies anywhere and, indeed, anywhen in the world. Yet not only is Shokuho a total conversion for the slightly less well-served Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, but it is also one of the most comprehensive, transposing TaleWorlds' historical RPG to feudal Japan in impressive depth and detail.

Shokuho's samurai action begins in 1568, the year Oda Nobunaga marched on Kyoto and sparked two centuries of civil war and political intrigue. As in vanilla Bannerlord, the mod lets you carve a path through the period in all manner of ways, such as building up your own army, or joining the forces of a local lord to rise up the ranks.

Yet while Shokuho is built upon Bannerlord's foundations, this is no simple reskin. Shokuho boasts a completely new map that, according to the creators, is "five times as big as vanilla [Bannerlord], with 56 towns and 181 castles," all of which are based on settlements, clans, and kingdoms from the era.

Moreover, as well as bundling in the popular Diplomacy Mod, which adds systems like alliances and war exhaustion, it also features several mod-specific mechanics. These include tiered castle sieges where you must fight through multiple checkpoints, and fully simulated naval battles that let you control your own ships, destroy enemy vessels with archers and gunfire, or board them with your own troops. Amusingly, Shokuho has pipped Bannerlord to the post here. TaleWorlds is working on its own naval expansion to the base game, but it won't arrive for some time yet.

Also, considering Mount & Blade has never been a visual powerhouse, Shokuho has a remarkable sense of style. The release-date trailer published a couple of weeks back shows battles taking place across windswept grassy plains and misty forests, snow-dusted sieges of mountain fortresses, and a samurai duel beneath the golden canopy of an autumnal Japanese maple. Developer Dockside Interactive has clearly taken a leaf out of Ghost of Tsushima's artbook, and it's paid off.

Shokuho is available to download over on ModDB. As for Bannerlord itself, TaleWorlds' War Sails expansion was originally scheduled to launch next week, but it has since been delayed to autumn as the developers get it ship-shape.

His grace was so kind as to liege me to some of his estates. I would happily repay his generosity with a rebellion and start my own kingdom. But when is the perfect time to strike? And once I start the rebellion what are some tips to secure a swift peace agreement?

I am trying to enter this castle for the main quest (Talk to 10 lords) but its lord has a real lance up his ass or something.

He has a prisoner in his castle which I need to speak to, except its policy not to let anyone in.

So I try to talk to the lord himself, to perhaps earn favor. But he's inside of this castle too!!

POV:

Really fed up of this. Running a siege for days on end and along comes a friendly army and I lose control of the siege to them.

I know this is a known issue that lots of people have complained about. Has anybody found a workaround? Or have devs made a statement on when this will be fixed? Or a mod which fixes this? Playing on pc

Hi there,

I am new to this game. Have been enjoying the raiding quite alot. But I cannot seem to get much further than that. So my question here is: What are the steps leading to creating your own kingdom?

For instance: Step 1. Gain renown, Step 2. Get Compainions. And so on.

So as the title said, I'm playing Bannerlord as a Battain clan. I have progressed to a tier 3 clan, and have entered the service first of the Battain king(but he was always fighting half the world and I kept dying) and now to the Vlandian king as a merc.

My question is how to best proceed towards having my own villages or cities? I have 105 troops so I can't exactly take a whole city or castle by my self. I'm not sure what I'm meant to do. I just keep fighting in the wars that pop up then hunt looters and win tournaments, but I am not sure if thats a good strategy.

Saw that you made this community and reminded me of my many years of playing warband thru childhood. Should I buy Bannerlord for my next playthrough or is it kinda meh? Never heard much about the game.
