I led the army and the votes following its capture was to give it to me. I had a little more time then to explore the recent place I captured, talking to people. It was engrossing, exciting and I was losing. Even the AI seemed more intelligent, flanking my infantry. This wasn't a siege, this was a wide-open battlefield and to be fair to the game, it didn't slow down once, even when over one hundred cavalry units were seen charging into the throng of battle. I tried to haggle and request his surrender and we took to the battlefield. I was a little too proud in mine and my soldier's abilities. The enemy general was fair, he requested I surrender. That's when an enemy force of over 1000 came to its assistance. I was laying siege to it, my force of over 1000 units sieging a city with a defence of around 400. I won the siege and captured the castle, then I decided it was time to go for the enemies' city. Particularly so when it came to the second battle I participated in.
I couldn't give an exact number, but I would bet my arse that the number I saw was higher than that. Three years ago we posted a piece about how a battle was shown with around five-hundred units. The same system of remaining units coming in as reinforcements still exists, but the unit cap in a battle has been increased dramatically. No longer will you be essentially watching a small fight with a few hundred units, with the remaining units in your armies slowly trickling in as resources to fill the gap. This is where the real difference in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord can be seen. I'm a hands-on manager if there ever was one. As I've said, I like to jump in with my units. There was no way I was going to auto-resolve this fight. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Preview – It’s Certainly Early Access It was just in time, as an army just as large as mine was visible on the horizon. In the case of my first siege, I was more than happy to get a trebuchet, a tower and a battering ram built. At the same time, the enemy will be building up their defences and, understandably, reinforcements will be coming. Selecting what you want to build, you'll see time passing and your equipment getting built up. When you siege now, you'll actually see your army laying siege to the enemy castle or city. What is new is when you actually start sieging an enemy. This is something those who have played the other titles will be quite familiar with. Smaller bands of rebels and enemy forces weren't exactly fond of the idea of challenging us, deciding to go the other way quite sharpish. The game was kind enough to suggest a castle to siege so off we went. I didn't bother raiding the first village or two that I came across, that was a little too easy to do. Fortunately, I'm in a nation that is at war with another nation. Once I've built up an army of thousands - this is the scale I was speaking of - it was time to pick a target. You can also seemingly hire roaming captains that don't belong to your faction at all, for a cost of course. So, using my position, I was able to bring more generals that are part of my nation to my side, using what I think was a sort of diplomatic currency or influence. Nor are they going to follow somebody who can't pay or feed them. Hundreds upon hundreds aren't going to completely trust somebody with no leadership abilities, that's completely reasonable.
Your personal force, much like the first titles, is limited in size based on the funds you have at your disposal, the supplies you have and also your own personal abilities. So the first thing the game wanted me to do, once I jumped into the single-player story they were offering, is to use my position in whatever nation I was a part of to draw more people to my side.

NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready 461.72 WHQL Drivers Introduce RTX 3060 Support, DLSS Support for Nioh 2, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord and More It may not be completely new, but it's certainly a big push forward. This time Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is showing a level of size and scale, as well as a glimpse of the politics of the world that you will possibly be looking to conquer. This is something that Mount & Blade does very well for me and while last year I said that my hands-on was very much treading familiar ground to that of the first game, and its spinoffs, this year my time with the game offered something different.
The power-fantasies of being some deific like entity, slaughtering masses, is entertaining of course - it just doesn't scratch that strange itch I've got. Being able to lead your troops and wade into battle as a regular human being is something that is just missing in games. Last year, during my impressions piece of Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, I made it quite clear that this is a game that's extremely exciting to me.
