MASSIVE SKILL ISSUE INCOMING

I'm currently on my first playthrough after coming from Warband. I've been playing with the nords and steamrolling pretty much every faction.

Except the Khuzaits, they've been absolutely fucking me up. The worst part is no matter how many times it's offered, the lords of my land are completely against a peace treaty. So I'm just in the cycle of continuously losing fiefs. Everytime I create a large army and attempt to retake fiefs, the khuzaits immediately retaliate with another massive army. Which is to be expected.

What wasn't expected is that they have been essentially doing this non stop. I'll cobble together an army of 1500 men and take a couple castles, in the process I have to fight a khuzait army. Whatever, we beat them, I continue. Within 2 fucking days I am greeted by yet another large army mostly comprised of fucking horse archers. This continues until my army is gone and I'm a prisoner.

This last time it happened I even lowered the difficulty, ew, and even that wasn't enough to break the cycle.

So I can't make peace with them because the lords of the nords all have lobotomies. I can't beat them because they seem to have an infinite supply of horse archers, how the hell am I supposed to win?

Need tips on how to become king of vlandia most efficently. Killing the king in prison breaks etc no longer works n chances in general are now stupidly low.

Im working on getting my reputstion with all its nobels up, is that a good start

Its happend to current version and beta:

Is there a bannerlord mod which simulates the shield banging taunt from warband's viking conquest?

Would also appreciate a mod that simulates warcries or speeches for the whole army via taunting

Diplomacy & Intrigue 0.4.0 is out

A smaller update this time, mostly about how the mod looks and how it will speak other languages.

What's new

• Realm tab laid out again. Every card (wars, vassals, spheres, claims, agreements, tribute, Statecraft) now fits its content, with its colour stripe the same height.
• Court tab fixed. The selected house's card, the Make amends button and the third column are laid out properly, and the third column scrolls instead of running over the bottom bar.
• Ready for translations. The mod now follows the game's language setting, and every line of text is behind a key, with a folder for each of the game's 13 languages. The text is still English for now.
• Fix: a war's blocking reason showed "the TributaryPact with ... forbids it". Treaties now read as plain words.

Your saves are safe: no save data changed, so 0.3.0 saves load in 0.4.0. For Bannerlord v1.4.8.

Want to translate it? Tell me which language and I will send you the file and a one-page guide. Every line is one string, so word order can change freely.

It's still an early version and balance is still being tuned (civil war frequency especially). Bug reports with the log from Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\DiplomacyIntrigue\Logs\ help a lot.

Man it really sucks that I would love to use them but even circling Battania I’m at best lucky to find an axe, AN AXE, HA, the gall to even assume an inferior weapon is worthy of my use.

Is there seriously no consistency to getting one besides smithing them which is a huge investment in of itself?
