In warband there is a mod of game of thrones, its fucking incredible and you can serve in an army. You have a lot of events being part of the group and you start to rank in the army. You can leave your lord in the night or flee in a loss battle and maintain your gear but you will see as a traitor, very inmersive.

there's a lot of overhaul mod like that on warband that have the same feature, like The Last Days of the Third Age mod (The Lord of the Rings mod) where you can join Mordor, Rohan, Gondor, Isengard, etc. There's a 108 Heroes mod if you fancy warring state period in china. My favorite is Gekokujo - Daimyo Edition mod, set on Japan feudal era where you can become merchant, buying house, owning property & land then set a rent for it to give you nice extra income per month, can even have a business in town, or just go serve any daimyo (lord) & start from foot soldier work your rank up to samurai.

[@KrauserKahn]

Starting as a regular soldier is always my first step when I start a Bannerlord campaign, I really prefer it to just create an army from nothing. Instead I slowly build my reputation as soldier, raise the ranks and be seen as a leader. When I reach the highest rank or become the general's bodyguard is when I consider parting ways and creating my own warband.

[@Bishey]

There is an updated version of the "Freelancer" mod that is called "Serve as soldier". It's actually a separate mod with different code and some differences in mechanics. It was created because the author of the freelancer mod announced that he will no longer be modding for Bannerlord. You might want to check that out if you ever want to play it in an updated version.

Pretty good introduction for a nice story, only thing that's lacking is what happened with his love that you showed, surely that's an important part of the story. You can for example say 0:25 his love was killed by the Khuzait so he swore revenge against them.

TY for making these funny videos but also putting a nice story element in there. I am genuinely invested in Darius' progression now. :) GG

[@johnsamos3721]

Can you imagine being Lucon where one day you see this weird citizen running at you while being charged at by roughly 10 hill bandits for him to then ask you for a job basically. THEN a few days later you forget about this guy and you're in the middle of the seasons first large battle when suddenly this little peasant dude with his pitchfork does a wild ass jump lunge attack taking a cavalier soldier out with one smack to the back of the head.

I always loved this mod in Warband, this was my main thing, join a kings army (or any noble) and march. I love making my way through ranks, getting better gear etc. This mod should be implemented to the full game of Bannerlord.

This series introduced me to your channel and wow can I say your dedication to telling the story of Darius is why I’m gonna be coming back! Love the channel and content, keep it up!

[@peterrasmussen394]

I definitely think the Permadeath odds should depend on whether your side Wins the battle, since they’ll be able to heal you if they do, and You’ll likely be fending for yourself if they don’t.

[@marcusanark2541]

Fair enough.

Good stuff man and when the content makes the creator have fun it grows on the viewers. Glad I found this channel. Cheers mate and may your 2022 be the best year yet

[@xyAKMxy]

Hi Simo, I'm glad you're finally back! I'm posting this comment like 3 minutes into the video and I wanted to say that I can think of two ways to implement permadeath (to be counted only from the 2nd episode and onwards): first method would be through "lives", in which you get a limited amount of safe knockouts before your next one gets you killed, so let's say you have 5 lives, that means you get knocked out 5 times and the 6th is permadeath; the other method would be through coin tosses, maybe not a literal coin but you alt-tab and show us you using a cointoss website for every knockout. Second one is a bit more tedious but gets things more tense right from episode 2, while the first method keeps you on your toes only later on as the episodes roll by. Best wishes btw

[@psylocide7672]

Don’t know how to implement permadeath? Implement it yourself. In the immortal words of Ivan Drago, “if he dies, he dies.”

[@skiva1219]

Finally Simo, more Bannerlord!! Very cool character and idea, can't wait to see more!!

[@stalhein62]

6:52 in terms of threat level, you're a Russian soldier at Stalingrad trying to find both bullets and a gun. 11:03 a scorpio was an early artillery piece, but it was a bit smaller than a full size ballista. Difficult to tell which it is from this far out. 15:25 yep, scorpio.

[@DIEGhostfish]

If it's pintle mounted and being used against infantry it's probably closer to a scorpion.

[@aswd90]

whenever you "die" roll the dice, first it will be a 10% death chance the next 20% after that 30% and so-on-and-so-forth. adequate risk every time and a finite amount of luck.

[@TheTerrainGuy2]

For Perma death. Everytime you get knocked out by a bladed weapon you should roll a die and depending on location you should have a specific number for if your character lives or dies. Example hit to head (knocks you out) with sword 2 or less your character does. Etc

[@colinevegetable]

[@undeadMonk]

@@thebigenchilada678 Early Access makes for a chaotic environment for mods - which is exciting, and dynamic, sure, but if it goes on too long interest will die.

I hope it gets into a release version soon

[@SmolPotatowo]

"KZbin no longer notifies you guys." I literally just found out this series existed because only the last video showed up in my sub box. Wtff. At least I have something to binge watch now.

[@mickymuss]

My first playthrough was as a khuzait. I've showered 43 times since then and I still reek of it.

[@dramaexterminatus]

That is a very interesting series idea. I haven't played the game in a year or so, but for permadeath I'd probably say that a strike system would work, where you have 3 lives and any time you get captured you lose one, 3rd capture is "death". Something along those lines. Could be a really interesting series which would naturally generate seasons. Hardest everything, be a soldier, follow rp rules and see how far you get. No "I'm the main character" stuff.

[@dramaexterminatus]

Or even go full RP and "roll a dice", use a random generator or whatever, to decide if wounded or dead on any down. Now that would be interesting.

[@clint7247]

This should be in the base game and not just a mod. Bannerlord is a perfect fit for this kind of gameplay.

[@PrimeNPC]

It's surprising that it isn't given the popularity of the mod with the first game and I mean what better way to feel like a part of this huge living world than being a simple cog in one of its war machines

Hey I have an idea for Perma death, every time you are take down in combat roll a 2D6 and if it equals or is lower than a stat of your choice you continue the game. But if you roll higher you are Perma dead.

For perma-death, maybe give yourself a number of live? Like, you have 3 lives. The first 2 times you go down, you just receive a wound, but the 3rd time is just death. For added longevity, maybe add an extra life for every promotion you get, to represent you become a more valuable ransom target for enemies, who would take extra measures to keep you alive.
