I think there’s true magic to the game, but a lot of that can collide with nostalgia. I still play it waiting for bannerlord and I still have a blast, even though I’ve been playing it for 3 years now.

Bannerlord is easily better than Warband in the vacuum of vanilla singleplayer but it will take years to be better than Warband as a whole.

I bought Warband a month ago after I got a new gaming PC and its one of the bestgame I've ever played. The Massive battles, fun characters and faction wars make up an experience I've never played anywhere else. Its truly a classic and I hope you never stop making awesome content about such a masterpiece.

I remember the first time I completely conquered the map, I too worshipped our Lord and savior jeremus, he loved me too so I made him a vassal of my newly founded kingdom but no, he didn't want to be a vassal he wanted everything, he defected and went with the desert people. My kingdom was on the verge of ruin but somehow I convinced an elderly swan man with 200 troops to join my 1 fief kingdom. Fuck jeremus

Then we got the Rodocks... Maybe they take one Swadian castle and wreck the sarranids before settling down and deflecting all sieges with their braindead crossbowmen and glaives. Then the sarranids, sand bois. You'll never see them because they usually get wrecked in less than a week. They suck anyway. Then you got the kerghs. Or however you spell that shit, all you gotta know is they have horse archers and nobody likes horse archers so dollar store Kahn survives the whole game. Then you got Vageirs. Or the Russians, great archers. But the Nords are better, consider them dead in about a week. Then you have the Nords, strong axe bois. Usually bully everyone on the map

Warband 4 ever

[@BlackoutGootraxian]

Jokes aside, i do think most of the charm of warband today comes from nostalgia. The game certainly did not hold up in gameplay, atleast for me. When i was a kid i enjoyed the game with cheats and never dared to do a cheat-less run as i was scared of failing. Now that i dont suck, i started a new save a couple weeks ago and it has been nothing but a slow and repetetive grind. Kill looters, get stronger. Kill sea raiders, get stronger. Get in a couple tournaments and more sea raider killing. Ally with sanjar, take a caste, empty its garrison, betray sanjar, get castle for myself, and from there onwards it was just a grind of slowly sieging the entire world. I am about 70% complete with it but it really doesnt feel satisfying and it feels more of a chore than a game now. Its far too easy and the only difficulty comes from the amount of time it takes to conquer the world. There isnt even much variation on what routes you can take, this is pretty much the only one. You can conquer the world while allied with a faction instead but its basically the same thing. Weapons lack variation too. Bows are too weak, throwing weapons are too few, and crossbows are only really good on sieges as you cannot use the better ones on horseback. So yeah. On the surface, warband seems like a cool game but its quite shallow and trivial if you have just a few hours. Mods partially remedy the issue but the core gameplay ends up being the same thing, just destroy other parties to get stronger until you can siege.

It's a bit of both. The games really entertaining until you get to sieges and you have to watch 150 men slowly walk up a ladder one by one. There are mods that sort of improve sieges by giving you multiple ladders but ehhh. Diplomacy 4 litdum improves every other aspect of the game except sieges.

[@joaovictornave]

I just recently did a "Antiviking" run in Viking Conquest, starting as a Frisian, siding with the English in the Storyline, buying 6 Skeids and then taking Friese back from those a-holes with as much prejudice as possible. Now when Danes in Ribe look at the sea at night, they pray to Odin that the "Frisian Reaper" is not coming to their shore. So yeah, until bloc singlehandedly finishes the work TW has started, I may play Bannerlord from time to time, but Warband is still my favorite.

[@masterpep7218]

I think that any game can be good in a certain era, so it's not either/or. Pong was the hit of the seventies, people loved it and those who were kids back then still have fond memories of endless hours just moving a slider. Not sure how much or for how long people would enjoy it nowadays compared to other games. I never played Warband but I'm sure it was a great game 13 years ago. I just bought Bannerlord 2 months ago and I'm having a blast. I heard about Warband and wondered if it's worth playing it. Seeing these nostalgia videos however, the answer is a no-brainer: by today's standard, Warband has little to offer compared to Bannerlord. Not just the visual part, but all the other mechanics and their complexity as well. So to answer the video title: yes AND yes, probably. For those who played Warband in 2010. For those who never played Warband, in 2023: no and no.
