This Update Is HUGE! Massive Changes In Bellwright

[@belazarius727]

I was not sure if I was willing to start a new game and "lose" all my progress. I loaded my save to see the new additions (thanks for your video I could see what I couldn't). I especially like to see how many people we crecruited from one particular town. I had stopped playing for one or two months so I still launched a new game and tried another start location. It had been a long time since I spent so much time playing one game on one playthrough and without pause (usually 30min - 1h max). I had to stop myself and save or I would have played for hours :P There's one feature I want and it is to allow us to pause while reading (the trivia, descriptions,) or browsing the menus (priorities, stats, etc...).

@@belazarius727its a pleasure man! I love this game so much and with the developers constantly working on it always makes me excited to jump back in. On discord we give suggestions and they do consider what the people say and try to apply things wherever they can.

[@belazarius727]

@@axefield yep I already did it on one of their post on steam but will try again on their feedback on discord

[@raginasiangaming910]

Very psyched for this. Bellwright is the most ambitious of these medieval simulators...hopefully they keep improving it. I feel like the big issue with Bellwright is that the map design restricts you to certain final base locations due to the time needed to reach different villages. Militia helps solve this....but if you built central militia makes it way too easy to beat reclamation imo.

[@axefield]

@@raginasiangaming910 can't wait to start my game over again! It will be a complete different experience. They show they are on version 0.0.3 so if I understand it correctly they have only done 30% of what they want to accomplish. River docks and militia is going to help you take a complete different approach in liberating towns and make the gameplay more dynamic😄🙌

Horndean has an ocean on the south side of the map. It's not too far from an iron and granite source too. I had a base there on my playthrough. It's maybe a minute run to Horndean to the north.

[@axefield]

@@2070paradigmshift I also have an outpost there, but that cliff seems incredibly steep there. Can you move with your troops comfortably up and down there?

[@2070paradigmshift]

@@axefield good question. I'll try out the new update when I get home.

[@axefield]

@2070paradigmshift ok awesome! I ran down there once and it just looked crazy steep with sheer drops at places so wasn't sure about that😆

[@robcampion9917]

I need to get back in to Bellwright.

[@gunzorzz]

Ill start palying Bellwright again when you can build walls/gates for your own village and the AI settlements aswell as improve and reconstruct the villages. It's such a shame u cannot get rid of / rebuild the broken stuff that is in every town. We also need a proper city. cobbled roads, a proper keep, 2story stonehouses etc. could be a nice place for lots of quests and storylines

[@axefield]

@@gunzorzz they intend to bring a lot of that stuff in with future updates. I wish they would allow you to repair npc towns like you say. That would look so cool when all the towns are rebuild

[@CATADARKY]

Maybe mounts horses to ride

[@savage5975]

How dose prosperity work I have a few villages and the prosperity is decreasing and I don’t know how to stop it

[@axefield]

@@savage5975 there are a couple of factors that influence prosperity. If bandit camps are within the region of liberated town, that can play a big role. Certain building that you place in npc towns can improve prosperity. Try to also trade daily with npc towns to imprive prosperity.

[@pifon80085]

hey nice vid do u know anything about mounts?

[@axefield]

@@pifon80085 thank you! They intend to add cavalry but there is no estimation on when. They will probably bring farm animals into the game for your village before the cavalry

[@pifon80085]

@@axefield oh thats great! really hope they keep it up because they look to be doing a good job even with everyone talking about their previous tiutles and how they didnt finish them, hope they prove them wrong!

[@axefield]

@pifon80085 I agree! They have been doing an awesome job. Even with the game as it is now is so fun and can keep you busy hours on end. I pray they continue this project. They really have a good thing going

[@aesirgaming1014]

I feel embarrassed for worrying that this game was abandoned (though with the dev's track record...eh). Still, this is incredible and to me Bellwright is still the definitive amongst Medieval Dynasty, Bellwright, Sengoku, etc. One thing I really do hope for is the marriage/children mechanics from Medieval Dynasty. Probably too much to hope for, but that would be absolutely incredible. More realistically, I hope to see more ways to customize your village the way you can in Medieval Dynasty as that would be super cool to really make villages your own. Also, Storage Houses...more space needed. I swear I have a whole field of Storage Houses and Cellars around my town. The only other issue I have is that the game does feel like it slows down a lot. I currently have four villages liberated and things are at a crawl because of how realistically the automated workers are. It's not like Sengoku where you can crank out a ton of resources by spamming. I guess that is a good thing, but it's also hard to play when a lot of my play time is spent sitting there, waiting for automated stuff to happen so I can make more armor/weapons. It probably also doesn't help that I'm going for a uniform for all my fighters and said uniform involves a lot of high tier armors. Guess I do it to myself.

[@axefield]

@@aesirgaming1014 a lot of people were worried, but I just had a feeling they were gonna pull through and they did. It is currently at version 0.3 so that means the developers feel they are only at 30% completetion of where they feel they should be, so we might see those things you are hoping for😉 When my storages get full I just trade with liberated towns. You get a lot of goodies you can use for crafting and get rid of unnecessary junk. When you liberated all the northern towns, things really start to get challenging, but in a good way. I probably look most forward to seeing horses, castles and hopefully siege weapons🤞

[@eliasandersson1254]

The big issue with this game is that you can easily kill Ashborne and others by yourself with a bow (from a point the enemy can´t reach) and even by a sword. You build the tier 3 buildings and then waiting for a new patch, starting over and over and over. The story needs a much bigger uplift and the AI needs to be sharper in combat.

[@axefield]

@@eliasandersson1254 I especially agree with ai improvement, I feel enemy units should be able to scale wallls or at least small fences. It kind of feels like cheating when sniping units from unreachable places😬

[@solimman-qw9ir]

Any news about when it will come to consoles?

[@axefield]

@@solimman-qw9ir not that I know if sorry🙏 But they do intend to bring it out on console. Maybe for full release? That might be another year or 2

[@EighmyLupin]

Only negative thing i can say about this game is, that i hate that the cape clips through everything lol

[@axefield]

@@EighmyLupin i have one villager that walks now permanently with her cloak over her head🤣 Im considering kicking her out of my village

[@ozzythemozzi9427]

Anyone know if this will ever come to Xbox??

[@axefield]

@@ozzythemozzi9427 yes it will come out on xbox. There is just on eta at the moment

[@emilkaLT5]

THIS game only for PC?

[@axefield]

@@emilkaLT5 at the moment, yes. They intend to bring it to console

[@shivo4328]

Its not better to play archeage chronicles yeah we still need to wait😂

[@axefield]

@@shivo4328 bellwright is still far from complete, but it is good. For console, maybe do archeage chronicles for now😉

[@Biggarou]

can you armed the settlers now?

[@axefield]

@@Biggarou you can not arm npc settlers personally but they have better weapons and armor. Also, by increasing the towns prosperity, the will get even netter weapons and armor😊

[@bender5561]

Geez this is starting to sound like 3rd person manor lord's with multiplayer...

[@troy5370]

Except Manor Lords sucks

[@bender5561]

@troy5370 does it? Haven't played since the first release. It was pretty alpha but I thought it had potential.

[@princedoge4586]

Honestly the this might be more my thing. The Manor Lords stated that he’s not focused on combat for Manor Lords, but the combat component of the management sim is exactly what attracted me to it
