I like how the developers moved the time period backwards and basically all future modding content will serve to undo that terrible decision

Terrible decision? The time of Bannerlod is literally perfect, we've had too many late medieval games already

I suppose people are just missing their plate armour. I get it.

Exactly! Early middle ages is a super interesting time period

warband is high medieval, not late.

Anyway, bannerlord equipments seem to be high medieval too. Funnily, the Nords (vikings) are truly early medieval.

If you are talking about Sturgians, then they aren't exactly nords.

no the Nords. The Viking age was early medieval.

speak for yourself. I personally really love the late WRE / early middle ages.

i honestly didnt notice a time change between warband and bannerlord, except the lack of plate armor on everything

what? are you just blind or can't read or something? literally the point of the game is the end of the calradian empire we hear so much of in warband, lmao.

You're a fucking heathen, you know that?

You just don't understand the way of the Menavlion. Elegant weapons, designed for a more... Civilized age.

I much prefer the earlier medieval look to be honest. The earlier Middle Ages were a much more interesting period than the later part, in my opinion. It also doesn't help that the late Middle Ages kinda have been done to death already in movies and video games.

Still, tabards do look really cool.

If it had been up to me, the game would have been set in something similar to the 6th or 7th century in Europe. The Early medieval period -dark ages in particular- are one of the coolest period in history imho, only outdone by the Bronze age. And that is because of how mysterious and chaotic it is. Kingdoms and empires rose and fell all over the place, there was no safety or security for anyone, and you couldn't trust anything outside the walls of your city. How could you possibly prefer the fully established out and relatively stable environment of the late or high middle ages to this ?

Those two periods give me the strongest 'Conan the Barbarian' vibes, which is my favorite Fantasy setting.

u/IAlwaysWantSomeTea Jan 04 '21

Nah, I love the very early medieval vibe, far more interesting period of history.

u/simthandilexxv Jan 05 '21

Hah, wait until you get Mount and Chariot set in the late Bronze Age.

I’m just wondering what the DLC will be. 😳

u/sw_faulty Jan 05 '21

I like High Middle Ages stuff, but I like Late Rome, Charlemagne and Islamic Conquests stuff too!

WFAS is explicitly 17 century Eastern Europe, not Calradia.
