not really

When this game first was advertised years and years ago, 500 player support seemed something incredible. Huge upgrade from warbands 200 players.

Nows its something like 700player support? Anyway this doesnt matter because bannerlord supports self hosted 1000 slot servers, war of the rights also supports like 400 slot so

this huge support of player numbers is not something you can brag about now.

It took so much time for developers to release this game which is also a problem.

holdfast also took a lot of players which would end up playing this game if it wasnt for holdfast.
Holdfast is a really crap game with broken melee combat. I wonder how people can cope with such bad combat and play that game. Holdfast got advertised by youtubers for some reason and that is why many people bought holdfast. Holdfast looks good on outside but the gameplay and melee is just bad. I also tried to play holdfast event once, unplayable.
Holdfast is really crap game that was advertised everywhere a lot .


Another problem may be that ehm players got older and stopped playing games and moved on with life :D You cant except same people who played NW to stick around for years (or maybe you can)


Anyway there is sword and musket mod for bannerlord, which aims to replace NW, I tried to play it, anyway I can tell you that it suffers from huge bugs, crashing, and invisibility bug where players are invisible, I tried it multiple times after 4 months they didnt fixed invisibility bug,

so, battle for best type of this game is not over yet, maybe this game will shine one day,


Those are my thoughts


I dont think I would have bought this game even if it costed more money

About that 700 players or more - it is a blushit. Short after cavalry update there was an public event with around 600-700 players but server could not handle it, so it had to be splitted on two smaller ones.

The problem with Holdfast is it not that its very focused on classic person to person combat? I remembered that I loved the Napoleon DLC for Mount & Blade and the mod that was before. Hold fast is it not just a sort of revamped M&B graphicswise? I dont think they got cavalry in it, not sure though.

I think playerslots are quite important. The only server I´ve seen with masses of people in Bannerlord is CRPG where there usually are like 150 pple playing and also in events game with linebattles.

My main problem with this game is that I have been struggling to get the graphics look like they do in the trailer and I have a quite good computer and I fail how to make it look better
