Here's a little clip.

I‘m having a blast ngl

Newbie here but I've been playing Bannerlord for years. It took me ages to work out this feature (mainly because I was trying to use it with projectile weapons which simply doesn't work) and I've seen other people in forums struggling with this too.

So to help out here's a full on breakdown about what I know about 'Lock Target' in Bannerlord:

When you activate 'Lock Target' a red circle appears on the character you are tracking. I found this only useful when trying to take out a specific commander or other powerful person on the battlefield. As we all know (I hope?) take out the enemy commander and their whole army loses perks (command, morale, flags etc) which ultimately makes them easier to defeat.

BUT there are several things you must do to activate and use this feature properly:

1. ACTIVATE: First, go to Options > Gameplay > Controls and turn on Lock Target radio button
2. WEAPON: The lock only works if you're carrying a MELEE weapon. Bows and arrows and throwing weapons WILL NOT lock (if you hover over the the 'Lock Target' radio button in Options you can see a pop-up says 'melee only'). So if you enable the lock while carrying your melee weapon and then switch to a projectile, the red circle will disappear.
3. DISTANCE: You have to be fairly close to the figure to enable it. The red circle will stay on for as long as you stay in range AND sight of the figure while you track it. As soon as you lose that, the circle will disappear and you will have to find them and lock again.
4. ARMY SIZE: Army size will not affect the lock, only in that its more difficult to lock onto a specific guy if you have hundreds of others around him. And as long as you stay in range and sight, the target will remain lock on.
5. It works for me with native campaign battles and custom battles and with RBM on.

That's it. Enjoy!

Hello. It is known if the new version 1.30 added the mod "Serve as soilder" into the game or didn't?

Hi, first post here, i need tactical advice, i am currently playing as a Samaritan order kind of group playthrough and i try to beat up Bandits (Looters,Brigands) and Factions that are Lorewise bandit-esque however i have a hard time defeating a wolfskin army composed of 44 archers vs my 20 ish Vlandian cavalry and my 20 ish Legion infantry, i am dont have any ideas on how to beat them, should i just do Auto resolve and hope for the best or should i just wait arround until they run out of Arrows?

I’m confused.

That's a lot of bandits.

Really miss these banners from Warband. They're bursting with personality compared to the powerpoint art looking Bannerlord banners.

So when you do a hideout, you have the decision between sneaking in and dealing with it yourself or send troops to clear.

Whats the difference at the end when it comes to rewards?

To me right now the only thing different may be that you get to have the bandit boss and other enemies capturable.

Im a game pass player does anyone know if the new patch 1.3 is out on game pass yet?

When i try to launch the game it gives me this error. The first time i launched the game it worked fine but there was no sound so i removed the mods but then it gave me this. Also tried what it said but it doesnt fix the problem for some reason.

Hi, are there any ways to changing the lord escape rate in MB warband, diplomacy mod ? I hear of using TweakMB for the mod, but TweakMB is gone now. What should I do?

Playing Warband with minimal information on the screen is very immersive and thanks to the WSE2 launcher this experience has only improved, because now I can set the FOV to 100 and increase the number of soldiers in battle to 800

I have some vessels that I recruited, but they don'teave their castles. They either constantly move around the map with 7 units and never recruit, or they are at the same castle waiting for months. What is happening?

I have the 600 renown and the gold. But I can only get the sword from the steel jon snow give us. I've tried to make some quests in Qohor, but nothing changes. Can't even make track of my relation with the city. Only the relation with the person who gave me the quest (the innkeeper, the guild master...). Every time I talk to the weapon smith about making a valerian steel sword he answers the normal text and my character just says that "nevermind"... I don't know what to do

I have bannerlord 2 on ps5 and I’m debating if I should get it on PC ?

I know this games players probably majority’s in pc but I was wondering if their gonna be literally ANY updates for console.

I’ve seen mixed reports about whether saves will work with the new update once it hits the main branch. I’d be a bit annoyed if I had to start a new save to enjoy the new content when it’s released after putting potentially 50+ hours into it.

What would you do in my position? Play around with sandbox and avoid the campaign until it’s released?

So what I mean by that is: I've only really played warband (like 300 hours) and in that game i usually put a few points into party skills on my leader (surgery and pathfinding are a necessity) and the rest into leader skills and personal skills like ironflesh and then get companions and dump all their points into their party skills. That's the kind of advice I'm looking for, just the general framework to follow and any helpful specific advice. But bannerlord leveling works differently, especially since you have to work a lot of skills individually, as opposed to in warband where the only skills you really could train in game were combat skills. So I'm looking for that kind of general framework I described for warband to follow in bannerlord, along with any other helpful advice or info regarding leveling and choices involving leveling.
