Pretender Wars

[h3]Dear Ladies and Lords of the Realm,[/h3]

Hey everyone! New Pretender Wars round is up - and "unranked" games are also constantly being hosted!

[h3]The Age of Pretenders - Update[/h3]

While there were some timid attempts, it seems that no one managed to challenge the pretender in the first game, so House Elliott remains the pretender to the throne. The next Pretender Wars round has just started, giving you another chance to defeat them and restore order in the realm!

To make the reward a bit more enticing, if someone manages to win one of the Pretender Wars games, they'll not only receive unique heraldry elements but it'll be packed into a "Pretender Bloodline" achievement that will appear on their player profile. Additionally, the active Pretender will always receive a special, highlighted role on our discord server (if they are present there).

You can find a few starting tips in a new, bite-size steam guide here on Steam:

Bannerlords and ladies, to Arms!



[h3]Demo Games[/h3]

We also keep hosting demo games to fine-tune the existing rulebook settings, as well as to explore different scenarios (remember, all game rules are moddable!) based on community feedback and ideas. For everyone aspiring to defeat the pretender, or just wanting to check the game, it is a great place to practice or explore the game's basics!

Since the last demo update, there have been significant changes in both the economic and warfare settings - such as more pronounced differences between levies and mercenary (career soldier) units - and victory conditions for alliances have also been added, among a host of other changes.

Generally speaking, it’s worth checking these games weekly or bi-weekly to see what’s changed and, if you like, provide feedback on them even if the client doesn’t receive an update! Especially if you're a new player or returning after a break, sharing your experience would be a huge help. We're raffling off heraldry elements among those who provide feedback on our discord!

That's it for now, thank you for your time and I hope that you appreciate the news. See you in Feudums!
