The new stair mechanics are not fit for purpose. In short, they are total shit.

I have run into several issues trying to build perfectly logical stairs and the game just not allowing it because one end or another would have to intersect a solid, blocked, or otherwise "unreachable" area. For example, building down to a floor, you cannot end with an up/down stair so that you can continue digging from there. Same with building up to a roof.

It has become very clear to me that someone doesn't play their game enough.

gamelog.txt no longer seems to contain anything useful. Soundsense is probably dead forever baring DFHackery

Premium seems a little more like a downgrade every time I try to do anything.

I started playing master mode, but now I think I'll go back to expert. You don't get anything new, and expert was already punishing enough. The extra item slot is tempting, but eh, not worth the pain.

I pick one of three paths:

1) Build near to a friendly outpost, and run there when attacked until you have walls and top-tier gear.
2) Do research and other prep in a city and then slowly move out.
3) Get captured by a slaver faction, then keep trying to "escape" over and over and over until your men are all tough as nails, sneaky, lockpicking, badasses. *Then* go build.

Nowadays I prefer option 3. Having toughness in the 60s or higher makes everything way easier. Option 2 is just option 1, but less adventurous.

A bit of hold duration will be nice, since sometimes I could get into situations where a single AI relentlessly clobbers my shield over and over with no gap large enough for me to try a swing of my own.

In Warband I always favored heavy sabers. Long, but not too long, fast enough, decent hack and slash attacks, etc. I'm still looking for my new favorite weapon in Bannerlord.

What are everybody's favorite money making methods?

I have been shipping cheap wood around (combined with making charcoal at a 3->2 ratio depending on prices) and I built a wood shop in a city that had particularly low wood prices (but it isn't paying out much at all).

Where are you finding mods?

On Nexus of course. They have mods for everything.

My only objection is that Stamina does not regenerate while traveling. You literally have to sit inside a town and let time pass to regain smithing stamina.

If smithing stamina regenerated while traveling I would be fine with it.
