So, does anyone know if the children born to other characters during the game can marry the player character's children.  Obviously not the character, as the character would be too old (max age to marry is 40 without mods).

Yeah, I always gathered that the Wanderers existed to fill in until they got around to creating Companions.  I wonder what will happen to the Wanderers once Companions are implemented.  I kinda like them, but I miss the free noob Companions that I could train up right.  With the cost of Wanderers, I actually expect them to pull their weight, but the side effect of that is that most of them are level 10 or so and thus past the quick-and-easy leveling stage.

i suspect we'll have both. companions, who may start lower level so you can train them into what you want but with a focus in one area and they have unique stories; wanderers, who start higher level and fill gaps needed in your clan/empire and are randomly generated and generic.

I didnt even realize there was supposed to be a separate companion system!

Also my game keeps crashing on startup, even on launcher start sometimes.

I mean, if you install mods before there's official mod support.....

Also can we not have 45 "the Wronged" female characters? I get it, it's 2020 but I feel like I'm being beaten over the head with it.

Seems heavily RNG based. My first campaign I had a few of those. My current one has zero, and few female wanderers at all for that matter.

Sounds like something is corrupted. I have had several weird issues with the game pop up - crashes, graphic glitches, etc. -  after updates. Try validating game files. I did it after this latest update and it found 17 files that needed to be replaced.

Probably a good idea to delete everything in your mods folder as well as any core files those mods have overwritten as well before verifying. From there, reinstall the mods a few at a time and test it. I also reccomend picking a version of the game and sticking with that, ignoring updates, until the EA has more content and stability.

Honestly I'd say don't install mods that overwrite core files. I only install mods that need to be enabled/disabled in the launcher. Then if I get a crash, I can simply disable my mods and see if it still happens.

I'm being deliberate in my mod not to do anything to break save compatibility and to make all the options fully modular. Every aspect of it can be toggled off, and if it's off it doesn't do anything at all. That way I can add/remove it to an existing save without issues, and toggle things on and off if anything happens. That way if a new update or another mod breaks one aspect of it it can just be turned off until some fix can be found for it. I also started adding null checks to all my variables, even the ones that shouldn't be able to be null lol. I already fixed one crash by adding a null check for member rosters of parties. I don't know how the person with the crash had a null member roster of one of their garrisons since all the code that would remove it just removes the whole party instead, but with all the mods out there? The core game doesn't even null check any of its member rosters, only the parties.

Looking at some of the mods out there with a decompiler leads to some facepalm moments, even for someone like me who barely knows C# (before this I just knew barely enough to edit some websites written in it). Dividing things by variables that could equal zero, or using Math.Pow on a number that can be negative.

For those who don't know, dividing by zero is bad - if done to a float it gives you infinity. And Math.Pow returns NaN if used on a negative number. And NaN is treated as an infinite value too. Stuff like this is how mods end up jacking your skills up to 1023.

I only have module style mods.

Marriage in Calradia:

I think the gestation period of Calradians is like 4 months. I got married and had 9 kids 3 years later.

I like to imagine that humans in this alternate universe are actually just squishy pink amphibians, and lay clutches of eggs.

On a side note: Wtf even is mounted one-handed combat in this game, my God! v_V

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Well I think an ingame year is like <80 days? So yuh.

Also mounted one handed combat can bit a bit hit or miss.

ALSO, after a very painful process of elimination I've fixed my mods. Ugh.

Two reasons: so you can hit their elite troops with blunt objects instead of sharp and random them off for cash

And because cutting down fleeing enemies with your sabre as you drive them before your horde is more satisfying than lancing them

[Paul]

You just need an absurdly long 1h weapon for mounted combat. With blacksmithing you can make 1h swords with 131 reach lol.

Ofcourse you can also make 2h polearms that can be thrusted 1h if you need a shield and swung 2h for crazy slashing damage and 275 reach...

My 275 reach glaive just looks silly being swung. The tip sometimes just scrapes through the ground and the shaft kills my target.


-edit-
Reading the steam forums after the update is kind of funny. There must have been 50 threads about crashing due to people updating their game and just blindly launching with 20 broken outdated mods and then blaming the game for the crash. Even on fully released games you can't get a new patch and just expect a huge list of mods to all work as expected still. When 1.2.0 was a beta, everyone using Bannerlord Tweaks were complaining about the same issues but with less frequency. Now 1.2 hits the main branch and everyone is still using bannerlord tweaks and other mods and going "game is broke!"
