Isn't it Sargoth

@@kyrieeleison9599 All the names sound slightly different from their Warband versions (Pravend -> Praven, Ocs Hall -> Uxhal, Jaculan -> Jelkala, Galend -> Yalen, etc.). Though the map has also been shifted around a good deal--playing the game, Sargot is a lot further south than Sargoth in Warband, and Ocs Hall is further west than Uxhal.

They are more Kiewer Rus. The "Vegir" got together with Nord Vikings so it's a mix culture of Slavic and nord.

Terry Pennington In my point of view , Sturgians are more Nords (sadly for me) There is some Slavic-Sarmatian elementa..like city Balgrad and other, but banners and names and elites are Nords imo. I like Nordic coulture, but i consider myself Sarmatian origin and this is why i dont like game. Bigest etnic population is not presented in game. Maybe i could go Khergit faction, i dont know... Preety disapointed for Vaegir miss..

It seems accurate to real life because it is. The situation here is pretty clearly based off the Roman Empire and its neighbours in the High Medieval Era. The Empire is the Roman Empire. Battania are the Rus. Vlandia are the Normans. The Sultanate are the Islamic Caliphates. The Khanate are the Avars, Mongols, and various other Eurasian nomads. Battania is bit of an exception as they're probably based off Britannia.

@@Pan_Z the battanian's are celt's

The game is just a fall of rome theme game with a rename of historical actors. That is it.

@@dorianvedrashko9172 yeah, and one of the renamed historical actors are the anglo saxons

Yeah, all the factions are based off of historical ones. The Vlandians are Anglo-Saxons/Normans, the Battanians are Celts, the Imperial factions are the Byzantines, the Sturgians are the Norse/Rus, the Aserai are the Islamic Caliphates, and the Khuzaits are Mongols.

I kinda think of Vlandia as a mix of Anglo-Saxon and Franks. Anglo-Saxon for obvious reasons, but also Franks because the territory they control in Bannerlord is almost as big as the entire map of Warband (in terms of landmass) and they would go on to fracture into the rival kingdoms of Swadia, Rhodoks, and (to a degree) Nords. Much like how the Frankish Empire under Charlemenge eventually fractured into smaller kingdoms in real life.

I'm doing either the Republic or the South.

Surprising people would ever support a bunch of rich aristocrats trying to gain power instead of a renowned general or child of the emperor.

Why Normans settling in Italy? Why not just the Normans in general? Normandy was given to them after all by the French King.

L0rd0fLight because the western Roman Empire, who’s capital was Rome was invaded and taken by barbarians. Similarly, the Vlandians have taken the western Calradian empire, who’s lands contained the old capital. The Vlandians are also based on the Normans, so we can assume they are based on the ones who invaded Italy

Sonderistic The Normans did not invade the Roman Empire, they didn’t even exist during that time. They settled in southern Italy several centuries after its fall. The Roman Empire fell because of internal controversies and bad politics and corruption that led to the invasion of a Germanic rebel army under the leadership of Odoacre. They were mercenaries that rebelled against their superiors basically.

Nameless Hero it’s Odoacer*, not Odoacre, I didn’t say that the normans invaded at that time, I’m saying that they have a similar story to the barbarians that invaded at the time. Given the fact that the Normans invaded Sicily later in history, and that the culture of the Vlandians is based on the Normans, we can assume that they are a mashup of the two.

@@sonderistic7664 I'd rather compare Vlandia to the Latin crusaders that briefly were mercenaries of the Byzantine Emperor against another claimant, but since he could not pay them, they took their pay by sacking Constantinople and establishing their own Kingdoms around the area. The Empire is clearly Byzantium since they have catapracts and such.

I believe this notion was no doubt inspired by the Polish-Lithuanian elective monarchy. Historically, the polish king (elected by the sejm) had no military power because the nobles always checked it, but he would speak for the kingdom diplomatically. Perhaps the sturgian king is weak militarily in Bannerlord? That would be interesting.

@@Ethan-zt7ky Alternatively it was inspired by early Slavic tribal organization (so called martial democracy), where warriors of the tribe elected a leader from amongst themselves (but only for the times od war). However, as the authority of said leader grew with consecutive wars, he would often use it to establish a de facto monarchy, though many decisions unrelated to war would still be made by a popular assembly of the members of the tribe. In this context it would propably mean that one prince had managed to gather enough fame and respect to vassalize most/all of the Sturgian tribes, but he is considered to be only their supreme commander (while he tries to make this post hereditary).

@@wojciechkowalski8061 I suppose that they are inspired by Kievan Rus rather than Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. To many similarities with Styrgians. Additionally it have more sense if we replace Empire with Byzantium en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kievan_Rus%27

It means monarchy in the imperial sense. You see a strict difference in monarchy between Roman/Latin Europe and other Europe (namely Germanic), who elected clan heads, tribe heads, and a head for confederations (of tribes) which you might call a king. Note that England is a mixed form, influenced by French Normans who installed parts of their system onto a Germanic (Anglosaxon) base. That's why it historically has a conflict between parliamentary power and royal power.

Roman Republic: "There shall never be a king of Rome again." also the Roman Republic: "You've consolidated all power into one person, but refuse to be called a king? I'm in Augustus lets go."

@@caiawlodarski5339 I'd say a downright copy if it werent for her daughter

@@caiawlodarski5339 Regent queen who rallied around her offspring as a source of legitimacy(Palmyra), a false emperor(Gallic Empire), and one who is backed by the senate(Aurelianus(granted, only at the end of the conflict, roman senate had their own candidate)). This game's main conflict is heavily inspired by the Crisis of the Third Century alright

@@satriaputrapratama4703 It is, but it still has significant differences.

I wish. If they added the Mediterranean, it would be perfect with naval battles

It is in a major way, and i don't say this in any negative way as I love it, ripped off from history. So there are probably plenty of shows about history already that cover many of these occurrences!

Pizzaface McBride Oh I didn’t know that lmao.

@@pizzafacemcbride3582 Yeah, it's clear that devs pulled inspiration from a multitude of examples most obviously roman based ofcourse but it's possible some came from other parts as well. How well can you run this game on a laptops btw? I have an I7 6-core 2,60 ghz with an Nvidia 1050 card. I only have a screen of 60 hrtz with max resolution of 1920x1080 native.

Basically, if we go by the world of the early 11th century, the empire is inspired by Byzantium, the Khuzait by Pechenegs/ Kipchaks/ Bulgars, the Aserai obviously stand for Iberian Berbers as well as Seljuq- Turks and Arabs, like the Fatimids, the Sturgians are basically Rus/Varangians, the Battanians may be Irish, Welsh and Highlanders (maybe even Bretons), but they look and have a culture like classical celts of the roman era like Gauls, Britons or Alpine Celts. Finally, Vlandia seems to be 'everything else' of europe, french, german, north italian, polish, english and so on, but if i'd need to specify them more, the closest to them in real life could be the french normans (the guys that conquered england and put all this french into the english language).

@@pizzafacemcbride3582 well every fantasy is ripped of from human history.

It's maybe for historical accuracy for language about how people that conquer place sometime pronounce that same name differently sometime change the writing of that name. Or sometime the writing system change on the country (this case of my country Indonesia back then when we wrote "u" inside word we wrote it with "oe" example name today "Sukarno" back then was like this "Soekarno".)

@@MaxMustermann-ze1iv you seem to be right but the huskarls were specific to the Saxons, a German tribe which moved to great Britain

Sturgia is very much the Kievan Rus, essentially early Russians, Belarussians, and Ukrainians. They not only used all the armor depicted in-game, the Kievan Rus were also usually split into many different principalities, which is why the Sturgians have an aversion to monarchy.

@@plaidpvcpipe3792 Actually this Scandinavian-Slavic mix is not specific to Kievan Rus only. Polabian Slavs like the Veleti fit too. Especially the part about hating monarchy.

How dare you say that about palpatine

Charlie Freeman ever heard of the tragedy of Julius Caesar?

It is not a story the Democratic shills will tell you. It's an authoritarian legend. Julius Ceaser was a great man of the Romans, so powerful and so wise he could use the Senate to influence the minds of the people to create land reforms and armies. He had such a knowledge of how to manipulate people he could even keep the legions he created from dying. Charisma is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful the only thing he was afraid of losing was his power, which eventually of course, he did. Unfortunately, he told the Senate about all of his future ambitions and they killed him during a meeting. Ironic, he could save his legions from death, but not himself.

@Imperatis what a masterpice

Julius Caesar, the Shakespeare play, is about a tyrant taking control of Rome by force and killing their Republic; senators tried to save it by assassinating him, but the moronic plebs only worship power. Read Act 3 and tell me it doesn’t sound like people you’ve probably met. Brutus was the most noble of all Romans, and his enemies even say this at the end of the play. Caesar turned an historic Greco-Roman republic into a fascist empire, which eventually consumed itself through endless war and strife. Death always to tyrants.

long live the queen!

Well I'll go for the senate, I'll restore the Republic, claim my self it's saviour and years later take the power as emperor...irronaclly

As a Roman I'll help the general.

So since we got petitions for all 3, I'll run down why I say they "could be corrupt" 1) a rich patrician Senate can be for the rich instead of the people. Maybe the late Emperor was forced to support them. 2) There must be a reason the Emperor did not name his child as heir, and his wife might be an Agrippina type; a puppet master. 3) A general would appeal to the plebian peoples, and he'd be a hero in the eyes of many, but it could turn into a dictatorship, and there were times when the Legions appointed Emperors and they didn't always turn out great. I think i might support the West however.

In the meritocratic perspective : Garios has the merit to be nominated Emperor. He dedicated and fought his entire life for the Empire. What have the other ''claimants'' done so far?

Yep, regent queen, false emperor with senate at his back, and the one true emperor bidding his time outside of the capital.

As or the troop types. A lot of heavy cavalry with a few horse archers; perhaps some medium infantry with long pikes and hell why not some early firepower? Perhaps Song/Tokugawa era inspired?

@@wu1ming9shi Yeah most Bannerlord factions seem to be combinations of cultures or really abstract versions of a big culture. Maybe India could also work as it is culturally quite distinct. Maybe combining the Mughal Empire into it as well. The Chinese/Japanese one could also add in those Korean hats for lower tier units. Plenty of stuff to make an unique faction I feel. There could even be a faction in the south taking inspiration from Mali and that western-Africa region. Yeah I'm Dutch, most people seem to think it is a fancy French word. ;)

@@Spartiatai300 Bwahahaha! French! of all languages! Thanks for the laugh mate. I'm Belgian...Flanders I guess. Always difficult to explain to people lol.
