when an army is formed you pay the initial influence cost to get the army to join you and then have to pay an upkeep for everyday they stay with you. for example they recruit in the same way so no more magically building up an army, they have to feed there armies build up influence, can permanently die etc.Īrmies - so instead of a Marshall being declared and a campaign forming where all the lords sort of run together to attack something armies can be formed using influence. renown is still in the game and differs in the renown is more how famous you are in the world enemy factions wont care what your influence is and i believe is only really used on lords in your faction.ĪI lords - AI lords have to do all the same things the player has to do. there is a lot of different uses it essentially represents your power to do things in a faction. you use influence to get lords to do things for you such as follow you, form armies, to create votes such as giving a fief to someone. Influence - influence is a new currency that is gained by winning battles and doing missions similar to renown. depending on your relation with these notables depends on the amount of troops and what troops you can recruit giving you a reason to do quest for these notables to build up how quickly you can rebuild your army up after it is defeated.

these characters can be found in villages/castles/towns.

Recruitment System - you no longer recruit directly from villages you recruit from characters called notables. while levelling up your skills you also unlock perks which allow you to create different builds for example you have a choice of two perks in one handed swords one might increase damage on foot while the other increases damage on horseback. instead of skill points you put points into different skills which makes you gain exp in them faster. Levelling system - you level based on what you do e.g using one handed sword levels it up similar to skyrim.
