The chaos creates a dangerous world, with opportunities to capitalise on the uncertainty of the future. The empire of Calradia is plagued by inner conflict, tearing the structure of the old order as new lines are drawn on the map. The trading caravans are extremely useful in Bannerlord, costing you a fair bit to maintain to begin with, but soon paying dividends on the initial investment. The Aserai is entirely viable as a starting faction, with the reduced trade penalty being useful throughout the game and the reduced cost of caravans allowing you to purchase one much sooner. It is advised that you choose this on a later playthrough, as you will have no specific speed boosts to basic gameplay mechanics in the same way that the other factions provide in the early game.
The construction and repair bonuses that come with choosing the Empire faction are more applicable in mid to late game scenarios, when you actually have the capability to capture and sustain multiple settlements. If you try to move with precision atop a snowy mountain range, it will be much more difficult to corner a foe. This however requires practice, and a good deal of luck based on the type of terrain that you’re moving through. On the other hand, if you navigate the map effectively, you may be able to zig-zag your way around an ememy, forcing them into a tight spot where their speed advantage is nullified. You can earn much more XP and money by taking out numerous small groups of enemies, rather than being forced to chase potentially larger ones while exposing yourself to danger. In light of this, although the Vlandian faction bonus seems initially enticing, it won’t do you much good if you you’re unable to pursue enemies in the first place. This can result in your forces being exposed to other dangers such as larger armies, your supply chains being cut off, and your settlements made vulnerable. It is for this reason that speed plays a surprisingly central role in Bannerlord if your enemies are faster than you are, they may elude you for great distances around the map. In this way you can hunt them down without chasing them all over the map. This will allow you to take advantage of small groups of enemies which will be light on their feet or on horseback.
To begin with, choosing a faction with movement speed bonuses is advised. With so much to learn, mistakes will be made and you may want to reconsider your faction configuration. The first playthrough will most likely not be your only playthrough. Forests give 10% less speed penalty to parties.
