Mount & Blade II Bannerlord latest update is heavy on bug fixes. However, it does bring some interesting changes. Update e1.8.0 makes resetting perks of clan members a little easier. From now on, players can reset clan members’ perks via arena master.
AI’s settlement value score calculation is adjusted so defection decisions are more meaningful; the wealth component in that calculation has been removed. A ton of crashing issues in single-player mode has been fixed, which you can read in detail below.
