Line 131:
* [[Lady Macbeth]]: A female PC can become this to a noble as a way of gaining power.
* [[The Lancer]]: Bunduk and several of the recruitable hero characters. Literally, since they can become lancers in the classical sense of the word, on horseback of course.
* [[Land of the Shattered Empire]]: The Calradic Empire has been gone for a few hundred years, leaving behind several factions who all claim to have a historical right to the rest of the former empire (and thus reason to wage on/off war with their neighbors). Naturally it's up to the player to do something about this. The prequel, ''Bannerlord'', is set just as the empire has split from a [[Succession Crisis]] and its former tributaries have broken off.
* [[Lazy Backup]]: Combine the fact that [[We Cannot Go on Without You|your side automatically loses]] if your character is knocked out with the fact that sieges are done in stages and losing at any stage ends the siege unsuccessfully, and you can get into some seriously weird situations where your guys retreat, dragging your unconscious body out of the castle, through the town, up the walls, and down the siege tower ramp, just because you got knocked out by literally the last defender in the last room of the castle. And then they dismantle the tower, so you have to build a new one.
* [[Leaked Experience]]: Normal exp is granted for killing things yourself, and then battle exp is granted for being on the winning side. Battle exp is shared among all members of the army, even if they didn't actually appear on the battlefield. A viable strategy for leveling up troops that are yet too weak to survive actual combat.
