Calculation – Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

by Falagar / Articles, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Guides / 14 May 2022

Calculation represents the degree to which characters focus on their long-term goals as opposed to following their emotions. The opposed trait is Impulsive. An Impulsive character may be just as clever as a calculating one, just less able or less inclined to keep their passions in check. Lieges will generally prefer their vassals to be calculating, to rein in their own personal resentments and fears for the sake of the kingdom. But other characters may distrust calculating characters, as their reactions to favors or insults are much harder to predict. Impulsive characters may also find it easier to deter enemies, as they are more likely to pursue a vendetta even if they too suffer. Players can increase Calculation by accomplishing goals without fighting, including through Persuasion.
