7,630Here's a video on how TaleWorlds went about designing elements of their world, from the history, to the landmass, to cultures, and how they all (in some cases quite obviously) borrow from the real world. It's also an exploration of what one can learn about worldbuilding from looking at an example like Bannerlord, or really the whole Mount and Blade series.
