Mount & Blade Thread

Has anyone done the Hidden Cache quest in WFaS?

Rhodorks leave

Ok Sultanate and Khaegirs declared war on me. They own something like 70% of the world.
The final war has begun.

Be sure to kill as many as you can before falling

Surgery at level 10 + companion at 10. 75% of my army are Floris is over C5 Swadian calvary. Killing 500 while losing 20 people. Suno current capital stuffed with over 500 units plus my army.
Let them come.

DEUS VULT

...

Rhodocks survived a month. Sultan Hakim lasted less than a week.
Deus Vult indeed.

multiplayer is the only thing you should be playing

WRONG

Leave nigger
Play 100% difficulty you little bitch

why when MP is more challenging and not mind numbingly boring

Kill thyself Reddit scum

Quests and interactions are pretty limited, AI is simplistic and grinding for relations isn't fun at all, user. This game only excels in battles. You can also play a RP mod to partake in non-battle gameplay.

What a fucking faggot, bet you only play action games like a normalfag nigger too

...

Those drums always remind me of this

I've nearly beaten the game several times, always quit on the final stretch because it's a complete drag to play at a point. Everything is superficial and half-assed, even with mods. Once you get to maximum power and all that remains is to conquer the rest of the map, I cannot be bothered.

Vanilla is fucking shit, I can't understand. Every lord, city and village gives the same 4 quests over and over. Tournaments and sieges are broken, pretty much a joke with no effort to get around AI limitations. Very few interactivity with locations. It's clearly unfinished, I don't get how the developer thought it was acceptable to release it in such a state.
If I want to play an RPG to be immersed in, I'll play an actual, real RPG.

Nobody cares how much Beth dick you sucked back in 2008 due to Fallout 3.

you tried

Why won't they give us a release date, guys? Why do they make us wait so long?

Turkroaches live off the tears of the innocent.

That explains never ever.

The singleplayer is really more of a tutorial to get you ready for multiplayer, that's why all of the quests and empire building feels tacked on and shallow. The combat mechanics are the really fun part of the game, even if they are a bit wonky at times.

Singleplayer is also just something to do when you're not getting your ass handed to you by the no-life neckbeards who've been playing this game for 7 years straight.

The original M&B release didn't even have a multiplayer component, stop pulling shit out of your ass.
Who would have known

can someone post the jpgs explaining how play the game? my friend need help

I'm on day 650 or so. My kingdom consists of 1 castle & the max amount of troops I can have is about 220 if I want to keep my morale out of the not-shit zone, despite dumping nearly all my levels into charisma and leadership. All towns have garrisons of 600 minimum and I'd be crushed by the subsequent armies even I managed to take them. Can't fight bandits & sea raiders and stuff, they're much too fast for me to catch up to and they're worth next-to-no XP for my army anyways. The nords have only their capital left and the rhodoks lost half their territory to the swadians & sarranids a while ago and haven't been to war since. Both are the factions that I've been grinding relation with since the beginning of the game. I'm in a progress purgatory. What am I supposed to be doing?

stock up on food
git gud
load up on ranged soldiers and cheese the nord capital by shooting up walls, dying and retreating once the archers run out of ammo
do that until the garrison becomes managable in a single fight
garrison the town with 400+ soldiers ASAP so the AI pushes conquest priority to the back of the bus
after the initial siege start harassing towns and castles and recruit a lord that you give all your holdings but the town so he has a sizable army to defend against random lords
after that starts conquering shit left and right and recruit a lord each 3 or so castles that you conquer

I have a gorrillion pieces of bread and cabbage.
A bit cheaty but that is not something I've really put into practice. I'll give it a shot
How.
Thanks for the response though

DIFFERENT food, each food type adds a morale bonus
also every time youre in a town invest in some entertainment
with your hands
prepare a full siege force plus future garrison in the castle you own, take the town, garrison whats left of the siege force, the transfer the actual garrison to the town
if the castle is too far away to defend both, you can use it as bait while you take your sweet time to ferry the troops
stock up on a lot of cash before starting this, you wont be able to grind it while securing the town

Spent the last few hours attempting to make any of it work. No matter what, their entire army is immediately sent towards the town I capture. Same for every faction, every town, and no matter how many troops are where. Their troop counts are anywhere from 1700 min to 2400 max, in the case of Swadia. Good idea in theory, not in practice. Thanks anyways, though.

Nigger how can the nords fucking counter attack if they only have a single town.
Harass and imprison remaining nord lords individually since they should have shit for army sizes, then go in for the kill.
How much right to rule do you have?

Because they have a few castles too. If they don't attack me while I'm preparing ladders they attack me immediately after I take the town.
That's what I'm doing now
I've already had my kingdom for some time, it's not an issue of other factions also declaring war because I don't have enough, but if you mean something else it's 12.

You're saying you're on day six hundred-and-fifty and you have TWELVE RtR?

If you're going to save scum it, just crank the difficulty down.

Plebs, all of you

Yes? You get three from sending out a companion, which I've done four times. Never seen a need for more.

you do realise RtR goes up to 99 right?

disgusting

I dont have the patience to regrind shit after the retardest of mistakes, so Im gonna savescum when bullshit happens that I was could not predict, like a 1000 soldiers rapestack of barely visible on the background dark purple, or a pyrric defeat by 5 soldiers

I'm not bashing you for it m8. I do the same shit. I'm saying that it would make more sense to crank the difficulty down for a battle you clearly can't win.

I just make saves on the 30th of each month precisely at 11:59 p.m.

REMOVE

It's nice to see that someone took the time to make a Star Wars total conversion.

>With all of the CPU and hard drive optimisations we try to achieve

Based

right at lunch time
did they anounce a date?

Stopbitching though, let them release the game when they want, we know its coming without it being vaporware.

honestly if they release now i will need a metal plate on my forehead and a new wall because i just lost my whole computer in a eletricity bullshit thing

...

wtf

So I should get Ryzen?

it's the only smart CPU choice. Intel is a decade behind right now.

It was amazingly bad and funny at the same time, the guy was soulless, he made the AMD CEO chink look good, like, I actually like her behaviour right now, she actually has energy despite the shilling and didn't push the Esports even as half as the Intel corporate tool did.

>With all of the CPU and hard drive optimisations we try to achieve

I'd rather they do it like this than shit out another unoptimized game in an increasing sea of unoptimized games. This is what I want devs to do. Actually pay close attention to how well things run on older hardware so it can run even better on newer stuff.

It looks like a 360 game, shouldn't be hard to optimize it.

Holy hell, how new are you?

A lot of performance related shit comes as a result of having a shitload of AI all in one area interacting with each other.

Anyone else hear about this? Apparently it's Napoleonic Wars but with a few new things and better graphics, a lot of NRP guys and admins are going to be playing it

Did it get better? I remember the elf mary sues were fucking horrible, but had god-tier music.

elves are for the stockpiling

It still has all the bullshit its known for but the devs caved in to the players as of late, implementing a bunch of community tweaks into mainline releases. Troops got normalized around the lvl30 mark instead of lvl40 so while top tier troops will still fuck you up, you actually can go toe to toe with a vikang huscarl assuming comparable gear. You can field your own ridiculous rapestacks and the AI actually does clean house from time to time, removing independant rapstacks from the map by itself.
Theres a fuckton of new siege and battle scenes that can accomodate 600+ battlesizes.
Custom knighthood orders that with enough dedication makes you a god amongst gods on the battlefield.
Rune sword is still useless.

TL;DR: it still has all the ridiculous bullshit people complain about but you can counter with your own ridiculous bullshit now.

speaking of which

Sure, Mattenhim troops are beasts, and Forlorn hope will turn almost anyone into mince meat in melee…..but…
If you can't outrun a 100% foot force, you are truly terrible.

That was meant as a joke fam. The joke was that Mettenheim expeditions are walking meatgrinders that you shouldnt put your hand into.
You can outrun ANY independent rapestack unless you go into the rape woods with low pathfinding.
I just so happened to run into it twice in a row while carelessly ctrl+spaceing around.

...

Trying Medieval Conquest mod for the first time.
First impressions: at least the women dont look like weird china dolls.
In the mere 23 minutes that I have been playing so far, two lords have already died. Does anyone know if new lords appear? Or are the finite? Will there be a point where the world is barren of named characters? Because they seem to be dying off rapidly.

I've been looking at some other mods to play. Got pretty far into a Pendor run and had my own kingdom going pretty well but I ended up getting frustrated with some of the unit types and figured I might explore something else.

Can anyone vouch for Perisno or should I just pick up something else entirely?

Friendly reminder that Bannerlord never.
That's right
NEVER EVER

Making a game. An RPG. I thought of turning it into a M&B type game. Except combat wouldn't be like M&B. I'd just have to have it autoresolve.

If the autoresolve is fair and not retarded like M&B where you always lose a bunch of guys even to just small parties of looters, do you think this would work? It'd need to have a lot more to do with quests and interacting with villages and stuff to do to make up for the lack of real combat, but do you think this would work?

Only other thing is maybe there could be some input from the player. Maybe random events can happen during a battle, and you have to make a decision. The player would have skills which affect the outcome.

Personally, the Mounting & Blading part of the game is the most fun, so why would I play something with the best parts of it missing? I think just have auto resolve would be boring and predictable at who you would win against, because in M&B it's possible to win battles with a larger opposing force using skill, which can't be replicated with an auto resolve and a quiz in the battle.
Also, actually seeing your army grow and advance into an elite class of soldiers on the battlefield is a part of what makes the campaign mode great. That's just my take on it.

...

Nobody knows? Am I the first one here to try this mod?

You can cheese half of an Mattenheim army with a horse archer character, ended up leveling 6 times while fighting a Mattenheim stack.

Alright, I'll have to come up with some kind of strategy battle system where you move units around.

I can keep making the rest of the game like I'm doing and then add that later.

It's best when there's a colored minimap you can look at. Absolutely love making my own borders.
Probably the most irritating thing is being declared war on for no apparent reason (casus belli system is a must in Bannerlord), and then not wanting to take too many castles because

Faggot.

Should be agility/charisma tbh

Still can't believe they used Mount&Blade music in Game of Thrones.

Wait, what?

That last series of GoT they ripped a bit of the music for when the Dorthraki LARP as Khergits. It is only in it for like 10 seconds but noticeable

Well, since I'm too much of a prude to enjoy that normalfag-tier show, please point me in the direction of the episode you speak of.

S7E4
Indicated in this perfect for Holla Forums webm

Looks like NPCs can create kingdoms in this. So far, four or five lords have been killed off.

What mod can I be a bad guy without shitty penalties? Seriously tired of having to go honor all the time. The benefits of honor means more likely to become marshall and bonus to relation with honor lords but what about dishonor? 300 denars from bounty hunting and nothing else, fucking bullshit.
I've already played lich in phantasy calradia.

What mod?

Sorry for off-topic but I once had diarrhea so bad I called my local emergency number and told operator I'm afraid I die, ambulance came over, checked my vitals and seemed mostly sympathetic/at least not that angry since I probably was still obviously sick not just really dying. Slept the next night on the hallway floor next for minimum distance to toilet.

Please never post in my Mount & Blade thread ever again

Did you also do the edit with helmet and "Mount your Friends" label?

Hes obviously talking about the consequences of watching Game of Thrones

Perisno is alright, but do not go in expecting balance. There are clear OP units that belong to certain factions, other factions are basically useless, etc. The equipment selection is also pretty weak for how large the mod is.
Basically, its unfinished but it's worth a shot.

Medieval Conquests.
It's 1257 AD but with improvements. I'm actually liking it.
Lords can be killed in battle/ be executed.
Ladies all have unique faces.
Horse textures were fixed.
There's a succession system that lets princes take over when kings die.
Background stories are expanded, letting you start as a bandit, adventurer, vassal, prince, or king.
Taverns have drinking games, cards, and dice.

They were broken?

About 60% of the horses looked like they were wrapped in cellophane and the same was true for all chain armor. You used to have to drag over a file from a completely different mod to fix it.

holy fuck this is amazing thank you user how did I not know about this

Just two things to know since I've been playing it. There's this annoying bug where your character name keeps changing to "Archbishop" and you have to keep changing it back. Also, lords seem to die off rapidly and I'm not sure if they ever replenish.

I thought it was a line from GRRM's new book?

any good mod with dueling in mind?
i'm sick of leading a warband, i just want to go and show the nobles how much more superior to them i am
closest i've gotten to this is by setting tournament sizes to always be 1v1 with two handed swords and no mounts, but everyone there fights exactly the same
one of the GOT mods had the option to duel nobles, but they were somewhat overpowered there

You want to duel? What about dueling servers?

what about shoving your multiplayer up your ass
i want singleplayer roleplaying, but with less warband focus

Well lad, the game has Warband in the name for a reason. How would something like that even work?

nigga i don't know, that's why i'm asking

get good maybe lad
get enough good and you'll be able to duel other players!

no amount of gud can make my frying pan slice through noble plate armor

then get a better weapon?

are you gonna suggest other mods than GOT or are you just gonna tell me to play the game how i don't want to play it?

I don't have any suggestions, just curious why you can't beat a single unit in battle.

because i just started the mod and all i had was a frying pan that couldn't do any damage to the noble's armor
and i don't want to sit through GOT gameplay just to improve my weapon

...

stop bullying me

If you really want to duel lords, why don't you just run around vanilla asking ladies if they need a champion?

it's a slower process, they usually don't need a champion

That's because they are strong and independent. You can duel the ladies if you take the quest to escort them and then visit a training field. They also take off their clothses off.

Anyone play Fire and Sword or Red Wars? F&S is pretty fun to LARP as a soldier in a three way holy war, even if it takes all of one shot to kill you. Red Wars is M&B after WWI so you have commies, fascists, and monarchists galore.

They do it because they love us.

So maybe lords replenish after all. Because I'm beginning to see lords with ridiculous names, such as this one.

You have to go back.

...

...

Lords die in Anno?

alright, any mod that has a good amount of features in it?
warband enhanced has diplomacy, pbod and freelancer, but it requires 1.143
as far as i know native expansion doesn't have pbod or freelancer so it kind of sucks
anything else?

the kang of features is Nova Aetas, its also the kang of FEATURES
the might and magic mod got them magicks
PoP has a lot of unique features but also a lot of assrape

You can execute them.

Is there a Might and Magic mod that doesn't force you to go into town to talk to the village elder or guildmaster? It's an extreme pain in the ass to be lose that quality of life

This is medieval conquests. Not Anno. They can die in battle too.

I'm still playing the vanilla version.
How naive am I? are there any mods that I have zero excuse for not using? that is, things that make the game better with zero drawbacks?

If you have Bloodmoon installed then you need the solstheim rumor fix mod, otherwise you miss ALL the rumors.

Nevermind I thought I was in a different thread.

Native expansion isn't too bad, it's pretty much just vanilla with a few tweaks.

Pretty fucking ebin.

Ok, this mod is kind of cool. Buggy as fuck though.

Is there any Warband mod with a Springfield Trapdoor Rifle?
