I really wish they would release news about Bannerlord. I hope they don't just make a new game but improve Warband more, Warband's missing quite a few things but it's a really good game and could be improved easily.

I've been playing Warband for a while but I'm finding it incredibly difficult. Quests are very hard to keep track of, the quest givers seem to disappear and I have to run after them all the time. How long does it take to become a king and have your own empire? By the looks of how it's going it seems to me that it would take forever. Any strategies/tips?

I really wish With Fire & Sword was more detailed. It kills me to see so much wasted potential.

Ooh... the people I encounter in Napoleonic wars [img_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/BONERKING2.jpg[/img_thumb] i love horrendous faces in this game

[QUOTE=KigJow;39895263]I really wish With Fire & Sword was more detailed. It kills me to see so much wasted potential.[/QUOTE] I hope the thirty years war gets re-evaluated by modders for Bannerlord. Renaissance warfare is incredibly interesting, everything from Bows, Pikes, Arquebus's to fucking 6 foot long greatswords. F&S is pretty awesome in concept but it has a lot of issues that detract from how awesome it could have been.

By the looks of how it's going it seems to me that it would take forever. Any strategies/tips?[/QUOTE] For me, the best way to build up relations with lords is to help them out in fights, especially ones where they're outnumbered. The letter deliveries and stuff don't really give you that much of a rep boost, so the only non-war ones I bother with are potentially tax collection or bounty work. Depending on what mods you're running it's best to sign up as a merc once you have a decently numbered force, that way your chosen country is paying your force's upkeep rather than you. Then you can start getting into the bigger fights to get more loot, money and troops. I actually haven't done much with making my own kingdom yet, I mostly just rise as high as I can within an existing faction. Like right now I'm playing Prophesy of Pendor as one of the foremost lords of the Empire.

I wish With Fire and Sword had more factions. Don't get me wrong, these core few are really interesting, but some of the nations (Mainly Muscovite Tsardom) get totally curbstomped by everyone else. And you reload way too fast, it sounds weird to say that but it's true.

1257 AD is my favorite thing, mostly for the auxiliary player feature - get to keep fighting as one of your troops when you die. Does any other mod have that feature and is good?

iirc Freelancer has something like that. [editline]13th March 2013[/editline] Scratch that, nevermind, it only lets you spectate.

yeah, i haven't been able to find any other mod that has it. I am impatient when I die.

[QUOTE=KigJow;39895263]I really wish With Fire & Sword was more detailed. It kills me to see so much wasted potential.[/QUOTE] Its more of a half assed M&B mod

Europe 1200 got updated a little over a month ago. I'm siding with the Prussian Tribes in my current game and it's pretty fun. I also got the idea of making up "achievements" for the mod. Just little things to try out.

Long story about how we got to how we are today. I'll tell it one day, if anyone asks. [QUOTE=yamatino;39893963]Im part of the 8th Regiment of Foot[/QUOTE] Yamatino, friend!

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;40286506]62nd Wiltshire and 98th Highlanders. :)[/QUOTE] Currently with either of those outfits, or did you eventually have a falling out?

[url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-bear-force-ii[/url] This came out fairly recently, its pretty fun, definitely worth a try.

19te here, anyone else?

I installed Prophesy of Pendor over the weekend and have been playing the shit out of it since then. The balancing could do with some tweaking, but I'm loving the in game world and all of the lore.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pic7vQOTdOw[/media] I'm very sorry but I'm probably gonna keep working on this.

What would you guys consider an suitable "end point" for a warband play-though? Something between "Take a city" (because that's too easy) and control the entire landmass (Because Fuck that.)

[QUOTE=ReligiousNutjob;40295758]When you say fuck you to your king, found your own nation and rule the entire continent! that's the only time I'd end a character.[/QUOTE] Yeah, But unless i dedicate ever waking hour of the next two months to it, That ain't possible.

Have anyone here ever done that? I've never been close to doing that. They should have some sort of legends mode like dwarf fortress.

For God's sake, I remember when the Caribbean guys were saying the beta would be out last year. I am getting so annoyed and excited while waiting for it. I don't understand how they could have so much underestimated how long it would take for them to finish a working beta version.
