Mount&Blade (Warband too) thread V. Knights of Calradia - Games

I hope for separate nations and boat travel between them.

[QUOTE=KlaseR;35687431]How come every time i fight it says for example "you have 50 fit troops to fight", and in battle many less actually appear (about 25)? I'm sure I give them rest after each battle, and have food and morale up. Someone help, I'm a noob at this game.[/QUOTE] The game has a max battle size, as in how many troops can be on the map at a time. It gives half of that size to you and half to your enemy if both your armies exceed that max. When enough of your troops die, you get reinforcements from the troops left over the cap and the same applies to your enemies. The cap can be adjusted in the options, up to 200 I think, and if you want to go over that, you need the Battle Size enhancer mod/tool.

What do Drums/Flags do? Or are they just there for swag.

If the scale is set to 50, then, if you have 50 troops and enemy has 50, both of you field 25. [editline]23rd April 2012[/editline] Ninja'd :C

I think being near someone playing instruments give you a buff, not sure about flags though.

[QUOTE=proch;35687383]Oh my god, this looks ... exactly the same! Damn, I really was hoping they would use a more open engine. [editline]23rd April 2012[/editline] I honestly hope those are fake.[/QUOTE] [b]alpha[/b] [editline]23rd April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=markfu;35687914]I think being near someone playing instruments give you a buff, not sure about flags though.[/QUOTE] musicians - reload bonus officers - accuracy bonus flags - movement bonus

[QUOTE=Spool;35687815] The cap can be adjusted in the options, up to 200 I think, and if you want to go over that, you need the Battle Size enhancer mod/tool.[/QUOTE] Nope. Well at least you need the battle sizer for M&B, but not warband. Go into my documents/warband/rgl_config and just above the bottom of the text file there's a battle size option. "1" is 150, so "2" is 230 or something.

[QUOTE=Nexosz;35688388][b]alpha[/b][/QUOTE] Exactly, It's already in alpha, so there probably won't be an engine change anymore. It would really need a [B]shit ton[/B] of new, big and awesome features to make up.

just because it's in alpha doesn't mean they aren't going to change anything about it. if you're worried about the graphics, that can still change, not to mention those screenshots are pretty poor quality so it isn't a very accurate representation of the final product. if you're worried about the campaign map being similar, it's only an alpha, those could very well be placeholders - but even if they aren't, so what? how much do you expect it to change?

[QUOTE=Nexosz;35688388][b]alpha[/b] [editline]23rd April 2012[/editline] musicians - reload bonus officers - accuracy bonus flags - movement bonus[/QUOTE] flags give melee and generals give movement

So things are looking up for me. I've now got my own large city and castle, only problem is I eloped with a lady and I lost a shitload of respect from the King and other Jarls. oh well I got loadsamoney

I'm sure I give them rest after each battle, and have food and morale up. Someone help, I'm a noob at this game.[/QUOTE] I think it has to do with the "battle advantage" stat at the beginning of every fight. It's effected by your party's tactics stat and how many of the enemy you're fighting. I think every 2 tactics gives you +1 battle advantage IE 3 battle advantage for you means 50 on your side and 35 on theirs -1 on your side makes it 30 on yours and 50 on theirs Also the fact that party size effects it lets say it's 300 vs 50 on the map, it wont be 150 vs 50 on the field it'll be more like 100 vs 14 hope this helps

This game is fucking great

If i didn't find the melee in this game so laughably bad I would enjoy it a lot more, but with that aside it's still fun as fuck to form lines in the new expansion and take guys out with your muskets. Also seeing groups of 20+ guys get killed with one artillery shot is hilarious

How do I make my own nation/faction? And is it possible to "upgrade" a village to a town and such?

[QUOTE=KlaseR;35692186]How do I make my own nation/faction? And is it possible to "upgrade" a village to a town and such?[/QUOTE] You have to take a fief from one of the other factions. Just be warned that all the factions in the realm might want to fight you.

[QUOTE=KigJow;35692373]You have to take a fief from one of the other factions. Just be warned that all the factions in the realm might want to fight you.[/QUOTE] I tool a fief from the nord king. But that just makes me a nord. what I meant was creating a new faction, not joining an already existing one.

[QUOTE=KlaseR;35692413]I tool a fief from the nord king. But that just makes me a nord. what I meant was creating a new faction, not joining an already existing one.[/QUOTE] You just have to capture castles/cities while not being in a faction. Then you'll get your own faction started and you can appoint your companions fiefs.

[QUOTE=KlaseR;35692413]I tool a fief from the nord king. But that just makes me a nord. what I meant was creating a new faction, not joining an already existing one.[/QUOTE] If you're under oath with the Nords already, you need to denounce them. This will, however, turn the grass outside of your castle into angry Huscarls within 2 days.

[QUOTE=KlaseR;35692413]I tool a fief from the nord king. But that just makes me a nord. what I meant was creating a new faction, not joining an already existing one.[/QUOTE] Do something that would get you a negative reputation for some faction(if you are a vassal of a pre-existing faction, then you'll have to denounce or betray that faction), then you'll be able to besiege a town of castle of theirs since you have hostile relations. When you complete the siege, a rebel player faction will be created.

I founded a kingdom by leading a seige on a town, and when the king didn't grant me the fief, it gave me the option to keep it for myself anyways.

[QUOTE=Nexosz;35689760]yeah man because games in alpha are p much like finished product[/QUOTE] I never said that. But a new, better engine is almost always superior to a worse, updated one.

Earlier we were playing as Britain vs. Prussia on that big fortified city level (can't remember the name). Our gates were breached pretty much instantly and so we were forced to fall back to the flag. We erected fortifications while half of us pulled back to defend the square while the other half harassed the enemy in the town (see also: don't know how to fucking read the chat or work as a team) and we ultimately began our heroic last stand to defend the good ol' union jack. Cue chat being filled with RULE BRITTANIA, GOD SAVE THE KING, GOD SHITS ON KOENIG, IT WAS AN HONOR GENTLEMEN, LET'S GO OUT WITH STYLE etc. We knew we weren't going to survive or walk away, but by blighty we grit our teeth and stuck with it to the very end. [img]http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-britain.gif[/img] I remember wasting my shot then bayoneting two guys before the germanic bastards overwhelmed our position with sheer numbers. The game even played us out with sad music. It was awesome.

If you guys are interesting in joining an active and newly formed regiment [b](The 71st Highland Regiment of Foot 'MacMillan's Highlanders')[/b] with experienced officers and staff members, based in EU/NA, check out this thread: [url]http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,222868.0.html[/url]. It's a line regiment, featuring highlanders. We have two companies at the moment, with a third one being opened up shortly, specifically for Europeans- said company being under my own leadership when it is 'released'. Currently, there are many events that we partake in weekly, and I believe that you can't truly experience the mod without being in a regiment.

I've been looking for a scottish regiment. i'll try to join.

Jeez the female faces seem awful in this game. I don't want them to look like actors, but I'd rather they not look like they fell into the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Any guide or mod to making an acceptable looking face?
