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

I'll download it and put it on my dropbox [editline]21st January 2013[/editline] here is another link [url]http://www.speedyshare.com/RKR5g/HornburgII.rar[/url] [editline]21st January 2013[/editline] there is a match going on currently if anyone is interested

I was playing in it. It's fine so far. Just kinda rushy since it lacks things like barricades.

its fun I just think baricades would be nice and maybe bigger maps like Osgiliath [editline]21st January 2013[/editline] also the class system NW has, because some Gondor fiefdom ranks would be great.

I started up a new game of with fire and sword and I'm trying to start one of the main quests. All the factions are at war with each other but no one has any armies so theres no way for me to get involved. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Ah, the recurring issue of sporting an all-infantry army. [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/TlPmlS.jpg[/img]

What's with the filter? [editline]21st January 2013[/editline] Also what infantry type?

having 5 senior knights in your party, while expensive, I think is worth it. I have yet to have a senior knight die, and they get maybe 50-60% of the kills I don't get myself.

There's always that awful drudge when going all infantry where you need to charge a wall of archers or chase down the last few people who spend 5 minutes fleeing the map. My senior knights always end up getting wasted by welsh archers, a lance to the back, or sergeant gisarmes simply cutting them in half (figuratively), so I tend to avoid sending them out into battle because cavalry in M&B are incredibly cavalier, reckless and dumb [editline]21st January 2013[/editline] mod is 1257 ad

OK, I'm sick of being bad at MP in this game. I know that it has a steep learning curve but I've been playing for 6 months and I still feel like a toddler sometimes.

and the filter is a [URL="http://i.cubeupload.com/PnFYnJ.gif"]sweetfx config I made[/URL] (specifically for 1257/polished landscapes, though) Ow, my automerge

I aim to eventually get them some heavy gear so they can act as knights without the massive wage or the risk of death.

Another good method is to give all your guys coats of plates and arm them with like a glaive and 3 bags of throwing spears. I had like 8 companions decked out in that and they'd be able to totally wreck the enemy cavalry charge, and the constant barrage of throwing spears would almost always kill a good portion of the infantry so they'd always rack up lots of XP

Did they remove the looting feature? I don't seem to be able to keep weapons I pick up off the ground.

[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;39308964]Did they remove the looting feature? I don't seem to be able to keep weapons I pick up off the ground.[/QUOTE]Perhaps maybe they're being given to companions? 0.97 beta or what subversion if SVN?

I made a mistake and it was during like events. Like clearing a town of bandits.

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;39295115]Cavalry is a waste of time in 1257 unless you're cheating for money, it's good that they balanced it out. Having about 10 knights or something is really good for breaking enemy infantry formations, but considering they have a wage of like 300 denars a week it just makes more sense to have 6 sergeant guisarmers or burgher men at arms for every knight. Massed heavy infantry will always win out against cavalry in 1257.[/QUOTE] Well I'm not cheating or anything. When I really need the coins I go on the deliver ale/wine whatever or escort missions. My cav has just never lost a fight for me yet.

Every such treasure has a key in it to finding the only great and true treasure in the Caribbean sea. [B]Underground fights[/B] — we considered comments regarding lack of tournaments in WFaS and decided to add this gameplay element in Caribbean! in a bit different form. Underground fights is a series of random events in the cities’ taverns. You’ll fight on a special arena using any weaponry including firearms.

In this phase ships fire at each other at almost point-blank distance, crew can be killed in the process and the player may help his team by shooting at enemy from his ship’s cannon.

We also hope to add a special type of cannons that would take the role of taking these snipers down in return. [B]We’re redoing character models[/B] — what can we do?

OH MAN. FACES THAT DON'T LOOK LIKE ASS.
