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

[QUOTE=Mind Man;29572093]I remember in the original M&B it was nearly impossible to keep up morale if your army gets large enough. Is that the case here?[/QUOTE] I keep a small professional army and have enough money to get some good food, and I don't really have any morale problems.

[QUOTE=Mercenary-;29572190]Trowing Axes in MP are so freakin' awesome.[/QUOTE] Theyre the most badass weapon in the game

So when exactly is Fire and Sword gonna be released on steam, and why can't we preload?

[QUOTE=Mercenary-;29572190]Trowing Axes in MP are so freakin' awesome.[/QUOTE] Far too many times have I had my shield up on MP, playing via first person. Hearing a loud *thud* and seeing a huge thrown axe right in front of my face, stuck to my shield. :ohdear: [editline]2nd May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Fergeh;29572341]So when exactly is Fire and Sword gonna be released on steam, and why can't we preload?[/QUOTE] It will be released in a day between 6-7 PM GMT. And, the previous games are very small and do not require a pre-load. Unless you are on dial-up or something.

I fear crossbows more than throwing axes. It just doesn't matter what you're wearing. You're screwed.

[QUOTE=sami-elite;29572691]I fear crossbows more than throwing axes. It just doesn't matter what you're wearing. You're screwed.[/QUOTE] Fear the army of crossbow dragoons. For some reason in Blood and Steel my Jezail is more accurate when I am on horseback rather than foot (When moving)

Didn't have a helmet either, just a haubergeron. I survived the rest of the round, killing 3 with my beautiful unicorn horn on my forehead. I could see the handle in first person.

I hate how we cant kill enemy lords/kings.

[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;29573633]I hate how we cant kill enemy lords/kings.[/QUOTE] Yeah, there would be nothing better after a big fight when you catch like 5-6 lords to just execute them.

I hate crossbows. They've got bolts that magically bend around the target. At least in my case they do

[QUOTE=ionuttzu;29573802]Yeah, there would be nothing better after a big fight when you catch like 5-6 lords to just execute them.[/QUOTE] Lords have been well known to survive multiple shots in the head from crossbow bolts and then escape the battle unharmed.

[QUOTE=sami-elite;29572691]I fear [b]two handed weapons[/b] more than throwing axes. It just doesn't matter what you're wearing. You're screwed.[/QUOTE] Fixed. :eng101:

[QUOTE=aydin690;29574442]Fixed. :eng101:[/QUOTE] But you can block those. Hell, you can block a flamberg with a rock.

I feel I should get Fire and Sword now on steam but I want to wait until I see a review to see if its any good

[QUOTE=sami-elite;29574485]But you can block those. Hell, you can block a flamberg with a rock.[/QUOTE] No point in blocking them when they can destroy your shield in 2 hits and one shot you. Not to mention, their swing rate is somehow faster than one handed weapons.

There should be a duel map where there are long, narrow planks of wood over a bottomless pit. That way, you have straight up duels without your opponet zig-zagging the fuck out of you while spamming the great sword attack.

Are there any good graphics enhancement mods for warband? I've been looking for one for ages

[QUOTE=BaCkStAbEr;29578654]Are there any good graphics enhancement mods for warband? I've been looking for one for ages[/QUOTE] Polished landscapes Age of change adds models and improves the quality of existing models

[QUOTE=BaCkStAbEr;29578654]Are there any good graphics enhancement mods for warband? I've been looking for one for ages[/QUOTE] I think Floris Mod includes some enhancements (along with tons of other stuff) Also, reposting from previous page: [QUOTE=Oneperson;29569846]Anyone know why my "log" goes blank? Like, the thing in the bottom left of your screen which shows if a castle came under siege, or sir dickface did this or that. It's also invisible during combat, so no reports of who's getting killed by who. Anyone else ever had this? Should I re-install the mod I'm using, or is it unrelated to that?[/QUOTE]

Prophecy of Pendor helps graphics.

floris is nice but it makes an annoying whoosh noise on the map screen

I tried out Blood and Steel and I couldnt get into it.

With fire and sword is basically for people who 1) really, really love mount and blade and/or talesworld 2) want to get into mount and blade series but dont have original MnB/Warband 3) tf2 hats 4) just because because for me, Warband player, wFaS is nothing more than a reskin without any huge upgrades but sadly, Warband is going to turn into abandonware, no more updates, no more patches. I hope that mod-devs refuse to go with the flow and stay with warband to perfect their modifications! I really don't like this new MnB game - more weapons, more armors, more models, more characters, more maps - something a decent modder can do/already did. Maybe something, I don't know, optimization, huge graphical upgrades, stuff, you know, it's 2011 already? Hello?

Yeah, it looks like a mod, but I bought it anyway because I think it'll be fun and something refreshing and have less bugs/problems then a mod like it probably would. I don't need "huge graphical updates" I'd rather have a game that works perfectly, like it does.

Hopefully they at least balance 2h weapons

I wish they added some kind of co-op campaign mode for With Fire and Sword. Since that's pretty much the one thing that mods aren't able to fully implement, it could have been a pretty big selling point. I bought it anyway, because the singleplayer additions sound cool, and I'd like to play multiplayer on a full server that doesn't use cRPG.

Fuck yes, just got this game. I don't use my computer much for gaming, all I have is orange box and g-mod, and morrowind but not on steam. Anyway, because of this, when I asked my mom to use her account to buy it and I would pay her, she was said "No, you'll get a virus or something". I was pissed. The worst part is, is that she has bought games off steam for me before! Anyway, managed to persuade her I won't get a virus, so I'm happy. Won't play it tonight though, going to bed.

so yeah its 12AM and I don't got my fire and sword ): guess i'll have to wait another 3 hours for PST time >_< edit: nevermind it unlocks in 13 hours which is 1pm tomorrow >_<x2
