[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;29699852]Holy shit. I had like 57 people, but they were good, a few heroes, mamalukes and such, the results:(Me) 2 killed, 13 wounded. (Them) 157 killed.[/QUOTE]
I had that in wf&s yesterday defending against the Crimean something. Killed 300+ish lost 10 and 10 wounded.
In fire and sword, I had a band of merc recruits armed with regular pistols. It was a constant barrage of fire from them. Unfortunately, I was not paying attention while traveling and got raped by a group of cavalry.
[QUOTE=KamenMoore;29699787]Okay, I'm mad. I admit, I'm pretty mad.
Go into a fight, and die from one gunshot before I can even get close enough to distinguish if the person was a he or she.

recruit swedish merc infantry, they are spearmen who stand behind or in front of your rifles
I have shitty looted armour aswell and I was running in to 3 musketeers, 2 of them shot me within a second and bam, dead.
circle round the back keeping plenty of distance, that way when you pop into sight behind them you won't be targeted, alternatively get a high resistance shield, can drop the damage to like 15 where it would be a body shot
In warband, when should I create my own faction? Like, what renown should I have, right to rule, company size?
[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;29702977]In warband, when should I create my own faction? Like, what renown should I have, right to rule, company size?[/QUOTE]
when you are willing and able to take on the other factions

Renown of 1000, (attack lords in Rhodoks, they have the weakest troops, back in the original I had no trouble killing 700 Rhodoks with 71 mid-high tier men)
Make friends with a couple of lords and maintain an army of about 100 men. Make sure you have at least 5 companions that you are willing to chuck away as lords, then capture a castle when the Rhodoks are on Campaign.
You should have a wealth of about 20,000 denars by this point. (loot villages and pillage caravans)

I bought a Dyeworks in every single city, sent every single hero off to gather support and obtained around 100 men to support me along with all my heroes.
Those were the things I did beforehand before I took over my first city.
Also I never pillaged villages (In order to gain support of the peasantry) and only pillaged the caravans of the nation I was at war with.

Don't you lose funds from cities you're at war with?
Damn I need more Right to Rule.
I have only 14... :smith:
How do I recruit people in wf&s, can I only recruit mercenaries?
[QUOTE=adadadsd;29704273]How do I recruit people in wf&s, can I only recruit mercenaries?[/QUOTE]
You can only recruit militias from the faction you are part of, militias cost like 1/6th of the upkeep of a merc army so it's worth joining a faction as quickly as you can

Hence why I said every city. Unless every city on the map is at war with me I will be getting some emone off a dyeworks.
And to get married, do I have to get her father/brother or whatever to like me?
[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;29704671]And to get married, do I have to get her father/brother or whatever to like me?[/QUOTE]
you need the father's favour, or you can run away with her and basically the dad will hunt you down
Grenades are fun
What are stronger, recruits from villages or mercs?
[QUOTE=Jmir 54;29705073]Grenades are fun[/QUOTE]
Not if the enemy has them, though.
[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;29705743]What are stronger, recruits from villages or mercs?[/QUOTE]
Mercs
But Recruits are Cheaper and you can buy dozens of them...
[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;29705743]What are stronger, recruits from villages or mercs?[/QUOTE]
Mercs are better if you need a lot of good fighters for something on short notice, but I find they die much faster than recruits, regardless of a high surgery skill.
Fucking Turks really. All of their lords came for my little rebel nation (part of story line).
I had a party of 160 with me and the fort had around 250 troops. None of which were really useful for sieging/defending.
So 350ish against their 1200.
We repel their attack with 20 casualties of wich about 10 died.
They they wait a week, almost starving me!
In the end they tried to starve me twice but i made them lose atleast 800 troops before they left.
I decided to fuck it and make my own kingdom. What should I name it?
You got to love the English in this game sometimes.

[i]what[/i][/QUOTE]
Haha yeah. What he meant is: Go steamroll some patrols and foragers.
Ugh, I have like a 110 man army, but I still feel like I lost even if ONE dies.... :sigh: even if we like kill 200 of theirs. I like how this game makes me care more about what happens to people in it than some games with voice acting and all of that.
I like having a strong small army rather than strength in numbers. And how strong should my garrisons be?
with fire and sword is swag as fuck but i don't know if it's worth the money
like i'm having plenty of fun being below level 7 right now
