Musicians, finally.

I became vassal of the king again and didn't get any land. Then I had to follow some dipshit count around and I complained to him that we needed to go relieve the nearby city under siege. Later I quit that kingdom, half of it's towns had been conquered and then I simply shot the defenders of Balandi Castle and made my own nation because fuck the king.

I tried playing with Blood and Steel, while it's good in some cases, it's unrealistic as hell and the Vaigers are extremely OP.

How do I ransom kings?

[QUOTE=Mercykiller;27381423]How do I ransom kings?[/QUOTE] After some time you should be contacted about releasing him for a sum of gold. I think you can keep them and the price of gold goes up, however they can escape.

So I'd been playing Mount and Blade for a while, not warband. Finally got around to playing warband but I just carried my MB character to it. Was pretty impressed on how much it changed, and was exploring. Raised an army and almost went bankrupt since I didn't notice it unfortunately costs money to upgrade units in warband. But then my first desert fight happened, my 25 swadian knights charging desert bandits. The whole thing was fucking epic.

I see nothing wrong there.

In the game I chase down deserters. I hate deserters and only take prisoner the ones from my faction(I only stick to one or two normally). Then I imprison them forever. Edit: A few good mods you should find on the forums on Taleworlds is the battlesizer so you can have bigger sized battles instead of always going to the menu and charge into battle again. And another one where they add some extra siege ladders because one ladder for an army of 200+ is terrible.

[QUOTE=Fables;27376958]I tried playing with Blood and Steel, while it's good in some cases, it's unrealistic as hell and the Vaigers are extremely OP.[/QUOTE] You can either follow my advice or the guy i consider the "King" of b&s My advice: Forget crossbows and archers. Buy 60 watchmen or caravan gaurds and grind them to 20 cannoneers and 40 musketmen. Should cost about 5000 denars per week. (My average party wage was 10,000 per week) After you've done that, buy at least 50 or so units that will tank out the damage. (Ideally Swadian royal swordsmen-they are very hard to kill but can only kill high tier with peirce, which isn't really a problem) On the battlefield, Line up your Infrantry at the middle of a hill (upgrade tactics to make this common) and put your musketmen at the top. Order your cannoneers to hold fire and wait. When the cav scouts are dead and the main surge of 2handers, 1handers and pikes comes in, fire your cannons. You will find that the cannons can easily annihilate 50 men in one barrage. (The downside is that you will only be allowed 3 barrages and sometimes the ai misses a lot) If you can't fire your cannons then order your swordsmen to form a closer rank. (F2,F4,F2,F4) This will make them form 2 ranks, so only the pikemen can cause damage as the two handers can't swing their swords freely. The one handers are a peice of cake as they can't so much as damage your plate armoured warriors. Voila. You've just beaten the Vaegirs. Or, watch these [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yViUHdcoM4c[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrRF91X0XtA[/media] In the first video, he has a lot of high tier gunmen. You can find the one he used in the sarranid lands. (Well worth the trip) In the second, he attacks them head on with Rhulg's. [i]Never[/i] do it with anything other than Rhulg's or you will be cut through very quickly.

I hire musketeers to stand on top of a hell to give me covering support whilst I ride about sniping the enemy with my Jezzail.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;27390855]I hire musketeers to stand on top of a hell to give me covering support whilst I ride about sniping the enemy with my Jezzail.[/QUOTE] I recommend taking a mace or hammer with shield and a jezzail kit, as the the blunt weapons can be lifesavers in the mod, killing high tier vaegirs in 2-3 chest hits.

jezzail was cool until i somehow got so good the crosshair broke

Perhaps you guys can help me. I've just installed the Shogun mod, but everytime I try to play it, It freezes and I can't even alt tab to get out. I got about just past the introductory level where the thieves try to kill you, and went to the armor shop, it froze. Had to restart comp, tried playing battle mode, got into the setup screen and as soon as I tried to change character or army I'm fighting it froze.

Alright, I'm having a little trouble with this Floris mod pack thing. He's the situation: So I DL this super cool mod pack and begin following the steps to installation. I overwrote the Native module and added the shit to itemkinds1. I then went to the module.ini folder and added the directed things in the directed place. Next, I have to delete these certain banner resources-no sweat. right? Well, turns out, the module and mod banner resources are NOT there, so I can only get the regular load mod resources. So I figure- oh well, atleast I'll have the rest of the mods. So I start up warband and it loads up, as soon as the loading bar reaches it's peek and goes into the loading screen a message saying something along the lines of: "Error: Too many variations of mesh copy." So I'm asking you, FP, of what I should do next. I have grown bored of the actually game and this game will lighten that boredom. Any help would be appreciated.

I was playing on the official M & M server and was almost banned. Someone asked if there would eventually be a US faction. He was met with the usual America bashing, and it went on for 10 minutes. I said "You're all just mad because America styles all over your countries" and an admin started warning for "pro america" talk. :frog:

Raid villages. Alot of stuff for only beating up a few dozens of peasants. Edit: Yeah america is really great, I like how you murder civilians and kidnap terrorist suspects from wherever you want.

What the fuck are you doing? All you have to do is download either the basic mod pack or the expanded mod pack from this thread: [URL]http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,148140.0.html[/URL] Next, you unpack it into the folder installationfolder/modules/floris mod pack, so that all files are inside the floris mod pack folder not modules/floris mod pack/floris mod pack/. And that's ALL you have to do! Then you start the game, and set the module to floris mod pack instead of native, and bang you get yourself the mod. You don't have to change any files or anything... Or taken from the readme: 1. Extract the downloaded .7z-file into your Modules directory. Even Winrar should be able to unpack it, just like a normal rar-file. 2. You're ready to go!

Anyone remember what was the name of that mod for the first M&B which got orcs and elves and undeads?

[QUOTE=kayOkay;27406245]Anyone remember what was the name of that mod for the first M&B which got orcs and elves and undeads?[/QUOTE] Looking at the mod list all I can see that would be related is Chronicles of Talera?

Yep that! Thankies. :buddy:

Ive pretty much taken over this thread :buddy: anyway, heres my list of recommended mods 1257 AD Great combat, unique and awesome armours, lots of factions, a good map and fun to be had. -Slow paced, no Multiplayer Mount and musket battalion Biggest online mod community for m&b warband, that has self sustained itself at record times. Gameplay is fun, easy to get into and events are reguarly on and the community is nice and polite. Admins are always on and flaming/tking/rule breaking is rare and when it is encountered they [i]are[/i] banned. No singleplayer yet, (although there is custom battles up now) and it got into the Mod db 100 greatest mods of the year awards. Definitely worth the download. Blood and steel (SP) (Find my posts over the previous 2 pages, ive posted a description of this at least 10 times.) Battletime This mod is very new and has been begged by the community since v1 of mount and blade. It allows for people to join battles in Singleplayer campaigns. I haven't tried myself, but i assume it is best with friends/lan parties or pubs. Prophesy of pendor A very widespread mod with lots of unique quests and gameplay to be had. Word of warning though, it is outrageously difficult. As in, 400 days to get progress and by then its possible to screw up a lot. No multiplayer, and the textures and such aren't overly fantastic. However, keep an eye on it. Invasion A good coop survival mod with 5 factions of different types. Great fun, online admins are a rarity but that shouldn't be much of a problem. Im not sure if all the servers are down, haven't checked in a while. Thats what i play right now. I'd also be happy to set up an event with Facepunch with the new battletime mod, maybe a race to the first to capture a city or something. If you support this idea, please reply to this comment.

That's for warband, I guess? Any recommendation for the first one? :3:
