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

[QUOTE=deathgod;29860402]Go to an enemy castle or town and it'll give you the option to besiege it.[/QUOTE] danke

My games always reach a point where I'm famous and loved/hated enough to attract the attention from other lords but not strong enough to beat them and i always get my backside handed to be on a platter should I try to defend myself. Also there is that pint where you move so slowly that you cannot catch up to bandits to beat the shit out of them for the EXP.

You uh, besiege it and uh, defeat the defenders.

Go by yourself, decked out in a good horse and armour and fuck them up with a sword and/or lance.

Just had 3 months of peace and now the sarranids and swadians have decided they don't like the nords anymore

What is a good mod that makes the training camps less boring? I want to train every troop in my warband but after awhile it just gets boring.

In warband which polerams can be couched? I bought some of the lower level ones just to give it a try but pressing X at speed on a really fast horse does nothing.

Lances

Damn that swadian Merchant! He said that this "battle fork" would do the job!

Spears and lances are different things

Spears are better than lances anyway Sure, with a couched lance I can absolutely murder someone when I deal over 230 damage, but that doesn't account for shit when I can kill only one dude per pass, as opposed to a fast spear which I can use to stab four to five guys in one pass.

The thing is that polerams are laughably easy to block. So i use a mix of couching and normal attacks, quick pass with the couch and a throust on the way out, can kill two or three per pass if i'm lucky.

I've never enjoyed lances nor spears, I prefer to use a sword or an axe on horseback, feels much much better chopping heads off from above!

[QUOTE=gnisasas;29863551]I've never enjoyed lances nor spears, I prefer to use a sword or an axe on horseback, feels much much better chopping heads off from above![/QUOTE] I agree, at least against low-level infantry and archers. Heavier dudes like Huscarls might require piercing damage.

I think its kind of bad that the save doesn't save on cloud, makes it annoying as hell to play on one game when I move between my parents, the good thing is I can play fire and sword at one place and regular warband at another place

I'm confused. I'm with the Nords, and we're at war with the Rhodoks. We've been winning the war for ages, like, they have 1 town left, and a bunch of our lords just defected to them. Why would they do this?

God damn do I love Huscarls, I just seiged a castle with more than 180+ troops in it using 40 Huscarls, and only lost about 12.

surprised you even lost any

I once took a castle that had 200 guys in it with 30 huscarls.

Does the Surgery skill stack with multiple companions, like training does?

Ragnar, and Faarn are bros. Keep Gearth, come at me bro.

[QUOTE=DuncanFrost;29865859]Does the Surgery skill stack with multiple companions, like training does?[/QUOTE] I sure hope so, I have 5 companions with 6 surgery.

I am trying to get a trade patent, but when the mayor says it will cost 4500 thaler, I say "That's too expensive!" even though I have like 7.000 thaler. What the hell?

in F&S making money is easier it's just everything is more expensive.

Oh Jesus, in my game the Nords and Khergits went to war with the Sarranids, I went to Halmar to sell some shit and suddenly it gets thrown into a siege battle with about 170 defenders vs 1000 attackers. I lost my entire party and the dickheads took my honey and butter. Edit: And my cabbage FUCK

honey is no laughing matter it stops deserters right in they're tracks, they're dreaming of their wife and home but nope they are enslaved by the honey
