[QUOTE=kamikaze470;30028078]Did Fire and Sword update just now for anyone else?[/QUOTE] yeah, no news yet though

blood and steel makes this game 10 times better

I wish polearm combat was better, currently it's just a wider area + more damage but much less speed sword Fucking pike walls etc

in blood and steel, the grenades are overpowered as FUCK. if i'm attacking a castle, i can throw one and kill like 50 guys at once because they're so close together i've made myself not use them just because its retardedly OP

What do you think a grenade does. It is meant to kill groups of enemies. If your gonna be such a fucking pussy about grenades then just use rocks.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;30023386]It happens to me when I'm in the middle of a swarm of troops and I get pushed into the scenery try jumping around a bit or something since you're stuck in some object.[/QUOTE] I'm not stuck in an object, the game is just frozen. It happens constantly to me, to the point where the game is nearly unplayable. It just alternates between two frames, back and forth. When I alt tab out after a few seconds I can hear enemies running around.

I think it might be a memory problem or a video RAM problem, but I have pretty high vram, so I don't think its that. It happens more on mods with high texture quality.

I should give blood and steel another shot but the fact you start out with all "power" skills maxed out kinda ruins it for me. It just feels weird starting out swining a sword at 50 mph

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;30035418]I wish polearm combat was better, currently it's just a wider area + more damage but much less speed sword Fucking pike walls etc[/QUOTE] I was going to make an archer character, but then I bought a polearm for fun (never really used them before) and holy shit. Pretty much everything I hit from a horse DIES instantly. I'm considering dropping archery and just go polearm and 1-handed weapons.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;30035418]I wish polearm combat was better, currently it's just a wider area + more damage but much less speed sword Fucking pike walls etc[/QUOTE] You can do pike walls. Pikemen + hold position + cavalry charge = horse shishkebabs everywhere. [editline]25th May 2011[/editline] Also Blood and Steel is fucking awesome, cannoneers getting 40+ kills with one salvo awwww yeaaaaa

f&s is pretty cool but getting shot once or twice and then having to rely on the shitty autoresolve sucks

Le fuck ,i had to start again because i got stuck with no money, no weapons, no fiefs and no troops. So, how do i make money really fast?

Trading, tournaments and enterprises

Thanks

I like how in Blood and Steel, you can watch the battle autoresolve without you, but the camera you get is ungodly.

I was considering getting blood and steel but the stuff like fireworks is dumb as fuck

I don't even mind the gunpowder weapons, but there's serious internal inconsistency And those fucking chainmail bikinis my god The battle maps were supposed to be bigger. They aren't. You have barely enough time to set up your troops at the nearest position that won't get you instantly killed and then the enemy cavalry is already upon you. And I thought they were supposed to use ~tactics~. Since now the tactics screen or w/e has been disabled it's pretty irritating commanding your troops around since I can't remember if function or number keys gave orders, to which group, etc. The tactics screen was much better at this, and if it's so cheaty that you can see the enemies, just disable the red dots or something I just want more convenient commanding I think I'll try how well Native Expansion has aged now that it's out for Warband

Is this a game I might like? I like first person games where I can battle how I want with who I want. I also like a good integration of a bow and arrow system. Oh and RPG elements, like leveling up, exp, etc, would be a major bonus for me wanting to play? Player customization (armor) and guns would be p. cool too

Arrows are pretty powerful though. It has RPG elements like leveling, and of course you can upgrade your gear. No guns, but those are in mods. Try the demo.

So guys, what good regular M&B mods are out there?

warband

Warband is a game/expansion-pack. I'm not buying it when I already have Regular. The Beta was cool though

Just downloaded the blood & steel mod, and there seem to be a few weird things 1.Why do I swing so fast it feels like I have a innate advantage over everybody else. 2.The entire map is taken over by the undead and bandits. Does any actual factional warfare take place? 3.Items and mercenaries seem a bit expensive.

I think blood and steel is one of those mods where the developer just makes shit to make the game enjoyable for himself

Blood and steel is just another one of those mods with overpowered shit in it.

[QUOTE=ElTacoLad;30039305]For me it only happens when I'm playing a mod. It doesn't happen when I play the vanilla game.[/QUOTE] Its an issue with enemy spawns. Solutions: 1)Turn down number of corpses 2)Turn down quality of grass 3)Turn down battlesize 4)Get new drivers Theres also a guide somewhere that tells you how to fix it permanently through the use of the registry.

(I may as well say shut up) The mod fixes all of the issues with Warband. It makes the world active- lords don't spend their lives eating cake It makes getting to a position of power possible. It requires tactics, not holding position and hoping for the best. It no longer takes hours of real life time to grind units Prisoners are valuable The economy is more realistic

it's also stupid as shit [img]http://www.wolfegames.com/TA_Section/blood_and_steel_screen03.jpg[/img] [img]http://games.lisisoft.com/img/4/2/4251-2-mount-blade-warband-mod-blood-and-steel.jpg[/img] [img]http://games.lisisoft.com/img/4/2/4251-3-mount-blade-warband-mod-blood-and-steel.jpg[/img] [img]http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQyeY_E5UHETVelrCP1-jj9stNZout73ZQOciLVtvsUv1ANkuYF&t=1[/img] yeah check out these tactics man, stupid attack speed and weapons ahoy [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdQi0BO6oh4[/media]
