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

Best cavalry overall though is Khergit Khanate

Well that's just because every single one of their units is cavalry except the recruits, so you can just spam them They aren't particularly effective though, horse archers are impossible to kill but don't do much damage (they never hit), Lancers are decent for killing stragglers but they can't smash infantry like mamlukes or knights. It's easy enough to defeat AI with massed cavalry in vanilla.

Damn, became a part of a small Nord army, got promoted to Huscarl (armor and weapons included), and then my commander decided it was a good idea to fight a larger, swadian army. Swadian knights. Man, those guys just raped us. [editline]18th July 2011[/editline] Btw, can you downgrade your steam version of warband, or do you have to wait until the mod-maker updates his mod?

I know this has been asked too many times, but what mods could you guys recommend? Except Blood and Steel, tried it and I didn't like it.

Native Expansion is decent, you could also try doing your own mod compilation.

Okay, downloading Native Expansion now, any thoughts on the Prophesy of Pendor?

I find PoP to be dull generic fantasy with shit models, textures, lore, music, balance and features and generally being a giant shitfest But that's just me

It was kinda cool to look at but when I tried it PoP was no fun at all. SnD Polished is really fun so far though, although that's just because it's Diplomacy+PBOD+Freelancer, almost everything else in the pack I couldn't give a shit about. I'll probably get to making my own compilation based on Diplomacy and not taking any silly graphics mods or animation replacements

[QUOTE=RichyZ;31183890]the blocking in m&b is alright, but the swinging is just a bland attack animation that swings at the air and if it hits an enemy, it goes through without any slowdown, which feels so unnatural and silly[/QUOTE] Yeah, I more meant the blocking in that you need to control what direction you're going to block in. Also, I want to play Dark Mesisah again now. Damnit. EDIT: Also, anybody know what mod adds in multiple ladders in sieges? That'd be nice in my native game.

I love getting my 50 Huscarls into a fight against melee units, I just tell them to stand on a line and when the enemies are close enough spears and axes will hail and a massive charge will be initiated.

I just decided to start a new character after my old save had more than half of the entire map owned with an army of atleast 100 stationed in every major city/castle and I just realized how unfair it can be for a person with an army of 50-60 recruits to take on a band of 27 bandits. I swear, I got into battle and killed like 5 before I get hit once with a sword and get wounded. I mean, I know I'm not supposed to fight bandits but a army of 60 recruits plus the fact that I couldn't run away because I was slower than them? How is that fair?

And it's damn fun. It looks like the maker's having some trouble though, sometimes you don't get the armor you're supposed to get.

Why can't you have more than 100 reputation points with a faction? Whenever I do something good it says "increased from 100 to 10x" but its still at 100

What is a good way to gain honor? I need to get some more (aswell as right to rule, but my companions takes care of that) so everyone won't declare war on me.

[QUOTE=SappinMyNick;31194982]What is a good way to gain honor? I need to get some more (aswell as right to rule, but my companions takes care of that) so everyone won't declare war on me.[/QUOTE] Help villages without reward or something, capture lords then let them go, etc.

[QUOTE=SappinMyNick;31194982]What is a good way to gain honor?

Murdering for money is apparently less honorable than just murdering.

Swadian Count: "King Harlaus, we have Kherghit raiding parties attacking our outlying castles and villages,and the Vaegir opportunists are attacking and capturing our undefended forts, what do we do" King Harlaus: "[I]Begin the feast![/I]"

Working for the Nords, which have been nearly decimated, their only remaining settlements are Tihr, Haen and Hrus Castle. And we have about 4 lords. Everyone in the other factions are being indicted for treason and joining the Swadians, which are now massive, with settlements in every other territory than their default lands. I don't like the looks of this.

[QUOTE=ForgotPassword;31200279]Morning star anyone? Satisfying as hell weapon when leading a siege.[/QUOTE] What an beautiful name for a device that's used to bash peoples faces in

How come the Iron Staff is so rare?

[QUOTE=ForgotPassword;31200279]Morning star anyone? Satisfying as hell weapon when leading a siege.[/QUOTE] Hell yes. Morning star + elite scimitar + heavy kite shield + lance = master race.

Are there any good musket mods for Warband besides Mount and Musket, and French Indian War 1756 mod? (I can't use the latter because it takes up too much RAM, and I get run time errors.)
