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

[QUOTE=gnisasas;31555004]The best feeling in the world is beating someone to death with your musket as a melee weapon, even better if instead of a musket you beat them with a pistol[/QUOTE] Beating someone to death with a cannon ramrod is more like it.

I'm guessing you guys call Mount & Blade with Fire and Sword mount and musket?

[QUOTE=Hoboharry;31557705]I'm guessing you guys call Mount & Blade with Fire and Sword mount and musket?[/QUOTE] Uh, no. There's a mod for Warband called Mount and Musket

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;31552955]you're supposed to start in melee. If you're a man and not some mincing fairy boy, that is.[/QUOTE] I challenge you to a duel! Bolters from 20 yards or lightning claws at dawn?

[QUOTE=sami-elite;31555592]I try to play like that in mount & musket. Those 12 year olds think because it has guns they must shoot all the time. So i play their game and let them get closer or go myself. Once close enough they usually panic as they hardly know how to block :v:. On avarage blocking skill is pretty poor on m&m so when i downloaded it today and played a match i ended up 3rd of my team with 7 kills and 3 deaths. But i remember having matches where i killed almost half their team :v:. In a way i prefer m&m over wf&s because you're pretty much just dead or you're alive. Strategy is more important than your plate armor.[/QUOTE] Way to M&M sucess - Play native duel servers/small cRPG games - Play M&M - Play as cavalryman/officer - Close to melee distance - Unstoppable

I never really played the multiplayer but now that I see all these awesome stories of people protecting their honor and dueling and shit I just have to play! We should have a server with just duels.

[QUOTE=cdr248;31559119]I never really played the multiplayer but now that I see all these awesome stories of people protecting their honor and dueling and shit I just have to play! We should have a server with just duels.[/QUOTE] They exist. Duel servers. Best way to improve IMO.

[QUOTE=hurts;31559060]Way to M&M sucess - Play native duel servers/small cRPG games - Play M&M - Play as cavalryman/officer - Close to melee distance - Unstoppable[/QUOTE] I always go officer because, while I can hold my own with a sword, I'm horrible when it comes to musket melee. And unblockable lances are a plus.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;31551879]I was just on a WFAS deathmatch server. Some guy shot me with a musket and then finished me off with a pistol. I'm no stranger to that but I was a little grumpy due to not performing as well as I normally do in WFAS. (There were actual decent melee fighters on this server) So I said, "How lame do you have to be to have two firearms?" To which he responds, "I'd fuck you over in melee." "Do it then. Coward." "Okay. Next kill." So he kills the guy he's fighting and then we fight, and I beat him handily. "Yeah, you fucked me over real hard." Feels manly, man.[/QUOTE] First couple rounds in a battle server I always buy the factions best musket, their best ammo, and fill the other two slots with rusty muskets. That way when some silly pikeman comes charging at me I at least have two backup shots in hopes he is bad at swerving. And if that fails I hit g as fast as I can and retreat to the rest of my team.

In warband, what are some good solid infantry that I could train up in a short amount of time that'd be reliable for siege battles? Reliable as in, not the best fighters, but wont get shot in the face a few minutes in and need to be replaced... [editline]6th August 2011[/editline] I dont know what it is about these games, but I cannot gain [I]any[/I] satisfaction out of them unless my character has a massive beard (warband) or an incredibly conspicuous moustache (fire and sword) Does anybody else have this problem

Is the 1257 AD mod for warband good? And how big is the download size? cause it's downloaded over 1 gb on svn and its still downloading.

[QUOTE=Araknid;31564753]Is the 1257 AD mod for warband good? And how big is the download size? cause it's downloaded over 1 gb on svn and its still downloading.[/QUOTE] I haven't played the latest version, but it is definitely worth a try. The last time I played it I was a Sicilian lord, who went and fought for the English in the HYW and I did a bit of fighting in the crusades. Its neat that they give you chainmail armour with your faction embroidered on its tabard at the start as well. The Tournaments are a lot of fun as you get to use your inventory from outside the town, and theres a recruit hierachy, so if you recruit men from castles they will be squires, from towns you will get wealthier town militia and from villages you get peasants. Town militia become swordsmen and peasants can be either crossbowmen, archers or spearmen. Thats only for the European factions though.

[QUOTE=johnlukeg;31563255]Blood temperature... rising uncontrollably...[/QUOTE] it makes me glad to know you are one of the pikemen who never seem to get close enough to me :)

For those with their own kingdoms, you only have to raise your right to rule to like, 50, right? (to be thought of as a true king and not a rebel.) Well, how do you get it that high? I've sent all my people on missions to raise it, but it isn't quite at 50 yet.

Pikes are so easy to block.

I love killing swordsmen with pikes. :v:

[QUOTE=MrJazzy;31573742]Pikes are so easy to block.[/QUOTE] Theres a certain unrealized art in using Spears and Pikes. Its hard to explain, but with a spear and shield you can beat anyone just by allowing your spear enough space to gain momentum by pulling it back 180 degrees and positioning your view 45 degrees from the ground, then swinging it round and wounding your target. It takes practice but it works remarkably well against unaware opponents, who normally assume you're just fodder.

[QUOTE=Eeshton;31555475]>all of caldaria except nords >plans to capture nord territory [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIgfiSzCy1o[/media][/QUOTE] I must add that most of my army consists of Nords, but since that post I have split them up into my castle garrisons, and replaced them with Sarrinids and Swadians. The Vageirs hate me, since I pillaged most of the villages to take them down, so they were the next best choices. Poor Vageir bastards. I'm currently rounding up all of my vassals for a full-scale charge on Nord territory, and if I'm lucky, I might pierce as far as Sargoth before it falls into shambles and we have to move into a defensive state.

I really like M&B's combat system. Its simple, challenging, intense and satisfying.

[QUOTE=proch;31580756]I really like M&B's combat system. Its simple, challenging, intense and satisfying.[/QUOTE] I just don't like one thing about blocking though. For example if you use a shield, and someone strikes at the moment you release block it goes through the shield. It should hit the shield as long as it's going to or coming from your side. You shouldn't be able to use your sword during that period either.

[editline]7th August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=hurts;31574498]Not if the person knows how to use them[/QUOTE] Ofcourse if someone sucks with one weapon he's going to get killed by the other one, pikes are easier to block because it has only two attack directions.

Not really. Shield would be harder to use. Now you can just attack right after you block. Besides, shields smash easily anyway, so it will never be too good.

Spam fest against the shield then.
