Screenshot Thread: Post all your Screenies Here!

Thought I'd share a couple of screenshots of my playthrough in the newest version.

Yay, finally some screenshots! Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Guillame! Please, feel free to share more of your adventures with us!

Three things come to my mind, when watching these screenshots:
1. We need a mod feature where it's easier to take a screenshot (currently, it's Ctrl+Insert, try doing that when you are in the midst of a battle)
2. ThegnAnsgar, if you want a really awesome screenshot, always turn off the battle casualty reports, experience reports and all these other popups that are showing in the lower-left corner of your screen
3. You need new shoes, man

1. I just use Steam's f12, and because I have a Razer Naga, I just programmed one of the side buttons as f12. Makes taking a screenshot a little easier.
2. I'll keep that in mind for next time, although I play "Dead is dead", and delete the save when a character "dies" in battle, and Guillame might not make it for the next round...
3. But I like those Rus shoes that Narf made.

Razer-what?
How do you do that?
I want it too (although I have no Steam).

Very interesting and brave of you.
However, can't you give yourself at least a little ''help''?
For example, if you get defeated in a battle, why does your character need to die?
Can't he be injured?
You know what would be cool?
Play the battle, and if you get knocked out, you throw the dice.
1-3 = You die.
4-6 = You are wounded, and you can continue.

Also, do you always start with a level 1 character or do you have a preexisting high-level character, like most people (including myself) do?

Razer Naga. It's a gaming mouse designed for MMOs so that you can use the skills on the number keys easily, because it has number keys from 1-12 on the left side of the mouse. But I've found it's incredibly useful in other games that use the numbers to switch things (like in shooters), and in Mount and Blade I use it for the F keys (you can have multiple programmable variations which you can switch to on the mouse). I don't always use it for that though and just mainly use it for taking screenshots.

You would be able to program it to take ctrl+insert though.

Sometimes I do that. It generally depends on how I'm feeling and how it happens in the battle. If I get a spear impaled through my chest or an axe to the face, I generally consider that to be dead. If I lose all HP from some other kind of attack I'll just decide I'm injured. Never really decided it with a dice roll though. Might be a thing to try out instead (although I might weight it along with the type of attack just so that if I do take a huge axe swing to the head I don't get entirely too lucky with a dice roll).

Also, do you always start with a level 1 character or do you have a preexisting high-level character, like most people (including myself) do?

That depends on what character build I want to do for that particular time I want to play. I do have a high-level character, but I rarely play with him these days. Usually if I'm going to re-use a character, it's only one that's at around level 15 or so, just to give a little bit of a boost to start.

After the battle me and my best friend.

Chronicles of William (of Estonia)
[game is on normal difficulty.][
(I´m not a very big storyteller )
William was a smith in Lindanise, however he failed to finish an order of an Axe  from a russian warrior and his employer has thrown him out of the workshop and since he didnt have any source of income he has lost his hut in Lindanise now aswell.

Being a smithy, he has trained with the swords and axes he has made over the year, and is quite skilled with them. after he was kicked out of his home, he immediately went to speak with the Great Elder of Lindanise. However, infront of the Great Hall  , two guarding warriors told him that a commoner can not enter the Hall. William left Lindanise, and started to ride (with a Horse that he had managed to get from a Swedish merchant for the sword he made) and started looking for men who wanted to start their career as a warrior. in a few days he managed to get some good 30 men under his hand, who now started to kill bandits.

on the third day William heard some farmers in the vilage of Viljandi that there is a feast in Lindanise. William knew, that with feasts comes tournaments and pitfights, where the best warriors compete for honour and renown. William went to Lindanise with his men. William, knowing his skill with weaponry, made bets on himself. William won the tournament, getting a sum of 3500 ducats thanks to his bets.
william knew, that being the pitfight winner, he can join with the feast. Ofcourse that is what he did, the guards welcomed her. and William entered the Hall, he saw about 8 Elders, including Pokshyaka. William went to him.

What happened then?

It's actually possible to make the Steam overlay (a very nifty tool that allows you to browse the internet while playing games as well as enabling the F12 screenshot which can be assigned to any other key you'd like as well) recognize a non-Steam Warband.

Just open Steam, click Games at the top, Add a Non-Steam Game to my Library, and then browse to and select the mb_warband.exe and then it's added.

It's what I did for my 1.153 version of Warband amd it works great.

There sure are a lot of people playing with a variant of the name William. Heck, even my French character is named Count Guillaume Longardeaux and my Norwegian character is Jarl Vilhelm Vilhelmsen

William died in a battle against Russian Duchy of Polotsk


yea

How Subitai the Almohad deals with bandits ....

How the heck did that happen?

Oh the bandit had Ridden up to the top of the steps....When I shot him(with horse) down, that's how they ended up.

I said to myself...I gotta take a selfie.  Arghhh...I'm disgusted with myself for even typing that word.  But I guess it's appropriate.  haha

Here is an amateur trailer I made for my channel. Forgive the ending( I haven't figured out how to make music fade out using the Youtube editor).

I like the background music - By The Beautiful Blue Danube.
It is ironic (in a good way) to have that music playing while you watch people slaughtering each other.

Although, it would have looked more cinematic if you turned the annotations off.
It's weird to see things like this in a trailer:
Archer killed by Veteran Footman
Banneret killed by Player
You dealt 67 damage
You gained 24 experience

(I know, I know, every few weeks I mention how I don't like casualty reports - I'm sorry)

Yeah, it would be much better if those were not there.  I had to edit these out of bigger videos, so you'll have to excuse the kill feed. Hope you enjoyed it. Could be so much better, but hey, it's my first one. I might also post some screenshots as well (expect kill feed).

Nice video. But did you change the map texture back to the old style or are you playing an old version?

This video shows an older version, Beta 8. I may do one using the newer version later.

Nice continuing discussion going on there. Some more pictures of castles would spice it up though  (I write that as a sceening junky).
