I played it a little but it is laggy and needs some polishing, the last 2% should fix that.

I tried playing this for the past 3 days, basically the map isnt playable it has heaps of trees and hills all over the place. No one ever goes to any of the castles so all the pretty and fancy looking stuff in the castles is kind of useless.
70% of the server is always bandits and they all death match at the mines and center town. The mines is the most laggy area because of the thick forest and hills you travel through to get there.
So yeah even though this map is huge and pretty, no one ever goes to any other area except the center town (for weapons) and mines (to deathmatch).
There was a bandit in town killing everyone that tried to buy a weapon. Using his glaive, when he died, i camped the glaive buying area so he couldn't buy one, he had a cry and i got kicked off the server.

You can use the ground elevate options like hardness and weight, select smooth option and decrease the weight and hardness to 49, the terrain will not be that "sharp". You should decrease the tree ammount, and to fix the sharp ground textures (pebbles), paint the ugly part with another texture. You still have to learn...

Yes this map is way more laggy compared to the default map, i tested it again today.
I entered the server and selected a green shirt, it was a korean server i believe, no one spoke english. I was immediatly under attack by bandits and blue faction. Charging at me on their coursiers trying to kill me while i was riding unarmed on a sumpter horse. I managed to pick up a lance and kill one of the bandits. Then i was lanced by one of the blue guys.
After respawn. I noticed doma riding around as a civilian with white and blue guys escorting. I rode past and i was under attack again while unarmed and right in front of the server host doma. I was killed again.
So by now i realised that this was basically a everyman for himself server. I took note of the cowards that killed me, purchased a lance, found a corsier and went on the hunt. I found the doma convoy with blue and white guys. BLAM i instantly killed one of the blue guys and killed the 2nd blue guy's horse. I was about to finish him off until 2 white guys charged at me, so finially it was on and this time it was fair, i had a horse and i had equip...and i was winning even though outnumbered.
While i was involved in the skirmish with the 2 mounted white guys, the 2nd blue guy managed to find another horse, i killed his horse immediatly and then i was kicked from the server
So its basically a "let us slaughter you and if you start winning against us you get kicked" server
Even though i had near 300 ping, but ive started to get used to playing with high ping since there is no aussie servers i always play on asian servers and have to make moves by predicting what the opponent will do and where he will be in the next 1 or 2 seconds.
EDIT: Not kicked, im Banned from that server now.

If they are running in a straight line its easy, you need to thrust about 2-3 horse lengths in advance, the hardest thing to do with high ping is archery. The easiest thing is mellee battles on foot with 1h weapon and shield. No chance to manual block with that ping though.
Also another thing about mounted lance battles with high ping - If they ride around in the same predictable circle you just aim the lance about 2 horse lengths ahead of them. If they zig zag and move around randomly its basically impossible to hit them lol.
I love to see a lancer charging at me in a straight line, easy kill

Quick, one more post before we hi-jack his thread.
I find archery the easiest thing to do with high ping, in fact I usually stop playing melee if my ping hits 200 and pick up a bow. I don't want to brag, but I think I'm an excellent bow man, I spent a lot of time practicing horse archery in SP and such and can lead moving targets pretty easily even with a high lag. I actually have a harder time hitting stationary targets sometimes
Anyways, I guess our lag styles differ
and the lancer charging in a straight line is an easy kill until you find out he has a great lance Mishkin

heh, im the opposite i give up on the bow if ping is over 200. Im not a great archer but still can get some bow kills , usually on camped enemy archers that dont move too much.
Grr you are one of those pesky horse achers, i like to do something equally annoying if im on foot and a horse archer is doing the shoot and run away tactics.
If its only 1 horse archer i will find a tree and walk around it in circles so the archer cant shoot me, i keep doing until he is forced to dismount for a mellee battle or rides away in frustration.
If there is many horse archers basically the only way to fight them is find shelter where they can't ride and can't surround you. Khergit is the most annoying team to fight against on an open field without much shelter.
I am glad horse archers were removed from the mod

That looks quite spectacular!
I'm quite surprised it reportedly takes a bigger FPS hit than my map. It is frustrating having to work within those limitations; the game really wasn't designed for grand scale projects like these.

I'd just throw in a small suggestion that is to spend some time polishing up the finer details. When you're running around in the world you notice the little things like alignment of props and the blending of ground textures (or lack thereof).

its looking real good, but may i ask that u insert some hidden buildings/items in forests and montains. I live to look for interesting secrets.

Oh what a darn critics lol anyway, yeh I agree that my map's FPS is not so good. So I modified littlebit. As you guys said, I polished edges, and decreased ammount of trees.
If you put 'L' key (log key) and out, your FPS will get better. (Really better!)
Many Koreans speak their own language in warband. It looks 'blank' to you if you don't have a Korean font.
Mishkin. The 'Server' rule is not announced on this forum, so you maybe don't know the rule. Anyway I also know that a few Koreans are rule-breakers. There are many Korean rule-breakers who have been already banned. I think you were trapped by them and, you were also banned. (I didn't ban you. There are many admins in this server)
However, it is NOT 'UN-PLAYABLE' . Many ppl enjoy this map, but I will upload this map later on the forum cuz I think this map needs to be polished more. (such as fixing bugs, fixing textures etc..)

Well it is like 3 maps in 1 its huge it is nice to explore but the fps makes it hard for battles. I played it today again i noticed it is named hardcore pw server so i assume that means very little rules.
Im not sure what the rules are, but i guessed it was no killing unarmed. Although i am unattacked unarmed everytime i enter i have no problem with it. Im not sure what rule i broke apart from killing admin or admin's friend if that is a rule.
Could you tell me what the rules are? If the admins speak english maybe they could tell the player what they did wrong or warn them before banning.
I played as green again, a nuetral guy killed me unarmed when i went into the weapon shop, so i got revenge later and killed him unarmed. I was always under attack by bandits. Later outside green castle there was bandits, i used bow to kill one and i got kicked off the server again.
About the Korean text, yes i always see people talking with blank messages. Sometimes someone will say something in english though.
EDIT: I noticed that hardcore was not your server but i also played yours again this post.
Pressing L helps the FPS issue lots, the map is now playable
I had a better experience on it today, i found some new players that spoke english and no one would help them, so i escorted them back and forth from mines to castle, teaching them how to earn money, use local chat and all that, killing bandits along the way.
There was organized factions travelling along the popular routes, escoring merchants and serfs, people advertising services or items for sale. It was starting to feel like an online world
Even though there is heaps of trees in the forests i like the map it gives a sense of adventure. Inside green throne room there is a heap of flames, that causes fps issues. You know the archer tower with bows for sale at the top, it is just at the start of the forest on the path to the mines. That tower is too close to a tree, if you to the top of the tower you will see the tree is inside the tower and blocking the view of the window.
I thought this map may be too big for warband to handle, but using L solves that. It is a great map.
