Swagger,
Take a city and make your kingdom .

[Swagger]

but i would like to still have the protection of the crusaders (though they appear to be the weakest faction in my game..)

[hellmartin]

how to attack cherson

[Armatus]

I installed Punkt's hires textures but they don't seem to work. Were the hq textures in reference to the new armors? Because the maps doesn't look much different than vanilla.

You know i never gor an awnser to my question, so i think i'll just keep asking it until someone notices.

Why don't the Teutons have more goddamned swords? I mean the game has more polearms and axes and such which is actually pretty realistic...but the KNIGHTS have SWORDS...they just do.

P.S.
Sorry for that little rant

*edit*
Also: YAY, i got veteran status

Beautiful.

Which faction have that curved sword?

[Tamerlan]

oh, i tought it could be a problem with the mod

i never had such problem in other mods.. i'm currently in day 80

and yes, most of the times i conquer castles that used to belong to the Crusaders (wich im vassal of) and that got conquered.. so just i conquer back

You wont get any castles if there is a Lord in your faction that has no fiefs. And since Lords in this mod are pretty active in the matter of conquering enemy fiefs you have to work hard and fast to get a castle to be rewarded to you.

I've captured 4 castles in a row before the king gave me one. Lucky I've released enough prisoners in each to cover my casualties. Thats probably the key to success. Make sure the castle you attacking have enough prisoners in it. So once you'll take it you'll have enough troops to attack the next one regardless of casualties.

[Lord Yung]

Thanks fer the quick reply m8

[JoG]

looks great but one sujestion please add lithuania as a faction as they were a major power in this time frame

No, they weren't. Their time has not come yet. THIS IS SPARTAAA!!! 1237!!!

Beautiful.

That's falchion, so, I guess, it's for the Western Europeans. (btw, isnt' it too early for this type?)

how to attack cherson

It's impossible. Cherson (I think they will change the name to Kherson in later versions) is like Zendar in M&B beta.


2 all
IMHO, 400 renown is too low. I try to have at least 1000 renown before I start thinking about my personal fief. And... it's better to capture the castle first, and then become a vassal - your fief will remain yours.

[jimk]

Nice swords.

[Wu-long]

Nice swords.

i second that ^^

[Armatus]

Since I will only play as a character from a distant land the beta is practically unplayable if you choose small trader as a profession. I suck at arena combat, but it only gives you very little anyway, and my stats aren't good enough as a trader to fight well. Additionally I can't get a decent horse, because if I put points in riding the only courser to buy is like over a thousand that leaves me with about 1400 left over.

So I can choose to get some merc for a sizable amount or I can spend on goods. If I buy goods and no merc I'll get my goods stolen leaving Kherson. If I buy merc with no goods, I have no where to trade, and with only a handful of merc I get repeatedly accosted by steppe bandits who kill them anyway. If I choose to shell out for a horse I'm a little faster on the map, but again have little money left and all it takes is one encounter and I've been robbed and beat bloody.

So I would please ask that the devs show just a little love to a small trader from a distant land. After all I've sailed two seas to get there, I should be a little more experienced and a little more respected.

Thanks!

P.S. I still couldn't get this to work with Punkt's hires campaign map textures, but I was able to install gutekfiutek's polished landscapes and it's gonna be amazing when I meet some crusaders. Here's a quick shot I took after getting mobbed by looters... (yes looters...)

[Lord Yung]

^^lol at looters

I agree with the trader issue though, it's preety much impossible to get a good start with any sort of character if you start at Cherson.

[Titanshoe]

Is it possible to make the fonts mod only? Bechause they dont fit some mods, like Starwars conquest etc.
