Not really, you can set it up as you like. If set it to the default "realistic" setting, only cutting weapons can dismember. And you have to make enough damage in a hit, so it´s not like that you´re seeing archers dismembering anything. Feels pretty good for me.
Ah, thanks. Wasn't aware that all the version after 1.6.5 were still in beta.
It's not hard, it's broken. In my old save, Vlandia was at the brink of extinction, having only one or two towns and no more than 3 castles. There were many super poor clans with no fiefs in it. I've stumbled upon a leader of such clan and persuaded her to join - but then she demanded more than a half of my money, lol.
It does! But I feel in recent versions they were more greedy even with good relations too, so I don't know, it needs some revisions for sure. Also it would go a long way to actually display what it is the clan leader is considering, like his relation with play/ruler, his finances, the power situation or "other". I speculate having more/too many clans makes it difficult or impossible to recruit clans too, if so this should be revised as I feel uniting all clans should be a viable goal to end the game, especially if clans will not "leave the realm" like in warband.
One thing to keep in mind is that if you are at peace with their faction, joining you will mean the loss of all their fiefs. Hence, it is going to be rather difficult to convince them as they take that loss into account. If you are at war, they get to keep their fiefs. Like Ananda said, relationship is a factor.
Sorry for the late reply, back from a trip.
), however they seem to be on the right track. That said, that path unfortunately won't devolve into what many of us thought it would... I mean... of course I like the OoB and it's an improvement upon PBOD but it still needs heavy polishing... and that to this day many folks find it surprising/wow that agents climb stairs or various maps where they see a particular location... boy, that's cool... but that doesn't wow me at this stage of the match.
... a hamster wasteland wheel.
Agreed, the patch was a big step forward in many areas IMO, but it's true these long running problems all still need attention (and hopefully will be easier to fix than siege pathfinding).I don't know if it's hope™ (you know what that path leads to
There are still fundamental/basic problems that need attention NOW... damage/protection system, battle ai, the ****ing wild jitterning, cover diplomacy basics, etc...
Not a screenshot sorry (away from PC) but at 1:55 the new armors are showcased
This has happened all the time. Since both their east and west borders are sort of choke points, you're always the clan to hold a fief closest to newly conquered one so you're considered a candidate if not the best. They stop considering you for anything after you eventually own half of what SE/Khuzaits or WE/Vlandia owned or you can always give it back to realm for electing a new owner.
yes and no
