Throwing spears i can deal with because vikings actually used throwing spears and axes back in their era, but never has a viking used a SPEAR to fight with

Use of thrustin spears by norsemen is mentionned several times in Sagas. It has also been proven many times by archeological founds.

It's actually hard to find a people on earth that never used spears for warfare. Its cheap, intuitive in the making and very deadly.

Man, someone actually said that? I feel sorry for the Vikings then, they'd have had a hard time fighting pesky Cavalry.

Okay well i should of said Never used it in a duel, which is true, of course they used spears on cavalry but have you ever seen a viking fighting/dueling on-foot combat? i have not, they would more likely slam a axe through someones head then cheaply poke at someone... when i said NEVER seen a viking fight i meant in a duel/on-foot combat

An issue i am still having is more towards lore that needs fixing, at the tournaments about 9 out of 10 times i running around with a shield and spear, and to me this is lore breaking because in the viking days they always dueled with swords.

The Vikings engaged in formal duels, or holmganga, to settle feuds. Holmganga roughly translates as “island going” and indicates that most duels took place on small islands where limitations of space (and, consequently, options for retreat), could be strictly enforced. The area of combat was determined by the laying out of a square cloth. Furrows were marked out around the cloth and the space was enclosed by a rope. Each of the combatants was allowed a second whose role was to hold the warrior’s shield. Swords were the weapon of choice.

The duel did not commence with both warriors rushing at each other. Instead, each man took his turn at making one strike against his opponent. If a combatant chose this opportunity to back off and in so doing placed his foot outside the cloth, he was deemed to have run away and the fight would be stopped. If a strike was effective and incapacitating, the wounded party was allowed to stop the fight but was then obliged to forfeit a sum of money to his winning opponent.

Also, my specs are (I think):
Interl(R) HD Graphics 4000.
4GB of Ram.
Intel(R) Core(TM) CPU @ 1.80GHz (4 CPUs)

Your computer is old. But you can fix it by just buying a cheap graphics card and you will be able to play VC on medium with 100-400 troops (depends on the card). When I say cheap I mean in the $40 to $80 bucks range.

Make sure you dont have a graphics card first tho. The HD Graphics is part of the CPU. You could have a graphics card and you just forgot to list it.

Using Steam: Steam menu, Help, System Information -> copy that and paste here

E.g: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%204026&IsNodeId=1&name=%2450%20-%20%2475&Order=PRICE

nah his computer isn't old, Integrated HD 4000 is recent, but seems to be a laptop

1.8 ghz CPU and u can run skyrim on high???????????? uhh what? min req for skyrim is 2.6ghz cpu i think, sure ur not thinking of morrowind? lol. and a Intel integrated GPU??? are you running a laptop?

EDIT:

Skyrim min requirements

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
Processor: Dual Core 2.0GHz or equivalent processor
Memory: 2GB System RAM
Hard Disk Space: 6GB free HDD Space
Video Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM
Sound: DirectX compatible sound card

k so apparently you might be able to run skyrim on medium (dual core 2.0 min but u got a quad)
but high? i can't see it, unless your stuttering low FPS lol.

Haven't experienced any of these issues so idk lol

Ok so with the new patch i got yesterday(the 200mb one) i got 2 new bugs to report.

First one is:



these are the 3 i've been getting a lot of, sometimes i get all 3 at the same time, or i get 1 after another, and seems like it happens when a lord is released from captivity/after a fight said lord lost

it verys though the mapID changes each time i see it (seen it around 12 times since update)

Second one:



cannot use ferry system for some reason, keeps kicking me back to start position...
EDIT: Ok so after letting the ferry cross the river it magically popped me to the other side, so uh, im pretty sure thats a bug lol.

idk about his computer cause hes not posting specs, but my computer isn't "beast" but vanilla warband, and floris mod i can run a 400 (200x200) with very little FPS loss and very little stuttering, but in VC my rig struggles with 100v100, i personally don't think its my computer but moreover the game it self, like how the map glitches wierdly i think it does the same in combat, like it struggles to load textures or something, idk. i do know that there is alot of graphical additions to the DLC (like seeing the town in real time while at the town menu) and the trees swaying... wierdly.. but they're swaying which is cool.

long story short i think the engine can't handle alot of the cool features that were added to this DLC and will probably have to be enhanced to support it

Thank you for reporting.

Wierd lighting bug with torches.

Click to expand...

I think that this is a warband graphic configuration theme. YOu try other graphics options.

Click to expand...

Well like i said, i run full graphics on everything except shadows, so are you saying i need to reduce something to make it not so bright?

With that light issue, trying turning the auto-exposure OFF. Worked for me.

Thanks that solved the lighting issue, now time for a few more bug reports



Ok so first bug

1. When using the tactical camera (Backspace) when your trying to walk or click on stuff within the options it just disappears....

When i say disappears i mean like i have to press backspace twice to get back into it, and if i backspace once to go back to character control the camera goes all wonky (like im still in tact camera just close to my character with no tactical options)

and im pretty sure this is a bug and kinda balance breaking, almost 90% of the top tier enemys are using daggers to fight with?????? and i THINK the cause of this is because im playing in realism mode which reduces skills to "balance" the need of using light armor for speed etc but yet the NPC's still run super fast (always faster then my own character with light armor and 6 athletic skill) and i think because of the "skill reduction" they cannot use the bigger better weapons so they turn around and use the next best thing in their inventory, a dagger >_>

So i'll probably have more to report in a little bit.

Here's a quick little thing that bothers me its not a bug but something i think should be fixed

This is the viking Era, but yet we use daggers and polearms to duel with in arenas??? doesn't make sense when its the viking era of axes and throwing weapons should replace these weapons in the arena with axes and blunt weapons, not really a mace but like a wooden club or something, out of like 15 arena matches i've had i only got 1 axe -_- lol.

Okey another quick bug report before i goto bed, almost all combat (except the first fight i had) the enemy troops will go into formation at the spawn spot and not move from there at all... when this happend on other mods (like floris) i could go up to them by myself wack them one time and they would charge, they don't do anything at all, like a few will go towards me n try to stab me, but other then that they go right back to thier formation and don't budge... this happens when i attack and defend, so its not a defend script (unless its a defend script triggering for attacking as well?)

Already another bug, not registering that im on water... >_> I have a magic horse that can walk on water! JESUS!!!



It was from dorstad to dunwic

Also when i got to Dunwic i got a bunch of rock RGL errors. too many to SS them all, but u get the jist (already been reported)
No CTD though.


there it got nice and compacted for ya

EDIT: Also got RGL error in eidynburh but didn't say of what, blank RGL errors....

Lol few more minutes into the game i ran across another bug




unlimited relations with heads of cattle, (i only had 5 heads of cattle that i stole from another village)

and lets me spam it, doesn't register that i don't have the cattle anymore...
