    Gekokujo: Bugs and Suggestions

    Fatigue is an important part of combat, so it would be nice to have if it's well implented.
    This reminds me of some old historical reports that were written by some duke about a mock combat that involved a group of knights in foot combat, about a dozen of them just fell over at some point, they were dead too.
    It was believed they had suffocated back then, but it's much more likely they died from heat exhaustion.
    Exert yourself while wearing armor... body heat can't escape the armor and cool air can't reach you very well, then your core body temperature rises a few degrees and you are done for.
    Yeah, heat exhaustion, fatigue... it would be nice if it was a problem in Gekokujo.

    I'm a member of the SCA, We have large scale battles for hours outside on cold and hot days, some of us like me wearing full European plate armor. The armor itself is surprisingly lightweight and while the material doesn't breath too well it's very manageable. If you fall over, it's just as easy to stand back up in a full suit of armor as it is in your street cloths.

    Most of your exhaustion comes from the fact that you are running, dodging, swinging and recovering from some pretty monstrous blows, it's no worse than running in the same gear our current military issues however the only thing that really starts to weigh you down is the muscle strain from holding up a 10-15lb shield.

    Many new people who have joined the SCA never even imagined that the hardest thing would not be moving around in the armor all day but merely holding a shield, I've seen many trainees only fight for an hour or so before they can no longer hold one up to defend themselves, the arm muscles simply stop and your arm hangs uselessly at your side.
    How does a polearm compare to a shield in that respect? Especially considering that Japanese polearms were often made for swinging and not just thrusting.

    I've swung a halberd on more than one occasion, the imbalance of the weight is difficult to get use to, however since you're using two hands to hold it (one hand high and one hand low) it's less exhausting since the weight is more distributed. You use your legs, hips, abdominal, and shoulders to swing larger weapons so it's easier to go for longer period of times.

    After a while you find yourself switching hands to positions to give your arm holding most of the weapon's weight a rest and putting the weight on the other arm, or holding the polearm close to your torso and using your body to help swing the weapon as opposed to reaching out with it.

    The Original L'Aigle Thread, for the sake of history. Be ye warned.

    India-Pattern Service Musquet does 4p damage, low level British line infantry use this rifle making them useless at ranged.

    That's very disappointing, one of my favorite things to do is starting a new character as a common soldier and "rise through the ranks" once I hit the top of the freelancer's troop tree I'll then ask the king to become a Vassal.

    This usually gives me some relations with different lords, helps with starting cash, added protection from early game bandits, if new to the faction it helps you learn their strengths and weaknesses, you make "friends" with a lord/lords without having to complete repetitive and sometimes annoying tasks for them, and overall helps your character gain much needed skills.

    Freelancer might be a small addition that can be overlooked by most players, but there are quite a few of us that live by that system as a starter or sometimes going as far to to making a character who has sworn his loyalty to a lord and has never left his service. (have a character on Gekokujo that's on day 800-ish in his service to Great Lord Ryuzoji)

    I Personaly I've sunk hundreds of hours into the system, it's just another way to breath life into your world.

    Do you have any guess whether there are going to be many more versions after 3.0 and its patches? I ask because I have this obsession to play mods as finished as possible, and any post 3.0 releases could potentially ruin that :neutral:

    Wouldnt be surprised if this runs until Bannerlord, and then onto Gekokujo Bannerlord.

    If there isn't a Gekokujo Bannerlord, I'll be severely disappointed. It's been hard going back to sword and board after this masterpiece.

    honestly don't see why we couldn't just get microfactions for 3.1, don't think getting 3.0 early would really push back the implementation of it any and would give people something to tie them over until it's in. But I have Diablo 3 to keep me occupied so whatever you feel best.

    I've simply use the surname Urashima for all my characters. makes it easier to save a profile and carry him over to other mods and back. Like to pretend he just travels a lot.

    Would it be possible to use the arena trigger to change clothes when we go inside? I always feel a little weird that I am the only person that has full armor on during feasts.

    not to mention shoes, no one would wear them inside their own home yet alone their lord's.

    Nice expensive tatami mats you have there, would be a shame if someone tracked in the blood of your enemies all over it.

    The anticipation for 3.0 is palpable. Haven't played Warband in a while, but now it's all I want to play. Other mods just aren't scratching that itch like Gekokujo does.

    I've Gone as far as to make this forum my homepage so I can see it every time I open Chrome.

    i had half a mind to make "tournaments" take place in the town as back-alley one-on-one duels. in fact, i'm still kind of tempted to do that

    I really like that idea, sounds strange as a "tournament" tho. Maybe "Challenge an Opponent" or something along those lines and lower the overall gold reward to a match by match basis instead of winning the whole thing if possible.

    An easy fix for the Practice area could be remade into a small "Dojo" give everyone robes instead of running around naked, and lower the spawn.

    I had no idea there was an auto block function and ive been playing MB since it was in early alpha.

    Then you must be an absolute Legendary Master at Manual Blocking, what do you use? Mouse Movement Block?

    You don't have to be amazing at manual blocking, single-player opponents don't try to fake, or chamber. It's ridiculously easy, just hold a fake to force a block and your attack always lands.

    Nice image, but...what's up with the guy on the left's helmet? Looks like part of his neckguard is hollow. Did the artist just forget to colour it in?

    That's the plates that hang from threads on the back of the neck, from a top down perspective they'ed look like thin sheets of metal.

    Freelancer Bug

    Ivan the Awesome 说:
    It is supposed to represent the brutal and hierarchical reality of the day. No peasant could achieve knighthood simply by shooting lots of other peasants in the face. And I think if you increase your renown high enough and enlist with a different faction you get the new status anyway, do you not?

    How does it represent it at all if it's purely based on renown and not choices at character creation? look at me the goat farmer, I'll wait and enlist at 150 fame BAM! Knight. no wait i was born as a lesser noble, i'm a common foot soldier now.

    Oh sure you can go to a different faction and suddenly be a knight. "Hey guys, I'm a dirty archer from England, how about you make me a Knight of the Holy Roman Empire? yes? pay's good? sweet."

    The current freelancer system makes no damn sense.

    you can recruit deserters and it will lower your renown by 30

    So basically, if I want to be a simple archer, and missed the chance by gaining more than 100 renowns, I should seek deserters all around the map, try to recruit them if I got the money and lower my renown.

    This is nothing but a pain in the butt, I always use cheat mode and other stuff that lets you edit the situation but this is totally pointless and without enough money and open map, it's not possible to do it.

    Sorry but gotta admit, this version of freelancer sucks, in my opinion.

    I agree that the freelancer sucks, so you want to raise in the ranks from start to knight? nope, you're stuck forever as an archer, even after i received plenty of renown and went back to enlist, still an archer. the system is just bad.

    Would be better off going from archer to soldier to knight, with the option to not be promoted if you want to stay archer or whatever. Instead of this renown crap.
