Dear me, Sorkenlol.

Uh, looks like I messed up the colour correction settings.

I have to say, I could definitely get used to that. Looks like something from Smoke&Toke more than M&B though.

As for this:

I think I could get used to it if it was in full motion. In screenshot format though it's hard to follow the lines. It's an interesting style anyways.



As for me and my house...
Waiting for some killins

At least they updated the screenshots finally. I was showing a friend the page a few weeks back and he balked at the graphics and I had to take a step back and show him some newer IGN shots and some screens from graphical enhancement mod.

The new screens they have on there are MUCH better.

Is the "shoot over the shield" thing still working in 1.003?

I routinely headshoted anyone over his shield in 0.960 but in the latest release I never managed to do that, on the other side I was never headshoted over my shield either.

点击展开...

I've been able to do it. Not as easily as I was able to, but it's basically a lucky shot now that will make it just over the shield and hit the top of the head, but as was said, it's a bit too unpredictable so I'll normally go for the legs. Does annoy me though that it will sometimes say I've hit their shield when I'm shooting down at someone from a higher level and shield should be no issue unless they put it up over their heads.

I am starting a new game, and I am thinking of going for Khergit Khanate or Swadia, I think I am going to be a horsearchery aswell, I am just wondering if it's any good or if it's been fixed in some way since the last versions of the game?

Yes

TheMageLord 说:

The reason they gang up on you is the way the thing is set up. It only has so many teams, and randomly assigns them a team as they spawn. If it happens to spawn a group on the same team, you get ganged.

I was thinking of modifying it to have 40 teams and all 40 fighters spawn from the beginning, but I probably won't try anything like that until the module system is out. And then I have lots of things that I'd rather do FIRST, so it would probably be a while.

点击展开...

That would make me quite happy. 40 guys at once is more what I thought it would be in the first place when I heard I had to defeat a ton of guys. But if they all spawn at once and tear into each other, the chances of getting the requisite amount of kills arn't nearly as good.

I was wondering why they suddenly all turn around and run my way to rape me sometimes. Happens in tournies too with multiple teams suddenly deciding my rear has stuck around too long (Is thinking about a memorable first round rape in Wercheg). I just thought it was one of those magic AI's I've seen so often that lock on to the player and only the player to kill even when a bunch of NPC allies are around (Yes I'm looking at you Call Of Duty and Battlefield).

I don't necessarily want a structured story...but I kind want a little bit more immersion. As in maybe a few random tidbits on a village, a little bit of background on a lord, a little bit more information about the background of a kingdom, its roots, and such. Just to get a feel for the environment I'm in. It also might be nice to inject a little humor and just random information. Imagine pulling up the information on Kulum and seeing a brief history of the town and something like "Formerly a blight on the landscape as a lawless town of river pirates until they were forcably driven out by *whatshisnamefromzendar*" or such. It'd just be nice to have a little bit of random information to give the player a feel of the world where they are creating their own story.

I guess I'm fine making my own stories up though from scratch...but I havn't really come up with a good image in my mind for the backstory behind the Veagirs...other than maybe that they have a really annoying king...

Throw that bull**** 'appropriateness' score out the window and it looks like it scored more in the 90s.

点击展开...

Math is not your strong point.

You are all flipping out about the "appropriateness" score.
Look at it for a moment.

Final Ratings
Game Play 18/20
Sound 7/10
Graphics 7/10
Controls 5/5
Stability 4/5
This adds up to 41/50
Appropriateness 42/50
Overall 83%

Surprise! Appropriateness actually RAISED the score given to the game.
Put away your torches and shut up.


This isn't all that uncommon. Just look at at special interest groups rating games for appropriateness. One of my favorite of these is GamerDad.com
In most of the ones I've seen, these groups are very fair to the game and the reviews are fairly informative.

...or just d/l the item editor and change the amount of arrows in a quiver.

In reality, i prefer using notepad2 to do this kind of change than the item editor. I know what im looking for, I know where to go... easier in my opinion than opening a totally different program and doing it (note; notepad2 is my default text opener thingie. )

点击展开...

Yes but for those of us who have very little scripting experience, a nice GUI interface is a safe haven.

I don't think I've ever looted any boots with over +15 or so.

You'll just have to buy them if you want decent boots.

Citing a post on a forum just seems rather odd. It definitely wouldn't be allowed on my papers in college.

点击展开...

Citing Wikipedia isn't allowed on college papers either, AFAIK.

点击展开...

Depends on where you go I guess.
A friend of mine was talking about being allowed one citation of wikipedia per paper for some classes. Then again he was a business major.

The situation isn't realistic to begin with?
Sure they may not line up and charge at you, but looters HAVE been caught by regiments before. A regiment is sent back to an area of the battlefield for burial duty and they find a bunch of looters, chase after them, catch them, and ruff them up/hang them.

In the M&B context, maybe they realize they are caught and do their best to fight their way out to get to freedom (kinda like I've done when I get caught by 100 man Khergit armies when I'm low level).


Anyways, I stopped using the autocalc early on when my mercenary force of 50 Nords went up against 13 looters and I ended up losing 1 Huscarl out of the deal. The worst part about it though was that it was my first ever top-tier troop in the game. Made me very sad.

found this site via Kotaku and it wasn't on their radar until August, so I'm sitting at the ultra-noob .960

I bought it to tide me over before Spore came out and I'm still playing it instead of Spore.

Just ask multiple people on your way to find him. Like ask at the capital and then on your way to where they say he is, ask at a castle, etc. It kind of gives you a general idea of which way he's heading. Probably toward a castle along that line of movement. So follow that line and you'll probably find him. If you don't end up finding him after a few days, just forget about it and go back to business as usual.

In the official manual it explains that when you are too close, your stabs will do minimal damage; if you can get them mid-way through the thrust, maximum.

点击展开...

maybe its just me, but it seems that with certain poles you can't even attack at all when you are too close. i noticed this when defending a siege, as long as the enemy was climbing the ladder my hero would thrust his pike down on them effectively, but once they got up and close I didn't even see the attack animation when i tried hitting them. good thing i had my axe on me

点击展开...

Indeed. This is why I like the versatility of the Iron Staff. You can poke at the enemy if you have your shield out, but when they close the distance, put the shield up and swing away and do decent damage once again. Then you can jump on a horse and couch a bunch of people for the win. It's nothing like using a great axe, but it keeps me alive better than a jousting lance or spear. I used the Balanced Iron Staff quite a lot when I had my INT/CHA character. Currently with my horse archer though it's great axe all the way for any melee.

TheMageLord 说:

Hmm, 1000 virgins? Tempting, but 1000 women is just too much to handle - it'd make my dream into a nightmare. I'll settle for 10

Haha, your all welcome.

I've been enjoying making these. It started out as just tweaking things to make my own gameplay better. Then it got to where tweaking the game became as much fun as playing it. Now I'm running my M&B game in windowed mode, checking the forums and making tweaks between battles.

点击展开...

Eh, 1000 is enough for total anonymity between the women. Not too much infighting.
10 though...each of them knows who the other is and each is ready to launch themselves at your eyeballs for favoring one over the other.

I'd go for the 1000.

and by the way, I'm sure you could find plenty of volunteers to help you handle them.
