If you were on a horse charging towards a bloodthirsty nord wanting to eat your flesh, i'd pull out my sword, too.

when you put it that way... what?!  i'd ride gingerly away, plugging him with arrows and laughing as he charged toward me screaming.

yeah, i forgot about that.  i did do it once.  and i'd say it's another class.  you're in the arena, but you get your equipment.

So what exactly is this for?

mostly, if i've missed a type of combat encounter, i want to try it.  and while i doubt anything will make it into the game at this point, i'd enjoy hearing suggestions for new types.

it's great to be able to fight in the different locations.  i know there's some landscape variability, but it doesn't really compare to the different castles.  they're each unique.  (well, kinda).  some castles you can take the initial wall very easily, others the outer wall is a total *****.  there's different styles of construction.  sometimes the ranged defenders have a huge advantage and sometimes not.

it'd be cool if someone wrote a guide the castles of calradia.  under the pen name artinemeer.  with picture tours of the castles and strategies for besieging each one.

yeah,the details can be obnoxious sometimes.  but i think the game would really be lacking without sieges.

issues involving movement and the fine details of combat should really be discussed in an 'in game' context.  the movement and combat system in m&b are so roughly representative of real movement and combat that it winds up being rather silly to try to discuss them in realistic terms.  m&b is more realistic than a lot of games because it simplifies combat and movement.  there aren't all the sequenced combat events like other games.  but the simplicity makes m&b less realistic at the same time.  there are a lot of ways to move in real life.

You can also just W'TAANG kill that guy with any weapon you like, and quickly press tab after, before message comes. That way quest is done, but villagers seems not to find out that it was you killing him =D

Wow, a bug/cheat/glitch that is actually making sense, without the need to change it any way. It really does make sense... Though the villagers seem to be omnipotent, since they can see through walls and sense when a kinsmen is killed by a total stranger entering the village, without being seen by anyone.

it makes sense that they'd figure it was you.  "hey, who killed mindy the bachelorette?"  "i don't know.  all our friends and family in town denie it."  "i wonder if it was that guy in fancy armor on the horse and the 50 soldiers accompanying him that showed up and them left right around when mindy got knocked off?"

frodogorn is obnoxious, but really, the point is that the cover in no way captures the most exciting aspect of the game, combat.  the highelf cover doesn't either.  i'd like to see something like a charging or rearing swadian knight about to cave in the viewer's head with a morningstar with a bit of a glimpse of some others fighting in the background.  kind of life the initial loading art of the knight lancing some guy from horseback.  and the back of the box should have a picture of that knight sitting on his horse with a bunch of lance and arrow riddled bodies laying all around.

You defend yourself in sieges?! Why don't you just charge out and slaughter them all!

you make a good point.

supplemented by the king.  the swads are loaded.  seriously loaded.  everyone else are cavemen really.  it's like western europe meets the americas in 1500.

I am new to the game and i am supporting Lady Isolla of Suno and i had finaly taken over a castle, and i had left her in the garrison to go and train more men. When i was on the other side of Caladria, the castle got besieged and she was taken. Now i can't find her and i want to become a vassel of the Vagiers. What do i do???

点击展开...

will she really train men while garrisoned with them?  will other heroes?

vassal of swadia i think you mean.

i hadn't thought of leaving her somewhere.  she's buff.

-Only heroes were Borcha(who you had to get out of prison) and Marnid(who required padded cloth before you could recruit him. No other armor would do.)

getting companions is so stock.  it'd be cool if you had to bust someone out of prison to be a companion.  or do a quest for them.  or find them on the world map and help them beat up some bandits or something.

i always get a freeze when new enemies or reinforcements arrive.  i don't think it's a big deal.  a bit obnoxious, but it's actually somewhat useful to make sure i know about the event, which can be an important event.
