Been too busy at work and other stuff these days to establish my usual MP dominance (admit it).

If there's a specific day on the weekends when you have these little matches I'll definitely show up.

I'll keep the KEEN dream alive, don't worry.

Anything happening?

Last few times I've started up M&B most people seem to be playing that awful CRPG mod.

Definitely want to join in on that mixed clan battle.
Last month my PC died, then a bit later my hard drive wiped, and to top it off I've had no broadband for the last 10 days. Need my MP fix, basically.

Log in and find cRPG server popular again.

Cried a bit.

And wtf is this autoblock thing.

Really wish people would move back from the Aus Mod Server (running Persistent World) to GoN's Battle.

From what I've seen, most of the 'gameplay' involves gathering gold. About 10% of the time spent playing the mod involves players stumbling out of their castles for an unorganised raid against someone else. Whichever faction is defeated subsequently loses half their team to ragequits because they lost all their gear.

Minsc loves all you ****s

I think Vaegir troops, or at least their actual warbands, are quite overpowered. Their archers are powerful, but understandable as that should be their faction strength.

It's mainly the hammer wielding troops that are so ridiculous relative to other factions. It certainly is not their faction weakness. I had a quick look at their I3-5  stats and their powerstrike combined with weapon speed and blunt damage gives them a very large advantage. Playing as the nords, which supposedly have excellent infantry, and even I4 or I5 huscarl troops have a really tough time against equivalent (or even 'weaker') vaegirs troops.

Still, main imbalance are the bloody C6 Vaegir Elitniy Druzhinniks. Every army has a fair amount of them, and they can absolutely decimate anything else. No other faction troop gives me as much trouble as these guys.
I have 60 armour on both head and body, and 70hp. These badasses regularly knock me out in one or two hits, and that's not even when they are charging on horse for speed bonus or bump-slash. So imagine how well they do against regular AI troops. Combine this one-hit attack power with their heavy armour, and they could easily take out any other troop. They can be managed on the battlefield through positioning to stop their charges (e.g. hills), but the main problem is the sieges.
The amount of sieges I've lost just because of these guys is ridiculous. Sometimes I would see these guys would on average get 10-15+ knockouts each in a siege. Was tempted to record it in fraps or something to show how crazy they can be.

I find Sarranid and Swadian cavalry (or armies in general) to be far easier to deal with.

This was happening to me earlier, where battles are ok but entering any city crashes the game (tested in both native and this mod).

I saw this fix posted by someone else:

Since you are running it on steam, make sure that you are online. The game doesn't like it when you are in offline mode because it screws up achievements.
To counter this, you can enable cheat mode which turns off the Steam achievements.

It worked for me, I dunno if you have the same problem but good luck.

I'm pretty sure Thorn tends to switch factions when he notices the imbalance he causes, if only to keep people playing.

No use dominating one team continuously and have them ragequit, as the server would just die. I try to keep this in mind as well (it's also why I hate khergits; while playing as them may be fun, you have to remember how annoying the other team finds it).

Otherwise, I don't think people should have to restrict themselves too much when it comes to fighting new players.

It isn't that people are playing cRPG that is the problem. It's probably that we lose people in the process of migrating to cRPG. People most likely go over there to escape KEEN. It's simply not fun playing against KEEN when they spam the chat, TK you, and make everyone else on the server leave, so it's just 4v4. cRPG offers a bit of security as it's less about personal skill and more about how much you play it.

Hah, I doubt anyone truly plays cRPG to avoid dealing with KEEN lulz. Picking on Gondor was no different than picking on the legend that is Akkadian in the beta days; lots of people just seemed to find it amusing.

And if anything, the current cRPG playerbase pretty much shuts out new players due to the large proportion of people wearing plate and wielding the best weapons, which they bought after farming EU servers. Most new-entrants get destroyed by a heavily armoured 'vet' a few times and can't be bothered staying.

A few nights ago we had about 25 people on the dojo server, yet a whole bunch of people on mumble outright refused to join. Something about it being unregulated and whatnot, and how you all dislike dojo for whatever reason.

I dunno about you guys, but I usually just play on whichever battle server has the most players.
If you avoid a server because of some petty clan-vs-clan squabbling, then you are the one that is fracturing our small community (not directed at any specific group of people btw).

And lol@KEEN haters, especially Knightmeister.

You might want to test out some siege battles first, to make sure the round-timer and respawn settings are balanced for both sides. It's been a while, but I remember some siege battles being way too easy to defend (or attack) with default settings (depending on the map, number of players, etc).
