    I'll install it later, I like battle mode m'self.

  2. Bring me up to speed

    cRPG? What's that?

  3. Bring me up to speed

    Ah.

    Maybe Siege warfare has advanced beyond the point of forming lines and duking it out? :razz:

    In beta, I always picked up a good shield in exchange for the admittedly crappier, but free spear. Because of this, my main tactic on a siege entry way was to jump into them, stab, block and go back.

    What kind of game modes are popular?

  4. Bring me up to speed

    I haven't played Warband since the beta. Is it still alive and kicking? I can't buy the game yet, will have to wait another year or two.

    Does picking up a shield and spear still work as an Infantryman in a siege/team game, or will I get my arse handed to me?

    LOL Jews don't commit mass genocide? HAHA!

    Have the Jews killed millions of other humans? Have they sent people to gas chambers, then make soap out of their dead body fat. Did they dig a huge hole and bury thousands of persons there? Then they also must of have mutilated their victims, perform many horrible experiements on them, while they're alive. Not to mention other such horrors.

    As for the intelligence part, well, if you really believe that, then you're beyond salvation.

    It takes a lot to move a country to war, much less genocide.


    That being said, if the Germans really hated the Jews that much to begin with..then I really ought to wonder why they continued to live there. xD

    Not exactly. We might be a bit more advanced if a certain Catholic church didn't go burning people that were proven to be thinking with their own minds. Nothing pisses greedy higher clergy more than people thinking. Means less cash for them.
    Click to expand...

    Actually, besides less cash, it also meant the Catholic church could be wrong. This means that if they let it go, it would mean more people start to question what the Catholics shove down throats. This means they lose a potentially exponential amount of cash, and their ironhold grip on the government/culture.

    Yes, everyone can agree that Catholics are a bit retarded, if not bat**** insane.

    Actually Hyp, historians say Jesus did exist. Whether he was a miracle man or just a crazy guy is up to debate.

    They don't, that's part of the problem. You've got around six historians who were contemporaries of Jesus, and yet none of them mention him. Which considering the amount of crap that occurs throughout the New Testament (the world being plunged into darkness for three days for example), is somewhat unusual.

    Again, the Bible is mostly a work of allegory. The darkness would not have proven physical. Sorry for the double-posting, but this box is screwed up-It won't let me make long posts enless I edit them in notepad. Edit: Editted in Notepad..because I was doing it anyway.

  7. Do you forgive Hitler?

    And that makes you virtuous :razz:? I hate hypocrits. If there is a hell, it is the 'god-fearing folk' who pick and choose what they follow that deserve to suffer in it the most.

    Actually, their very same God promises that "lukewarm" Christians will suffer a greater fate than any 'evil' person. Basically, He wants you to follow his Word as best as you can..or be pure ****ing evil.


    This is often ignored, to make Christianity sound better.

    Thank God I don't go to churches.

  8. Do you forgive Hitler?

    After what's he has done according to official history, can you bring yourself to forgiving him? I don't forgive him since I don't see anything wrong with Hitler's epic genocide. He did what he had to to conquer.

    Great.


    For everbody else, God teaches us to forgive our enemies.

    He also taught us to stone loose women, and we all know that we're not doing either of those things.

  9. [Suggestion] Couched mode.

    this would be too big of a nerf to lancing. The current version is terrible, this one isn't much better

    The advantage I was trying to make was you could basically couch somebody without being close enough to get a 80 mph sword to the face.

    There is a forum for Warband that's not suggestions, however I think this may be the appropriate place.

    A young hero named Valerin;
    was slaying all those that were hammering;
    him with their fists;
    he felt his own mantits;
    and grabbed a mighty bow that is crossed;
    and showed them two idiots that he couldn't be bossed.

    Puccio was fighting;
    whilst Hajbab was sighting;
    Valerin's delicate ballsack;
    and his hefty man-rack.
    Hajbab was stunned;
    when his friend was shunned;
    into the afterlife;
    with a little bit of strife.

    Yeah, not the nicest..but still, if I can kill you with a Nordic Short Sword versus a Swadian Great Sword..you can't exactly blame it on ping, besides of which..Guy was auto-blocking xD!

  11. [Suggestion] Couched mode.

    That being said, I would like to add on to this: Make it so you could move your lance out way farther to the right and left for a couched lance kill at risk of either; A)Dropping your lance, having been wrenched from your grasp; or B)the lance breaks, unable to take the strain. The chance of...

  12. [Observation/Suggestion] Unintended benefit to the .720 couching system?

    CtrlAltDe1337 said:
    Observation:
    So I've been playing cav more on .720 and I have noticed something.  The way couching works now, a horse that moves slower and has slower turning stats can turn more while still keeping their lance in couch mode.  You can theoretically do the same thing by simply slowing down your horse and tapping A or D with a fast horse, but its a lot easier with a big, slow warhorse or charger.
          Now, the point is, this is a really good thing!  A warhorse should have an easier time couching than a courser.  And this is what this patch helps achieve.  Sarranid, desert, and steppe horses seem to have the hardest time at controlling a couch(because of their turning skill, they reset the lance position really easily).  In my opinion, this is a great gameplay change that is also really realistic.  Heavy cavalry would traditionally use couching the most, while light cavalry fulfilled more of a skirmisher role part of the time. I think if the amount you could turn without reseting your couch could be increased slightly, it would make the cavalry system much better than any version before, as right now it still resets a little too easily.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Suggestion:
    Or better yet, the system could be improved even more with a few simple changes.
          First, make it where you press X to swap the lance into "couch mode" (like swapping the great axe now).  In couching mode, you click to lower the lance and it stays down for a certain amount of time.  This will add a little more skill into the equation.  Basically, this is similar to Welcome to Hell's suggestion.  BUT--when in couching mode, limit your ability to turn, equivalent to how far you can turn in .720 without reseting the lance.  i.e. you can mash down A or D but it only turns you at the same speed as tapping A or D to keep your lance down in .720.  This will stop people from accidentally turning too far and raising their lance while trying to couch, while keeping the turn limitation in.  The turn limitation is a good thing, as it keeps people from riding in circles in couch position, and makes you think harder about when to try to couch and when to thrust

    Is this perhaps the holy grail of M&B cavalry?  All 3 forms of cavalry combat will have their place (couch, thrust, sword), and different horses will be better for different combat styles even more than now.

    This would make it so only the wealthy can couch-Warhorses aren't exactly cheap, and a good player can dehorse somebody pretty quickly. I would support if couching mode lets you move your lance out farther.

    What do you think?

  13. Funny thing happened today :D

    First off-If there's a forum for Warband that isn't flooded with suggestions or bugs, tell me, because obviously my posts need to be there and not on this forum. Hear hear. After leaving a siege match[Didn't like the factions or the graphical lag of a large number of people], I decided a duel...

    Not bloody likely.

    Mmmhmm. Only saying that Archers are a backbone of any Warband, and so, you will always have to deal with them.

    And enless you want to be diving for cover and/or moving back and forth like a nutter to avoid being shot, the best way to deal with them is a shield.

    :X Just trying to lay the two weapon fighting thing to rest.

    As a moderately off-topic thought, I'd like to see higher swing speeds for the guan daos in the game-They're heavy, to be sure, but not that heavy.

      I only said it's not likely that anyone can cut a flying arrow in half. Of course a shield is useful.

    Crap; I sounded like I was disagreeing with you. I'm not.

    That being said, why do people want duel-wield...

    I get it!

    It's like those roleplayers that can magically dodge everything!
