An amazing cavalry tactics video, stolen from the reddit brigade. Take a look at it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3woOSrxK7GE

I'm pretty good at cav (or all the people I kill are just really bad), but I didn't know a lot of the stuff in there.

There's only one thing I'm unclear about: are you a European-only regiment, or do you participate in the US events also? If you only do European, I will try to make as many events as I can, but I am American.

I don't know about killing infantry with sword cav (whenever I play that, I usually rely on sneak attacks or killing people who are distracted by melee), but I play lancer and can easily kill a skilled, aware infantry player 1v1. I just go in, slow down at the last second, and turn left as the lance is at its maximum extent.

Now, there are some tricks infantry can pull that work well: the best one is to use ~ to watch the cav player while walking in the opposite direction, then spin around and stab him with the bayonet as he comes in for the "easy kill", but that can be countered if you're expecting it. And, of course, infantry can just block down, but if they try that I usually come back around for a couch (although a skilled player should be able to tell whether a cav is making a stab pass or a couch pass). Trying to jump in front of the horse only works to stop couches; it's an easy kill when you're going for a stab.

However, the best way for an infantry player to defend himself is to get in good defensive territory: it's very hard to lance someone in a narrow alleyway, and almost impossible if he's got someone helping him. So in a city or a close group of buildings, infantry definitely has the advantage 1v1. But the worst thing for cav, if we don't restrict ourselves to melee, is the guns. A loaded gun is the best defense against cav: if you are any good at aiming, you can kill a cav coming in for a lance every single time. The problem (for infantry) is that they get impatient and try to shoot while I circle at a distance, waiting for them to do just that before coming in for the kill.

I don't claim to be a master player, but I usually top the charts or come very close as lancer, getting around 2:1 in TDM. Most of the times I die, it's either because (in order) I a) got shot, b) got my horse shot and got stabbed on the ground, c) misjudge the timing, d) get reckless while trying to kill someone who looks oblivious or who is reloading, or e) make an unwise tactical maneuver like charging into a dense group of enemies.

Amnar is right. Most reasonable people ran away when it became apparent that they were going to die to a bayonet charge. The difference is that in NW, people have no incentive to preserve their lives.

If you ask a lord for someone's location, the choices are all in terms of how those people feel about each other. For example, instead of showing "Boyar Bracha" as a choice, it says "Boyar Bracha thinks highly of you".

Also, I sent Ymira on a mission to spread the word about my rule, in which she was supposed to say that I would protect merchants' rights, but Odval complained about Ghazwan (who I have not recruited) saying something about getting orphans off the streets and how she wouldn't be able to cheat in tournaments.

Whenever someone leaves and wants to rejoin the party, I get script errors. Something about "consequences".

Sometimes (I think it may have to do with them retreating because I turned them on Skirmish mode) I get an after battle report saying that a large number of my horse archers have died, when they are perfectly fine.

With regard to Bug 118 (invisible olives) some of the textures on items are much darker than Native, including olives. I'm not sure why this is the case, but it was like this in 2.4. I would like it if these could be their regular colors, instead of greyed out (especially olives, which are quite difficult to see).

A pretty serious error in the Expanded Troop Tree: the H5 Amazon Sword Sisters, supposed to be Horse Archers, carry Self Bows, which can't be used on horseback, so they charge into melee and get wiped out.

Holy crap , i didnt know that... Thanks

It took me forever to find that one out. I don't know why it isn't documented, but it makes the game go so much faster.

...if anyone would like to comment as to whether or not the Hotfix takes care of the ranged Weapon Proficiency bug, or the opening quest's bandit lair bug (or to confirm that the viking texture bug is gone, even though that should be a sure bet), that would be appreciated.

Yes, these are all fixed, thank you.

Also, both allied and enemy lords don't seem to be putting their standards on their troops' shields and armor. All I'm getting is the Red and Black design of a player allied with no faction. In connection with this, whenever I join battle on the side of someone else, I get to command his troops.

I agree that the bandit groups look too much like uniformed armies. Since they're all the same kind of unit, they actually look even more uniformed than the lords' armies.

Great!

Thanks. I will try that.

Also, you said that the Archery proficiency thing was just a typo. If so, can you point out to us how to fix it or post the corrected file?

My game just crashed because of the "Can't load Viking textures" bug.

I was raiding a Nord village, and I got attacked by a Nord lord defending his village, and the game crashed when the battle loaded.

I am also getting the inflated Archery stats, although it seems like it has a point where it really skips ahead: I was going along fine, until one battle I noticed that my crosshair was not expanding, then I checked and I had 1000 in Archery and 820 in Crossbow (which I wasn't even using). Kinda takes the fun out of it to kill everything in one hit at full speed from horseback.

Also, the Feathered Highlander Cap intersects the head when worn, for some reason. Might want to fix that.

On the topic of the "glow in the dark armor" that Rokem mentioned: there are several textures in the game that look REALLY bad, notably the quilted armor that Rokem took a screenshot of, but also the quiver for "Black Arrows", and a few other outfits for the Sarranids that are way too bright and have very little detail. They really stand out. Also, the armor the looters wear doesn't look too good, either. Not in the "I don't like the color" sense, but in the "this looks totally fake" sense. I think these textures should either be fixed or replaced with something else.

Also, somewhat hilariously, the textures for Sarranid Arrows and their quivers are reversed, meaning troops wear a single arrow and fire quivers full of arrows! It looks very funny after a siege, with quivers sticking out of the walls.

Can someone confirm whether women from the Sword Sister upgrade line are still able to recruiting in taverns? I haven't seen any yet. While I don't think it's realistic to have tons of women mercenaries wandering around, there doesn't seem to be any way to recruit "Refugee" women or any or the troops they upgrade into. (I have been training female horse archers by knocking out peasant women farmers and recruiting them to my party.)
