Get an idea and use it repeatedly until you just know your sequence.

Thanks, but I have to limit the time I can play a game like this (a game where I have to sit upright at the computer). Indeed, I haven't played at all for the past week, after my back went out. And I've typically got lots of other games I'm playing, as well.

So, yes, that's what I did in the original Mount & Blade (as I say, it was easier then), but nearly every game has keys I need to remember, and unless I play a lot of the same game - and keep playing it constantly, which is not going to happen - it's not going to become automatic.

I appreciate the reply, but I don't know how to knit, either. Heh, heh. Seriously, learning is fun, but I don't get self-satisfaction from playing a game really well. I learn in other ways. Games are just for fun.

Yes, I would like that, too. Is there even a way to set a starting formation, so that my troops can at least start the battle in a reasonable way?

Alternately - or additionally - it would be great to have the option to pause combat when we open up the F1 battle menu. As it is, the battle is often over before I've even figured out the menu.

That's ridiculous, since in real-life, I'd have no problem just yelling out what I wanted my troops to do. And, of course, I'd have taught them what formation to use at the start of a battle, too. (On the other hand, I'd actually die in real-life, and I don't want the game that realistic. Heh, heh.)

I play lots of different games, and remembering the complicate key-presses required of each of them is beyond my abilities!

having a tactical pause option would be good so slower players and give orders and organize without getting killed or enemies getting closer to the player

Yes, I would love that! Just as an option for players like me, of course. You wouldn't have to use it.

But typically, the battle is over before I finish fiddling with the F1 menu, trying to figure out how to give orders. This is much worse than in the previous games, where enemies started further away from my army and the tactical menu wasn't so confusing, anyway.

This is hard to learn while the action is continuing all around me, and even if I do figure it out, I'm never going to learn it well enough to remember it on a later play of the game. And it's not at all realistic, since if I could just yell out what I wanted my guys to do (or give them initial orders ahead of time), as I would in reality, that would be easy.

AutoBlocker

AutoBlocker allows players to choose from a variety of block styles for both their weapon and shield.

Thanks! I'll check that out.

Now, I don't suppose there's a mod which will pause combat when I open the F1 orders menu, is there?

I'm struggling to figure out how to give orders to my troops before the battle is already over. It's not at all intuitive to me. It's worse than in the previous games. And if I do figure it out, I'm not going to play it enough to remember it the next time I play it.

Other than the combat, I've been enjoying the game. Admittedly, I haven't been doing anything but traveling around, exploring.

The people that are trying to give advice on how to get better are missing the entire point of the thread, Jesus Christ. It's almost like they didn't even read the OP.

Yes, I agree. But I appreciate the replies, nonetheless.

And yes, I also know I could just play as a commander. I could do that in Warband, too, but it wasn't fun. The original game was fun because of the combat, even when I was terrible at it.

If this is even harder than Warband, then forget it. I'll just play something else instead. Maybe I'll wait for mods and try it when the game gets super-cheap.

It's just that watching videos of this make me remember how much fun the original game was. But that one stopped working for me when I upgraded to Windows 10 (and I've got it on two different platforms, plus my original purchase directly from Taleworlds).

Thanks again for the replies, everyone.

Another option is Gog.com ... Good Old Games.  They have a steam-free download that works (I've just tested)...

点击展开...

Thanks, Jon. As it turns out, I've already got it at GOG.com (they were giving it away as a free promotion one time). I'd forgotten that. But it's good to know that version works.

I won't try it immediately, since I've got too many games to play, already. Fallout 4 has been incredible, and I stumbled across Eador: Genesis (at GOG.com, though it's on sale at Steam right now for only $1.19) that's a little gem.

Even retirement doesn't give me enough time to play everything, though I'm giving it a good try.

Joel muth 说:

all you need is your activation serial number! this is the copy that i downloaded directly from taleworlds.

点击展开...

That did not work for me. And yes, it was the serial number I received with the game I bought directly from Taleworlds in 2008.

Congratulations, bossmob. But I don't have a CD. I bought it in 2008 as a download, direct from TaleWorlds, and that's where I downloaded it from the last time I installed it, too. (I still have the serial number.)

Oh, well, I've uninstalled the game now. And I just bought Fallout 4, so that will keep me busy enough for awhile. But if they have a particularly good sale at Steam sometime, I might pick it up, just in case.

Have fun.

Sorry, I don't have an answer. I uninstalled the game, myself.

Note that I, too, would like to see a Mount & Blade mod for Warband, since the latter game was a complete waste of money for me. But I doubt if that's possible.

Because of Warband, I'll be very careful at buying anything else from Taleworlds, but... you win some and you lose some. And I certainly got my money's worth from the original Mount & Blade. That was a great game, and I played it for years (without every getting much better at it - heh, heh). So I really can't complain.

Nope. Same problem here. (And there's another post on this board where others are also having this problem.)

Yeah, same problem here.

I can't play Warband, with the changes they made to the fighting. That was a waste of money right from the start. But I still play the original game occasionally. As bad as I am with it, it's still lots of fun.

But it won't run at all now, not since I upgraded to Windows 10. It shows up as a background process in Task Manager, but that's all.

QuailLover 说:

I thought there was an option in the menu to change how the lance is controlled.

点击展开...

Not unless it's from a new patch or something. Admittedly, it's been awhile since I tried to play Warband.

The lance jumps unpredictably from one side of the horse to the other, even when I don't even touch the mouse but just ride straight ahead. And in tournaments, a lance went from being the best weapon to completely useless (at least, for me). I need the full length of the arena just to get a lance to lower. (Of course, my enemies don't conveniently wait for me, but move into the middle where I can't harm them at all.)

It's not just the lance. They seem to have made mounted combat harder in general - less reach or something. And since I was terrible at it in the first place, that's not anything I needed. I often used a sword, when it didn't really matter if I hit anything. But a lance was always so much fun.

Now, I understand that most players probably wanted a harder game. I don't have any problem with that, just that they didn't leave the easier way of fighting for people like me. This game used to be FUN. Now, it's just frustrating.

Of course, I'm much older than most gamers. I didn't grow up with video games, and I'm hopelessly inept at pretty much anything that isn't turn-based. But as I say, Mount&Blade was fun!  I played it for years, starting while it was still in beta. I was always very, very bad at it, but at the easiest difficulty, I could still play it. More importantly, I could still have fun with it. That's why Warband was so terribly disappointing.

Well, that's the way it goes. I've got other games I can play. I just hadn't looked into Warband mods (or Mount&Blade mods, for that matter), so I thought there might be a chance... But not a very good chance, I knew. Maybe in a few more years I'll get senile enough that the original Mount&Blade will seem new again. 

Thanks for the reply.
