Excellent tips and nice route too.

I'd add that don't sell to towns, or only sell some because price drops so fast in towns.
Sell to the villages and the caravans when possible, because the prices barely drop there.
Villages only have 1000, but caravans often have 10-20k.

Oh, and buy horses, buy all the horses (while in Aserai desert, there's great villages to pick horses for cheap), pack horses/mules to carry stuff and normal horses to carry the army too. If going all out on trading, keep buying those horses. Cargo capacity at least 15k to start with.

To exploit the dynamic economy a bit, you can also drive the sell price up by buying the town empty of something you want to sell - if they only have a few furs for example, buying them and then selling to the caravans near that city will net big profits (higher price + sell price barely drops w/ caravans).

It's not a rant to ask why there hasn't been any news and I am quite calm It's just that I hope all the best for TaleWorlds, the Mount & Blade franchise, and in the long run, they're losing to other developers who keep fans and media informed.

And as far as Bannerlord having its own board - not in the current state, because there is nothing to discuss. But what if there'd be monthly dev diaries showing stuff, posts from the devs what's happening, etc. Not gonna happen, but man can dream.

The Bannerlord announcement video description should've not had the "More details about Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord will be released in the coming months." in it, if there won't be more details.

But with all that said, we continue waiting. Patiently.

Sir Arvondor 说:

Why don't you try posting all that in the Bannerlord thread instead?

点击展开...

Because no-one has seen anything, there's nothing to discuss, that thread is just filled with non-sense. The fact that Bannerlord doesn't have it's own board, but just a sticky thread under Warband tells the whole story.

When someone (excitedly) comes to me and tells me that M&B 2 will be released on September (2013), because the last news we have is dated to September on the front page, I think my first post has been validated, so it's time to resurrect this one

With that said, why can't we (STILL) hear or see anything? Absolutely no news after announcement of the game name.

In all honesty, and I say this with nothing but care for them, TaleWorlds is lucky that M&B has relatively loyal following and through word of mouth they gain new gamers, because on their own, not much would happen. We, or well, I miss the M&B alpha days. Forum updates, new versions, development.

I said it in the first post, I say it again, please, just tell/show us whatever you have. Something. One screenshot, one tweet, anything. Make that weekly/monthly and you'll do 1000% better than now.

Creative Assembly is not making a new engine from the ground up. They are tweaking/updating their current engine.

Firstly, Creative Assembly and R2TW was just an example on how to communicate with fans. Other developers are doing this too, developer blog and active website is more common than not. And it's working. I made this post because I love M&B, I love TaleWorlds and I'd love to hear what they're up to. I'd love them to do well.

The M&B 2 announcement video (description) says "More details about Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord will be released in the coming months."

It's been 5. In all honesty, without that "coming months" I would've not even made this post. I thought they'd really be telling us something soon after the video.

Video says "Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord will build upon the popular Mount & Blade franchise bringing in many exciting and highly requested new features."

What features are being worked on now? That tells me they have a plan/design/goals, like Duh said...

Duh 说:

Doesnt explain the utter silence. They have concept, game design, goals, progress and other things, which they can touch upon without needing any screenshots.

@Zemalf, there is a Bannerlord thread with some infos in the Guildhall section of this forum. http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,249537.0.html

Right on. Found it. Mount & Blade 2 Alpha footage

The video gave me way more than what I got from the current info thread

hirovard 说:

tell me this, would you rather they wasted their time (and resources) making pretty things for you to look at before the game is released, constantly making posts about it etc, or would you rather they dedicated their time (and resources) to making a exceptionally good game?
I'd vote they make a damn good game rather than making lots of pretty pictures.

点击展开...

I'm not expecting anything pretty. I'd love to see/hear something!

But when the official discussion thread only says "It has been announced! Nothing but a teaser trailer for the moment" after five months, that's not how game developers work these days.

One word would be enough. Anything.

There's tons of suggestions already in https://tricider.com/en/brainstorming/TPYL - how about commenting about those if they know it's in the game or they're working on it, trying to put it in game. Nothing definite, but their goals.

Developer blog. One post, or heck, one tweet a week about M&B 2.
Time invested in this communication: 30 seconds
Time away from development: Minimal (or None)
Impact on fans: HUGE.

Mods 说:

I completely agree that the most fun way to play this game is without ever reloading, you showed reloading isn't needed to win anyway.

点击展开...

Aye. I used to play games with save/try/reload technique. Only goal was to finish (as fast as possible).

Then I realized it's the journey I enjoy the most, and not reloading makes decisions, wins and losses a lot more meaningful. I started playing with slower pace and I'm enjoying games even more than before.

E.g. in M&B getting caught as prisoner = quite a big deal, lose army, possibly lose companions. If all you need is reload to counter that, what's the point?

Violet's Tale has ended. From start to finish 180 hours, 194 videos.

Kingdom of Calradia has defeated all rivals and stands as the sole kingdom.

Violet retires from adventuring to rule her Empire of Calradia. Long live Empress Violet!

Last video:
E194: Calradia Conquered (The End)

Complete playlist:

I played and recorded this let's play over a year in real-life, a bit over 5-years in-game for Violet, but it's nearly over now.

Violet's Tale is very close to it's end, and when it ends, with over 180 hours of Warband on the playlist - by far the longest on YouTube - Violet controls the whole Calradia.

When I started, I didn't believe the videos would even get hundred views, I was making them for fun, thinking that if there's one viewer who enjoys them it'll be worth it, because I was having fun playing and making the vids anyway.

Never ever did I think the vids on the playlist would gain 10000+ views and at least ~500 M&B fans following the journey regularly as new videos came out and many others joining along the way to check a video or two.

Crazy stuff, as was deciding to conquer whole Calradia I knew it would take some time, but 180 hours was a bit more than I expected

Anyway, thanks everyone for the support here, on YouTube and just for playing the best mounted combat game ever created.

The video itself: Awesome!

Slowly but steadily, Violet has lead Kingdom of Calradia into controlling about one third of the land. The Khergits are still around, but have no castles or towns. Swadians and Vaegirs are but a distant memory now.

Both the Rhodoks and the Sarranids have been hammering Halmar ever since Violet captured it, but so far, the defenses have held up.

With the Nords joining the war against the Rhodoks, an opportunity to assault Dhirim is better than ever. With Dhirim, Violet would get a strong foothold in the middle of the land, which would help her greatly in the future campaigns against all remaining factions.

Click here to watch let's play M&B: Warband - Episode 134

In part 134, Violet besieges Senuzgda Castle. Violet lures Count Grainwad, the lord of Dhirim, out of the town and attacks his big army on the fields. Her plans to take Dhirim are cancelled by the Sarranids who besiege Halmar again. And to make the matters worse, the Rhodoks take an advantage of Violet's attention divided to two fronts. After all the action, Violet prepares to besiege Dhirim.

You cannot become the queen of the Rhodoks, but you can become a queen of your own kingdom.

You have couple of choices:

Keep playing as a vassal of the Rhodoks.

Find the claimant, Lord Kastor of Veluca, and help him to become a king of the Rhodoks.

Convince the husband that he should be king and rebel to start your own kingdom (you'll still have all control, even that the husband is "king"). Not sure, but there might also be an option to convince husband that you should be queen and he should support, but the own kingdom is run the same way anyway.

Wait until the king doesn't give you a fief (castle/town) you captured and asked for yourself, and then rebel. Husband will join the new kingdom as soon as you ask.

Yes, it's gameplay with commentary.

I will definitely check this out when I have the time, I am really tired of watching 12 parts of a Let's Play and then seeing that there are no more videos it really grinds my gears.

点击展开...

Well watch any video after 24 and you end up with those twelve episodes.

点击展开...

I'm guessing, but I think what bonez899 meant is that, watching a video after episode 24 equals 12 videos because they are so long From episode 24 onward the videos are long: up to two hours, but mostly between 45 and 90 minutes. Lately I've been staying with one hour.

And yeah, I've watched my share of Warband, and other let's plays, which end suddenly after a while. This series will go all the way, which will take a while

bonez899 说:

Zemalf I found you series before this topic came up but unforetunatly I do not have the time to spare to watch all the episodes to catch up let alone the 2-3 hours of videos you upload at a time.

点击展开...

I understand - That's the problem with really long series like this, but luckily the playlist and videos stay there "forever", so you can move at your own pace.

But I don't really upload 2-3 hours at a time, I don't know why you think that, because I usually upload 3-4 hourly videos per week and 1 video at the time.

In total this is about the same as 2 daily 15 minute videos which is a bit more than most gamers do, but I think it's a good compromise between enough and too much.

Some weeks I need to upload several videos at one time cos I want regular viewers to have something to watch if I'm unable to upload something for a week.

Anyway, thanks guys for the comments and questions

Quick update:

Right now Violet's Tale is at episode 115:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKqUSEtIQFE

Violet's kingdom keeps growing. She now controls Khudan, Ichamur and Narra, and more will come as the wars against the Khergits and the Sarranids continue. Vaegirs and Swadians are more, but Nords and Rhodoks are a big threat, and Sarranids and Khergits are still very much alive, so she has a lot of work to do before she controls Calradia.

Find the videos here: http://goo.gl/kp6c5 (the playlist)

Aye, just attack a caravan or villages and you'll go to negative and can then raid villages or siege towns / castles.

As a side note, you could've stayed as vassal, get castles or even towns given to you, build some troops and then rebel when the king doesn't give you something - you'd keep all castles/towns you have then.

By starting the kingdom as mercenary without any assets is amazingly difficult - you'll know what I mean when 1500-2000 soldiers come knocking the gates of your newly captured castle/town - and before that happens you have to capture the place to start with.
