    Overrated party skills?

    I want to start with Looting. My character has starting Looting of 4, yet shops run out of money.  Third town in a row.  I could be that my style is not perfectly suited to make the best use of this skill, because in the early game I focus on soloing.  No companions, no army, just me.  Still, I...

    Early game impressions.

    I'm new to PoP, but very experienced Native player.  I tried PoP before, but the early grind was putting me off.  Now it all seems much better. What was putting me off before, was that I couldn't find enemies my low level character could reasonably beat in sufficient numbers to get somewhere...

    Bootstraping (starting game).

    TL,DR - I don't know how to start the game.  No damage, no kills, no money, no equipment and no weapon profs. I'm an experienced Native player (well, I used to be an expert a few years back).  still I struggle to even get a start here, because I can't deal damage to my enemies.  I can't deal...

    Pure "native" run, and why it could be even faster.

    As people may remember, I am interested in very quick playthroughs.  This time I didn't go for straight racing, only a challenge run. The rules are as follows: 1.  I use 1.143 and Diplo 4.2, but I try to play "Native". 2.  I said no to all Diplo. NPCs.  3.  I use Native recruitment only. 4.  I...

    Game breaking problems and how to avoid them.

    I'm trying to have a real game, where I take over the map if possible.  I just want to be aware of various pitfalls before I invest 100 hours into the game and break my monitor.  It's an expensive one... Anyway, that's what I found by searching the forum and some early testing: 1.  War with...

    Winning with a faction quickly.

    So I decided to win with a faction as quickly as I can.  I used to do that sort of thing some time ago and my best time is 162 days.  But that was my own kingdom, now I don't expect that my time will be anything as good. I'm playing 1.143 with Dip. 4.2, so politics is not FUBAR, only SNAFU, but...

    Early castle powergaming tutorial.

    Just what I tend to do in my games. It works, but other approaches can work too. Well, you get your starting army of maybe 50 guys and you want to take a castle.  The usual advice is to retake something which changes hands often, but just think about it.  If it changes hands often, it will be...

    Thinking about a no-companions run with realistic saves. (Just thinking!)

    So I am the guy who managed to take over Calradia in 162 days (http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,289920.0.html) and now I'm thinking about one more speed challenge. My former playthrough allowed for quitting without saving, which allows for quite a few cheap strategies when fighting...

    Is there a way?

    So we are storming the keep and the defenders consist of two Sergeants, two Sharpshooters and three Veteran Spearmen.  As far as I can say, this combination is near invincible... Sergeants have a short weapon, so they get in close, while Spearmen have a polearm so they keep their distance. ...

    About battle size.

    I'm going from siege to siege all the time, and I stumble quite often on situation where it seems obvious that developers designed the maps with reinforcements in mind.  You break through, but you still have to go through a shooting gallery of sorts.  Enemy AI is written in such a way, that...

    Real speed run this time. (Finished - 162 days)

    So I started again, since I don't feel burned out at all.  This time I thought a bit more about my starting character but I think I might still have made a mistake.  If I sacrificed a Student for something else which gives Riding +1, I might have managed without AGI 12, but I didn't.  I went for...

    OMG! - Grunwalder Castle...

    So I finally took it.  I spent about 5 hours trying various approaches, and it was harder this time around than any other.  Normally they have plenty of crossbowmen there, but not SO MANY.  About 2/3 of the garrison were crossbowmen, mostly Veterans, with about 25 Sharpshooters and some Trained...

    That wasn't all that hard. (strategy for Almerra Castle).

    Almerra used to be a nuisance for me.  I usually take it quick enough, but with heavy losses, and even if not I still simply brute force it, which is not satisfactory for me.  But now I found a decent strategy for a crossbowman character. 1.  Move all your forces to the left side of the map...

    Man, that was hard! (strategy for Harringoth Castle).

    Harringoth Castle belonged to Khergits, but was defended by Rhodok troops.  About 30 Sergeants, about 30 Sharpshooters, lots of Veteran Crossbowmen and Spearmed.  Very few low level troops, about 260 total, including Lord and his army. I made an alternate save where I tried various strategies...

    Cheap strategy for cheap victories.

    I took well defended Hrus Castle with this while suffering only 2 dead 22 wounded.  Last time I remember it took me 2 reloads of top infantry to take it with huge losses, so it definitely works. 1. Dispach of archers. 2. Send all your people behind the left side of the wall. 3. AI will try to...

    Jeremus got a Mamluke!

    There was this last stage of a battle against one single unit.  I didn't bother stopping my healers, and Jeremus got him all right. Base combat stats. not a single point invested in anything.  Suddenly he grown twice taller than before, he went around the camp and told the story to anyone...

    Thoughts on a quick game.

    I used to play warband way too much just enough, and after a while, as we all know this game becomes less interesting, so of course most experienced players search for some new challenges.  There are many ways to achieve it, but the one I keep on coming towards is to finish the game in as little...

    Caveat - 1.153 + Diplo. 4.3 still broken.

    I'm freaking pissed! I had a good run, by day 110 I finished off Saranids, but I already found three lords with no army raiding my villages.  Why nobody told me this bug is still alive?  I read forums. So at least I'm telling you all.  If you want to play Warband Singleplayer downgrade to...

    A bug.

    I think I triggered a bug in Native 1.143 or Diplomacy 4.2.  I took two cities and one castle in quick succession while requesting all of them to be awarded to me.  Praven was given to Imirza Noyan, and I didn't have the option for rebellion.  Also, I can't add troops to Uxhal garrison since it...

    Reload time.

    I am sieging Dramug Castle.  During the assault we kill 115 of them (plus some wounded), while losing 4 or 5 dead plus 20 wounded (IIRC).  So we storm the keep.  I spawn at the stairs while my troops spawn in the middle of the fight (cheating!).  Before I get there, all of my troops are downed...
