  1. Aging, negativity, your prime or post prime... - your thoughts?

    The walls are closing in
    Goals and dreams in a fugue
    Of distant and skewed perspective
    The cross is heavier and my feet sink​
  2. Order Install

    Hi,

    can you explain better what you mean?
    You don't need to install Mount & Blade if you want to play Warband if that is your question. They are separate installations.

    You need to install Mount & Blade before installing any mod you may like. Notice that many mods work only for M&B others just for Warband.
  3. Best Faction To Join

    Honved 说:
    A few points to build on what wakko2k said back in 2011:

    Nords: strongest siege troops on offense, but can be overrun by a mounted army.  They take and lose a lot of castles.

    Vaegirs: most "well rounded" army, except for the lack of shields, and good archers to support a castle defense, but vulnerable to ranged fire in return.  They tend to lose to Nords but beat Swadians in sieges.

    Swadians: not only the Knights, but Men at Arms, Sergeants, and other high-tier are quite tough, but the lower tier troops are pretty weak.  If you can train them up to a high level, Swadians are devastating, but getting there is tougher.  Once they start to lose, and their best units are gone, they fall apart fast.

    Khergits: almost entirely mounted army, except for some of the bottom tier recruits.  With a bit of tactics, they can devastate almost any other army (besides Rhodoks) in the open field, but are weak on either end of a siege.

    Rhodoks: strong "middle tier" troops, including crossbowmen for ranged combat and spearmen to stop cavalry.  Very powerful on the defense in a siege, only moderately so on offense.  They tend to hold whatever they manage to take.
    Isn't it amazing how much longevity this game hss? Am still playing it from time to time even after all these years....

    The best faction is sarranid perfect at Cavalry and archers only have porblem with infantry
    Problem is, the Sarranids don't exist in M&B.
    And that is GOOD. -.-

    Personally I like to go with a mixed company and am not partial to any faction (well, i hate the Khergits of course).
    Recently it happened to me to free a large group of prisoners after a siege battle. Among the others there were 21 looters. My plan is to ride out and scourge the world with them. Calradia will tremble before us, I tell you!
  4. Medieval Bows of continental Western Europe

    Hi all! There are several sources and treaties about the English longbow. What am looking for though are information about the bows on the continent. My main interest is focused on Northern Italy but of course the whole area (France, Germany, Switzerland, Dalmatian coast) is relevant. I'm mainly...
  5. I have a confession to make

    Archonsod 说:
    If I were at all interested in your viewpoint on the rules, I would have asked.

    So rules say you can change anyone's post? Where?
    I suggest you to put it clearly in the forum rules so that people may know before subscribing.

    Also cancel the reference to Respect in the Forum rules because I see it is not required on this forum.

    Regards.
  6. I have a confession to make

    Hyperion 说:
    Besides.
    If they get the post changed, they deserved it.

    No. No one, including admin, should be allowed to change anyone's post.
    Everyone is responsible for what he writes, changing someone's post just confuses things.
    If a post or thread is considered totally inappropriate for the forum then should be deleted, not changed. And the poster be banned / reported to authorities / dismembered accordingly with forum rules.
    There could be a lot to be said about the sentence allegedly written by admin but I'd rather wait his reply for that, maybe explaining what he edited.




    P.S.  Dismembered would be nice in some cases though, wouldn't it?  :mrgreen:
  7. I have a confession to make

    Ringwraith #5 说:
    Oh excellent, Ilex.

    @Drake: Welcome to the forums. :lol:

    There are many clever / funny people on the forums, I appreciate them, have been here a while.
    Then there are people who come out with such comments which I don't care about at all but which are both disgusting and offensive to women.

    My question was to admin though, not to other users. I think he can speak for himself.
    Sidenote: I saw OP is spammin the forum with different names, I know how annoying it may be. Still no post should ever be edited other than the author. They can be deleted of course. As this whole thread can (and should) be.
  8. I have a confession to make

    You lost a nice chance to keep quiet. Reported.
  9. Does it matter what armour you wear while doing archery?

    Oskatat 说:
    well, in the historical discussions, people are often saying that armor didnt interfere with swordplay and gymnastics, so maybe it shouldnt factor in archery either?

    Well, I guess in gymnastics it does interfere  :grin:

    I wore chain mail and there is no hampering in using a bow.
    Maybe plate armor if prevents you from bending your draw arm completely.

    More issues would be from the helmet, preventing to reach the full draw point and gloves, you must feel the string pressure and they must allow you to release cleanly.

    Historically archers had no heavy armor because it was expensive and they were not supposed to fight in melee.
  10. I have a confession to make

    Archonsod 说:
    Well he did originally claim he was "the gay".

    So you altered his original post? Doesn't seem a correct behaviour to me.
    If a user violates forum rules should / could be banned and his post canceled if necessary.
    NOT altered. Never.
  11. Khergits?

    hruza 说:
    ...
    ddrake >> no, we all know they all are Turks from Ankara that just happen to speak English with player :smile: When at hard disk or loaded in memory they speak Turkic between them :smile:

    Really?  :???:
    Cheaty kebabish turkicy NPCs!

  12. Worth buying

    Well, if your are on a tight budget and like multiplayer games more than everything consider Warband is going to come out in a few months.
    Maybe you may want to buy just one?
    But then many great mods aren't probably goin to be ported in Warband.
  13. Deal with Looters quest: where are they?

    Of course high spotting helps too.
    Patrol in the area of the town but also getting more distant from it.
  14. Khergits?

    Don't get mad though  :lol:

    They are all English. It's obvious. They all speak English which is the official language of Calradia. Therefore they are English too. Some speak with a funny accent but so what?
    Just like some Dominican immigrant living in London. He becomes English too after a long enough stay.

    Even if his accent remains funny  :mrgreen:
  15. Most decisive battle you have been in?

    Decisive battle?
    In Lords and Realms:
    I had my own faction and defeated all factions but the Rhodocks. Therefore ALL the lords were in the Rhodocks faction.
    So when King Graveth decided to declare war on me he had a hell of an army. About 8,000 men with 40 lords or more with him. He started raiding and sieging around Ibdeles and Yalen.
    I was able to hunt down and cage some of the stray lords but the main force remained united around Graveth.
    On my side I had about 1,500 men. Top tier units. Divided them on 4 patrols 300 each (great feature of L & R). Was able to lure some more lords out and beat them but then they were sieging Ibdeles which i didn't want to lose.
    So went headfirst into battle. 1,500 of us against 6,500 stinking enemies.
    I never made it.  :sad:
    With a battlesize around 240 I would kill about 200 enemies or less for each battle. About 15 minutes for battle.
    It was clear I would need at least 33  :!: battles to defeat them (IF i could defeat them). Which meant 495 minutes  = 8h15' of gameplay.  :lol:
    Being an average man with a life outside computer games I ALT+F4ed out.

    Bottom line: developers should allow  the player to save the game whenever it is possible. I realize in mid battle it would need to store too many information, but at least between one battle and the other one SHOULD be allowed to save.
    I kept savegame before the battle but don't think i'll ever try to play that.


    Maybe when i'll have a more powerful computer I'll crank up battlesize to 800 and will try again.  King Graveth must die! :wink:

  16. Problem with my knights

    Do try the Hold fire (F5).

    I hate how at the beginning of every battle my army is bogged up in a total mess and starts charging. That is a mob, not an army!
    They should spawn in formations or in line. Still. Ready to listen to their beloved commander's commands.

    Ordering to hold ground immediately can be a problem with cavalry and big armies. Many horsemen may dismount.
    I generally give F5 immediately then use the map to set positions, with cavalry (if i have it) quite far from the rest.
    I have Battle size at 400 and are often with ~200 men so it can get messy  :grin:
  17. Assess the local prices

    Bodizephr 说:
    ...
    However my new character, basically a child of the stepp, keeps getting ambushed in the cities. 
    ...

    Cursed bullies are everywhere!  :mad:

    Seriously: better to avoid walking in towns / villages at night until you have somewhat levelled up.
  18. Useless ****ing drivel from a random wanker.

    I hope OP is a 10 year old. Or less.  :???:


    @FrisianDude: better not to relax the moderating way. The Fall of the Roman Empire started like that!  :mad:
  19. Assess the local prices

    Hi,
    I have no answer about where the information is stored.

    Prices change of course but more or less you will have a higher profit if you travel more.
    Routes I find more profitable:
    Spices from Tulga (~96) to Thir (800+)
    Velvet from Jelkala (~250) To Kuhdan and Rivacheg (~1000 max)
    Furs from Kuhdan and villages (~43) to Narra and Veluca (400+)

    If you have a lot of space in inventory (and little money) Pottery is also profitable: buy at around 16 around Narra and Halmar, sell at around 100 in Sargoth, Reyvadin, etc. A good 500% increase for your purse!

    I think it is shown in the FAQ what makes more revenue to buy / sell for each town.

    Or you can buy meat (or cattle) from a village (for as low as 11) and sell it in a near city (must be still fresh) for ~200. Nice uh?
    But only in the first weeks, then cattle will disappear from Calradia  :???:
    Or you can be a bad boy and accept the annoying cattle quest, slaughter some along the way and sell the fresh beef.
    Easy money.
  20. Problem with my knights

    Doesn't 'Hold fire' work? Should apply to cavalry with ranged weapons only though.
