Dont try the Pom server, as some recommended. I tend to think theres more newbs there than most servers, or the 100% friendly FF tends to make people look like newbs....ATS is good.
Also another thing I hate about reflective: people on your team that get in your way, and have no idea about spacing and positioning. They jump in front of your swing and you get killed...completely sucks.
I like FF 100% no reflective because its the most realistic. Also it helps when you are outnumbered and need to fight multiple targets, they cant just flail on you. Putting ff reflective is just encouraging flailers and doesnt help them get better at not flailing. People need to use more teamwork, thrust and overheads less mindless spammers. You can alway voteban the people that tk too much.
Just wanted to say that the scenery is great in this mod, I love the new terrains. Also the sounds are good as well the chainmail when your walking around is nice and the weapon sounds etc.
If you get Nord Huscarl/rhodok sergeants in the mountains, they tear cav up. Its all about where your fighting. If you use good formations in open field you can do alright with rhodoks, using the spearmen in front of xbows and having them stand close, the cav AI gets stuck alot.
One time in battle I shot down a horse right as an enemy was trying to mount it. Just looked real funny, the mounting animation as the horse went down.
Give them about 2 weeks tops then they will be onto the next game to annoy. They all have A.D.D. so it's just a matter of patience. They will break. Dont ever respond to them.
I am mostly angered by the new couched lance system. The bloody timer is too short and the cooldown is too long. Being able to aim is cool, but very few polearms can now be couched and there is no message saying if they can or not, meaning tis trial and error untill you find one (which is bad for those that use autosave and are S.O.L. if they get the wrong item). A message saying that it can be couched would be a BIG help.
Also the abilty to slash both ways when on horseback helps, but a LOT of times while trying to attack it swings the wrong way even when I move the mouse the right way.
I am getting a 404 file not found when it tries to update to latest version in multiplayer. There is no update section visible on taleworlds site, am I missing something? There are servers running 1011 and I get on those fine. Is this patch being redone or where can I find it? Thanks in advance.
