I began receiving troops after the 3rd battle and 20th battle. Note when the troops die they don't come back alive. And the lord doesn't give you troops in any fancy way you simply find it one day when you go into battle lolol. And if they die you lose the troop so you gotta guard/work with them well.

Are you sure they were your troops? If your lord moves in to help non-lord armies (like patrols) you will get command of those units during that battle, but afterwards they go on their separate way.

Title: Prisoners of War
Objective: A scout has delivered news of a small group of enemy soldiers escorting prisoners of war closeby. Your Lord is dispatching you and a handful of men to intercept the soldiers, with the hopes of freeing their captives.
Reward for success: Increase in relation with your Lord, small increase in relation with your Lord's faction, small XP and monetary reward, your Lord's army increases.
Consequence for failure: Loss of relation with your Lord, chance of being captured.

You'd immediately enter a battlefield with a couple other soldiers against an enemy force who has troops of your Lord's nation as prisoners. If you win, those prisoners would be added to the Lord's army, helping to keep your Lord out on the field longer.

Out of curiosity, does your involvement in tournaments factor into your promotions if you participate in them while in a lord's service?

If so, could the instances of quick rank ascension be attributed to the player participating in tournaments, especially the multiple tournaments during feasts?

damn thats alot what do you consider top tier though?  In my last game it was about day 600 and i had 100 dragon knights, 100 rangers, and 75 kierguards with assorted other top tier troops in my one castle.

Hero adventurers, Knights of the Dragon, Knights of the Radiant Cross, Ravenstern Rangers & Kiersguards, Huscarls, Legionnaires, etc.  I just mean troops brought to their top upgrade.

Each castle has at least 400 troops, and each town has at least 600. Those seem to be the magic numbers to discourage attacks. Whenever I drop below 400 troops in a castle one of Ravenstern's enemy countries marches a 2000+ army to it and I have to fight back 2-3 waves before they break off the siege.

ManOfHonor 说:

Just rebel already, jeez. With that many top tier units you ought to be able to steamroll a faction Pendor fairly easily within 200 days (darn siege towers).

Lol, I've been trying! But the king keeps giving me everything when I ask for it, even if I've "denied an honor" recently.

I've got high relations with the majority of the Ravenstern lords so they support me for fiefs and for marshall, and over 5000 renown. It's taking me a long time to rebel but when I get the chance it will be like a revolution across Pendor

On the subject of Sarleon though, they actually took back Talon Castle in my game. A first for them. It seems they do take back locations afterall.

Of course it was besieged and lost right after they'd recovered it, but that's beside the point...

krisslanza 说:

Then again, I just worry a lot. It's a side-effect of playing on "Realistic". Taking a gamble is painful when you can't reload...

点击展开...

While it would kindof defeat the point of Realistic Mode if you're playing on it for a challenge rather than for autosave, if something goes wrong you could always ALT+F4 before autosave occurs.

This was a problem in my first game too.

I was a lord in the Kingdom of Sarleon, and Sarleon would be constantly sieging one place or another, or trying to get back locations that had been taken.

Unfortunately, they'd always abandon those sieges whenever someone began raiding a village. They never expanded because of it. The only castles they took were the ones I led the charge on.

In my newer game I'm a lord in Ravenstern over day 600. Sarleon has lost a number of it's castles, but it's still holding onto it's towns.

They'll lose them all shortly though, because I'm waiting for my chance to rebel and conquer everywhere Ravenstern's expansion has resulted in everyone else attacking them, and so they haven't done a single siege for around 200 days. They've been playing defense that long. I've used that time to stockpile over 3,500 high tier troops in my 2 towns 4 castles. Once I rebel I've got the relation to take most of the Ravenstern lords with me, as well as the Sarleon and Empire ones. Mwa ha ha haaa!

When I fought the Veccavia army (Daughters of Persinoe) I was surprised at how easily they were defeated. At the time of the battle I had a ton of archers, and they utterly decimated the Veccavians. The horses were all taken out before they ever got to my lines, and as their troops charged on foot their morale blew out and they started routing.

I don't think they'd make for a very effective army. The Jatu would probably be the better cavalry charge.

I've actually had a heartbeat quest to hire Mettenheim troops though, so you can get them if you wait for it. Granted I'm over day 600 and I've only gotten them once, but they're worth the wait. You can sometimes pick them up around Windholm after they send expeditionary forces. I managed to snag 25-30 of them by defeating a heretic group that had them as prisoners.

krisslanza 说:

Any real tips to try and get Heroine Adventurers? I mean... it seems to take forever to get enough EXP on a Maiden Cavalry to even promote them to a Maiden Adventurer. I don't think I've ever had a Maiden Adventurer live long enough to promote to Heroine Adventurer.

点击展开...

Every so often I end up with a Heroine Adventurer or two.

Just have a high Trainer skill, and run with a lot of Peasant Women. They level up fairly quickly, at least to the Cavalry rank. Then it's just a waiting game.

Eventually some will make it to the top, so long as you keep them out of sieges. If you attack a castle with them you can expect to lose a lot of them.

The troop type I can't seem to get are Scorpion Assassins. I've had Jatu Battle Riders, tons of Hero Adventurers, a good number of Heroine Adventurers, but never a single Scorpion Assassin.

Tola 说:

I'm experiencing a similar problem though mine is only the battle issue. After the first 5-30 seconds of a battle it will "freeze" bouncing back and forth between the last two frames. I've tried both Treebeard's resource patch and the ram change that nierra posted, neither have fixed it. Ricox did you manage to get yours to work?

I was frequently having that battle stutter problem. I'm also well above hardware specs, but I lowered some graphics options (shadows mainly), the resolution, and lowered the battle size to 130.

The battle stutter happens much less frequently now.

A warning though, frequent battle stutter may be a precursor to another problem that develops as the game progresses, which is crashing upon attempting to save.

Starting around day 300, when I would try to save immediately after battles, I would almost always crash as soon as I clicked "Save" or "Save As..." The best way to avoid this seems to be allowing some time to pass after battles before saving, and saving inside a castle or city (like castle hall or a tavern). I don't know why it happens, but I have my suspicions it could be related to wounded troops in your party. I tend to have no problems saving when my party is at full health. No idea if that's what it actually is though.

With my own kingdom I've got 4 castles and a city for myself, all garrisoned with 200-400 men each. My current troop wages are a little under 50K per week, which through investments and taxes gets knocked down to ~11K. You can easily make more than that just by doing a trade run or two, or by taking on the larger roaming parties and selling loot/prisoners.

So that gives you an idea of how much you should aim to be pulling in a week. I had around 200K when I split.

I know you were advised earlier against joining a faction as a vassal, but I would encourage it. You don't have to follow the marshall. So long as you report in to the initial summons, you can go off and do your own thing afterward. Being in a faction will give you more chances to take on other lords, allowing you to get easy honor/faction (by letting them go) or cash (through ransom). I'd recommend letting them go until you have your own kingdom and it becomes your own lands they threaten.

Eventually you'll be offered the marshall position, and you should take it. You can use that faction's other lords to help you establish your own kingdom by capturing and requesting a castle or city. If you're granted the castle/city, than great. Use it as a source of revenue, and start stockpiling troops. Keep taking castles/cities and always request they are given to you. Eventually you wont get one, at which point you can rebel and keep all your other lands that the other lords helped you get.

You'll start your kingdom with a good build up of troops, a source of revenue from the castles, and once you are engaged in a war with another kingdom, you'll have spare villages to grant to any lords who you convert to your side which will let them field larger armies.

As a side note, when you're in a faction as marshall, you should attack lands close together so that when you split off, your lands are easily defensible. You don't want to be a new king without support and having to travel across the map to defend different locations.

Lord Stephan.

In my current game, he's running around with a 1400 man army. Even if I wanted to go up against him, I'd never be able to get through all the 'battle rounds' without crashing.

Another one of his fellow Ravenstern Lords has an army of over 500 men. Those two, augmented by the rest of the Lords, have been steamrolling Sarleon with over 2500 men. They took Falcondark Castle, Avendor and Marleons one after the other in a blitz across the lands, and show no sign of stopping.

If Ravenstern declares war on my kingdom, my only hope will be to either convert him (I have high relation with him), or to break his army on one of my castles, but that will be one hell of a fight. Now I'm real glad I took Oregar from the Empire (Grunwalder).

edit: Alexis also has over 1000 troops, and I came across another Ravenstern Lord with over 600 troops, and another with over 700. I think someones been Jatu warband hunting!

I don't know about the item editor, but the troop editor works with Warband.

Looking at Sanjar Khan's details right now. It looks like he's wearing itm_khergit_guard_armor (#572 in item list).

I've not heard of items like that ever dropping from a lord. I have very rarely gotten a very good piece of armor from lord battles, but I can't recall from any case if it was what the lord was wearing or not.

What you could do is use the troop editor to edit one of the companion inventories so that they're wearing it. That way when you can add that companion to your party you could just take it off of them.

I believe that alterations in the troop editor would only affect companions who you have not yet picked up though. If I'm remembering correctly it only affects the default NPC status. I also can't comment on whether or not it would require a new game to see the change, or if it would work in a current game so long as you haven't added that particular companion to your party yet.

If you visit a tavern, the tavernkeeper of that faction can direct you to lords which have important tasks.

Quests like freeing imprisoned relatives, inciting war, etc.

Also, freeing lords on your own if you see them imprisoned in a castle/town will net you a large faction gain with them. You can start a prison break without any quest. You just have to confront the prison guard and tell him to give you the cell keys.

When I was with the Swadians he rarely left the Praven area. He'd host his feasts or patrol around Praven while the rest of us expanded his kingdom.

I didn't mind too much since I had high faction with him though (50's) and relatively low controversy, so he gave me whatever I wanted. Had as my fiefs 2 castles, 7 villages, and 1 town.

I think Praven is just too far from most areas the action is taking place, and since he has a 250+ troop army, he moves too slow to warrant the trip. The fight would be over by the time he made it there, not to mention it would take him too long to get back to defend.

If it's just Arwa's or Isolla's appearance you're after, you could load the game in Edit Mode (click Configure from the launch window). Using Edit Mode you can edit the faces of your party members, the various kings, lords, claimants, and ladies.

Once ingame just hit 'C' to load up your character sheet, then use the back/next buttons to find the Lady you want to edit. Click on her picture and it will take you to the appearance editor. Make your changes, save the game, then close down and disable Edit Mode.

You could use the Troop Editor program (run a forum search to locate the download link) to edit the inventory of the other lords and/or troops so that they're wearing plate.

Yeah I've definitely been noticing this. If you click short distances it will work, but if you click somewhere far off you'll end up taking a wonky route.

Handel 说:

It is not only the world map; the 1.111 patch killed the game for the bandit's lairs - all the warriors from the squad are non-stop stuck.

点击展开...

If you order them to follow you they'll become unstuck. But if you tell them to charge they will become stuck again, so you're best off just having them on follow in bandit lairs.

Though it would be cool, I don't think it's possible. The claimants are treated as monarchs, which are off limits for marriage.

paladir 说:

I know that they would already be at war with you, but if your right to rule is high enough can't you have a peace agreement?

点击展开...

You can get a peace agreement, but it will depend on whether or not that faction is willing to give you one.

In an earlier game I had taken a town from the Swadians in order to start my own kingdom (town of Shariz). Within 2 days of taking the town from them, the Swadians offered me a peace treaty. I didn't have to fight a single one of their lords, and they never attacked me.

The Swadians were at war with 2 other factions at the time, I had a high faction with their king and most of their lords, and my right to rule was in the 40's with over 1500renown. I think all of that contributed to having the peace agreement.

In contrast, in my most recent game I took Sargoth from the Nords. I had insignifant faction with the king and the lords, 0 right to rule, ~500 renown, and the Nords were only at war with the Swadians.

The day after I took Sargoth they made peace with the Swadians and turned their attention on me in full. They refused to make peace because of my low right to rule, even though I had captured 7 of their lords and was completely hammering them in the conflict.

So it is possible to make peace and it does have a good amount to do with your right to rule, but I don't think that's the only factor that comes into play.
