The only problem is, at 5 a pack, you run out way too quickly.  But being able to carry a maximum of 20 throwing axes is, IMO, quite realistic.

I'm not sure how much a throwing axe weighs but I doubt you could carry 20 of them. Especially as you need quite a bit of momentum to pierce the heavy armor found in the game.

I'd say crossbows are more of a sidearm whereas drawn bows are more of a weapon, if not your primary weapon.

I've found throwing weapons to be pretty useless honestly. Low ammo, low range and decent damage where I could just ride over and whack them. Companions make a mess of them too. Throw away their entire cache from 50m away and end up hitting nothing.

Where I will give them due credit (and it's really due) is with Huscarls. They will decimate an entire front row of oncoming infantry right before they break against the line.

I intentionally lost to a drunk once just to see, it says something about the patrons picking you up off the floor and you barely surviving... I forget what exactly.

Must be pretty sober to crack down a player like that. IRL the worst he could do is puke on you.

I might try the bow on my next playthrough though. Getting slightly bored of this one, and I've played as one of the characters in the practice battles and the bow does shoot damn fast.

But you're firing more than twice as fast with a MW short bow, with the same damage. I think that makes it superior, despite the fact you need an additional 3 strength, and 5 points to invest in PD.

I see your point, but the truth is, when I started off my character, I got a crossbow. Just sort of.. stuck.

Okay thanks for clearing that up. Never wanted to risk it, that's why.

On the topic of permanency, what happens if you lose a battle with a bandit ambush (in a village or town) or with the belligerent drunk?

Ruben Thomas 说:

Ok thank you so much for answering all three of you

I'm gonna' trust you guys and stick with this savegame then

Very little in the game changes permanently. The only irreversible changes I know of are when a faction is destroyed, a lord leaves and when someone is married.

Personally I prefer crossbows to bows, for almost all situations. I aim for roughly 12-13 strength anyways, just to accommodate the massive 2h weapons I use.

Thanks to the latest patch (which now includes more light/hunting crossbow types) I can use the Masterwork Light Crossbow on horseback. With a decent crossbow skill I can reload on horseback (while moving) almost as fast as an amateur drawn bow, and aim with decent accuracy and penetration.

I don't need to work up to 30 strength just to max out my long range damage, I can spend those points on charisma or intelligence and field a large army. Also, the crossbow can store a single bolt for quick draw firing, not to mention that you can hold the shot for as long as you want.

During sieges the siege crossbow just sweeps the floor. Stand back with all my archers and wreak havoc on the walls. By the time I'm done (3-4 siege attempts) half the garrison is wiped out and there are no archers harassing me when I go over the walls.

Don't worry about that. It's a common bug I've seen numerous times. Doesn't affect gameplay, unless you see it in the fief giving menu.

As for the marriage feast, you have to attend any feast that is part of your faction. You should get a note about some lord.. blah blah.. inviting you to their august assembly. Your lady will be there and you get an option to marry her when you talk.

You could mess with the map, or you could just exercise great control over them. Have them hold position, follow you, or charge to get free of those spots.

Using the tactical map (backspace key) might also help.

Always Great Helmet and thick heraldic armor with tabard. I'd use a great helm, but it gets in the way of my 3rd person sniping.

On 20% (everything but battle size to minimum) I can win against maybe.. 30 guys max? Regardless of tier or class.

It's definitely possible to win a siege (defensive) on your own, as all you have to do is stand behind the crenelation and swing a poleaxe when someone climbs up the ladder.

I always got frustrated the other way around 
Against an archer, you can kind of just zig-zag, jump, and trololo - if you're the archer, your chance of survival approaches nil as the 2h swordsman approaches you.

Kick him in the nuts. And then do it again.

Kathari 说:

1) when I'm playing as a female, I introduce myself to the various lords of the faction I just joined, and many of them greet me with the "fair ladies bearing arms is a shame/disgrace, get back to the kitchen, make me a sammich etc." thing. Yet then they all turn around and say that they'll remain my most ardent admirer. WTF.

Looks like your sammich making skill isn't quite up to date. Might have a direct link on your reputation with lords.

On the other hand, maybe your skill is high enough and they just love you cause you make great sammiches

Sikker 说:

afaik it doesn't, but it depends on how many of the units you have. If you have 100 of them you will get a bunch of them to top tier in a couple of days, but if you only had one it would take ages to actually get him to top tier.

点击展开...

Oh really? What if you have a high concentration of high tier units that you want your low tier unit to achieve? I would imagine that to help a lot, since if you are training a unit in an army the presence of professional soldiers would rub off.

Ah thank you good sir. I end up doing a lot of that, due to wearing my great helmet, using third person and just having poor crossbow aim to begin with.
