Melee friendly fire is disabled but your troops can and will hit you and you can hit them with projectiles.

I don't think this is true. The most I've seen is that they can hit your shield. The player can always shoot allies though.

I've heard that there are ways to enable these things but they end very poorly due to how the AI deals with it. Archers shoot each other because they stand too close together and melee troops kill each other because they swing without regard for the allies around them.

Thanks for the reply! I ended up ignoring the problem because it went away (temporarily).

Well, last night, I made a new character and the bug came back again! However, I was just testing stuff. I gave myself 15000 strength. I went into a tournament to beat up some people and then I heard some rattling when I was getting hit. WTF? No rumble pack in keyboards or my computer...

Then I remembered my xbox controller was plugged in. It was on the floor (cats lol) in a way that I guess it was pressing a button when the controller rumbled, and it rumbled when I got hit? But I don't know why it came back specifically when I made a new character (I was just playing and then made the new character).

When I unplugged the controller, the issue resolved immediately.

Well, I copied my modules and save files and reinstalled the game. Made a new character and it was still busted!

However, after stopping playing last night and coming back to it this morning, it seems to be working properly now.... WTF?!?!?!?!

I'm really at a loss for what is causing this. I at least can play the game now though.

Just for clarity, troops all have a random set of equipment they can get stuff from. I don't know the chances, either, but it is super clear with vaegir veterans who sometimes have a horse and sometimes don't (tier 3 infantry for vaegirs).

Other examples are:
Rhodok sergeants - some with a military pick (or hammer, can't remember), some with a military cleaver
Swadian sergeants - mostly the same, but you'll eventually see the odd one with the brigandine instead of the coat of plates
Nord huscarls - some have two-handed weapons, some don't

The list goes on. I think there's only a few troops that only have one set of armour they all get. I think Rhodok veteran spearmen are one of them (always the green tunic over mail, kettle helmet, and glaive).

Heavy horse, 1h sword, shield, crossbow, bolts. I swap to 2h sword for castle sieges or any fight I expect / prefer to fight on foot (usually against Khergits if I have a nice hill to stand on). Heavy armour, usually just best possible, but I often will stop with cuir bouilli or heraldic mail with surcoat because I think they look awesome.

I either have the goal of conquering calradia myself or with a faction. Which faction I join is random between Vaegirs, Nords, and Swadians. Not sure why I haven't done the other ones. The only exception to this is that I often will make a challenge for myself, such as taking a castle with only companions or just seeing how large a party I can kill by myself.

I always start in Praven because that's where I went first. After analyzing further, it seems pretty safe in terms of bandits, and the Praven tournament is the easiest one to win at level 1. I imagine Sargoth is a good starting point as well since it is nearby, so you can still make it to a tournament there and fight similar kinds of bandits.

Early game is farming solo or with my companions. I usually try to farm up a bunch of dyeworks so I can support an army easily. I do lots of quests in this stage. Mid game I build up a small army and join a faction. After taking some land, I usually betray them and take one of the towns they gave me (I leave no garrison). Then I just hold out and slowly build my kingdom from there.

I typically do heavy INT builds. I theory-crafted a high-tactics, high-surgery build one time and it turned out to be one of the most OP things in the game. I rarely stray from this build.

One thing to note is that any lady with any positive relation (I think it just has to be above 0, but not certain, it could be a bit higher) will eventually send someone to tell you she wishes to see you. You get a quest to go visit them at whatever castle they're in which you only have to complete within a month. When you go visit her, you get +1 relation. You will get this quest again after some time.

All you can do to boost the speed of relation gain is to read her poems that you can learn from some random dudes in taverns (wandering bard or something ilke that - there's something like 5 of them and they all have slight variations on their title). The amount they add depends on the lady. There's probably a way to find out what poems she likes, but I've never really looked into it much.

I have never been a fan of lances in warband. I didn't play vanilla M&B so I don't know what it's like there, but in warband, it just feels clunky to use. I can dish out much more kills with a 1-handed sword or a morning star. I only really use them if I am forcing the role of a knight or something like that or if I just want to deal as much damage as possible to a lord (particularly Jarl Olaf because he looks goofy ).

I was really intend on reading your entire story, until I saw the massive spam of 'lol'. So I did a quick scan and the first page alone, 46x lol is a bit to much.

My B >.< I could go through and clean it up some if you like. I wrote it out in separate chunks usually at least a day apart. I did find a lot of to be quite funny, but clearly I got carried away.

EDIT:
Okay I went through and cleaned up my posts! Can't fix the ones in other peoples' quotes, but I assume you won't read those, anyway. I also added a couple screen shots and 3 or 4 minor text fixes.

Cavalry are, indeed, very strong in this game. It also doesn't help that AI lords typically will not have a strong army (bigger than yours pretty much always, but the troops are all over the place with usually 10% or less top tier troops). The AI also does not use very good tactics while battling which adds to their problem. They basically will take the brunt of a cavalry charge every time and die miserably doing so.

As the player, you can play around this a bit because the enemy cavalry will charge* at you. If you let the enemy party follow you near a cliff and then battle, you can abuse the terrain to take out their cavalry with your infantry. You can also do so in spots where enemy archers can't really reach you.

* There is one time they won't - when they are outnumbered and have a lot of archers, the AI will sometimes set up their troops on a nearby hill and wait for you. If you really want to play cost effectively, you can stand just inside their range that they shoot with your shield up and wait for them to run out of ammo lol. Then they will charge with all their troops.

You can definitely win wars through brute force. The main thing is you also need some tactics to go along with it (not the tactics skill - though it does help - just battle strategy). It is the primary strategy I have used for a long time because it is hard to get a lot of lords to join you and also keep them all happy with nice distribution of fiefs.

I say you should stick with this a bit longer. I kind of like the times where you are desperately trying to protect your kingdom. It is rare for me to actually be in a position where I am legitimately worried about the outcome. However, if this is not your thing, then restarting is a fine option. You've likely learned a lot from this save file. On top of that, you can always come back to it if you want to I also like to have a separate save file where I am not planning on going for a kingdom or becoming a vassal. It's nice to be able to run around and do whatever I feel like doing.

Getting lanced sucks >.< lol

Javelins are definitely my most common way to get booted out of the battle. I, too, play without damage notifications - I don't have the allied icons above their heads or damage, exp, casualty or shot difficulty reports. I only have the target reticule because I can't aim without it lol. I see my character fall back, suddenly having become a unicorn thanks to some nords.

Rhodoks will definitely be a pain, though. I'm glad I took them out early.

Yeah that might have been the better way to go. They still have all of their original lords and have been turtled up most of the game. Not to mention for some reason lords don't like me, I have only had 3 come over to my side despite having virtually 3/4 of the castles in the game open for them and even a few towns (I took a few just for the income) Yet for some reason every vaegir lord not in my prison (about 6 of them currently) has gone to either the Nords or Rhoodoks...



As to Jeremus he isn't a huge loss. He was pretty much just sucking up money anyway since I went with a high INT/AGI build I have all the medical skills myself and Artiminer also has them high enough to give me the +4 bonus.

点击展开...

Ya I mostly use my companions as immortal, custom outfit troops. They also eventually become stronger than tier 5 troops when they get high enough level.

I think you might misunderstand how the party bonus thing works. For example, if you had 8 surgery and your party was empty, your party's surgery would by 8(+3) for a total of 11. Having the party skills yourself is super overpowered. If you add in, say, Jeremus with 5 surgery, your party's surgery would still be 8 (the highest surgery - yours) +3 (+3 bonus for having 8 of the party skill as the party leader) for a total of 11. The only reason to have extra healing skills on party members is for the times your character is wounded from battle (wound treatment turns off and I think your own first aid cannot apply to you but your party members can).

I find Rhodoks are always like this. They sit in their corner of the map and do not war with anyone. They usually just fortify their armies indefinitely and gain a bit of extra territory from the weak swadians and usually take Shariz from the Sarranids. When you fight them, they will likely have 50+ tier 5 troops in all their armies. It's quite a pain >.< but you can crush them with heavy cavalry most of the time. Castle fights I found quite rough but I think I could have been more cheesy about it. I think if I trained a proper army for it, it would not have been so hard. I think the best army is a good split of infantry (or dismounted cavalry) and archers/crossbowmen. You need to have a meat shield for your army. Then you stand a bit far from their castles so that your high tier ranged troops can take them out while the lower tier defenders do not have as good accuracy at long range.

you are right this game feels so much more real on hard and 5x better j
joust you gotta be very carefull i hope i can win at least vs villagers , sea raiders just catch me up after long chasing

点击展开...

Villagers are quite tough if you raid early. They attack you if you have like <10 guys and they come with ~60 villagers lol. You can beat them with cheesy strategies like hiding in a raised storehouse, but it is still easy to die. The main thing is that losing a battle against the villagers doesn't really cost you anything. You will lose more honour and relation with the village / lord / town if you have to attack again, but you don't get taken prisoner and don't lose any gear. In fact, you can attack the village again immediately - EVEN WITH 0 HEALTH! Though you get one-shot by things that even deal 0 damage haha. Anyway, this is all a bit exploitative, but the point is that attacking a village is quite safe in the early game and the gains are incredible at that stage.

That was my go-to strategy before. Now I usually just do quests or go for a tournament. Praven tournaments are easy to win at level 1 if you know what to do. You fight in the arena until you have 600 denars to do full bets on yourself and then you win the tournament and bump up to 4000 lol.

annallia 说:

Certainly won't be a record since I am pushing day 150 already but...

Down to just the Nords and the Rhodoks left.

The good? Nords hold only Thir and Jelbergi or whatever its called castle though I hadn't managed to catch their campaign army so they have a host several thousand strong roaming about but I accidentally accepted a peace with them so it isn't my problem... Yet.

The bad? Rhodoks still hold nearly all of their beginning lands + They took harringoth and Suno from me before suing for peace which I accepted to focus on the nords because I wanted huscarls to take on the Rhodoks...

In other news Jeremus is missing. Well not missing, just not able to reclaim him at the moment. I had lent him to Boyer Bracha when I was allied with the Vaegirs and kinda forgot about him until I was half way through taking them over, I then imprisoned Bracha and he is still rotting in Halmar despite 40+ days going by since the Vaegirs went belly up.

LMAO!!! I strongly recommend avoiding the "lend me your companion" quests.

But that is still quite good! Under 200 days is still hilarious to me. Conquering a continent in less than a year?

Rhodoks will definitely be a pain, though. I'm glad I took them out early.

Still haven't played for a while! Too much pokemon go still haha and I haven't had much free time on weekends lately due to other gaming competitions that I participate in (literally a tournament every weekend for all of August).

just started playing on highest combat difficulty, ai and damage recieved all on hardest, god damn it sure forces you to be carefull but its a lot more fun, i lost 40 soldiers 3 times alredy to 15 skull raiders ( i had recruits ), its really hard to train them and im so broke now,lords dont give quests most of the time, so how do i make money without raiding villages( i dont wanna go to war yet my char and gear and party are pitifull.) im just a commoner hunter.

It sure is tough when you try it for the first time. I remember my friend and I gave up and restarted a few times before we got the hang of it.

It is worth it to just stick with a very small party and kill looters until you have a small team to fight with. This can be a few mercenaries or maybe some recruits that you stick with for a while. I recommend training skill to at least get your recruits up one level (recruits are reaaally weak).

Sea raiders are quite tough. You will have an easier time against forest bandits or mountain bandits which are near each other. Looters are everywhere, so always try to find them and take them on! You can get money by doing quests, mostly, if you don't want to raid villages. Though, I think raiding a single village - gisim - is not a bad idea. You sell the loot for ~5000 denars which lets you buy some nice armour. Just be sure to look for "discount" items - like sturdy leather gloves, rusty armour (that is normally very strong) - you can find really nicely priced gear by just checking stats and costs with the modifiers. Rusty bucket helm will cost less than 1000 denars but still has better armour than almost every other helmet with no modifier.

The party size disparity thing is a quirk with how AI lords work. They don't follow all the rules you do - their party size is governed by how many fiefs they have (as well as some other factors), but yours is not, so you cannot increase your party size for having more fiefs. On the other end, you will probably have all tier 5 troops while enemies have maybe only 10% tier 5 troops with a big spread of random, crappier units. Due to this, you may be surprised how much you can take on by yourself with just over 100 men.

Anyway, making your own kingdom is a huge leap into dangerous waters, but also quite a bit of fun. It starts out crazy and there's so many big things that can happen. It really brings the real time aspect of the game into the picture, and you can have many great victories.

Are you playing on max difficulty? I think it caps at 111% on normal mode and 148% on realistic mode. I recommend conquering Calradia yourself at least once on the hardest difficulty (at least on normal mode). It gets tedious, but I think it is worth doing as it really signifies the completion of the base game, imo.

Anyway, if you're up for it, you can also do a weird speed run with the game You basically try to conquer Calradia in as few in-game days as possible. I managed to eliminate all the other factions by day 170 in my attempt. You basically cheese the AI and abuse every game mechanic to the maximum to try to win as fast as possible. I encourage you to try a speed run yourself if that is your kind of thing

I don't know if it is possible to check this. However, rather than just finding the ones that already like you, just try to find a dense cluster that have the type of troops you want to recruit. Go there often and check for quests each time. The dense cluster allows you to visit them all quickly and stock up on troops, but it also helps with the damn cattle quests since you won't need to go as far to get them from one village to another. I typically try to plan these locations fairly early on and keep it in mind if I am going to raid villages or if I ever want some quests to do.

Play on max difficulty. It is very fun because it just makes the game more fair. Easier difficulties are basically like you get advantages (less damage taken, AI is extra stupid, etc.). There's a bit of weird stuff like enemy parties get bigger than yours and more quickly, but they are rarely that strong because so many are not top tier troops.

Since you are new, I am assuming, I would recommend just playing the base game. Maybe add in diplomacy which a lot of people swear by (they added a bunch of nice features without breaking the game away from its roots).

I love Dhirim and start there with my own kingdom most of the time (not a good idea for my speed runs though lol). I just think it definitely causes entire factions to die at least partially.

Finally got to play a bit again last night. I was busy over the weekend and then I've been playing a bunch of Pokemon Go. I didn't play too much; I started recruiting Swadians and killing bandits with them to train them up. I only have a party of about 50/88, so still some more recruiting to do. Still no Ymira even though the taverns reset, but I don't mind not having her in the party at this point. I gave all my companions horses so that they can get into the action during these training battles more easily. I plan to join a faction very soon, possibly right after I max out my party, and then start killing hopefully the Rhodoks.

I realised one extra benefit of attacking a faction to train up your companions. That faction gets a little weaker and the lords get more distracted as you raid their villages and get spotted everywhere, so they will be more likely to lose territory. I think any territory changing hands without you involved is always beneficial since it creates higher chance for other factions to go to war with each other later, and more lords to be upset with their king which just generally messes with the campaign AI.

I finally remembered to check this time. I have -78 honor lmao. That's pretty bad, but I expected this going in.
