Yea I once took on a band of 10 vanskerrys with 3 adventurers, 1 Hero Adventurer and 3 recruits. Final count, 3 recruits INJURED, 1 advenuter KILLED, one HA KILLED. Raged so hard at my HA dying to Vanskerrys :/

You guys wanted a vaseline moment? Welp once the video finishes processing here it is

Also apparently you can only have a maximum of 2 Youtube Videos on one topic at a time so I'll be posting each new video in its own topic now.

So I am overlaying this into my humiliating defeats Though I am quite horrendous with GiMP. Its obvious I took a picture of Vaseline and just blacked out the surrounding area and added text



Also I updateed the OP with my current offscreen work. I likely won't do anymore work today as I have other projects to do for my Youtube account

Trust me, I'll be overlaying jpg's of Vaseline quite often even with 1/2 damage on my character. What good is one man with an axe when all his allies take full damage and are dead lol.

If I do find I am having to easy of a time with battles at 1/2 I will up it to full. I've been knocked outby Vanskerry's offscreen about 7 times now. Thats what I get for add 2 to each throwing weapons ammo. luckily I was just testing out increased ammo for throwing and it seems slightly overpowered so its gotta go back

I would like to see you up the difficulty.  Wading thru troops like god on 1/4 damage does not show off the tactics required for a challenging game of PoP.  Savescumming is fine, I like to think of it Nick Cage's character in Next.

Damage to player is set at 1/2 not 1/4. Damage to players unfortunately doesn't get increments in 4ths though that would be quite nice. Damage to friends i am probably going to up to full instead of the second highest option. When I get more comfortable with the game I will up it to full damage. This is actually my first time playing on damage settings even this high >_< I know, I is nub.

As for savescumming I only plan on doing that for Unique Spawn capturing. Lossing a big battle doesn't warrant a reset, thats part of the game. Unique spawns escaping however kinda ruins the enjoyment to me.

Thanks for the suggestions btw, It shows me people are halfway interested in the series

As for progress offscreen made so far none since last episode, Total War Rome 2 came out yesterday and I has been taken in, I am planning on farming Vanskerrys while my Rome 2 video renders out. I have to be careful of lag though. Nothing makes a throwing specialist more annoying then lag .___.

*EDIT*

I notice in the poll Various Mercenaries are winning rather substantially. You guys really wanna challenge my treasury don't you >_<

Unfortuantely, it´s "Die Videos". You may consider to change it, if you want to show off with your german skills and play braggart instead of private joker.

Damnit nooser is there anything you don't know .___. Die Videos just doesn't sound as good lol

Part 2 is uploading now!


I'll consider D'Shar troops. An army of Bladesmen, Warriors, and a few blademasters works well in my experience

I was wondering if the Looting Skill affects both quantity and quality of drops or if there is any factor that affects the quality if items drops.

No it does not

These forums need a "Like This Post" message just for posts like these, its not often I actually lol when I type lol

Am I the only one who likes to start at Oregar Castle and simply capture every lord that tries to siege, sell and repeat until they are depleted or they capture the castle. If they capture it I then use my funds to get a large army and besiege Cez. The pennisula od Cez is an amazing bottleneck and the Snakies patrolling are great for harassing lords. If a Snake Army besieges I am fine as long as it isn't Maltise. Enough crossbows and their Cobra Warriors never reach the walls :p

Yay another one I was wondering when you'd post another one. Looks amazing as usual dude

The only way I think is to cause a lord to defect to your liege and because he is brand new with no centers he will be landless and they pretty much always get first dibs. Capture a castle, support the new lord and try to convince the other lords to back your choice if you can. So even if you request it the King shouldn't give it to you. Thats if you can support someone else after requesting the castle that is.

Don't you all get bored of autoresolving any sort of "tough" battle??

Fighting real time against such armies are the best parts of the game in my opinion.
The only time I autoresolve is when im forced to but I prefer to run till I heal up. Even if that lets a whole nearly defeated enemy army to get away...

You take far more prisoners auto-calcing then you would fighting since most troops able to reach the Noldor Archer line don't usually carry blunt weapons unless they are a CMKHO, which take copious amounts of both time and money to train into elite soldiers able to take on the Noldor. If I was just fighting the Noldor for their loot then I would not auto-resolve at all but I do it to capture them not just kill them. Once I outfit my CMKHO with Doom Maces, Ancient Engraved Shields, and the best horse available to them and once they have good stats thats when I stop farming the Noldor via auto calc.

But the OP has been very quiet since posting his intial question and I wanna know if we helped out or not

Alavaria said:

You can autoresolve and get spawns, since I've done it twice to Noldor lords.

Well now I feels dumbs, I thought you had to fight the first battle of an engagement >_<

Alavaria said:

I like the idea of farming Noldor. I don't actually need the money though. Or items, I guess. Should get the Noldor shop open and look for some Noldor Noble Armor so people will stop stabbing my foot for uber damage.

Wait, I already have a set. Crude, but my armor can fix that. However, getting the 30 STR needed to wear it is still a problem..

Get unique spawns to spawn, kite them to a marshalled force/lead a marshalled force toward it. Fight the first engagement and auto-calc the rest, ransom the unique spawn for a qualis gem, find Finny and exchange it for an Elixir of Argon, +2 to STR AGI and CHA for the first 3 I believe, the +1 for each after.

Plus on the note of running out of money Unique spawns generally have alot of high-end troops or unique ones that sell for a ton of money

Alavaria said:

Clever use of autoresolve also can get you a lot more prisoners than going onto the battle map.

Also, Noldor sell for a lot and are annoying to fight on the battle map.

YES TO THIS. The easiest way is to spec all your companions for intel and give them all max trainer, then train either Fierd Beserkers or Empire Gladiators. Both have great autocalc values and are cheaper then using Adventurers. Just take 40 zerks, 40 glads, and assorted other troops and autocalc the smaller Noldor patrols. Sell them as prisoners and sell/keep their loot. I would advise to release 4 prisoners every time you do this though if you are the aggressor and attack them, it keeps relations even since you lose 4 for attack but gain 1 for releasing

Keep faction power in mind as well. If your castle is deep into friendly territory just keep a small garrison there with just a few elite troops. That should stop individual lords from sieging. You are gonna ride to the aide of your castle from any marshalled force anyway so it really saves money to keep your heartland castles with a low garrison. Give the units to your Lords (If your a monarch) or your militia patrols (in 3.61, there is a bug in 3.6 that won't let you) in order to keep them fighting somewhere without costing you money.

For garrison try not to make them all high end troops, they will eat into your treasury like no one's business. If you have a 200 troop garrison a max of 60 should be top tier with the rest being just below or in the case of Empire ranged, almost completely low tier. Armored Crossbowmen are great in small amounts, Empire crossbowmen are awesome in siege work for a fraction of the cost. Think that way an you should be good.

Quantity over quality for garrisons. Keep a small amount of great and keep mostly good and decent. Avoid mercanaries and mounted units for garrison, way to expensive and most mounted units are crap in siege defense since they love to use lances and lances suck in ground combat.

Also keep in mind you should take enemy lords prisoner if you don't plan on eventually recruiting them. Always take Debauched lords prisoner (they are the ones that just get angry when you let them go). Invest in prisoner management, have a companion invest in looting and have another invest in trade. Sell your prisoners, ransom lords, then sell of all your battle loot. I found that Once I go independent I usually take a castle just to capture the besieging forces and sell them, letting them take the castle after the first failed assault

Northern lords and knights should have cape. Ravenstern that is.
I remember there is a native snake banner, so Snake Cultist can use that? I am thinking, All the minor faction need banners, especially those from the other continent, I mean they represent their kingdom. The Mett, Barclay, Veccavia and Melitine all need their own banner.

I meant each Unique Spawn has a personal crest. For example Maltise's crest could be an anaconda strangling a boar and Three Seers could be a black shield with 3 eyes wreathed in fire etc and those designs go on their capes. It won't happen but it would be awesome
