I was watching a guy stream where he joined a battle (he had no men of his own) of one of the people he was fighting for go against one of their enemies. It was a big battle, more than 400 people combined troops. The 2 armies then proceeded to run towards each other, and then do nothing. They didn't move or attack or anything, they just stood there. The guy streaming eventually got bored and just left the battle.

I also saw a stream where two armies got into an intense staring contest before the player crowd surfed into his enemies.

In my own experiences when two large forces meet, the battle is very uneventful.. I thought there was additional AI given to the NPCs, and if so, it is just a waste of cpu cycles.

Thanks I'll try that

You can also get timber for 33 penings in some Northvegr villages. When you have enough cash to pay for your voyage, I'd recommend selling the excess timber at your destination for maximum returns.

That's what I did to get out of Northvegr when I was but a lowly freeman.

I've seen silver in my travels as a trader in goods markets - if I recall correctly, it was about 550 penings.

I also reckon that you can get it if you are of the pillaging pagan type and don't mind paying a monastery a visit 

With the recent release of VC, I came back here to check on the status of the mod. It still looks amazing, and I see that the original post was edited yesterday.. Curious to know how this is coming along!

The biggest issue, imho, is the inability to recruit any kind of soldier on the British Isles, you can either recruit mercs, recruit from prisoners / liberated people or go back to Scandinavia.

This. I was running into morale problems with Christian troops until I started recruiting liberated prisoners. After 2 battles with Alban lords I had recruited about 50-60 pagan troops which set the morale issue straight.

Thanks for the answer.
I'm having a problem since this is blocking the main quest, I need to talk to a lord that the kingdom in question is in war with ...  he attacks me right away.

I had a similar issue in sandbox mode where I became a mercenary for the Northvegr which made Alban hostile towards me. Then I asked the same lord who hired me for a task, and he wanted me to deliver a message to an Alban lord haha. I just waited until the contract ended because the quest had a 60 day window to complete.

bawzz said:

Is that information about the time left available anywhere in the menus ? I didn't find it.

Click to expand...

I haven't found a way to check the contract time either. Though if you pay attention to how many times you are paid at the end of week upkeep reports, I'd assume after 4-5 mercenary payments your contract will be close to ending.

So you're saying the top player on the score card is the Captain?

Click to expand...

Yes, but it is not relating to kills - which is how the list is sorted once kills are accumulated.

Mewler says that in the beginning of a fresh map, the player that resides in the top position of the scoreboard is the one who captains the ship. Though, this is subject to change as players join and leave the game. I have found this to be true as well.

Already fixed and will be in next hotfix.

Awesome! I have faith that the team is going to continue to make this an amazing game.

Also, I've yet to see any pagan factions invade the British Isles. They just declare war and do nothing about it.

Hmm, I spoke to a lord about joining his army as a mercenary and he let me? He told me to gather up some men a nd he would tell me of upcoming battles?

Click to expand...

I did the same.
But now I want to leave him ... but I cant ! I talk to him or his king but there's no option to leave this "freelancer" mode ... How the hell do you get out of it ?

Click to expand...

The contract for being a mercenary lasts for a month. At the end you will have the option to renew or break away.

Hi Mewler, it is good to see you on the forums. It would be nice if there was some documentation given to us about the new game modes at some point.

Slytacular said:

Is it only me that has this problem, but how do you stop your army from building a refuge every time I decide to rest in the game? This feature bankrupts me because its a 1000 penings each time.

You are not alone. I just wait in towns now, and as a result have had some close calls with morale when out in the field on long campaigns.

Perhaps this? http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,320050.0.html

A easy fix is edit your character and get more $$$. That way you can skip the hard beginning and and you can become a warlord faster.

Just curious, what is your renown at? Personally, I think the game will offer more avenues for progression once I reach 150 renown and can hire higher tier mercs from mead halls.

stevehoos said:

Another thing, do we really have to "train the peasants" to recruit soldiers? As long as I have been playing M+B I can't think of anything more tedious and boring.

Click to expand...

You can always try to recruit soldiers from the mead hall, but the higher tier troops won't join unless you are renowned.

I've never played with autosave and have experienced many of the bugs that people have mentioned.

Also have accumulated about 10 hours of playtime in VC.
