    I'll install it later, I like battle mode m'self.

    cRPG? What's that?

  3. Bring me up to speed

    Ah.

    Maybe Siege warfare has advanced beyond the point of forming lines and duking it out? :razz:

    In beta, I always picked up a good shield in exchange for the admittedly crappier, but free spear. Because of this, my main tactic on a siege entry way was to jump into them, stab, block and go back.

    What kind of game modes are popular?

  4. Bring me up to speed

    I haven't played Warband since the beta. Is it still alive and kicking? I can't buy the game yet, will have to wait another year or two.

    Does picking up a shield and spear still work as an Infantryman in a siege/team game, or will I get my arse handed to me?

    Have the Jews killed millions of other humans? Have they sent people to gas chambers, then make soap out of their dead body fat. Did they dig a huge hole and bury thousands of persons there? Then they also must of have mutilated their victims, perform many horrible experiements on them, while they're alive. Not to mention other such horrors.

    As for the intelligence part, well, if you really believe that, then you're beyond salvation.

    It takes a lot to move a country to war, much less genocide.


    That being said, if the Germans really hated the Jews that much to begin with..then I really ought to wonder why they continued to live there. xD

    Not exactly. We might be a bit more advanced if a certain Catholic church didn't go burning people that were proven to be thinking with their own minds. Nothing pisses greedy higher clergy more than people thinking. Means less cash for them.

    Actually, besides less cash, it also meant the Catholic church could be wrong. This means that if they let it go, it would mean more people start to question what the Catholics shove down throats. This means they lose a potentially exponential amount of cash, and their ironhold grip on the government/culture.

    They don't, that's part of the problem. You've got around six historians who were contemporaries of Jesus, and yet none of them mention him. Which considering the amount of crap that occurs throughout the New Testament (the world being plunged into darkness for three days for example), is somewhat unusual.

    Actually, their very same God promises that "lukewarm" Christians will suffer a greater fate than any 'evil' person. Basically, He wants you to follow his Word as best as you can..or be pure ****ing evil.


    This is often ignored, to make Christianity sound better.

    There is a forum for Warband that's not suggestions, however I think this may be the appropriate place.

    A young hero named Valerin;

    him with their fists;
    he felt his own mantits;
    and grabbed a mighty bow that is crossed;
    and showed them two idiots that he couldn't be bossed.

    Puccio was fighting;
    whilst Hajbab was sighting;
    Valerin's delicate ballsack;

    Hajbab was stunned;
    when his friend was shunned;
    into the afterlife;
    with a little bit of strife.

  12. [Observation/Suggestion] Unintended benefit to the .720 couching system?

    CtrlAltDe1337 said:
    Observation:
    So I've been playing cav more on .720 and I have noticed something.  The way couching works now, a horse that moves slower and has slower turning stats can turn more while still keeping their lance in couch mode.  You can theoretically do the same thing by simply slowing down your horse and tapping A or D with a fast horse, but its a lot easier with a big, slow warhorse or charger.
          Now, the point is, this is a really good thing!  A warhorse should have an easier time couching than a courser.  And this is what this patch helps achieve.  Sarranid, desert, and steppe horses seem to have the hardest time at controlling a couch(because of their turning skill, they reset the lance position really easily).  In my opinion, this is a great gameplay change that is also really realistic.  Heavy cavalry would traditionally use couching the most, while light cavalry fulfilled more of a skirmisher role part of the time. I think if the amount you could turn without reseting your couch could be increased slightly, it would make the cavalry system much better than any version before, as right now it still resets a little too easily.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Suggestion:
    Or better yet, the system could be improved even more with a few simple changes.
          First, make it where you press X to swap the lance into "couch mode" (like swapping the great axe now).  In couching mode, you click to lower the lance and it stays down for a certain amount of time.  This will add a little more skill into the equation.  Basically, this is similar to Welcome to Hell's suggestion.  BUT--when in couching mode, limit your ability to turn, equivalent to how far you can turn in .720 without reseting the lance.  i.e. you can mash down A or D but it only turns you at the same speed as tapping A or D to keep your lance down in .720.  This will stop people from accidentally turning too far and raising their lance while trying to couch, while keeping the turn limitation in.  The turn limitation is a good thing, as it keeps people from riding in circles in couch position, and makes you think harder about when to try to couch and when to thrust

    Is this perhaps the holy grail of M&B cavalry?  All 3 forms of cavalry combat will have their place (couch, thrust, sword), and different horses will be better for different combat styles even more than now.

    This would make it so only the wealthy can couch-Warhorses aren't exactly cheap, and a good player can dehorse somebody pretty quickly. I would support if couching mode lets you move your lance out farther.

    What do you think?

  13. Funny thing happened today :D

    First off-If there's a forum for Warband that isn't flooded with suggestions or bugs, tell me, because obviously my posts need to be there and not on this forum. Hear hear.

    Mmmhmm. Only saying that Archers are a backbone of any Warband, and so, you will always have to deal with them.

    And enless you want to be diving for cover and/or moving back and forth like a nutter to avoid being shot, the best way to deal with them is a shield.

    :X Just trying to lay the two weapon fighting thing to rest.

    As a moderately off-topic thought, I'd like to see higher swing speeds for the guan daos in the game-They're heavy, to be sure, but not that heavy.

    Well maybe you should so you check idea against data.

    I think the sun is getting larger. Everybody knows this..The sun is a main sequence star, and as it slowly runs out of fuel, it grows larger. A slight growth in diameter could mean a 1 degree F increase over however many years. Combined with other effects, this would probably warm the climate.
    Click to expand...
    No argument that sun is and will get larger - its more like timescale of 1deg per 200million years though (from memory -dont quote me). For last 65million years, earth has got COLDER (to point of having ice caps) despite this. The atmosphere has got depleted in GHG over this time. On much more local time scale, earth is affected by slight changes is solar radiation due to orbital variations. Currently on a slight DOWN TURN in solar (time scale for change is 1000s of years). eg http://tamino.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/annual90.jpg?w=500&h=325 - average annual insolation at pole. Not much sign of solar heating us. We have been measuring solar input directly by satellite too in recent decades. Again, no warming trend.

    But our Earth has been here for a great long time...And our industrial age is very, very recent, such is the cause of my doubt of our industrial processes affecting the globe. But it would explain sharp increases some claim to show.
    Click to expand...

    But you can measure the effect of our activities on the atmosphere - fossil carbon has different isotopic signature so can measure the change in CO2 and where the CO2 came from. Next calculate the heating from that change, compare with actually observed heating from atmosphere. eg http://ams.confex.com/ams/Annual2006/techprogram/paper_100737.htm
    Now that isnt the end of the argument - there are other feedbacks, positive and negative, but AGW is a based on coherent theory of climate which matches predictions with observations better than any other theory.
    Click to expand...

    I never said that the sun's slow expansion was the cause, but I doubt that the burning of fossil fuels is the only cause. Not only that, but our hybrid cars still run on gasoline, which still put CO2 into the atmosphere-That's not fixing the problem.

    In that case, can you find a paper that accurately describes the CO2 output of the human body? Or the O2 production of about a square mile of rainforest?
