Hi guys,
Is it a gameplay "feature" that I cannot enter friendly cities? I keep getting the text that should occur if you were hostile with the faction.

I also have the steam version and have the same problem.

As for removing it yourself, I suppose it might be possible but it'd be a lot of work. Quintillus has commented on it before saying it was to do with a script (post from somewhere in this forum). The most recent mention by him was that it's "working on his copy" so we might be in trouble.

So effectively, what I'm hearing is people are charging money for Blood and Steel or one of the other 23023403240234 mods that include gunpowder weapons in this game?

Siegecrossbow: OHK on pretty much anything and everything
Plus Crossbows aren't terribad against armor.

Bows are really only if you want powerdraw and/or horsearchery anyway. If you're a casual meleer grab a crossbow, simple as that.

100+ ping here to some azn servers which tend to be most populated when I'm on so I play on them. Manual blocking is painful and pretty much IMPOSSIBLE if you can't do it like a sexgod in singleplayer so shield is definitely the way to go. I find my favourite class is huscarl with 1h axe and round shield. Grab a lance from the dead lancers and spear some newbie horsemen. Makes for good fun but you'll still get wasted by good players with good pings.

Stopped reading entire thread right there. Ewww. Just Ewwww.

Sounds like I wanted to do with Oblivion. Everyone gets these fantastic "OMG MMO of X! WITH NO NPCS JUST PEOPLE!!!" ideas then fails to realise how damn complicated that **** is. Quite frankly it's ridiculous because:
The playerbase will NEVER be big enough to support that
Assuming you had enough playerbase, your server would have to be godmode engage since they'd all have to be run on one server
Every griefer and their pet griefer dogs would dive on an undertaking like this. I suppose you could consider it free beta testing if you like, just remember that when "L337HomBoi3" haxxes your **** and breaks everything.
A myriad of other stuff that I'm too lazy to address and probably has already been looked at.

I do gnawilds every so often. They're a pain to get but it's always fun to watch 60 screaming women murder everybody with their claymores.

Ahem...

Bad AI coding tbh. I've heard they sometimes swap when their shield breaks but considering they have heavy board shields? Yeah...

Maybe you should give Blood and Steel a whirl. It gives Rhodocks and their polearms some major love. There is a whole class line based solely on Voulges and other big killy things.

Have fun fighting every lord ever all grouped into one little castle. I suppose you could theoretically win if you had a large army of Marksmen, a sweet hill and kept on retreating. This is assuming your enemies were Nord or maybe Rhodock too, no cavalry to murder your archers.

Shh Plazek you punk. Stop flamin'

Aha but that is incorrect, you must simply use the whole lolspinstab fighting style and this confuses your foolish enemies.

Also; digging the memegenerator however I believe the captured enemy lord one should be more like
*Claymore enemy lord to face, teabag body for whole battle "Count Despin has managed to escape!"*

If you're getting hit from long distances then you are almost certainly on a server with a terrible latency or have intermittent lag spikes (wireless causes this rather heavily). The timing issue combined with the footman probably having just as long a spear as you would mean you're guaranteed to get hit before you hit them. To mitigate this you should probably A) Find a better server (sort by ping not by playerbase) and B) Learn to lance properly.

Seems to me that the 2H stab has always been a bit questionable. Try it with the bots in the arena. They frequently pull off some quick thrusts with that thing. Usually hits for really low damage though.

Edit: Maybe it's working as intended but I just remembered something I noticed with weapon speed. Sometimes, as Ozwan said, the animation just seems to "lol speed!!!!" and you'll do some stupidly quick attack. Happened with a Nord axe to me a few times, stupidly fast downward strike. I am completely unfamiliar with how the animations work so maybe there's a little loophole there.

Which is true in my experience, most times the Nords and Vaegirs will be fighting over stuff. If not they'll have a stab at the Swadians just for being Swadian. Dunno why your Nords are obsessed with the Sarranids... Mine generally don't go past the Khergits.

Problem with that theory Isuck is that there are NO polearm loadouts EXCEPT having a lance of your own in nilla tournaments.

Was going to suggest the chamberblock as well, it's the only way apart from throwing yourself at the horse that you'll stop a couch from getting you if you don't have a shield. Couched lances go straight through the thrust style block. Of note though, the AI very well may just try to thrust you rather than couching. You can tell by the animation when they get their attack ready. If they do that you can always block.

Really, your biggest problem will be if you get an archer and you're forced to make a dodge instead of a block.

I enjoy fighting certain partys of every faction, but every faction has their painful things too.

Rhodocks: I like fighting their spearmen as they tend to come at me barehanded (Yay for AI!) and with crappy armor. Plus so long as you get within a certain distance they become less effective. In mods which fix their lulz inducing spearmen I still enjoy fighting them because it means I get to run around with stolen Glaives (Blood and Steel is AWESOME for this). As everyone else ever, I have a HUGE hatred for their sharpshooters.

Swadia: Never really fought with them that much. They're a pain if you have foot troops or marksmen (plate armor... arrows what arrows sticking out of my chestplate? Ohhhh! I didn't notice those). Plus they have crossbows. I dislike crossbows in general tbh.

Khergits: Probably my most memorable enemy, first faction I ever properly skirmished with. Dislike because when you're starting out a completely mounted army will murder your infantry/archer troops. Apart from that, their lancers have a tendancy to couch a lot of high level units one hit killing those knights that took over 9000 days to train. They die well to knights though.

Sarranids: Never fought them too much. Only problem is mamlukes. Damn tanks.

Vaegir: Two handed knights. Ewww. I like their marksmen though.

Nords: Don't fight them all that much. Don't have too much of a problem although the huscarls make a mess of any archer lines they can reach.

Theory here: I take out my elite manhunters and troll around taking sea raider prisoners. If I have maxed prisoner management and take all the sea raiders I can hostage, I can then ditch my army and walk around with like 50+ Prisoners and find a looter party or something. Then die ===> Looters obtain 50 Sea Raiders ===> Rinse Repeat ===> ??? ===> PROFIT!!!

Until SUPER LOOTERS RULE CALRADIA!!!!

Blood and Steel makes this go away. All the great swords do some obscene amount of damage so it'll one hit anybody so long as it doesn't whiff (which is kinda predictable... it seems the fighting was pretty double or nothing - your armor will make it a tiny wound or it'll fail and you'll be headless)
