Finallyyyy!!!

Yap! a small step in the right direction

Nice to see the light crossbow usable on horseback at last.

It has a small bug at the moment (I'm about to make a report in the bug section). You cannot imitate a reload if "W" key is pressed down. You have to release the W for a quick second and then you can reload. If your reload gets interrupted via damage, you'll have to do it again.

Lmao there are still plenty of companions. I don't even think those extra ones are taking away from the normal amount. Don't be so disingenuous. I agree its an annoying bug that should have been fixed already but far from campaign ruining (also **** delaying the patch further just to fix this minor thing).

It ruined my last game because there were 7 of these alien skinny men, so don't be such a TW apologist. They also said it was fixed in this patch which it is not. Go white knight somewhere else buddy.

Art

• Navmesh IDs changed for better AI behaviours in front of castle gates.

Thank god! This means that the defenders will not standstill while we kill them all from behind?

 

[Ironking]

What is the companion bug I hear people talk about if I may ask?

 

[a_ver_est]

The best of this patch:

- AI marriage and adding more adult and kids members for clans to ensure better long-term continuity.
- Option for disabling aging, death, kids, etc. I won’t ever use this option but this is good because now TW could reduce the amount of days per year without people crying due to aging. Please TW do it, waiting 1500 days a minimum until be able to play with my son is too much and I usually get bored and start a new campaign.
- The bug fix for joining as mercenary now does not stop kingdom decisions. This was making me to avoid playing as mercenary at all, really thanks Mexxico for adding this.
- Caravans speed fix and tanneries and workshops fix.
- Villagers and guards new dialogues. Not something huge but a pretty welcome improvement to bring more immersion to the game. Thanks for that.
- While archers are a bit stronger than in 1.5.4, it is nice to see that devs have fixed the archers AI without making them insanely good in SP agains as they were before 1.5.3. Really thanks for do not bringing back broken and insanely OP archers again.

The worse of this patch:

- Cavalry AI still not fixed and cavalry units having still a pretty poor performance.
- This patch is still not 1.5.6 and we have to wait for these beautiful snowballing fixes.

This one is very important and demanded request also!!!!

Implemented a new system that calculates troop power based on context. Removed cavalry troop simulation bonuses for sieges.

Now we will see how does it impact on Khuzait performance before new snowballing fixes are deployed.

What is the companion bug I hear people talk about if I may ask?

Some few bald and 65 years old companions who spawn in campaigns now. Something almost unnoticeable in my opinion.

Unless it spawns a bunch of these guys and you can't find any remotely culturally close companions because they take up the pool.

There are fake companions in the game called " ..... with the two-handed swords", they have no skills and are clearly just a left over testing companion. Just ignore these ones, all other companions are fine.

[tlowey]

Dud you make her a governess or she joined just after 18 ?

Well she was 18 cannot remember how she joined. Had a couple of drinks while playing Lol

Yes, the power calculation modification in sieges to do not take into account cavalry is great. The thing is that I have been disabling this cavalry bonus with mods in all my campaigns so I won’t really notice much. But I do agree with this is a good change.

 

[Blood Gryphon]

They are empire only and don't seem to impact the normal amount of empire companions. Each faction will have 3-5 companions at the start. Also everyone needs to remember every year new companions will spawn.

Baby steps. We're getting there, oh so gradually

 

[Althix]

and it looks like highland warlord bracers now have a botched texture on male characters

Don't be angry Steve, you'll have a crowd for your drum performance one day.

 

[Trüesteel]

Seems they removed the Disciplinarian perk and tweaked the Leadership tree without including those changes in the patch notes.

Three Leadership perks also have "Not Implemented" as part of their definitions too.

I guess recruiting prisoners and upgrading them to noble troops was kind of OP but man I'm gonna miss it.

 

[Eugene Shutto]

New leadership perks so sweet . I dunno if they work yet, but I think they should. Only one perk not implemented and it's literally written "not implemented "

Well she was 18 cannot remember how she joined. Had a couple of drinks while playing Lol

Ok. I'm curious now, may be it works in the end.

LOL, right... Go back to your video games kid. It's a soundcheck for a music festival.
