that's sad... I find throwing weapons the most fun but they're getting screwed in both singleplayer and multiplayer, both for the player and for units... I just want an infantry-based army but it's such a severe handicap to do this playstyle. At least playing as a mounted skirmisher is fun, I can even use the javelins/axes as melee weapons so it's really entertaining. So I guess I will try adding some mounted skirmishers to my roster, maybe it will disorient the crossbowmen a bit... God bless the fact that raiding caravans provides serious money, or the warhorses would be a pain to get.Yeah, Battanian=Fian. Nothing else matters. At least in the latest betas, they're easy to raise. My current character has all Fian tree with companions set up as HA with glaives.
Sarcasm. But probably it's one of those quests for same faction members or something, who knows.I'm clan tier 0 and a lord with a quest tells me that he can't bother me with such an unimportant issue. Also calls me "my lord"
Yeah infantry and Cav struggle against ranged, all types of ranged. Having a shield and being in shield wall help but is still not 'good' other then to soak up arrows while your own ranged kills the enemy. But no shield... no they just don't work in this game. I feel like infantry doesn't have a role in bannerlord, it's just there to hang out. Even using them as a SW is questionable because "Why not just more ranged?" or cheaper ranged to be a meat shield that shoots back? Inf doesn't have cheaper daily wages or any other utility. I wish they would add something special for infantry to do in battles.Beside a few minor bugs, does anyone else feel like Battanian troops are terrible? The vlandian crossbowmen decimate them, even the caravan ones or villager crossbowmen. Also since oathsworns have lost their big shield, I feel so unmotivated to work to promote battanian infantry... wildlings again lose terribly vs crossbowmen, so I don't get what's the point of the battanian roster at this point. Literal garbage tier. I feel like they need a rework of their normal troops, skirmishers and "infantry" are all way too similar anyway, especially now that the oathsworns have the same shield as the wildlings...
Yeah this for sure. Nothing worse then seeing them turn butt out to chase runners while taking arrows/bolts.Change this so that they don't chase after routing units unless the battle is truly over and they'll become a bit more effective (at least reduce their range of prioritizing routed units, so when routed units get X meters away from them they will stop chasing... infantry has no chance of catching routing units anyway).
@AndrewArt dunno if "lord" is a bug:
you carry a banner , have a nice surname so they may assume you are a kind of "lord"
Shielded infantry are pretty decent if you're up against an enemy that doesn't know how to kite or flank with ranged (i.e. any non-Khuzait AI). Especially Empire/Sturgians. AI ranged just stand there usually, you can shieldwall advance towards them and shred them with legionaries... until a single cavalryman runs up behind the enemy infantry, causing them to turn around to chase the new closest target, exposing their backs to a withering hail of arrows.Sarcasm.

i got this 2, tyvm for your solution hope it worksdelete your entire shaders folder and verify files, bet it will fix it
Infantry won't pursue if you give them an Advance order instead of Charge.Besides reworking battanian troops, I have a suggestion that could help infantry in general fare better against ranged. From what I've noticed, crossbowmen decimate the infantry because infantry likes to chase after routed units. Change this so that they don't chase after routing units unless the battle is truly over and they'll become a bit more effective (at least reduce their range of prioritizing routed units, so when routed units get X meters away from them they will stop chasing... infantry has no chance of catching routing units anyway).
OK where is this explained. The current order system is contradictory and vague.Infantry won't pursue if you give them an Advance order instead of Charge.
It isn't explained anywhere, I've just played the game a lot.OK where is this explained. The current order system is contradictory and vague.
