Pedric
Recruit
Short version. Please help me to set up a character that is almost entirely support with only enough combat skills to survive the occasional random fights.
Long version:
I would like my character to be king someday, but not have to personally fight. I would appreciate suggestions on how to set up such a character.
The reason for the request is that Warband makes me sick in the literal sense. It is simulator sickness. Playing this game gives me motion sickness symptoms. The biggest aggravation to the simulator sickness is having the attack and defense movements tied to the camera. Every attack or block requires a quick change in the camera view because the mouse controls the camera and the attacks. The camera angle itself causes me simulator sickness, but I could play with a fixed camera angle if I am not involved in combat. (I would prefer the camera further behind my character, too. But those in Hell are still waiting for their ice water.)
I have come to the conclusion that the only way I can play this game for more than a few minutes at a time is to have my character act as a leader, only, and not as a combatant. I have not been playing long but built up a 100% mounted force of 36 with 7 heroes and 29 cavalry. I am the bane of bandits everywhere, except desert bandits who are still too fast to catch. My character is set up for combat and despite my being a spazz, the character does OK in combat, even winning a tournament (after a gazillion retries). It is just that the more combat I am in, the sicker I feel.
I have some ideas that I should concentrate on the leadership skills like tactics and strategy and adding training, of course.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
(Regretably, the simulator sickness completely removes any possibility of playing multi-player. I used to play Battlefield and Operaton Flashpoint multi-player and the thought of medieval multi-player excited me. I can still enjoy the single player game once I am able to create a "leader" character)
