Gameplay feartures that need to be fixed asap!

[cheb]

Everyone can suggest what needed to be fixed first for a better Warband single player experience in this topic 

Here is my list:

1. Looting: Loots from Lords or even Kings is ridiculous. I killed half a thousand troops on the field and got some broken shields and swords? The loot amount should be increased, cause its currently impossible to run a war campaign for long with so low income.

2. Bug: currently you won't get experience or loot when sieging/defending or the villagers help you in battle.

3. Siege: Siege is too buggy. My troops always stuck on the stair not moving and shot down by enemies. Archers will not shoot up if i order them to hold position near the wall. I notice that castles do have gate and tried to push the line in and open the gate but it is impossible to order my troops to go through the open gate. No don't tell me to install the siege mods cause its devs responsibility to fix the game.

4. More bandits spawning point please

1. I think that the current battle loot wouldn't be bad IF you had more fief income. In those times, land was more important than anything. Most of your income should come from your land. As it is now, the best way to get some denars is to grind sea raider parties. Once they fix fief income, I think the loot you get in battle will be enough.

2. I'm sure this will be fixed soon.

3. Sieges haven't been added on to since I started playing, and that was 4 years ago. The fact that the devs haven't even tried to add an extra ladder in all this time is strange and suggest that sieges are unfortunately not one of their priorities for this game. A lot of the restrictions with sieges are very AI related, so the devs need to show the sieges some love for them to get much better. I suggest you fly to Turkey and camp outside the TW office while holding up picket signs and shouting obscenities.

4. I would like more bandit spawn points, but they should take much longer to respawn. Otherwise, it's a full time job just protecting the trade routes of one village. Right now it takes 36 hours to respawn when it should take 3 times that. I think you should be able to clear out an area and have it bandit free for a little while with a lot of effort. As it is now, by the time you kill the last bandit party hovering around your villages the first one you killed will have already spawned back. Unless of course you ctrl click to each party, and that doesn't count because it's cheating. Fortunately, bandit spawn amount and frequency are easy to change. If you don't like messing with text files, go get TweakMB. It lets you change a number of things with a simple GUI.

You can choose the respawn time and number of bandits on the map with TweakMB.

Oh noes! I was ninja'ed! Damn you Crispy ninja...damn you..

Oi! I already mentioned that you bugger! 

 

[Archonsod]

I'm finding doing quests tends to keep the income rolling in, and morale high to boot.

May I ask what kind of quests are they?

 

[Hardeknut]

Just do some trading. That along with ransoming lords is my main source of income. As someone mentioned sea raiders are also quite wealthy (guess being a pirate pays well)

I've always been curious. How do you trade? I could never pull it off.

"Trading," for me, has always been what some might call........ "raiding?" 

 

[Ziji]

By metals/oils/whatever from the Goods merchant, examine nearby prices, sell for profit.

... I know that! It never works... They're always more expensive than I bought them for!

I used tweakMB to boost the amount gained from the melee fights in arenas, lots of money + good melee practice without completely outclassing opponents in gear. You could also raid villages, that makes a ton of cash even with low(non-existent) looting skill.

I only make like ~500/village. That's not a lot :/

Did you sell the loot?

Yesterday I looted my first Warband village. I got Velvet, Spices, Silk and etc. These can all clear a whole towns merchants money stock. I even had to use some of the money to buy stuff because I could not be bothered going to another town.

If things work the same way as before both companions and possible allies get first pick on loot and hog most of it, looting skill offsets that somewhat.

I routinely only get like 1 thing of stretchy leather. Maybe I'm doin' it wrong? :/

 

[Pingupower]

IMo the loot is fine as it is. Income from fiefs is very weak and should be upgraded instead.

What I would rather fix is the buggy quests you get and the marshal status.

This.
Maybe the Condotta salary as well...

Oh, and I'd have thought there would me a more refined ransoming system (à la Rus XIII) _ then again, initially I'd have thought there would have been a lot of more refined stuff: armour, inventory, wounds...

No, the loots is not fine. I bet you haven't tried take over the whole world yet. You will see what i mean when you fought again thousand enemies and get nothing at all.

It depends on the village you loot, some are rich but most are dirt poor.

"Trading," for me, has always been what some might call........ "raiding?"

You should try trading once in awhile,  which is buying stuffs from one town/village and sell it to another one. If you are lucky you could get double or triple benefit.

 

[Pingupower]

No you are right I didn't try to take the whole world.

I Imported my Char from MB classic which I played through many mods and whois quite rich (250k+). So I do not have economic issues. What I do have is inventory issues. I get many rubbish from battles I can sell for a few coins thats all. And it annoys me to travel to a marketplace every day.

If you want to make cash go to the nord coast or defeat high tier enemies, you can make thousands on only a few bands of sea raiders.

Anyway Cash is rather easy to make, exept if you want the full lorldy set+masterwork weapons + 100 Swadian knights pary.


There a more urgent things to fix. Most of the quests are severly buggy.

 

[Bratislav]

i have to say that marshal thing is bugged also
Contrevrsy makes u not gety any fief . And no way u cant keep it low..
Cause u just get penalised, u get no reward for conquring an town/castle, but u get penalty for getting raided village
Needs fixing.
