How Is It Going?

[lyth99]

I haven't posted here in like 2 months  so i just was playing SoD today and wanted to know how the mod is coming along. Also I really was feeling in the mood to play multiplayer so i wanted to know how thats going? Also i just wanted to know if there is anything someone who cant mod (me) can do to help with the mod? This is by no means a post to make you speed it up and tell you im impatient. I am very patient take your time I mean this could be released The day after Bannerlord comes out and ill still play it cause i know that you guys will make a good mod that will be very fun.

Hey lyth, compy took a long break from the mod for various reasons, he is now in the process of trying to build up the courage to dive back into the code and reacquaint himself with it, in amongst all the othe pressures/time constraints of real life

I continue to badger him to get back to making the greatest mod ever (oh my word the plans!) which fuels his desire to smack me upside my head

So we wait, but the passion for the mod is still there.

Is there a chance Computica could at least add the mercenaries guilds first? It would feel much more complete than waiting for the whole code reorganization and major system overhauls that will take so much more time to do.

 

[LibSpit]

no, because everything is interconnected..

Hah, was just throughly destroyed by a bunch of rhodok crossbowmen. My horse went down, I got my shield up, they blasted through it, got my second shield up, that broke too. Welp. My stupid horsemen were distracted by something and they arrived in time to trample my unconscious self.

aaaaah kuuuuuur SPLAT!

Nothing can beat a long line of rhodok or marinian crossbowmen standing on the top of a hill....at least until they run out of ammo

Flanking with cavalry is a pretty effective tactic against that. 

Balla.

But using fireballs is the best tactic of all

Was lurking looking at all the cool armors/weapons (via cheatmenu :3), just wanted to point out that the Antarian Behemoth Sword is doing the bow animation. Thought I had found out you could shoot two-handers in this mod . If this has already been posted somewhere sorry (Checked on Morghs Editor and yea, bow is ticked... or it's just me).

v3.92f3 btw.

Thanks, sorry about the random post.

 

[LibSpit]

yeah that is known, some of the stuff in the cheat menu was not implemented yet.

Ah, the way fighting between groups is handled on the map is great. 5 Lords VS 7 Lords. I waltz by, and at the end of it there's one lord with a bunch of random guys he rescued left.

Or the Adenians send five lords to track down a group of 30 bandits. And the bandits are victorious because I helped them five times. Sadly, can't kill the bandits now because we're friends due to me "helping" them so much.

I think you missed the part about 'standing on top of a hill'....a flanking cavalry charge stalls as soon as they start climbing the hill, and get shot to pieces.

Sounds great actually , if you change your kingdom settings to make villages infested more often you no longer need to patrol your fief bandits do it for you lol.

You need to abuse the AI slightly. If you have enough people in front, you can indeed climb a hill on their right or left - the AI will not turn and very few of them will be able to shoot directly to the side. This works best with a "friendly" AI that will have its army just walk into the bolts for you. Most ideally you actually go behind them, so your line of horsemen is hitting the crossbowmen all along the line, rather than just one side.

Alternatively, grab a bunch of Imperial/Antarian troops with the UBERboard shields (bronze pavise/antarian infantry shield). Use a maximum loose formation, stand near the enemy's max range. Keep everyone else well back and let the enemy shoot all their crossbows to their hearts content.
