Luck

[Akimba]

Hey all,

I had a look through the search function but couldn't find any previous thread about this, apologies if there already is one.

Basically, I had a look at retirement just to see what it said and it said i had a luck of around 140.

What is this 'luck' and how does it affect game play?

Cheers all

I think it tells you approximetly how lucky your charcter was in life and how well he performed but i dont really know

 

[Menjoo]

Basically the older you get the less luck you have left. When your luck is low there is a chance to actually die (permanently) in battle.
At least it was like this in the original M&B.

So can I hijack the thread really quick and just ask what's the point of retiring?

 

[Menjoo]

Well, not to die? 
It also is the only way to end the game (at least that i know of)
Also you will get some statistics to look at, like how many people you`ved killed and such.

 

[Assassinator1097]

So I guess you only retire once you dominate the world, right? Otherwise you quit too early. ;p

I don't live forever!?!
Warband, your depth never ceases to amaze me 

Dying in battle sounds pretty cool, I think I have a new ambition =p

whaaat? you can permanantly die!?

I thought there only was a chance of stat loss if you get knocked out in a battle after game day 700-something?

Yeah, it's baloney. All it does is give a chance of losing a random stat point permanently. Which is completely lame and retarded. Fortunately there's a tweak.

Also, there is another way to end the game. It's called the Exit button.

My favorite is ALT-F4. Even better is that Ctrl-Alt-F4 is the mass-KO cheat, so if you fudge that you'll just close the game.

I'm going to sneak in here and return this topic from its 182 days of resting 

I was just wondering if anything you do in game has an effect on retirement and what the retirements you can get are?

 

[candyman]

Just about everything you do has an effect my friend

difficulty, how many villages/towns like/hate you, how many places you control, etc

Not sure on what all the retirements are... I can only seem to remember two of them... mind you I don't remember them exactly.

One was something about having just enough gold to buy a plot of land or something to that effect, and I spend my days in the tavern getting drunk and telling stories of my adventures.

The other, and the one I get when I conquer all or almost all of Caladria just gives me a bunch of babble about how I will forever be known as "Lord of [insert town/castle here]" or Count or something I forget exactly what it says.

Or being the semi-successful leader of a faction, yes. I am the King of Unified Calradia and was assigned the Lord of a village (despite holding Dhirim and its 5 attached fiefs). I've since given up on playing fair and have been taking advantage of Swadian Knights on a regular basis. Maybe, one day, Calradia will be unified under my banner.

1. I'm some beggar with no life.
2. I'm a drunk with stories no-one believes.
3. I'm a simple farmer with a decent life.
4. I own a successful inn and tell stories which people love hearing and believe.
5. I'm a minor lord with a village who goes on small and brief campaigns with his king.

I don't know the rest.

Edit:+50 points for first post on page 2!

 

[Ludial]

what's with you and your +50 pts? What are you gonna do with those points? Eat them?

Entertain himself, most likely.

At any rate, I've been spending my money quite faster than I thought according to the retire menu.

The character which I progressed the most got an hereditary title of Ahmmerad, ruling vast fiefs and fortune. It said I become the main adviser of the liege, almost his equal.  One of the most powerful figure in Calradia.

I better be his bloody equal!  I was the one running the show and owning a third of the map when I retired and gave him my job!

Confirmed. There's a lower rank where you get a hereditary title but I don't think you are named top advisor.

EDIT: Ranks are for every 1000 final points.
