Possible noob questions

Users who are viewing this thread

I have just recently started playing 1257AD and so far am very impressed and pleased with it. I just have a couple questions I have not been able to find answers to:

1.) I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but are there any tech-trees available?

2.) I do not claim to be a scholar of the early-Renaissance time, but is it intentional that swords are very rare? I think I have found less than two-dozen for sale or in loot and have not yet found a large two-handed sword other than the possible short military cleaver. The character I have been RPing is a German mercenary who uses crossbows, pole-arms, and large swords.
 
1) No
2) Wait a few ingame weeks , things improve. At what part of the map are you searching anyway , equipment change from place to place ? Greatswords are rare in this time frame (mid 13th century). Try passing by markets in Hungary for example.... 
 
Thanks for the tips. I have looked throughout northern Italy and Germany and parts of Poland and hadn't found anything. I'll keep looking.
 
there are no only two handed swords, there is some 1/2 handed sword that deliver 44 damage, the largest damage by sword. (if you want a really good 2 hander, get a long axe,57 damage, can be found in scandinavia :cool: )
 
Thanks for the help so far! One more question, how does one build a manor? I can't find any details about how to start construction.

1.) Can you build one anywhere or does it have to be in a village/town that you own?
2.) Do you simply need to talk to the mayor to build or is it under village management?
3.) Is the manor system simply an overwrite of the vanilla manor house?
4.) Is the manor included in the village scenery or is it off by itself like the ones I have seen so far?

You have been most helpful so far. Thanks!

P.S. Found a hand-and-a-half sword while playing soldier for the English. Happy now. :smile:

You go to your village and there is an option that says, invest in regional manor.
1. you can only build itin your own place, and it places it randomly near your village
2. it is in the village options
3.no
4. it is by itself near the village
