all they need is to gove bow + lance a alternate weapon like a short sword (least then you can block)

Definitely support something like this.. nothing is more annoying than losing the tournament because you're put up against some king/hero guy in the last round (you know, the guys that have 300-400 weapon skill) who's outfitted with a sword and board and/or horse and you start off with some crappy bow. Hell, even crossbowmen get the shortsword, archers should too. Frankly, as much as on one hand I'd love to pick the gear and kick ass all the time I also like the current aspect of forcing you to be at least familiar with a variety of weapons. To me, only real changes that need to happen are - give archers shortswords and let you choose your own equipment in the last battle of the tournament (the final). Also, perhaps there could later on be a system (if there's time for that) to let you, as you gain renown pick your own gear in all battles (but still I'd rather that it stays tournament gear, not player's gear, apart from, perhaps, in the final).

BraveheartA7X Read carefully the list of this mod features.
And yes, odd trees are a bug.

Inclusion of movement by sea. The more companion mod I know was able to put this in.

hi
I have been playing and its good, but i agree with some of the others i would prefer to have the native vanilla factions troop trees, the new ones are huge and a bit unnecessarily complicated, but other than its brilliant!! I havent had any errors yet either

I'm sorry if my suggestion was already posted, but i'm too lazy/sleepy right now to check out, cuz its 4 am in the morning right here.

-- Will you add formations to your mod??
that would make a great change.
This is the best mod I've ever played yet on warband, thank you.

Eh, I for one LIKE the troop trees, sure I think (as I have already posted) that they need some tweaking and balancing still and yeah, I don't like the french-english mash-up swadia, but it's FAR better than the downright lame and poor troop selection in the vanilla game + it's actually challenging now as you have a LONG way to go to get the skills of top tier troops, unlike vanilla where you started outclassing them even in stats (player skill aside) quite early on.

Not yet, but I think Monnikje said he would make a patch

Played Prophesy of Pendor a bit, so few interesting moments from it:
- Archery nerf. Reduce bow's accuracy to 85, crossbow's to 90. I know, all this sniper badasses (80% of players) will start shouting, but you still can be a sniper, you just need good powerdraw and archery ~400. With that nerf, in order to snipe bots from a horse, you have to become a dedicated archer. Btw, with deathcam staying alive till the end of the battle becomes less essential. If you will nerf it, dont forget to increase troops archery skill.
- Minor factions. Quite similar to my previous suggestion about bandit armies - sometimes there spawn armies, like 1000 rebels, cultists and so on. Make the game more interesting.
- Some rebelious knights. Gives you valuable loot, but damn, they are really tough.

I think that it would be easier to create a new mod with all this, than to put all mentioned above in the Floris mod

 

[John Forseti]

I have to agree that the overhauled troop tree seems a tad overly large and complicated and each faction having native-language names does not help you to understand them, everytime I want to upgrade troops or fight a large battle with a faction I have to look at the upgrade tree(which seems to take a good 30 or so second to load up each time you switch between factions). An option for future versions as to having an updated default tree or your completely overhauled version would be very appreciated.


Also, I noticed from the troop trees that you've given the Swadians a mostly English theme and the Rhodoks an Italian theme, you could then change their Lord titles from "Count" to "Earl" and "Doge" respectively. Also, would it be possible to have the Khergit nobles have their title shifted to the front like the other factions? I like each factions characters being grouped together on the character list.

 

[braven5]

I love the new troop tree, adds more depth and detail and nice troop progression, but a patch to gove native back to thos that prefer that would be nice, just as long as not strip back what we got for those us who like the new trees

 

[monnikje]

Actually, I made a native trooptree compatible in this version, just check the Download page.

Also, I renamed the rhodok counts to conte (the Italian name for counts), but that's only visible in new games. Shifting the Khergit names is a good idea: somthing for a next version.

Just to balance things out a little, after being initially reluctant to the new names in native languages, I've got used to it and it's not really disturbing anymore. I for one think Monnikje's troop tree is lot more interesting than native and that having troops that take a lot longer until they reach the last tier is more fun. I'm not sure the AI makes the most of it though, they seem to mostly use low-tier troops, which might make things a bit unbalanced once you have a maxed out party.

Yes, it seems while I was writing my reply you posted the update. Meaning as soon as I had posted my issue had already been resolved.

Oh I didn't really mind so much that the tree is longer and branchier(although from first impressions some of the branches seem to lead down redundant roads or try to balance away a factions speciality), just that personally I don't find the added flavour of the native language names compensates for having to look them up all the time until they sink in. Some people can memorise it really quick so it's not a problem and some people find putting that effort in more rewarding, but neither of those are me, basically its just a matter of personal taste, and I am grateful that my taste can now be catered for.
