Well done you beat me to the punch. I had even forgotten the name of the Silverlode. Must reread TLoTR again as it has been several years since I last did so.
It would had been helpful to me if you had entered game data (as in what game commands you had used) in the course of the battle. Also what day is it as you seem to have a large host. Of course I am not suggesting that you configure you AAR purely as a game aid for me. Just being wistful here.
Well done again. This makes for a nice change. I had tried to read all the posts in this thread, in order to learn how to play the game. Unfortunately the whiny bellyaching of the ungrateful players put me off by page 60. About when the mod was first released, and the babies where throwing their rattles out of the perambulator due to it not playing their favourite tune. Personally I so admire the forbearance of the modders in putting up with these
whiny little *****es
(may my feminist friends forgive my use of the phrase which I promise I have never used before, nor ever shall again). Also may St. Aloysius Gonzaga (the patron saint of gamers in my opinion) forgive my defiling of this thread with such words, but I was so enraged by such ingratitude. Maybe we should put the modders up for beatification as exemplars of sufferance.
Anyway now I have to crack on with my own AAR, and I still don't understand the game. What I'd give for a decent guide. I have no idea why one should station troops anywhere for example.
To make room in the party for better ones, to gain cash RPs and a bit of gratitude.... Is why you sell troops to a garrison.
I have 35 horse plus 18 archers, all high tier.
The enemy host was morian goblins, 215 strong.
Basically, I spread my troops out, and hold their fire until I can see my own ( ranging shots ) arrows making the distance.
Then I order all fire, archers to charge, and infantry to follow.
When you order archers to charge, they don't- they provide saturation fire.
So I just pace slowly forward with them, the infantry will stay with me. Every so often I advance the horse ten paces. When the enemy are about 20 paces away I charge the cavalry.
Depending on how hard the enemy is, I will regroup several times during a battle. One advantage we as player have is this, as it means your troops don't get picked off one by one or in small groups by overwhelming enemy numbers.
The other advantage is character export-import.
No point fighting the war of the ring if you have no leadership skill....
To get my non fighting character started I have loaded and reloaded until he got some easy tasks in the first few days. I had miscalculated the pace of the game and now realise that this was unnecessary.Especially once I had found out about training my character. (As I am rather poor at the first person combat). Also, as I had already started this game, This First chapter is more of a "the story so far"
Chapter 1
Summoned from Imladris, Senni Treborius the half elven approached Lord Elrond's camp with trepidation.
What dire tasks awaited him as the dark shadow waxed in the east. As a scholar and student of military history what use could he be in this war he thought as he looked down at the cracked Rivendell archer's sword that the quarter master had allocated to him with a wry smile.
Senni approached the dour faced Dunedain supply master and requested some cram rations, to eke out his lembas, and then offered his services to the camp master.
The camp master ask Senni to carry some supplies to the Lothlorien glade at Cerin Dolen which he eagerly agreed to with delight at the prospect of visiting the fair lands of the gilded wood. As he was leaving Halbarad (one of Elrond's lieutenants) called him aside and requested that he deliver a letter to chief Grimbeorn at Beorn's house.
Senni wondered at the beauty of the gilded wood in the morning mist.
Soon he arrived at Cerin Dolen and delivered the supplys to the Lorien Lore Master there.
The Lore Master asked if he could accompany some refugees to the Woodelf Camp which he was glad to do. And then he travelled on to deliver Halbard's letter to chief Grimbeorn
who in turn asked him to carry a letter to Hladir at Caras Galadhon.
On delivering the letter Haldir asked him in return to deliver a letter to Beranor Blackfur at the Woodsmen Village. On leaving the Caras Galadhon Lore Master requested that he find 3 items of food for Caras Galadhon.
he returned to Cerin Dolen where the lore Master rewarded me for escorting the refugees to Woodelf Camp. There he also found some fish.
Upon his return to Rivendell Camp he acquired some beef and some cram for the Caras Galadhon Lore Master who rewarded him generously for this, which allowed him to purchase a saddle horse from Cerin Amroth Returning to Caras Galadhon the Lady gave him a quest to scout Dol Guldur
after which he delivered the message from Haldir to Beranor
who in turn gave him a message for Elland in Rivendell Camp.
On his journey back to the camp Senni felt a longing to once more gaze upon the countenance of the fair lady. She smiled upon him and he was glad until her next words filled him with dread
He a scholar in a fight with a killer of a royal bodyguard. He had given his word to the Lady, but what was he to do.
Here I pause for suggestions from more experienced players
Could someone here help me to restore a corrupt savefile I was getting kinda far into the game and I don't have the patience to start a new character I can't do the backup rename thing because I was dumb enough to start a new save to see if it was game problem or save problem. Well the problem I have is that no matter what I do when I log in to my save it crashes at the very exact time, if someone here knows how to fix it please help me and if you could learn me to send the savefile here on the forum i could do so to because i have the corrup one on my desktop
Dear Affex
From what I have read, there is no way to restore a corrupted save. One should always "save as" into a separate slot each time and rotate those saves.

Day 4 of game
To the developers. I seem to have encountered a strange bug. When I go into Training at Caras Galadhon I am unable to exit the training screen. Leaving merely loops me back to the trainer.
edit: please note that I had not recruited any troops at this time (one of the on screen options).
Invest in leadership upgrades. Attack wild goblins and orcs. Try to select those with minimal wargriders, as the wolves will attack you even after the rider is dead. Effectively makes them a double count.....
Archers will be very useful to you, since the enemy do not have many heavily armoured troops.
Mind you, they do have shields - so recruit a couple of shield-breaking tanks too.
You're an elf, I think, so stay clear of the dwarves for now.... Otherwise you might end up with new enemies you don't need!

Thank you for your helpful recommendation.
Yes I'm an Elf. I will take your advice after I can manage a bit of training training which seems glitched FTM.
Oh i get it well then i will reinstall it because it is an awesome mod and then be careful with my savefile thanks a lot anyways man !! never thought someone would answer though it is an really old game i remember i played it as Little (I am 15 now ;P)
Oh and i Think last time i installed i only installed the ''warband patch'' because it was on top of the list (no hate im not born to use computers i guess) xD
Edit: Also could someone send me links for exactly what i need i had enhanced version of M&B is that right? and so on if you could send links here it would really help me!

I found this useful: http://www.moddb.com/downloads/tld-manual-v33
Are you using MaB (mount and blade) or MABW (Mount and Blade Warband)?
And are you using a steam version? The front page here is rather out of date.
Edit: Actually read Mr Milkers post below he is incredibly helpful.

In addendum I should note that I also leveled up in the training screen, which may have been a mistake
Edit: Did an experiment from an earlier save.
Recruited troops first and then did some training, still couldn't exit. Had not raised a level either.
Could it be something with the gog download?
Will reinstall gog version and then all of 1.011 then TLD 3.3 and the nightly. To see if that will solve the problem.
So Gondor rank 8 reward, Sword of Westernesse mesh is apparently missing: its model is invisible, and whenever i go into inventory screen it gives "Unable to find mesh 1h_westernesse" error. I am using latest nightly patch on warband version. Hope it will be fixed in next nightly patch, if it's even coming.
Thanks a lot guys i will install this while i do my physics ;D very helpful i find it difficult Reading all manuals and stuff like more when it is direct links and just do this and this xD maybe cuz im Dumb or maybe the same reason i like maths strict
and also I don't use warband so i'll just skip the warband compat file ?
Well, decided to give the newest version a go, downloaded a whole thing, compat patch, nightly build, everything extracted... anyone know what I may be doing wrong? It looks like whichever race or alignment I wouldn't choose, winning the battles doesn't yield any experience, morale, renown or loot
I have the same issues with Loot since I installed the last nightly build patch. Weird enough, if I let my troops fight it off on their own; then I get loot. I do not seem to have issues with experience, morale or renown thought.
There is a weird blue fog when I enter Edoras, almost like I'm underwater. Is there a fix for this? Playing with the Warband compatibility patch and Nightly patches.
