Hi, after migrating to win10, I cannot get M&B classic to work at all, so I tried warband and installed The last days. This is quite a pleasant surprise, this version seems to run better than the 1.011 version, and seems also better than Warband Native. Very impressive work done on optimisation.
Taking a second dive into the mod, and enjoying it very much, I really like what I see.
For the moment no big issues. I found some smaller things though:
1: Elrond's quest: when you start it, the text says you should "disengage", like the player is in battle with him
2: Defeat enemy champions quest. I took this up against Mount Gundabad. I don't know what I should have killed (the log said "orc infantry"), but I defeated 5-6 gundabad patrols, participated in two successful sieges against them, personally slaying 100+ troops in both cases (armored orcs, max level warg riders, trolls, you name it). The faction was defeated afterwards, so there were no gundabad patrols anymore. When the timer ran out, I still had 0 kills registered, and failed of course.
3: when an AI lord dies at a siege, you cannot visit (click on) her gravestone. On my run Miriel died at a siege (I think there, not sure), but I can only click on the ruins, not her grave.
4: in general, I really like the good vs. evil balance of the mod. There is some luck involved (eg. generals die early, when the faction only has three total, which happened to Miriel and Orophin on my last playthrough), which is good for replayability. To be fair, I also had unfair easy games when enemy generals died early so it equals out.
5: the scaling of some quests is a bit off I think. Doing a detour with 9-10 supplies is a nice division, but deliverying 20+ supplies is usually not possible. (when you get that quest, your inventory is filled with food ususally) This is the same with collecting scraps.
edit: forgot about one. 6: siege of East Osgiliath: the attacking Gondor army got stuck. I forgot to take a screenshot, and I do not know how it happened (was busy dueling with 3 trolls at the same time). When I finished the trolls, I just realized that the gondor troops are still being taken out, despite seeing 3 enemies and ~80 gondorians on the counter. I found all gondor troops stuck in the scene, with 3 orcs taking potshots at them. Part of the scene: first room after the initial (mordor held) bridgehead.
I have two questions:
- is there a faction which received not enough feedback/testing? Currently I just finished a game, and plan to start with Beornings, Harad, Corsairs or Khand. I don't know if any of these (or any other really) is in need of testing?
- is there some guide anywhere? I only found outdated ones, but it would be nice to know the faction rewards, or which dunlander/woodsmen units summon animals for example.
Thanks a lot!
