Thanks for your support, i have read your suggestions carefully and for what i have understood you wish to turn M&B into a realistic combat/strategy simulation, but M&B is just a game and it is pretty hard to code most of the time and errors come quickly, just for example:Dustinian said:THANK YOU ALL Mode's for the contributions That SnD's Polished Native uses read all your Names wish to thank you.
My contribution is this . all game play must have balance .Long troop trees are OK but it takes six years to turn out a good Soldier.One or two weeks of basic training can give them basic skills .Most soldiers are not really very healthy if they come from cities.A large portion of military training is physical to build up the body and instill discipline in that they fight with one mind directing them.Good food hard training and time can change a person into a soldier. The time scale in the game is condensed for the Basic fighting men with the NPC taking the time and effort necessary to build up the skills. If all fighting men were to have the same time requirements as the NPC and your avatar I believe it would make for a lot more balance but would make it far harder for players that do not use cheats. I myself use some of the cheats when I want to recruit and equip my units. But I use them in the following way Go to a village and see if their are any recruits that want to join if their is non I go somewere else. when I find some I buy ten peasants from the cheat menu.This is only because I can not customise my troops.I use the equipment cheat to equip them but I also do not equip them if I do not have the Iron for Swords Helmets Shields and Leather for boots.when I equip them that is bumped.For Cavalry I have to purchase the Horses from the cities and bump them as well. In order to carry all this stuff around I needed a pack train. For each hit point on a horse it can carry one weight unit. If my equipment exceeds the carry capacity of my pack units I dump the less valuable items that I can not carry. The Cloth and leather for tents and uniforms the heavy items that Take up little space and give me more weight carrying and so forth.Food and grain is the last thing to go as are the horses which give horse meat from the cheat menu. When traveling in the snow or desert grain is dumped one bag for every five horses in the army per day. If some one could make a mode that would save me a lot of time. If someone could mod and make carts which would carry more supplies that would make a lot more balance to the game. Equipment dose not matter that much its weight is important as is its purpose as long as it is within the area of human endeavour and skills base it can be Incorporated in the game.
As for the Muskets yes they could be Incorporated but the price and time frames need to be expanded as should misfires explosions that kill the user and so forth.The firearms of this period were really only pipes on a piece of wood with hand made powder and a stone the closest thing in the game system is the home made musket in Fire and sword so that should be the best at the top end.It is important that it stayes within the native area of moding as to go to another plateform isolates your modes as unusable by others that are not using your platform.
Hope this is of help and can help a moder in their endeavors.
I will port it to 1.143 ( it's coming soon) and i am waiting for diplomacy 4.0 ( heard a rumor that Waithi and Zparcifal teamed up to make it) once i have them i will port it.Nord Champion said:I love this mod, when will the version be ported to 1.142?
Oh and there's a glitch. I can command troops in a siege, other than that its great!
I know how to had a menu for recruiting troops from catles/towns but it just works for the regular troops... I will work it and see what can be done.Robis said:Suggestion: you may allow recruitment in both villages and towns/castles. Villages recruits should remain with low level equipment and gaining only proficiency points by levelling up, while "regular" troops from towns and castles should start with good equipment and remain iwth it when level up. An elite noble troop would be fine.
ex:
Village. You can recruit "swadian peasant archer", "swadian peasant footman" and " swadian peasant pikeman". They will level up in veteran troops but keeping their equipment, with just a change in propficiency and other stats.
Castle. You can recruit "swadian crossbowman", "swadian infantry" and "swadan knight". They will lvl up in vet. troops but keeping their equipment, that should be of a medium high level.
Town. A noble unit ?
Obviously, wages of regular units should be far higher than peasant ones, forcing a balance in party composition.

For the wage it is easy, warband calculs the wage depending on which level is the unit, if you have a strong unit with low level you still pay less than a weak unit with high level. Just give Nobles High levels.
Ps: Robis aren't you the one who is working on recruiting troops from castles/towns?

Have you enlisted in an army when the glitch occurs?

I reported it to the Freelancer Team i am just waiting for an update...Codename 47 said:This is an amazing mod, I especially like the new animations, but the freelancer mod is not working very well for me. Before the hotfix I couldn't communicate with my commander, but I got armor when I got promoted. After I applied the hotfix the errors stopped and I could communicate with the commander, but now I don't get any armor when I get my equipment, and even at the rank of Swadian Man at Arms I can't use my horse.
Is there a way to fix this?
