Max Kingdom Clan Limit

I can’t seem to get any more than 21 clans in my kingdom(including me). I just get hit with the “I’m happy with my current liege” every time. Is 21 the limit? submitted by /u/Appropriate_Coach_19 [link] [comments]

My fief keeps getting raided

I’m a vassal if the Rhodoks and I am fairly out of the way of the Sarranids, who we are at war with. However, I am the only village they ever raid. So I am poor. How do I fix this and why do they do this? Submitted February 27, 2019 at 08:59AM by ok_buddy_gamer https://ift.tt/2ECuHXB

Composing a Byzantine army.

Hi! So I got this idea that I want to roleplay a bit, and it would be cool to go Byzantine (i.e the whole restore the Empire mentality, going balls out on Sarranids and perhaps Khergits as well) Really something like Belisarius, but in Caldaria (yes, I am a history buff, but you should look him up, he’s cool) I would want to do my stuff as faithfully as possible (which is quite low probably, but hey, it’s all for fun), so I would want to ask you a couple of questions. 1) Which units should I try and get to my army to have a Byzantine army composition of the game’s timeframe nailed as close to correct as possible (and how much of each). I am thinking Nord Huscarls for the Varangian guard, perhaps Mamluks for the Cataprachts etc. 2) Where to start and who to serve in the beginning to make getting this army easier? Thanks if you can answer, I know I might be asking a lot and this might be quite a weird request, but it would help a lot:) Submitted February 27, 2019 at 12:57AM by O

Why is morale so fuckin low all the time?

Okay so, I just led a rebellion to put Isolla on the throne of Swadia. It went pretty well. So now I’m just some Swadian lord, and I’m fighting her war against the Khanate, and for some reason, everyone in my exclusively Rhodock and Swadian party fucking hates me. The report says I have like -74 morale from recent events, which seems like bullshit to me, because we have really recently won like 5 battles, two of which were massively successful sieges of castles, and one of which was a massively successful siege of a city. What the fuck gives???? Submitted February 26, 2019 at 09:40PM by The_Captain_Jules https://ift.tt/2H5lkRO

[Floris Evolved] Tournament Play Enhancements

This is a copy paste of a thread I started on Steam. If it looks familiar... So I've been trying to figure out how to get the various versions of everything (modmerger, floris evolved, patches, morghs, item editor, etc) to work together for one single purpose: to modify how the tournaments work. I am really enjoying almost everything about the expanded tournament system, with one exception: I should not be one shot for 130 damage from a single swing of a staff by a guy running backwards away from me. I'd like to go in and modify the values for the overpowered AF opponents. Has anyone successfully done this? I'm using the most current (lol) version of Floris evolved. I figured out what to edit in the tournament_*.py files in the source kits, but ran into a thousand problems with merging those changes with the rest of my working Floris Evolved. In short, I'm hoping someone has already done this, ideally just by editing the text files (because I believe modmerger might

Has anyone tried a mercenaries-only playthrough?

I'm thinking it'll be cool to do a playthrough where I travel around doing tournies and using the winnings to buy mercs at the taverns. The wiki says that the fully upgraded infantry mercs aren't too bad, and the cavalry ones are okay, so hopefully this might work. Conquering Swadia would be easy at least.

I missed this game so much.

Recently I purchased Warband for PS4 because playing it on PC is currently not an option. It took some getting used to given the different controls but pretty soon hours passed and I was once again engrossed in all that Calradia had to offer. It’s been years since I played last. The nostalgia that came rushing back was an incredible feeling. Goddamn did I miss this game. Submitted February 26, 2019 at 05:20PM by williegumdrops https://ift.tt/2ToyNek

What do you want to see in Bannerlord?

Personally I would like it if playing as a fulltime bandit or highwayman. Setting up ambushes, harassing villages, demanding tolls from caravans. In Breytenwalda it is almost possible, but the ambushes don't feel like ambushes. I would love to see maps where the enemy isn't aware of you presence and drives down a road and your men wait in the surrounding woods until you give the order to attack. I don't know if that is even possible, but it would be so fun playing some kind of Robin Hood character. What would you like to see in the game?

The great quest

You are a veteran from the great wars... your fellow comrades have died in your arms. You have seen the gods ride with you into battle. You have fought for your lord since you met him while you both were captured in malayburg castle. You have finally been declared a count. You ride to your village with a smile, but on the way, the marshal calls for you. You find him near the capital. You accompany him to an enemy castle. He asks for you. You ride remembering everything you have done. He looks you straight in the eye when you talk to him, and he says...

I made a "Bannerlord When?" Website

Hi! I'm a backend developer who has started to do some frontend since it's a hell of fun to play with design etc. I started this project just to learn some basic stuff but also to have a good homepage to land on when I open my browser. With this page I can now realize the agony and pain I feel each time I understand that there is no Bannerlord yet.

Glory Days - Calradic Campaign #38

The fate of the north will be decided. Every preparation has been made. The forges of Reyadin roar with every bardiche crafted, the men drill and march with every waking moment, and the grain stores are nearly at a positive number. The troops will be fighting for something larger than themselves, their king, or even the late Yaroglek. They will be fighting for their home. King /u/Saultnami has planned this day for months. Thanks to his previous capture of Tehlrog and Knudarr , the Rock of Rivacheg stands ripe for the retaking. The Boyars have been briefed, the banners called, and all that remains is the final confrontation against the Nordic menace. King /u/Smug_Alpaca of the Nords is no stranger to warfare, and fully intends to defend Rivacheg to the last man. The occupation of the city serves as a reminder of both Nordic superiority, and Vaegir embarrassment. Although the Nords have been put on the back foot following their territories seized from them, a cunning logistics plan

I've got ~250 hours in Warband, but for some reason I never thought to look up guides of how to play the game.

I Made a Mount & Blade Warband Quick Reference Sheet

As the title says, I made a Quick Reference Sheet for Warband because I love the game and had a bunch of 'free' time. It mostly contains information that I've found I keep forgetting, minor details and QOL reference info. There's a link to the file down below but first I'll go through what it contains, along with credits for information where possible. This is mostly to give you time to prepare your eyes - it isn't the most beautiful document.   Contents of Sheet Personalities of the 8 fixed personality lords of each faction (game start only) [1] Companion tables for party likes/dislikes, an emissary loop and stable groupings.

[TLD] Thanks, you bastards...

So here I was, taking a peek at the latest Nightly build (you horrid monsters) thinking myself cured of my old-turned-new TLD crush, when I decide to do a custom battle, just for shits and giggles. And lo!, where was I entrapped (you fiends)? In a new battle scene where I fight side by side with my dwarven brothers to the death, trying to defend a fortress from incoming, and unstoppable waves of foul orcs. Oh, but not only that. I am under the improvised command of a named character.. who asks bloody questions about my past, and gives me death tools accordingly. If I didn’t love you guys, I’d certainly hate you. Now, of course (of course!), I just have to make a campaign character sharing that commander’s surname and with a desire to avenge those that have wronged the earthkin.

Dickplomacy Reloaded - Broken Custom Troops

Every time I create custom troop trees in Dickplo Reloaded, the weapon proficiencies are always completely screwed up. For example, even when I have a multitude of proficiency points left, it says something like: "cant raise proficiency higher than that of (broken item name or name of troop i'm currently upgrading)".

My thoughts on the Bannerlord release date as a suffering Team Fortress 2 player.

TF2 was for a time, the FPS class based multiplayer to play, and it's impact on online culture cannot be overstated, beyond just the game itself but the comedic culture that sprang from and was built around it was and still is, titanic and a landmark in Internet history. However in recent years TF2 has fallen into neglect and abandonment as it became obvious that the game is shortstaffed and, due to Valve's unique management, few people are apparently keen to work on and upkeep an eleven year old mess of code and balances. The few people working on the game (estimated to be between 8-15+) have tried to push through a few updates but each one more poorly implemented than the last. Matchmaking was and still is, an abject disaster that still hasn't been fixed or properly balanced as certain game elements are so hardbaked that it'd upset the entire meta if they were implemented. A certain class was changed to the point where they were broken and then had to be changed

My First Kingdom.

I am fairly new to mount and blade. I started playing about a month ago and joined Swadia. I had to work hard to make a name of myself in Swadia (choose the weaker backstories) and it took a very long time for Swadia to even Hire me as a Merc. However, for some reason my name grew very quickly. I quickly became a vassal and within one game day I had the city of Halmar! (I am assuming you first start off with fiefs and castles before a city) I had the city and two fiefs. however, in my game, Swadia is long and thin, and my city was cut off (at the time both Dhirim and Uxkhal were not Swadian), basically making my fiefs and city cut off from each other. My fiefs were also at all different corners of the Kingdom, and always either on the border or already in enemy territory. It made it hard when marshals would call, or to finish quests, or defend my fiefs, because they were all so far apart from each other. Soon, when I went to defend a fief, my city was also taken. I had nothing now.

Warbands has the best faction sandbox ever.

Could you imagine if fantasy rpgs adopted this system? I, a console peasant, have been playing Warbands for a bit now and I am in love. For starters, fuck its hard. I know. I know. I just suck.

Grand Taleworlds Conspiracy 2: Release Date Subject to Illuminati Plot?

We are rapidly approaching my predicted 12/12/19 release date for Bannerlord. ( Theory here ) However, I made one fatal flaw in my calculations. I assumed that by not having a publisher, Taleworlds would launch the game when they feel it is ready, however there are many more players than I had originally realized. Is it possible that Taleworlds own Armagan Yavuz is actually George R.R. Martin being puppeted by the Illuminati and Keanu Reeves? You shall be the judge of that after this post. Setting First, let's start out with the foundation since this might be a bit much to take in all at once. We are all familiar with the world of Mount & Blade: Warband with its seven factions, the Khergit Khanate, Kingdom of Nords, Kingdom of Rhodoks, Sarranid Sultanate, Kingdom of Swadia, Kingdom of Vaegirs, and the player created kingdom. One faction in particular, the Kingdom of Swadia, is of note. They are led by King Harlaus who gained his throne by stealing it from the previous dyna

[1257 AD] What goal can I set myself to enjoy this mod

I love the concept and the content of this mod, because of how realistic it is, but because of the lance recruitment system I don't really have any goal. I can enlist in someones army, but it gets boring fighting someone else's fights for a long time and the fights are usually very one sided. I can become a vassal of a faction and that's fine, but I feel like I don't get anywhere in this mod using that method. I've also tried going solo, but fights on the ground is too easy and sieges are impossible with an army of 200 men, because of the large amounts of soldiers in castles and keeps. ​ Any advice?

[ACOG 6.2] Freelancer units unarmed?

Hey, I am fairly new to the game. I recently captured Lannisport and Casterly Rock. I put some money in the recruiting pocket (800 for each recruitment) and got me some 200 garrison units, which all are some type of Freelancers for some reason. Now, all of them are unarmed and wearing this stripe clothing and gloves, nothing else. I mean, regardless of their class, elite man-at-arms , mounted sergeant, bowman, anything really comes with the same outfit unarmed. Maybe I am missing something? Do I really need to recruit troops at villages (like 10 at a time) and micro manage them into the castle? Or do I need to build a training yard or something?

Just talked my way out of certain death with a vassal of Kingdom of Swadia

The Nords (the kingdom I'm a vassal of) declared war on Swadia. So my first decision was to besiege a castle because I wanted to level my soldiers up, as well as wanting to see if I can start a rebellion (by the way, I've really been struggling to do this. Any help would be appreciated lol). After taking the castle, I see directly next to me Count something or other from Swadia coming at me. So my character being the charismatic rogue he is, got to him before he did and struck up a conversation. I somehow managed to, before he attacked me, to persuade him to leave the Kingdom of Swadia and join the Nords, avoiding certain death. I'm still surprised I managed it.

[VC]Are there any drawbacks to bad rep other than opinion hit with honorable lords?

Playing story mode, just after landing the great heathen army in Britain when Northumbria is at war with 15 factions is the most fun I've had in warband. Boarding every caravan within spotting radius without consequence (apart from -1 with their patron lord) is much more fun than raiding villages/monasteries and basically ridding yourself of recruitment opportunities. Problem is, Halfdan has become quite a pussy after the story ended so the privateer lifestyle isn't quite as action packed anymore. Am I gonna regret going solo and just tanking the reputation hit taking out caravans without state of war? Fixing factions relations can be done by swearing fealty later on, right?

Khergit Commanders: How do you command your troops? [Native]

Any good strategies or tips? Like what are the actual commands you tend to issue? I finally started a Khergit only playthrough. It's been great so far, although I haven't had to siege yet... The battles tend to be chaos and fast paced horse archery is very satisfying when you get good at it. I basically divide my troops into two groups: Lancers, consisting only of Lancers plus half my companions geared for charging; and Archers, consisting of every other Khergit troop type and the other half of my companions geared for horse archery. At the start of a field battle I typically send Lancers off ahead to the right and Archers off ahead to the left then charge everyone in a pincer attack. It seems to work pretty well. The wiki mentions that you shouldn't charge horse archers since their melee capabilities are rubbish, but they actually tend to stick to bows and hit and run from what I've seen so far? What other commands can I even issue them? I tried telling them to follo

A thing I noticed about hunting Noldor for the Ebony Gauntlet. (PoP)

A single Noldor patrol will net me somewhere between 15-20,000 points, while a Noldor lord's army will gain me roughly 100,000 points. If I engage a Noldor patrol, while still at 0 points earned, before an army, that army will now only net me another 20,000 points, just like any patrol, a drop of 80%.

I figured a fun way of playing the game kinda differently. Thought it'd be fun to share

In short, the idea is the same as the idea of a 'nuzlocke' in Pokemon. A set of self-imposed rules to create a challenge or just a different experience. There's two things this idea incorporates - Freelancer and for an enhanced experience, Doghotel's Brainy Bots mod. It works in every mod that incorporates Freelancer (works better with mods that incorporate formations too however), and you can enable Brainy Bots on every mod too. Or you should be able to. Anyhow what is this, and why is it different from what you usually play? Well for starters, I have dubbed it "Mount & Blade, the poor and realistic(ish) little soldier experience" , and the name gives an indication to what you can expect. It's basically a set of self-imposed rules to make playing in Freelancer seem like a realistic experience. You can almost truly feel like you are a poor little conscript, trapped in a war you'd rather avoid. I have also taken steps to make it as realistic and

I've been playing since the first M&B but I never fully grasped how heroes interact with each other, but I did notice that the "Noble" heroes (Lezalit, Alayen, Nizar...) tend to leave you once you obtain a lot of renown since you are now more noble than them, they also quarrel more with the others.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Mount and Blade: Warband

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Mount and Blade: Warband. The combat is extremely intuitive, and without a solid grasp of medieval sparring techniques most of the combat will go over a typical players’ head. There's also Harlaus’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this game, to realize that it’s not just the best game ever made- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Mount and Blade: Warband truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the wording in the ruffians existential catchphrase "Less talking, More raiding!" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated

What's the worst castle to take?

Curious what's the most cancerous castles, so I know to just auto-resolve them, casualties be damned. Popped in my head to ask when I tried to take Rindyar castle with some beefy Nords. First time through, we broke through, but because I died I couldn't unstick my Nords from some Swadians who fell onto some wood, and they just stood there looking angry at eachother while archers/crossbows whittled at my men. Second time through, half my army couldn't even path correctly up the ladder. Submitted February 15, 2019 at 12:35AM by Lesurous http://bit.ly/2GsYNz2

Top 10 bruh moments.

When Harlaus keept the feast going even though Dhirim was besieged When Jeremus was knocked unconcious. When he turned out be a manhunter. When the Sea Raiders pulled out their longbows. When autoresolve killed 3 of your Swadian Knights against 5 looters. When the village elder wouldn't tell you the location of a wanted criminal. When you got killed by a broken vodka bottle in Napoleonic Wars. When severe weather damaged Trannan (Snekkja). When you pulled out a javelin in the tavern. When Bannerlord got announced.

Performance issues - Pendor. Help!

Hey Butterlords, So recently upgraded my PC. I have been trying to ignore and forget M&B for a year as it hurts too damn much. Anyway I caved and started a game on Pendor.. My issue is the performance is shite. Old pc could run huge battles no problem, the new one I get constant stuttering in battles! I'm guessing it is because of the poor multi thread optimisation but I'm wondering what the latest advice is to regain buttery smooth playing. Specs - 1070ti, 2600x, 16gb ram and running on SSD. What I have tried dropping battles to 200 forcing single core use every graphics combination available running on direct 7 Anyone got any suggestions for what I can try next to get rid of battle stutter? I just want to drink from the skulls of my enemies. :( Submitted February 14, 2019 at 05:16AM by Lukeyboy5 http://bit.ly/2GmCmva

What mod do you believe is the best or always come back to when starting a new save?

I have played most of the mods available but I have to say prophecy of Pendor is probably the most fun I have had as I think its well balanced and well thought out. Unit wages are not too bad and it has extra content when you've already established a strong kingdom rather than the only thing worth doing is taking over the map. ​ I love the ASOIAF books but struggled to get into any of the mods available due to the really high unit expenses and I struggled to enjoy it, though the armour and actually textures within the universe is really well made and well worth it if you can get into it.

Which lesser known mods do you think deserve more attention?

Threads about the differences between acok and awoiaf or pendor and perisno appear every few days on this sub. You also have lots of remembers about the last days mod and the various different vesions of a medieval europe. Floris, di(ck)plomacy and silverstag are also mod names which appear nearly daily as own thread. Which mods do you think deserve more attention from the community and why? A little summary like setting, features, troop trees and so on is also welcome. Submitted February 13, 2019 at 08:32PM by bristius321 http://bit.ly/2GF6Nfy

(Floris)Is there any indicator to when soldiers will level up?

As far as I can tell, the exp/next level numbers are static for each troop type. So is there any way to know when soldiers will lvl up? It'd be fantastic to know when that lone Man-at-Arms is going to reach his true potential. If there isn't, no worries - he's definitely leveling up soon! Yep, any day now.

Weird grey hair bug in Napoleonic Wars

Hi, I'm having this weird grey hair bug in Napoleonic Wars. A Friend of mine who's in my regiment has a character with brown hair, but very very small strands of grey hair. However, when I play Napoleonic Wars his hair and beard are completely grey. In other mods he has regular brown hair with the grey strands though. Anyone know what kind of bug this is and how I can fix it? Thanks! Submitted February 13, 2019 at 02:33PM by Odinskriger http://bit.ly/2GHykgf

YALQ (Yet another loadout question) for Warband (native)

I like equipping myself and the companions for mounted combat, but I can't quite make head and tails of the which loadout to choose. The main problem for me is that changing every companions equipment frequently is both the best performing, and by far most annoying, solution, plus it would require A LOT of inventory space. Main-character For the main character, I prefer shield + light lance + bow, as I like couched attacks, switching to a 1h weapon for close-quarters. Sadly, during random encounters (ambush when entering city, biligerent drunks), this leaves me with an inefficient weapon. While not a real problem, except for very early in the game, it creates a choice between "not fun" combat situations and very frequent "not fun" item switching. With heavy armor and charger mount, 1H/2H weapons become a viable, albeit subjectively less fun, option. However, when playing at full difficulty, survivability suffers a lot. Companions Mostly this comes down

More substance

I wish the vanilla of warband had more interesting choices and things to do. Like throwing a party for your troops after a fierce battle,prompting your troops to generals or captains giving them things to do like solving petty disputes,Telling you when the food is about to run out etc. More interesting dialogues and more situations when talking to lords. Lords being more reactive to the things you do. Like some of the lords of the same faction dont know me even though i caputured kings and sieged many castles and won. Being able to kill lords or kings.The option to tortue or rape prisoners. The option to send dead lords bodies to their fraction to lower their morale. The ability to canbalize dead enemies and to leave some survivors so they can spread the word of your atrocities. To really feel like a evil warlord. Theres sooo much potential with this franchise to make it feel more like the real middle ages.warband is still a fun game but it can be much deeper. Bannerlord will be m

Are people actually able to play Warsword Conquest: WoM?

I see a lot of recommendations for Warsword Conquest. I figure they're referring to the new beta. I was very excited for it but I found it crashed constantly once I had gunpowder units (which were a major draw for me). Made a couple posts on the caravanserai thread but it's fairly dead, so thought I'd try my luck here. Is there either a new patch or maybe some secret I'm not aware of? I am on the steam version. I was unsure if I had installed WSE properly, but it seemed to function properly other than the crashes. Submitted February 12, 2019 at 03:10AM by CheekiBreekiIvDamke http://bit.ly/2MZZOyL

PoP: Bow vs Crossbow for CKO?

Assuming strength 40, 10 power draw, 600 in all proficiencies. Given the setups: Noldor composite bow 2 x Noldor arrows And Mettenheim Crossbow 2 x Mettenheim Bolts Which one would be better for my CKO in most situations? If unit stats were 30% lower (Sergeants), which one would be better in most situations given the same gear but one less quiver?
