Tactics to win any battle with aserai as southern empire

Make a elite cataphract force of 50 than charge them to their horse division. Elite cataphracts are superior in all ways. Then, charge the horses on to the pikeman and archers then charge the soldiers and arrows. Dont forget that these has to be mostly legionaries. I hope my tips help. submitted by /u/Visible_Tax7920 [link] [comments]

Today would be the perfect day for TW to announce Bannerlord release date

We've been waiting for an official release announcement for ages. It would be absolutely amazing if Taleworlds told us when the game will be releasing on April 1st because no one would believe it. Little would we know that it would be the actual release date. Submitted April 01, 2017 at 02:40AM by GingerTron2000 http://ift.tt/2ntcnVT

My companions defect when I try to rescue them

So I lost a battle to the Vaegirs pretty bad (hadn't gotten my Sarranid army up to proper "full cavalry army" status yet) and all of my male companions--Bunduk, Jeremus, Firentis, Bashestur, and Alayen--got captured and thrown in Radoghir Castle. I figured I'd run in, punch the guard, and break them out. Everything went swimmingly until I got them out of the building. When I leave and put on my armor and weapons, all of them also leave the building (even if I tell them to stay back until I'm ready to leave with them) and are seemingly not on my side and not on the enemy side at the same time. If I get close to them they attack me but the guards pincushion them. I've staged 3 jailbreaks and they've all gotten killed every time. What's going on? How do I fix this? I reeeeeally don't want to have to recapture the castle or ransom them all off. If it's any help, I'm playing as a female character, in case that sets off some kind of weird bug....

[PoP] early tips?

Hey guys, Just downloaded PoP, I'm not a super experienced player, so I know PoP will probably wipe me in the beggining. Anyone have tips/things I should be on the lookout for?

[PoP] Need some advice for my Kingdom

I came back to my old save and I'm kind of unsure what to do next. I'm in a good situation right now (I think) so my next move will be very important. I started out as a mercanary and then vassal for Sarleon. Eventually I rebelled and it went really good, I crushed the whole kingdom without much trouble and recruited all my old friends to my side. At the moment I have 10 lords, all of them honorable or martial and about a 1000 soldiers in total. We own Laria, Sarleon, Cez, Windholm and some castles. My own party is 264 in size and really strong, I could take on a much much larger regular army by myself and probably siege any city with up to 600 garrison. It consists of: 44 CKO Sargeants (essentialy Empire Armored Crossbowmen on steroids, who can also double as good infantry), 24 CKO Knights, 43 Empire Armored Crossbowmen, 15 Fierdsvain Huscarls, 11 companions, 43 Mercenary Swordsmen and the rest consists mostly of high level cavalry and some Fierdsvain and Ravenstern infantr...

Food & Morale -- The math doesn't work the way you think...

The " Party morale report " is a strange bit of math. Take that screenshot for example: +50 -60 +90 +73 -32 = 67 I call it strange because the answer should be = 115 not 67. Looking at the rest of the album it is easy to see it is always {99-32=67} and Recent events makes up the difference. That raises some questions. Namely, what is the correct amount of food to carry? I would like to know how the value for "Recent events" changes. It is the important number on that screen. Note that if "Recent events" moves towards zero over time (pretty sure it does) that means you always want it displaying a negative value. There are food options I see. I do not know which is best over time; A) Food variety = Recent events (carry +32 total) B) Food variety < Recent events (carry 1 grain) C) Food variety > Recent events (carry every food type you can find) 1)Is it affected by diminishing returns (like renown)? 2)Or are all changes to it stat...

How on earth do you capture Tevarin Castle?

So, I've nearly taken over all of Swadia, the only places in my way are Praven and Tevarin Castle. However, despite having over 100 men myself and being joined by pretty much every Vaegir lord and their men, I can't for the life of me take Tevarin. The horrible siege ladder creates a chokepoint for their seemingly infinite archers and they wipe out nearly all of my troops before I can even ascend the ladder!

Just had the most intense and epic battle ever XD

My mercenary army got cornered by the Northern King. Greatly outnumbered we fought our enemies of the North, as i saw my fellow soldiers fall to their blades one by one. We survived the king's first wave of soldiers ... Our cavalry was no more we only had around 30 infantry left and a handful of archers. Retreat was not a option as we had our reputation as the invincible mercenary band to uphold. So i rallied my infantry and placed the archers in a half moon formation behind our soldiers. Everything was in place as we awaited the second wave of the northern kings attack, then they showed up charging at us with a large number of infantry they where only a few moments away, i shouted to my soldiers "SHIELD WALL!" and we formed up, bring it King of the North! i shouted, their infantry clashed against our shields but it wasn't enough to break our formation, we retaliated, hacking and slashing while keeping our invincible formation as they fell to our swords one by one, ...

Changing max battle size in Silverstag?

Sorry if there's an obvious answer to this question, but I can't find a way to increase the battle size past 150 in the Silverstag mod. From what I've been able to google, I need to change "battle_size" in rgl_log.txt to a higher number. When changing it from "1.000000" to "3.000000" (or any other number) it has no effect in game, and when I re-open rgl_log.txt it shows "battle_size" as being set back to the default value. I'm guessing that it has something to do with the fact that Silverstag uses Warband Script Enhancer, but I don't know enough about WSE or modding in general to figure out how to fix it. Is it possible? Do you have any suggestions? Submitted March 30, 2017 at 05:32PM by notsirw http://ift.tt/2oevk2a

What keybindings do you change?

I have a couple that I've had for so long I've almost forgotten what the original key bindings are. -Q instead of X for "change weapon type". Easier for couching a lance or swinging a throwing axe. -Alt instead of / for swinging the camera around in the heat of battle. -1, 2, 3 ,4.... etc switch with F1, F2, F3, F4... etc so you give out commands with numbers and choose troops types with the function buttons. This is a big one for me because it's much easier to hit 1 then 3 for a charge or hold down 1 to slap that "move here guys" banner down.

[Perisno] How do you train your troops?

Hi guys! I've recently started playing Perisno .8 and I'm a bit overwhelmed by just how hard everything is. I played earlier versions of Perisno and I don't feel like the game was THIS challenging. I personally love a challenging game though; it's boring when everything is just handed to you on a butter covered platter. My question though is how do you guys level your troops? Soon after starting my playthrough I found the mercenary camp (great feature by the way) and hired some random low level troops and some of the hired troops that let you customize their gear. I really like the custom troops and the gear that I can give them (kinda pisses me off how the best gear for them is elven shit though. I hate elves) but my problem is I can't level them up enough to where I can give them higher tier gear. Every enemy band I see on the map is like "50 dismounted knights, 300 deathbringers, 60 demon overlords, and 40 wolf knights who will fuck your shit up" so my...

[Viking Conquest]Battle strategies

Hi, I need some tips regarding battle strategies. I have some questions: What is strategy view(Enter key by default) used for? Is there a way to arrange my units in a specific formation and to memorize it so every battle my troops will use that specific formation? If so, is there a way to arrange them in a neutral ground or do I need to be in a battle to do so? After forming shieldwalls, will my troops just hold ground? If I press them to charge, will they break shield wall or move forward in shield wall formation? What about ordering them to advance 10 steps or to manually make them go to a specific spot, will this break formation? If they break formation, will they get in shield wall once they reach that spot or I have to tell them again? What is the minimum soldiers required to use shield wall? What formation should I use in each particular situation? I intend to form shield wall/ranks and wait for enemies when they have lots of cavalry and to simply charge in when enemy has ...

So I just recently found out about M&B and really wanted to buy Warband but money is tight right now... I was hoping for a sale soon so I can finally buy the game(or the bundle DLC)but it appears that there has been already a sale a few weeks back on 3/15, so it's probably going to be a while til the next sale.

Quick question: Why have my kings stopped assigning fiefs to their lords?

I'm trying to start up a kingdom of my own and learned that you can talk with a lord in private and persuade him to join your cause. So I did just that and he said, "Neither of us have a fortress blablabla kingdom ruled from woods". Pretty much it didn't work because neither of us had property. So I went and looked in the Locations section of the glossary and, lo and behold, every single location is owned by a King, Sultan, or Khan. Lords used to have castles, I know this for certain, and some even had towns (or multiple towns). But now it's all kings. Anyone know why this is?

Just a little tip to prevent a few crashes

When I first started playing Warband, I used to Alt+Tab out of the game when I wanted to do something else, and sometimes it made the game crash. So I looked around the net and found that Alt+Enter is best to use, since it puts your game in windowed mode (if you have it in fullscreen) and the game never crashes that way. Another great thing I use Alt+Enter for is the loading screen - if you just tab out, the game won't keep loading at all, but with Alt+Enter you can have the game loading in the background and do something more fun other than staring at the loading bar (i play a lot of mods and some of them load reaaaally slowly) Submitted March 28, 2017 at 01:16PM by crappel http://ift.tt/2ne5GpH

My Brytenwalda Tips (Campaign Ongoing)

** MAKING MONEY** Hunting. You can do this as soon as you have a real horse (or even a donkey). The best way is with three sets of javelins and a dawn ray (or a bow/sling and ride to the next hilltop, shoot, and ride). Goats, boar, wolves, and donkeys are slow. Deer are fast. You have to trick deer; you can't run them down unless you have a good riding skill and a really fast horse. If you kill a big herd, don't sell all the items in one city. Trade. One of the best routes is silver, minerals, and stone from Wales back to England. Buy from VILLAGES, not towns. Generally, a good trade route will not take you all the way from London to Scotland. It's not worth your time. The profits look good, but ask yourself about profit/(time x danger). Tournaments, like always. I will discuss tournaments shortly. Prisoners. As always, prisoners are great for earning money. Prisoner management doesn't exist anymore, so holding prisoners is much easier. There are not any go...

How do Blunt Weapons and Prisoners Work?

So it seems as though blunt weapons have a much higher chance of knocking an enemy unconscious than other weapons. I've never actually ran around with a mace myself, but I'm wondering how consistent this is? For example, say you run in to 20 high tier deserters and you want to capture them all to sell or convert to your own army. Could you expect to capture most or of them by just using a mace? Do blunt weapons ever actually kill? Is there even an actual difference between blunt and sharp weapons in terms of knocking unconscious? Does Surgery affect this at all for the enemy? The main reason I ask is actually because of that "track down the spy" mission your king can sometimes give you. You need to take two specific NPC's alive, so I typically just charge them with my horse for 8 damage a pop until they fall unconscious, but if maces do this reliably it would make this a lot less tedious.

Viking Conquest Story: Capturing a Castle

So I recently started the VC Storyline recently. I am surprised at how good it is, but I am kind of stuck. Spoilers ahead so I went to Englaland with Sven, and, well, you know how well that goes. Anyway so I joined the Saxons by giving them the letter (because I like Bodo, and wanted to piss of Egil the traitor). I was made a lord but given no fiefs. And the first mission is to conquer a castle, and hold it for 20 days. So I have very little money, maybe 5k, and pay about 500 something in matinence since I have a brewery cutting some matinence costs, and about 30 soldiers in my army. So I just don't get how they expect you to conquer a whole castle with over 300 defenders without just pure grinding, and grinding until you can get a decent army I got a lord to follow me, but he ran away at the first sight of an enemy army.

So I've been playing M&B for a long time. A few months back when it came to console I was ecstatic since my PC was no longer with me. Everyone in the community knows that Ping is critical. It might not always decide a fight but damn does it mess with you. So of course everyone stuck to there relative servers US and EU etc. But no on console not one person understands how to pop proper servers. Its all EU with US players not playing on they're respective servers. EU servers usually are populated early in the morning. I love this game and its been there for me when I've had nothing else. Does anyone have any ideas? Sorry if this isn't exactly a relative post considering the size of console. Thanks! Submitted March 23, 2017 at 04:19PM by Jhenryis1 http://ift.tt/2nNyrOK

[NOVAS AETAS] What about the AI, are they really that stupid?

I have been serving as a mercenary in a lord´s army and we went to a big fight but it was terrible: Both sides made the cavalry rush like crazy in the front, they made a shield wall with the infantry in the back e send archers to charge. The problem is: those infantry in shield wall never leave the formation! In the end of the battle there was 2 shield walls, one in each side, doing nothing, while a bunch of novice archers tryed to kill them, it was very frustrating. Is is always like it?

With Fire and Sword Cursor Problem

Hi all, so I feel like I've exhausted my options as far as searching on Google. So now I turn to you, good Harvesters and Skull-Drinkers. I recently got a new laptop (Acer Aspire V17 Nitro - Black Edition) with Windows 10, Intel Core i7, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960m. Warband works like a dream, yet when I try With Fire and Sword, my cursor just doesn't appear on screen; it's there in that I can still hover over things and select them, but I can't see the actual cursor. I've done everything Google, Steam forums, and Tale Worlds forums have on the issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, changed the size of icons and apps, made sure all my drivers were updated, made sure cursor trailing was disabled, and still nothing. In windowed mode the cursor appears, but I hate playing in windowed mode and with a computer this expensive and a game I payed for, I refuse to settle and play it in any way less than how I prefer; especially since it worked just fine on my old-...

[ACoK] Elite Vale Longbowmen issues

I've recently been training up some Vale longbowmen , only to find that their power draw is significantly reduced due to the plate armour/mail gauntlets they wear. While I understand that the armour penalties were implemented for balance, it doesn't make sense that a unit heavily focused around the damage provided by the power draw skill should be completely decimated and lose a majority of its potential damage as an elite unit. Currently the veteran unit has a higher damage output than the elite variant, which is stupid. Am I missing something? I have edited the unit so that it wears a different piece of equipment and so it functions like I would expect, but I thought that I would ask to make sure there isn't something I am completely ignoring. I should mention that I am running on the most recent version of the mod.

(Nova Aetas) Colonies doesn't seem worth it.

Great strategy for floris expanded

Started a new playthrough a few weeks ago. Hired mercenaries mostly cause they look cool and became a merc for swadia. Swadia was at war with Khergits. Khergits when at peace with sarranids trade a lot with them. Between Halmar and Durquba there is a pass near a Sarranid village. Camp there and attack khergit caravans. Sell prisoners and goods at the sarranid towns then invest in property. It's really easy money. All factions use that pass if they trade with the sarranids so use this strategy as much as you like.

New player needs some advice

I've been trying to dive into MB for a while, I keep starting new campaigns only to be distracted by other games. I've decided to become familiar with vanilla before I try any mods. It's some thing I know I'll enjoy, and I'm having a blast so far. Unfortunately, I seem to have hit a wall. Im on day 150 and I've been given a village, obviously a terribly placed one, and I've got an enterprise. I'm just breaking even every week, and that's if my village hasn't been raided for the nth time. I don't really know what to do, my party fluctuates around 30 troops, and I can't get more because of lack of funds and I can't save up money to buy a better enterprise.

Small tiny noobish question

Ok so, I've been a mercenary for the rhodoks for a while and won countless battles (had to retreat only once) against the weaklings of the Sarranid, we also managed to conquer two castles, Shariz and Durquba. Towards the end of the war I officially joined the rhodoks and got the village of Emer (quite good, built a mill and a messenger post already), also earned a hell lot of money and, even if I'm always on loss I manage to earn gold with cleaning bandits...the problem is, I have a huge army with lots of high tier troops such as 12 Rhodok Sergeants, 1 Swadian Knight, some Rhodok Sharpshooters, a couple of Hired Blades and Mercenary Cavalry and 2 Sarranid Mamalukes as well as many troops ready to upgrade, mostly Swadian Men at Arms, that I can't upgrade because of upkeep cost, so I'm basically a powerful 65 men (including Artimenner and Borcha) army which is very versatile and can beat armies even twice as strong as me without many casualties, too bad it's almost u...

[Floris] My rhodok army dying very easily.

This is my first game in Floris. I'm trying to go with a full Rhodok army (about 40% Infantry/40% crossbow with my companions and I as the cavalry) because I've just basically used Swadian Knight armies before and I want to try something different. So far I'm up to about ~70 army size with a few level 5 troops and mostly level 3s and 4s (and a bunch of recruits I constantly have to gather). My problem is that my guys seem to die extremely easily. Even facing mountain or forest bandits that are like half my size I still end up taking a ton of casualties unless I personally get in their face and basically carry the battle. Is there some magic point at like troop level 6 or 7 when Rhodok suddenly become strong? I've always heard they're awesome. My crosbowmen can't seem to hit the broadside of a barn.

The hidden reason why dyeworks is so profitable. And the secret to making it even more profitable.

You can increase the profitability of all your dyeworks everywhere in Calradia by: 1. Buying all the velvet at Jelkala until the price is above average, and/or 2. Preventing caravans leaving Jelkala from arriving at their destinations. The hidden reason dyeworks is so profitable for players is that Jelkala is the only source for velvet in the game (other than the player). It is this lack of supply that makes dyeworks consistently good in so many towns and so many games. The price of velvet slowly propagates out from Jelkala as caravans trade. If you buy velvet in Jelkala so it is more expensive there than in other towns then caravans will stop carrying out into the rest of Calradia. Prices everywhere will rise while Jelkala's will quickly drop again. These wide swings at Jelkala creates an opportunity for the player to buy low and sell high. Control the price of velvet at Jelkala and your will is what will propagate out. There is a script that is responsible for the base sup...

Anyone else bothered by Bannerlord's setting?

One thing I like a lot about the original Mount and Blade is its syncretic setting which kind of mixes a lot of different medieval cultures and times, but mostly seems to stick to a vaguely High Medieval time period. But it sounds like Bannerlord is going to be in a more specifically Dark Age time period. Now this is probably going to be cool, but I'm personally going to miss the knights, factions, and items from the original. The new factions, "Vlandia" for instance, just don't sound as interesting as "Swadia". I hope I'm wrong and Bannerlord is more expansive than I thought.
