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]

Why must you do this to the Rhodoks?

I’ve noticed a pattern in mods that expand on Calradia. I swear, every time, people turn the Rhodoks into a 14th-15th century faction, with brigandines, hounskull helmets, and much more plate, while the other factions remain fairly true to the 13th century (except the Nords of course.) I feel like this kinda destroys the aesthetic of the Rhodoks, who looked like they actually were a splinter faction of Swadia. What are your thoughts?

King Harlaus: a tale of war, betrayal and utter stupidity.

Having not played Warband for a while, I decided to return to the floris mod. I started in Swadia and joined King Harlaus as a freelancer. (My first big mistake) I was the best soldier by far and earned a fair bit of money so had reason to stay, but the king was so incredibly incompetent. The first two battles we lost to the rhodoks, he was imprisoned so I had to singlehandedly rescue him both times. It was the third battle where things got so much worse. I thought to myself 'If the old bastard lost again, I would quit'. We were 300 against 60 though so i had high hopes.  We did lose. Badly. The king was killed and because I couldn't return to him, I was labelled a deserter and universally hated throughout the land. TLDR: Joined Harlaus' army, he lost a stupidly easy battle, died, made me a deserter, am now hated by all. PS: this did actually happen but the post is meant to be lighthearted and not a rant or complaint Submitted November 30, 2017 at 11:33PM by l...

Need some help with sieges.

So I'm playing war and on my Xbox one. I have an army of about 83, and I'm roleplaying as Genghis Kahn. I'm part of my own kingdom. I feel like I've grinded enough to take a castle. But goddamnit if I can't win one siege! When I send my infantry/Calvery to charge they all get bunched on the ladder and get slaughtered. Leaving all of my archers to get picked off. Any tips? Is it possible to actually win as a renegade kingdom? Submitted November 30, 2017 at 07:03AM by Yackattack95 http://ift.tt/2AkdvSR

M&B: AWOIAF - A noobs life for me

I picked up warband after a friend recommended it. I saw the World of Ice and Fire mod and installed it right away. I soon discovered what a steep learning curve this game has! No easing you in at all. My first play through saw me lose my little militia in my first battle. I lost that when I had the numbers, 2:1. Damn archers. I attempted to deliver a letter to Stannis, didn't have enough stags for the ferry. Entered a tournament and bet on myself in an attempt to win money, I lost. I had to beg on the waterfront for enough coins to take the ferry to Dragonstone, leaving my reputation in tatters. When I got to Dragonstone, Stannis didn't give a crap, no reward and no money to leave. So now I'm stuck on Dragonstone, no money and homeless. I wanted to be a knight. People were not kidding when they said this was medieval realism. Submitted November 29, 2017 at 11:57AM by brett687 http://ift.tt/2hZddbU

An idea for lances.

So the reason that one could couch their lance and charge head-on into the opponent is because of stirrups, which stabilized the rider in his saddle. So what if, instead of the type of spear determining whether you can do couch damage, it’s the equipment you put on your horse? It seems like horse armour is going to be a thing, and while I doubt this idea will be a feature in native Bannerlord, it may not be impossible to mod in. I mean, it makes sense for the spear to be of sufficient length in order to couch it (like maybe a weapon reach of more than 175) but this method would be much more realistic.

Remember when Bannerlord was supposed to be released in 2016? Then again in 2017? We have a month left....

Maybe I'm out of the loop and Bannerlord came out and I just don't know it yet. If that were true I'm sure this sub would be full of complaints, praises, and questions on why the lack of butter.... This is some Rick and Morty production value going into Bannerlord which only gives me a glimmer of hope that the game is going to be extremely well polished, or has some nagging bugs that the developers are either trying to fix, or putting them off like there is always another tomorrow. With the ever growing threat of Nuclear War with North korea, perhaps there is no tomorrow? It's also 60 degrees in the Midwest so that could be a sign that tomorrow it could be a 1000 degrees in the midwest, keep in mind, I'm basing these assessments on nothing as I have a college degree in Philosophy, not meteorology. 2017 is coming close to an end, and still no bannerlord and no confirmed release date. That is not a good sign for a game that has been in talks since 2012. What...

Mount and Blade: Viking Conquest Frustrations Thread

I love VC, I've played it for quite some time now, but there are some things that still aggravate me constantly. As misery loves company, here's a thread to post all of the things that annoy you, without feeling the need to provide solutions with your criticism. Who knows, maybe there are mods people can suggest to fix these problems. Starting us off, competition weapon randomness. Almost every tourney I've lost has been due to getting a spear and shield while the other guy gets a sword or axe and shield. 1v1, the higher rate of attacks and variety of swings is damn near impossible for that pithy 3-hitter shield to take. If I got to choose my weapon, or if I at least got the same weapon as everyone else, then i'd feel better about it. But it's really frustrating to get randomly disadvantaged like that.

What to do during peace time as a vassal?

I've joined up with the Rhodoks as a vassal, but soon after they made peace with the Sarranids, and since then have been at peace for literal in-game months. During that time I got married, went around doing tournaments, increasing relations with my fief(a village), doing bandit hideout quests, fighting bandits, doing Guild Master quests, and building up my army. To be perfectly honest I'm getting a bit bored, is there anything else I can do?

Hi, I'm new to the series. I have some questions. Could you give me some answers?

So I bought Warband on PS4, fell in love and am downloading it on my PC right now. Hopefully it will run fine. I have some questions, and would welcome any extra tips or advice about the game that you have for me. First, marriage. Is it important? What do I get out of it? Can I marry a lady from a different kingdom? Secondly, can I become king of a pre-existing faction- for example can I bump off Ragnar to become king of the Nords, or do I have to make my own kingdom? And lastly, once I have it on my PC (And have finished a few vanilla games) I would like some mods. Nothing too game changing at first, maybe some more diplomacy and a few extra features... such as the ability to kill certain lords (Lookin' at you, Jarl Dirigun ya prick). Then I might try some fantasy mods. Submitted November 28, 2017 at 12:20PM by LordDaisah http://ift.tt/2Bm4vvJ

[TLD] Comparison: The Rangers

Dunedain Master Ranger: Higher STR and DEX (more HP and faster attacks), higher weapon proficiency (410 across the board, they are basically like top-tier elves, which is... too much, surely), but... INT 4, which means they are very scared of the scary Nazgul and their Fell Beasts. Elven Bows with piercing damage, far superior to cutting damage. Upkeep: 67. Master Ranger of Ithilien: Attributes 20 across the board. Archery proficiency 380 (arguably the only one that really matters), which also places them at the level of top-tier elves. The INT 20 means they can theoretically resist Nazgul fear better... assuming I'm not mistaken and the INT resistance mechanic applies to troops as well as players. Standard Gondor Bows with cutting damage. Upkeep: 73. Power Ranger: Attributes sky-high, definitely unbalanced, please nerf. Have OP gear as well. NCR Ranger: The weakest of the lot.

Mod for stronk Khergits

Hellou there,butter-worshippers. I am new to Mount and Blade (I've got Warband,VE And Napoleonic conquest). Anyway,from all factions, the one i most like is the khergits. They are just cool, plus i'm rather bad with melee,so horse archery is gud for me. Homewever,i've learned that the Khergits later in the game are not that great, because of the Horse archer AI (Which should be the strong point of the khergits,if i'm right). Anyway, is there any mod to make Khergits better as a faction? Or should i just deffect to the Rhodoks or something (In my main campaign i still didn't make any oath or become mercenary for any faction, just a bunch of sidequests for some khergit lords) Submitted November 27, 2017 at 10:01AM by LeGuy123 http://ift.tt/2iX3Vy5

New Player - Original vs Warband?

Hey guys, I bought both the original and warband during a steam sale three years ago and have finally got around to playing them these last few days... Now I know the general consensus is that Warband is an improved version of the original and so the original is more or less obsolete, but I started playing it anyway to get my money's worth. I'm enjoying it way more than I thought I would and I've thrown in a good 30 hours over the last 4 days already, but I can see myself throwing hundreds more into this series in the future. Basically, my question is this: is it worth continuing my character in the original or should I just start afresh in Warband before I become too invested to make the switch? Is it a "waste" to continue playing through the original when warband is basically the same game but with many new features? Submitted November 27, 2017 at 06:22AM by ozpcmr http://ift.tt/2n9JouE

Looking for perfect mod....

OK so i know lots of good mods with lots of features like Floris, Prophecy Of Pendor, A world of ice and fire or Nova Aetas but i dont think i found any perfect mod. You probably thinking what do you mean by perfect mod?... by that i mean mods like Nova Aetas, Floris and few others merged in one to give players more features and interactions. Fantasy mods with more races give an option to choose a race for your faction Nova Aetas gives colonies and crafting Floris upgrades your game at many features... So is there any mod that just merges mods and makes one with ton of features like crafting, diplomacy, big troop trees, enchanted/smarter lords and all that.

[POP] A couple questions regarding Knighthood Orders.

So I'm a new player to POP, loving the mod, b I had a few questions about the troops. If I join a KHO, rank up to Grandmaster, and then leave to join another, can I still get the first order's troops, or am I locked out of them? I assume that I can only have the troops from my current KHO, but obviously I'm not certain. Tying into the first question's assumption, the Custom Knighthood Order is different though? You can get the troops from the custom one whether you've joined or not? I know you can spend money and qualis gems to open new chapters of KHOs, but since gems are in high demand to beef yourself, your companions, and your CKO up, what benefits does having more chapters of a KHO carry?

Pendor AI should be the default Native AI

Seriously, it's just so good, maybe the best tactical AI i played against so far, it's not trying to force things into formations, it's not trying to make a spear brace, their archers neatly showering arrows from a hill rather than trying some awkward skirmishing maneuver, their cavalry actually do some flanking, and their infantry stay in formation without moving back-and-forth awkwardly like in the mods who use Formations AI. Sure it has its flaws, but it gets the job done. Maybe the only annoying thing from Pendor AI is that they usually just camp in their base until someone took an arrow in the knee, forcing the player to do the forward march instead. Any other mods that use similar AI? preferably native-based. I really like to play native but after experiencing Pendor AI something just feels missing, fighting native AI just feels so bland now. :( Submitted November 26, 2017 at 11:36AM by rakenopo http://ift.tt/2zoEdbH

[TLD] Berserker trait and retreating breaks this mod + mini guide

I was just able to beat TLD in under a hundred days as a Dunadain ranger, after discovering this on my Isengrad playthrough (which took ~300 cause I didn't find it out until way late). Getting Strength 18/Ironflesh 6/Power Strike 6, and fighting a few battles without a shirt on, will get you Berserker very quickly. That gives +2 Strength, and more importantly, the ability to heal in battle. After that, you can tackle impossible armies, like 1 vs a Mordor War Party, and just spam retreating to heal up. That wouldn't be TOO bad, EXCEPT...Each time you retreat and re-initiate a battle, the game treats it as a second battle for ranking purposes. Thus, I was able to get ~900 rank with Gondor for one battle with a Mordor War Party. This can be done with every faction. I managed to get rank 10+ with all of them except Erebor and Dale, which were at ~7. I was able to get enough influence for every item, and it also let me accrue a huge army. In my first playthrough, I used all of...

So I'm playing again. I play warband vanilla. I can't seem to stop playing Vaegirs. Long story short we end up at war with the Nords. Me and my band of maybe 20 or 30 knights end up face to face with a huge armada of Nords sieging us. Vaegirs pass by so I take a shot and run out and one of the nearby Vaegirs joins... its now 300 v 1300....we cut the Nords down to about 500 men, leave, rest in the castle half a day. They scatter into multiple small battles. I run into each small battle and conquer them. Vaegirs are now theoretically going to be unopposed except where their own stupidity gets them killed.

So I’ve got a problem.

So there is this lord and he is my vassal. I’m trying to butter him up so I can butter his daughter. Problem is that his daughter is already being buttered by another lord, but lord #2 is also a vassal of mine. If I accuse the lord #2 of treason will he he break it off with my sweet sugar butter pot so I can swoop in and churn more butter?

Best Roman Mod?

I was browsing mods, looking to scratch the itch for a good Roman Empire era mod, but there are just so damn many. As such, I'm soliciting opinions on which ones are the best, or at least the sub's favorite. No multiplayer-only mods, please. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Should we nominate M&B Warband for the "NO Apologies" award on Steam?

Can Warrider be considered canon to Mount and blade lore?

So the very first mount and blade version ever is set in 1357. King harlus is now a claimaint to the only 2 factions in the game, the Swadians and the Vaegirs.

Comrade challenge

Hello Comrade! I came up with this roleplay challenge when i realised you can use a sickle as a weapon in the game. This challenge uses cheats (but only a little). First you shall download TweakMB and change your max party size to at least 1000. Then you shall give yourself a sickle. Then the challenge starts. You are only allowed to use recruits as troops and you are not allowed to recruit any companions of noble blood.You are allowed to only use the military sickle or the normal sickle as a weapon. Also you are not allowed to have more money then you absolutly need and any excess money should be spent on food (you know why). All Lords and Kings are your enemies. You are not allowed to attack peasants or plunder villages you can however attack caravans as they are rich swines who are greedy and do not respect the hones labourer. Have fun Comrade!

[TLD] So I had to go pick Gondor for my first playthrough.

Pelargir has fallen to the Haradrim. Baranor and Forlong the Fat have fallen, and I dare not swear to avenge them, for the foe is mighty beyond reckoning. Rohan struggles. The Beornings are weakened. Lothlorien suffers defeat after defeat. Mirkwood falters. Rivendell hesitates, taking no decisive action. The combined strength of Dale and Erebor dwindles. I ride around, with Rangers of Ithilien, Swan Knights of Dol Amroth, archers from Mirkwood, and various soldiers of Gondor. We have seen countless battles, lost countless friends. Every blow we strike against the Shadow seems to fall back upon us with redoubled ferocity. Every triumph we win is soured with news of a fresh defeat elsewhere. "Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow." How did it come to this?

Lord not showing up in Town even though he appears on the minimap?

So I have two questions. The first one is that how come sometimes I get a notification that a Lord left another kingdom and has joined mine and sometimes I don't? When I get this message it seems that he automatically becomes my vassal without me having to accept him, I've never experienced this before. Also a Lord shows up with his party in my Town, but when I go into the castle he isn't there, what's the deal with this?

How to see the entire army stack in huge armies (500+) in Prophesy of Pendor?

Cause I lured a unique spawn into Noldor territory to gain leverage with Noldor troops, but I didn't even see the general escape or get option to talk to him. So I'm guessing he became a prisoner to the Noldor but I want to make sure by seeing the prisoners, but the army stack is so large that it doesn't fit on the screen. Can unique spawns be captured by other armies or only the player? Also, it's frustrating to battle 3 unique spawns and not have a single one get captured :( feelsbadman Submitted November 20, 2017 at 07:00PM by MeLikeChoco http://ift.tt/2zme7KN

The Bear strikes back - Calradic Campaign #23

The tension of a moment was unbearable. A solemn King sat upon his throne. Maps, missives, parchment and ink were scattered about tables surrounding the court. Great Lords of ancient families, those who rode with Grunwalder himself, stood with baited breath. Clergy of the vague god whispered silent prayers. The King had raised his hand moments before, ushering a terrible silence over the great hall of Veluca. Not long before, the hall was buzzing with argument. Wonder, excitement and fear poured over the crowd; gossip tore through them like a northern Gale. The Rock of Rivacheg had fallen The Nordic King has returned A King, elected by his people in the true and proper ways of the Rhodoks, had returned in the wake of the death of the usurper.

Battle if the Snow - As told by me

” As I have said, it would be most unwise for us to oppose the Vaegirs and Swadians. It would be much better for us to ally with them”, said Jarl Tim. It was not the first time he had suggested this; in fact, he had suggested this so often that the loud protests that initially followed the suggestions had now been replaced by sighs and boredom. Then the jarls heard footsteps coming towards the great door. A small group of them. As all whom had decided to come was already there, they were unsure of who this could be. They waited with anticipation as the footsteps reached the door. Then it opened and their anticipation turned into shock. It was Smug Alpaca, the former king who left the kingdom some time ago. And at his side stood the former Rhodok king known as Nether. “My friend, I see that our once great kingdom is declining, and as such, I have returned to save it.” He looked around the hall, meeting the gazes of the surprized jarls, and then locked his eyes on Tim. “Jarl Tim, I he...

I found and played Parabellum over the weekend

This mod is spectacular. I played Red Wars and was bored to hell. I found this and played it and oh my. The environment is amazing. The bullets searing past my ears, the artillery striking around me, the planes fighting above the ground combat. I did not expect this from a M&B mod. I realize these are stolen assets but I don't give a crap (plus I mean...kudos to someone for stealing from EA). The sound and visuals are surreal. This is an amazing mod.

Is this a common thing with supporting army?

Hey! Today I picked up the game again, and found something that could probably happen earlier too, but I haven't noticed that time. Anyway, I found it weird so I thought I would share it here. My story in screenshots can be followed here . I'm using the Warsword Conquest mod for the game, but probably it's not what's causing the "problem". So, I was venturing into Bretonnian (one of the mod's faction) territory to loot some peasants to upgrade my armies and get some XP and money. I was almost caught by some patrolling troops when this raid party (Pirate Kingdom, another faction) arrived and for some reason saved my ass. My relation with them is 0, absolute neutral.

When you capture a bandit hideout, it says "Their hideout and their ill-gotten gains are now yours" it would be cool if you could use it for yourself.

Hopefully this feature comes with those new mini-factions in Bannerlord, like the 'Bandit brotherhood' and how you'll be able to install your own gang in a town after ridding the town of a gang.

What's the best one-handed weapons to use from horseback?

In battle I like to keep my speed up and ride by enemies (especially infantry) and swing down at them, usually killing them but sometimes I end up just bumping them with my horse or missing entirely. What is the best weapon for this tactic? Also is it advisable to use a 1-hand/2-hand weapon for this kind of fighting (note that I have only developed my 1-handed so if it requires 2-handed skill to use these I probably can't afford the weapon skill points between buffing my 1-hand and my bow and arrow).

I find it a little hard to believe that the pseudo-Norman Vlandian knights are going to be more effective than the Imperial Cibanarii?

Keeping hoe ass lords away from your butter

So as some of you probably know, a lot of salty lords defect weak kingdoms and join your glorious masterrace tyranny. When that happens, they hound you in your capital with request to become your vassals. Once you initiate the conversation, you can either accept them or reject them.

Help with war time (Floris)

Hi So I was playing a rogue mercenary that happened to come across an barely defended town (which faction i was at war with for extreme peasant harassing) and I took it. Now no one likes me and I'm at war with everyone. I managed to take 2 castles, but having 800+ armies running around everywhere in my small kingdom makes my life miserable. I can't afford matching their armies, and if I manage to defeat one of the factions army, there are like 6 more factions with equal amounts of troops. So now what do I do? I tried peace with them but they're not having any of it. All I can do is camp my town/castles and pray they don't send everything they have.

So far I have been granted 2 villages, being a vassal of Swadia. Every time there's a castle due to be granted to someone, the King chooses some other guy or himself ("After much consideration, King X has decided to grant Castle A to King X" lol). I have a good relationship with the King and a few other lords.

The biggest obstacle in the game

Stairs. They slow you down significantly just like a hill, with the added bonus of stopping your horse, which makes finding the guild master particularly difficult. It's also a pain in taverns (Uxkal specifically) when it takes 15 minutes to find the ransom broker (if he is even there). Every time I go into Uxkal's tavern, I set attacks to "relative enemy position" so the arrows show me if there's anyone upstairs. I'd rather try to climb a ladder in a siege with 400 rhodok sergeants set to "charge" than climb to the 3rd floor of a tavern to find a book merchant.

I just realized how Mount and Blade makes you feel almost Desensitized

Every single person in the game, except vassals, rulers, companions, ladies, merchants, and the other npcs you generally talk to, all are one dimensional... You don't really think about it, but the people in the game, you throw away, or kill without much care. It's like these virtual deaths mean nothing... the only time we seem to care is when your elite troop that you trained for a month suddenly died instead of being knocked unconscious. It is a bit funny, and yet so sad... that those 20 casualties on the field, and those 120 kills on the enemy side are little to nothing. It feels like Mount and Blade gives us too much power... over such powerless pawns who follow us into battles to die, and expect weekly pay.
