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]

TLD praise thread

Just finished my first run with a Rohirrim in TLD, the war is over with very limited losses, only West Emnet has been razed by Saruman's war machine (Lórien risked too but we saved it) When I started I saw that as a M&B mod like the others, then I just rushed the War in a few evenings. Loved the sieges, loved every faction, liked the original OST (I used Shore themes for the big battles like Morannon, Dol Guldur, Moria, but I agree with the team: they are not adapt to a video game run, too bombastic). Will the team work on Bannerlord? Submitted March 31, 2018 at 07:14PM by Bendersnake https://ift.tt/2Jay08I

[Viking Conquest] Making money

Hello, fellow warriors. So here's the deal. I'm playing Viking Conquest on story mode and i'm having a hard time on making money. I've tried to make money on trading, but 70% of the time I end up buying stuff and having to sell for a lower price afterwards because I bought from the wrong who I should be selling to, for example. There are people who says on forums that they make hundreds of thousands os peningas by trading and I just don't fucking get how they do it . Can someone help me out? I need tips to good prices to buy/sell certain items such as wool of furs, trading routes... Just for information: This is how is my relation with every Kingdom .

Ridiculous amounts of lag in battles

For some reason, in any battle where more than perhaps 10 people are participating, the game lags to an absolutely terrible degree. I'm talking single figure FPS numbers and freally frequent freezes where nothing happens for maybe 10 seconds. I've messed around with the battle size (even on the minimum I get these issues), the battle notifications, graphics, number of visible corpses etc... but nothing affects it in any meaningful way. My computer isn't exactly the most high-end thing around, but for a game this old it should have absolutely no problem running it. The worst part is I've owned this game for a couple of years now and for I remember large battles being perfectly fine back then. No idea what's happening now but it makes battles completely unplayable. My specs: Processor: AMD FX-6350 Six-core 3.90 GHz Ram: 8GB GPU: Nvidia GTX 980 I'm using one mod, Diplomacy, but I've experimented with it both enabled and disabled and it doesn't aff...

So today I had a dream about Bannerlord release date...

I had a dream that I was on Steam and I was browsing new games. So I clicked on the “Upcoming” tab and I saw Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord. I was astonished.

Two days with Floris Evolved, things I've learned so far

You want to download and use the " English Troop Names Patch ". Seriously. Even on 1/2 damage, everything except looters will fuck you up. Don't think about accepting a "hunt forest bandits" missions right on start. They also all appear to be better armed now. Yes, I get that this is even harder in the mod Prophesy of Pendor, but I haven't played that yet. Because of that, you will spend the first hour(s) hitting the gym arena. Fortunately, you can select what weapon you want to spawn with. With sufficient skill, bows are incredibly strong. In tournaments, you can down the enemy horses in a matter of seconds. You will learn to love troops with ranged attacks. Use the "follow me" command to get them on a hill and "stand ground". Do not charge away from your troops as the only mounted fighter. Stay with your troops. Without explicitly disabling it in the mod options, Bandits will begin to stack up and run around in hug...

[PoP] 3.9 adds some serious bs

Salty example ahead. You find a group of enemies fighting another enemy, you join, win then the other enemies appear literally on top of you and inmediately fight you. Pretty sure in 3.8 they didnt move for like 1s so u had a chance to move at least. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? And thats not all, single enemy party you can kill 10 of them and then escape, BUT when theres mutiple groups of enemies you have 0 chance of escaping, cause even if u manage to kill 10 of them, then click leave, the rest of them will also appear in top of you. Add this with the missing "stop when enemy party in sight" feature from other mods and now u need to never fast forward if ure in war with another kingdom. So boring and is just straight up bullshit. No wonder people save-scum in this. Artificial difficulty in the form of RNG and bs mechanics... the worst its ill still play this mod anyways.

How to stop "Savescumming"?

Title. I think the art of savescumming is the only thing that stops me from enjoying the best M&B-Experience. When I start a new playtrough (be it modded or native), I'll tell myself: This Time for sure! No quitting! Just take it ! And then it happens: Run into a group of Bandits outnumbering you 10 to 50? -Quit! Play a battle against those Bandits, losing, with 2 enemies surviving? -Alt+F4 that shit Playing a battle / siege & you lose to many veteran units? -Nah, I can do better than that. Disguise yourself, trying to sneak into the town, getting slapped in the process and then imprisoned? -Miss me with that shit, im out! Run into the entire marshal's army with 2000 men? -Cu fam. Getting sniped by a Javelin from outer Space? -Bye! So. You can see the problem here. I'd like to know your thoughts on savescumming. Maybe this time.. in my Medieval Conquests-Playthrough.

Why the freakout over the changes in Bannerlord is not a problem

As im sure many of you know. Taleworlds has decided to remove Battle mode in favor of the new Skirmish mode they are cooking up for multiplayer. However, Im seeing a ridiclious amount of backlash against this decision and as such I will try to offer a counterpoint to really stop the stupid amount of hate and simmer some worries. You can still play Battle Mode Battle mode is still possible with some server side configs. If everyone seriously loves battlemode as they say they do, then it would be no problem to just install a new mod and play Battle mode again. Especially with how moddable Bannerlord will be, this will not be a problem at all. The perk system is just as extensive as Warband Callum has said multiple times on the Taleworlds Forums that the perk system is not a limiting option, and players will still be able to customize their soldier just as much as Warband, if not, better. Unless Taleworlds seriously wants to back down on their word I think you should have a little mo...

I hope the vassals/lords in bannerlord will be more loyal

Late game (warband) pretty much no faction has any resemblance of their original set of lords. Everyone trades with everyone like mad. I enjoyed learning all the different Jarls and power structure of the Nords early on so I could know who to cosy up to. But now that turns out to have been pointless because many of the high tier lords just simply left. The issue is the kings are greedy as fuck. Each king pretty much owns every large town in their kingdom :/ I hope instead we can have rebels start a civil war when the lords aren't happy. And a new king gets appointed, with a hopefully more generous outlook. I still want lords to defect obviously, just not nearly as easily.

Campaign map mode, Mount & Blade: Battle Royale idea

So I thought about a battle royale mode for the game and did a little google search and saw some others already came up with the idea. But then I developed a much more suiting battle royale idea for M&B. A Campaign Map Battle Royale! -Instead of spreading players on a large map as individual. Spread them on campaing map as army leaders. -There wil be no loot like other battle royale games. But men that you can recruit from villages, castles and cities. (There may be loot actually. Such as; food, armour, horses.) -People will encounter each other and battle with their armies and one of them will win and the loser will be eliminated from the contest. (Or the loser can choose to fight in the winners army, making losing fun too.) -Winner takes the lost sides warriors that are not killed. (Lost sides warriors join the winner side because they respect the commander of the winners and wanna fight for him/her :) .) -You could say people will not fight till the end to preserve their ...

[ACOK 6.0] Siege tower bug

Hello warriors, I need your help to see if I can fix this. I was sieging Volantis when I saw this happen, can't do anything to win because there is no passage to the walls Had some sucessful sieges before but I guess in none of them we were using siege towers.

last night i had sex with belligerent drunk.

Last Night I had sex with Belligerent Drunk. I liked it. It was so good I was smiling the whole time, and all he said was “I’ll wipe that smirk right off your face”. As were changing positions, sex became more and more intense, up to the point of pure heavenly pleasure. I was stunned by his marvelous gifts as he kept hitting me with his huge, beautiful sword. Suddenly, as we finish together, he starts getting violent. I liked it at first, but as his blows became more and more hurtful, I began to understand that this stopped being sex. It was something else. I immediately got up and tried to block his blows with my hands, but he was too strong. I grabbed the closest object I could find, a small Harlaus statuette, and hit him in the head with it. The fucker didn't feel a thing. As he tries to break my neck, a small jar of butter falls to the floor, and he stumbles on it, loses his footing, and falls down on his head. He was immediately knocked out. But before I could catch up my bre...

[ACOK 6.0] Fixed moment of crashing - urgently need input

In ACOK 6.0 I find myself having set periods where no matter what I'm doing in the game on the world map (travelling, resting in a town, castle, camp etc.) the game will crash at 23:00 of the given day. Re-loading to a far earlier save tends to fix the issue though this is only a temporary fix, as the same issue will re-occur after about a few hundred more days of in-game time. Anyone else having the same issue or have a solution? It's game-breaking and no permanent fix seems to be in sight. This may affect other mods too.

After 2 long PoP runs i decided to try Perisno. At first i dont like its map it feels so different :) i hired some mercanaries killed some bandits doing regular start. Still feeling wrong, im saying myself to go back to Pendor. Around day 30 i saw a party with 400 troops leaded by some King. I kite him to drahara lords and joined to fight. Thats when i saw warriors riding tigers. And it was that moment i knew Pendor can wait :) Im now on day 180 and vassal of Reich and Zann invaded. They took a lot of fiefs from a lot of kingdom.

Any way to see potential vassal's stats in Native?

I'm playing Warband, no mods, and I have a small country. Lords keep leaving their factions for mine and showing up in my court, but I only want honorable vassals, because I've heard they're easier to keep good relations with. Once potential vassals are in my court, is there any way to see if they're honorable or not? When I talk to them, I only get a yes/no decision on whether to take them on as a vassal.

Prophesy of Pendor newb.

I'm a relatively veteran player of MB Warband, though I've never had the patience to finish a game. Today I made the jump to PoP, and I am loving it. I just have a few questions for y'all about this glorious fantasy world. Is there any improvement to the economy in terms of needing diversity of production. Or can I just spam Dyeworks like in Native? Second of all, which nation's troops should I focus. For example, in Native, you would use Nord Huscarls with Swadian Knights and either Vaegir or Sarranid archers, with some Khergit skirmishers and Rhodok Crossbowmen mixed in, what is the equivalent army comp for PoP. As far as I can tell it's Ravenstern Archers with Fairasldkfjwhatever Berserkers/Huscarls or Imperial Legionares with whatever noble knights and adventurers you can get your hands on.

What do your troop categories look like?

Just wanna start off by saying i'm glad that I found this subreddit. It's making me love Warband even more. So, recently I realized that despite having 531 hours logged in Warband, I haven't been getting the most out of it like I feel like I should. Specifically, I haven't been fully utilizing the strategy/RTS aspect of the game, and I realized that I could probably be organizing my troops a lot better than just "Infantry, Archers, Cavalry, Companions."

Theory about Harlaus always feasting

So I have a theory: what if Harlaus' AI constantly starting feasts is on purpose and is meant to make Swadia less powerful? What I mean is, considering their powerful cavalry, average infantry, and central position on the map (which allows them to expand is virtually any direction, except perhaps the Sarranid lands), what if Harlaus' AI constantly starting feasts is purposefully meant to keep the vassals distracted so that Swadia will only expand at the same average pace as every other faction? I've played campaigns where Swadia pretty much "awakens" and starts expands like Russia on drugs. In one, they took Halmar and Narra, conquered all of the Rhodok Republic except for 2 castles, and I'm pretty sure they may have captured a few castles and/or towns from the Nords as well. Of course, every faction declared war on them to curb their power and if I had continued that campaign, they probably would've been destroyed, but still. It could be that in early bu...

Horse physics are awful and Bannerlord isn't fixing this

One of my biggest pet peeves in this game is how awkward handling horses can be. They feel super unrealistic and clunky, just running into walls and just rearing up. Wouldn't it be more immersive and mechanically interesting if you had to be a more careful rider, and suffer actual penalties (e.g. falling off and/or having your horse badly injured) if you and another rider just run headfirst into each other? And then there'd be huge incentive to have a good charger that can plow into enemy horses and push through more successfully. Cavalry gameplay would be completely different and much more impactful. Or at least make horses able to push each other around. Treating another horse like an impenetrable wall (until it gets killed) feels super donky.

Simple Modding Question

Good day. I had no idea as to where to ask these questions as the game is really a bit old now, it it's not the place to ask these questions, please do tell me where I can ask :) here is my questions: (Warband) Adding characters: I had a very somple idea as to only add a wife, princess/daughter to the kings. Make them have more "human" families instead of none. But, do I have to "copy" the whole "characers" file (or something) and add the new characters at the buttom? or can I just simply create a new one (3-5 characters) and have them appear in the game as normal?

Advice on starting my own kingdom in ACOK

Hello friends, I need help with the ACOK mod. Here’s the story. I am a vassal of the Vale, I hold two villages and two enterprises within the Vale with a net income of about $2500 and another $1000 from interest in the Iron Bank. I’m about 220 days in, I have 800 renown, 90 honor, and 3 right to rule. I comfortably field 120ish veteran soldiers but I can raid Dothraki camps all day and hold a solid 150. I believe that’s all the necessary information but I can elaborate if I left something out. I want to take Lorath but I’m not sure how. Do I raid their villages and weaken their economy first, and will that hurt me and make those lords not want to follow me? I’m thinking I’ll find what Lorathi lords don’t like the current king and leave their villages alone but destroy the rest. If I declare my own kingdom will I lose all my current income from the Vale? They won’t let me keep my villages right? I know I need to get my right to rule up, should have been sending my companions out s...

[Modding] Female warrior victory shouts.

Asked on the Taleworlds modding forum but haven't gotten a single reply, so though I would ask here as well. I'm trying to find some decent female warrior shouts, but the selection of free ones is awful. Mainly a cheerleader-type "Woo" or warriors getting hit, nothing of what I'm actually looking for. Plus Google lately is about as useful as a blow-up dartboard. The ones in the mod are much better than the weird laughing that was there before, but two or three of them are just altered "hits" and it sounds a bit naff (if I'm brutally honest). So for my own amusement, I'm looking at replacing them. If anybody has, in their possession, any proper, guttural female victory shouts (similar to the males, but with a female voice) or can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

[1257AD] Why are Sieges so goddamn hard in this mod?

Yesterday I did a couple of siege battles. It seems that standing on the attacking side of the siege either ends with winning with tremendous losses for the attackers (talking about 70-90% loss of forces) or the total obliteration of the attacking army. Maybe it's just the fact that we (Kingdom of Denmark) attacked several baltic Castles & Towns, with every baltic unit beeing equipped with javelins. But later when I joined in on the defense of one of our castles against the mongols, they still got destroyed even though it was 200 vs 1000, with us losing 50 people and them getting annihilated completely. Playing on "Normal" Damage-Calc and "Good" Combat / Campaign AI. Is there something I'm missing or are sieges just totally unwinnable for the attackers?

Any tips for a long-time player that still doesn't know how to conquer Calradia?

So I've played this game in its many forms on and off since about 2008, initially on a pc mag demo disc. Now here's the thing, i've played for countless hours on vanilla warband without cheats, and I struggle to find the means to actually hold a kingdom. Obviously taking a random fief by force results in dishonour and no right to rule. I've played A clash of Kings aswell, and was amazed by the content but found the time investment too insane and troop exp to slow to grind out good units. Is there a method of conquering by force that results in recognition of your kingdom? I've dabbled in the alliances and even marriages but it seems like 90% of the time helping a lord is just following him around on patrols, or delivering a message 50kms away. I thoroughly enjoy the game and simply exploring the land, i'd just love to take the next step and actually construct an honorouble kingdom, rather than being a glorified raider. Feel free to give your anecdotal explana...

What is the most "gamey" tactic you ever used

By "gamey," I mean a tactic that only works because Mount and Blade is a video game. For instance, I managed to beat a siege where I was outnumbered like 1:10 by having a few archers kill like 10 guys, retreating (somehow), and repeating until the enemies just stopped.

Replace a Face

Replace a Face is a utility that allows Mount&Blade:Warband players to manage their multiplayer profiles and more specifically the faces associated with these profiles. If you are interested in using this utility, you can download it from here: http://www.mnbcentral.net/Replace-A-Face/Replace-a-Face.exe You can find the source code for this tool here: https://github.com/HornsGuy/Replace-a-Face/wiki Chances are anti-virus software and windows will tell you this file cannot be trusted, but that is why I released the source code.

Ugly and weird generated Floris maps

Hi guys , So I've been having a problem , I've been playing Floris mod for a few hours and it's been super fun except for the generated maps. The problem is that they are so ugly and weird that it affects the gameplay. For example: I was fighting sea raiders and I was close to the water,but the map generates mountains and a forest which slows the gameplay a lot. Is there a way to disable the maps from mods so I can play with the native maps? Or a mod that uses native maps ?

[PoP] Which bolts would you choose for your Custom Knighthood Order?

I chose Siege bolts, as the Mettenheim ones are 4 less. If anything, it feels the Basic ones are the best deal, having 45 bolts, which means my sergeants will have ammo for much longer, but I wonder if the 8 damage difference, would make a difference when it comes killing easier stronger enemies. Then again, I think how ranged units, usually are very inefficient, shooting massively the same target, even if not so many of them need to shoot a single one. I wonder also if the 5 damage difference in arrows makes much difference. I am guessing it does not, as my Knights will be easier to train, so they will get power draw 10 fast.

Battle mode absent from Bannerlord

As seen from Callum's posts in the lastest dev blog (on the forums). There is confirmation that there is no battle mode for bannerlord. Although Skirmish sounds refreshing and all I don't understand why that necessitates the removal of the Battle gamemode entirely. Even though it can be theoretically added through modding why? It would only serve to divide the playerbase and make it slightly more difficult to introduce new players to the Battle gamemode if it had to go through mods. Although it's a bit late for me to rant I'd like to hear from the rest of the community. I'm aware that not everyone is dedicated to multiplayer its a huge concern as it has been my personal reason to keep playing the game for so long. I've accumulated at least 2000 hours most of which were spent in MP.

When to swear fealty?

No matter which module I'm playing try to become a faction vassal as soon as I can. However, I quickly get annoyed by my faction's poor strategy and idiotic behavior. Is it better to wait a while? Recently I've become a Shimazu vassal in Gekokujo and I'm running into the same problem. Four lords spent several days besieging a castle, three lords just leave at the battle start and the one who stays had like 30 guys. Although I've been playing off and on since 2011 I'm not a very good player in terms of strategy and using the game's mechanics to my advantage. Is it better to wait a while for the faction you like to improve or is it better to join immediately? Should I have become a Samurai retainer instead? Another thought I had is that the game makes your chosen faction stupider as balance. I've set campaign AI to low because I read that all it does is let the lords cheat.

Concept On Marriage: How to make marriage impact the gameplay in a fun way!

TL:DR; I know nothing about moding/coding. I am just proposing (get it?) two kinds of marriage for the player to enhance gameplay and how they interact with the world. For guys, marriage is simply chore to get some nice relations and right-to-rule. For gals, marriage is... honestly I'm not sure; from what I've seen it's just a way to get vassalage into the faction, which is probably the slowest way to do it in my opinion. I've thought of a way to make marriage for both parties in this game much more impactful and meaningful in your gameplay for either Bannerlord or some high-level overhaul-mod! This is just an concept/idea, I'm not even sure if it would be possible to code this into any game as it may be a bit too time-consuming or too much code, but I thought I'd put this out there. The two types of marriages I am pondering are the following: 1. Nobles and/or Lords (For Women) & Ladies-In-Waiting (For Men) 2. Village Companions (For Men & Women) For...

Motivational: "When we first made M&B, we sent our demos to big game publishers, no one replied back!"

I -for obvious and desperate reasons- was browsing M&B videos on youtube and stumbled upon this interview of Armagan Yavuz where he was talking about how they started M&B first. I quote him below -sorry for my terrible translation skills- When we were first developing the game, our plans were to develop it to some degree, make a demo and send it to main publishers to attract some attention from them. So we made the demo, burn it into cds and sent to publishers with FedEx! But we never heard anything from any of them! He also tells in another obscure video (around 9:30) I found that their initial goal was to sell around 100-200 copies! But then people liked the game and basically, the game grew by word of mouth on the internet forums. Anyway, I thought this could be a nice motivation for other indie game developers out there who could be in the line for another M&B like success story.

Questions on the cultures of Bannerlord to Warband

So I've been wondering a lot on the culture of Bannerlord and how they transition to the ones of Warband.

Then there are the war band factions. (These are my interpretations, and i apologize if you disagree) The Khergit: Mongol/Turkic steppe peoples The Nords: The Norse The ...

How much of Calradia is directly historically based?

I was recently listening to a podcast about Byzantine history and a battle was mentioned at Aleppo, which at the time was called Baroea . "That," I thought, "Sounds suspiciously like 'Bariyye'". Which led me to question the whole thing. Do other settlements, or even NPCs (we all know Ragnar is named after Travis Fimmel, for example) have names inspired by something historical? Is there a town in France that sounds a little too much like "Uxhkal"? Or did I just find a coincidence, and am chasing my tail over nothing?

Suvarnabhumi Mayahuth Elephants

At first, I was so excited to get them, but then I found out that the elephant's higher mounting point which makes elephant riders harder to reach and harder to kill, is also at the same time making them unable to reach and attack enemies no matter what kind of weapon they use. Also, another odd trait is that it seems that AI Elphant Riders' aim becomes a lot worse as well -- possibly due to the change in elevation. Elephants are cool looking and serve as great lumbering distractions to make enemies turn their heads, but other than that, it seems that they're simply white elephants.
