Conversational ai in sandbox rpgs?

I recently saw a mod for this game that adds conversational ai to the game, even letting quests be started among other things. This got me thinking if maybe this is a good thing to integrate in these kinds of sandbox rpgs where there isn't a fixed story or moving voicelines. It could add some immersion and personal stakes if officially integrated and fully fleshed out. I kind of like the idea, what do you think? submitted by /u/Busy-Blacksmith5898 [link] [comments]

Is there a mod to import the Viking Conquest formation system into Native?

I've been playing VC for the past week and decided to go back to my old save in regular (Diplomacy Mod) game. I just can't go back to forming units up manually after having VC's memorable and unit placement mechanics. Are there any mods or workshop items that add this system to the regular game?

Trading mods

So I'm doing a caravan playthrough mostly trading and such. Not focusing on combat at all just tryna get rich. Are there any good mods for improving the experience?

Warband: Next steps?

Need an idea of what to do next. I'm currently part of the Nords and have 3 fiefs and 1 castle that I captured (Tevarin). The Vaegirs only have Khudan remaining, all the starting Swadian cities are under Nord control as well. I have a wife, train troops in the castle, have 5 enterprises and can currently support an Army of 80. I'm nearly at day 200 and thinking about my next moves, I've never really started my own faction before Submitted June 30, 2018 at 01:23AM by SiviUK87 https://ift.tt/2MAzQk9

Alright, why can't I besiege castles or towns?

The tides have finally turned and I'm attacking the Rhodoks, but now I'm not given the option to besiege any of their places. I am at war with them and I have -60 rep with them yet I can't do anything, yay. What could be the problem? I currently have: 150 Soldiers, A companion with 5 Engineer, Very bad rep against the faction. And I'm still not given the option. Edit: The war literally just ended 2 minutes after I made this post, well crap. Submitted June 30, 2018 at 03:50AM by Zadokok https://ift.tt/2yVCz5A

Just got Rivacheg

So I am a lord of the Rhodoks and I was able to get Senugzda Castle after taking it without any help and holding it against the onslaught of Swadians. A lot of time passes, I get some villages, but what I really want is Dhirim. However that is passed to my father in law. Cue a couple of days later and the king grants me Rivacheg out of the blue. How do I hold on to this when it is so deep within Vaegir territory? It is a prosperous town so I make a bunch of money from it. Submitted June 30, 2018 at 12:42AM by 3rd-wheel https://ift.tt/2yTWpOT

Bad games spoiled us

With every dev blog I see more and more desperate people angrily demanding the release of the game. Well, seeing how other games are only in development for 2-3 years, the frustration is justified, right? Wrong. We forget that the small company based in Turkey that is making this game is TaleWorlds. They try their best to make a very high quality game, and are not going to release the game until it is fully finished. I think the frustration is caused by all the poor quality cash-grabs that are popular these days. CoD, BF, PUBG, etc. Even the games that are highly praised right now a lot of times are not high quality games, they don't have so much effort put into them, they feel hollow and empty. Bannerlord on the other hand, is going to be a handcrafted masterpiece, and with every dev blog I'm more and more convinced of that. I rest assured that if we just give TaleWorld the time they need, they will build a world most interesting and exciting to explore and conquer, and I wil...

Unlikely idea for Bannerlord

what if when you approach a city and the menu to siege or shop and stuff comes up, there’s a new option to set up a staging ground. How a staging ground would work is that you would set up some tents or something outside of the city. Setting up these would allow you to build the siege structures faster. However it would draw more attention to you, so nearby lords would come and investigate. If you have a good enough army the weaker ones will back off, but the stronger party’s could attack. When they do attack though, having a staging ground would let you bring more troops into better, like a percentage of your overall number. Maybe like 10-20%, which could be a big advantage depending on what troops you have. So yeah, that’s about it Submitted June 29, 2018 at 11:00PM by TGCX48 https://ift.tt/2Km3D3c

Homecoming Planning - Calradic Campaign #30

The Vaegirs are intent on righting an old wrong. The Fall of Rivacheg and subsequent looting of the once "impenetrable" city has been a prevalent stain on the reign of King /u/Saultnami . While many agree that the walls could not hope to stand after weeks of continuous siege weapon bombardment, Nord King /u/Smug_Alpaca have used every opportunity to rub sa(u)lt in the wound. Newly nicknamed "Rubacheg" by the occupying forces, the city has been looted of nearly everything valuable. It is unconfirmed whether or not this includes the body of the late King Yaroglek. After rapid remilitarization, the Vaegirs are once again ready to avenge the loss of an important landmark. While they cannot hope to drive the huscarls out of the now repaired fortress, the boyars have devised a cunning plan to drive the Nords away from the city. While the Jarls are surely expecting a counter offensive on Rivacheg, a sudden thrust into Knudarr and Tehlrog castle is sure to catch them o...

I can never get my renown above 900

I always see people talking about getting their renown to 1000 before starting a kingdom. Well I've started mine and I own the top slab from the nords now with my renown at 880. I've been running around trying to get it up and I've been monitoring it after battles from time to time, it was up to 884 a little bit ago but I've done nothing to my knowledge to lower my renown. I haven't lost tournaments or battles or land in a long time, I'm currently at peace with all other kingdoms. I'm also using the Diplomacy mod. Anyone with any suggestions?

Helping a Claimant Win Their Throne

Very new player to M&B. I decided to help Lady Isolla of Suno win back her throne from King Harlaus. So far I have taken every territory from the Kingdom of Swadia, and now everything belongs to the Swadia Rebels. However, I have not been able to convince every Count under King Harlaus to join me (I only have three), and the quest to help Isolla isn’t over. I’ve heard I’m supposed to have a good relationship with the Counts to win them over, but I’ve kicked their asses so many times in battle that the rest hate my guts. So my question is what do I do now? I have 12 Counts as prisoners at the moment... Do I release them? Do I go and search for the remaining ones? Thanks for any help!

What the hell am I supposed to do against Rhodoks?

The first problem is that they're the strongest opponent on the fields, so I can't really prioritize them there. The second problem is that I can't besiege them because first their castles are specifically designed and optimized for them, open and carefully placed crossbowmen everywhere, while their sergeants are somehow destroying your strongest infantry somehow, WHILE their crossbowmen are melting your other infantry. I tried going around and taking out the crossbowmen first, no results. I tried going all out on the infantry defending the first wall, no results. It honestly makes me question what the devs were thinking when balancing them. I would really appreciate all help, and tips like "Just lower difficulty and melt them" I won't accept. Thank you.

Question about NW today and some nostalgic rambling

Back when I first got into napoleonic wars (username was Salah_al_Din, if anyone remembers me) I tried joining a regiment. It didn’t go very well- partly because I didn’t have time but mostly because I was just a kid. Unfortunately for me, I’m pretty sure that was when the servers were at their peak population so I’ve probably missed NW’s golden age, but I still wanted to ask what the state of it is today. Part of the reason is that I have something of a renewed interest for it, but to be honest I’m mostly just curious because of the nostalgia I’ve been feeling for that time recently. NW and sometimes native were really the only multiplayer games I played as a kid. That was the first time I actually talked with strangers online- random stuff in the regular servers, and messing around in those wonderfully clumsy roleplay ones. It was the first time I was actually “bullied”. Having your username as Salah_al_Din, as it turned out to a kid who in real life had never been made fun of for...

A WFAS mod that is sorely deserving of more credit!

Recently downloaded The English Civil War mod for WFAS, and I’ve gotta say I’m shocked it hasn’t garnered more attention. I’ve actually played WFAS quite a bit and I know it’s not quite as popular but I’m telling you, give this mod a chance. The dev clearly knows his history and has planted little Easter eggs referring to the period throughout. The gameplay stays pretty true to the period, even your best cavalry won’t hold up against a wall of rabble armed with piles, and you can sort of pepper in a healthy mix of muskets and really get a feel for the age of pike and shot. If you own WFAS and have any interest in historical mods (disclaimer: I love history), I can’t recommend it enough. Submitted June 26, 2018 at 09:56AM by Comrade_Hotspur https://ift.tt/2tFqTyh

GoT mod kill prisoner flawed

Ok so hear me out I understand lords of Westeros wouldnt be too happy if some nobody with a warpaty went around cutting the heads of lords he beat in battle. But I dont understand how 1 murder pretty much breaks the entire fucking game. I captured a Lannister lord or 2 and kept them as prisoner. Shortly after I get the message that lord Stark has been beheaded in kings landing, something came over me and while in "international waters" (darker part of water between essos and westeros) the Lannister lord ends up dying. 1st of all, how would anyone know I killed him in the middle of the ocean? Are my men snitches? I need an option to kill the snitch then. And 2nd. Why do ALL lords get pissed off? Rob stark even gets mad at me and makes me pay like $500 to have peace with him again after I just killed a member of the family that murdered his daddy. Even other lords in Westeros I could understand, but within a day all of essos knows too and has shut its ports? What the hell is u...

Not dissing mods here, but I know for me I've got 328 hours with god only knows how many offline hours and I've never been able to get into a mod for very long, with the except of making my battle size infinite.

How do you personally use the cheats in warband? Do you add a roleplay element? Do you pretend you have "powers"? Or do you ctrl alt f4 every time you lose a troop?

Was curious, since a lot of people admit to using cheats in the game. Personally, I use cheats to avoid tedium, like the godawful "track down bandits" quest, where you either find them 1 day before quest expiration or not at all. I also roleplay the teleportation as me having "messengers". Makes it easier to manage fiefs and consult with lords, etc. Submitted June 25, 2018 at 08:13AM by DeclanFrost https://ift.tt/2MosZdz

Cheeky dutch

Sorry if I’m Breaking any rules posting this story about L’aigle. Couldn’t tell from the rules if it was okay or not. Some quick backstory: Started playing the L’aigle mod recently. Manager to get a 135-man-army composed of only British grenadiers. I’m attacking a dutch general and during the first battle, he decides to charge together with his cavalry. He goes down and his troops retreat. We’re fighting in the forest, so I can’t see very far. The second battle starts off well: anticipate the cavalry charge by forming a square and opening fire just before impact. Manage to whipe out most of their cavalry and I suddenly see their infantry run away. Hurray! Easy win. Decide to bayonet charge them as they retreat. Suddenly the forrest opens up and they’ve formed a new line and start picking off my scrabled forces who haven’t reloaded their guns. Now I have to retreat back! All went well, but I was surprised by the cheeky tactic. Learned my lesson I guess; don’t get cocky, as you’ll lo...

Module.ini tweaks that may increase performance from your favorite mod.

"reduce_texture_loader_memory_usage = 1" and "use_scene_unloading = 1" (remove quotes) While reduce texture loading is quite popular among the more well-known mods, I believe scene unloading slightly increases load times while giving you increased performance.

I'm literally dying and will never play bannerlord

Hey reddit, it's been a while since I posted here, spent most of my time on /v/ these past years but for this subject I honestly felt like I wanted to explain my predicament to an audience who wouldn't tell me I'm a faggot. I've been playing Warband since 2012, to this day I still enjoy playing it and ever since the bannerlord announcement; I, like many others, have slowly become more and more uninspired as the release is pushed further and further back.

The day before last I was put under anesthesia to see if the holes could be stinted via groin camera and I've been told the holes in my valves have become much larger and increased in number. Open heart surgery is the immediate option but I've been told they're doubtful. If ...

Which Mount and Blade mod has the best army composition and unit diversity?

As a Total War fan. I'm rather dissapointed with the simplistic unit tech trees of Warlord. Very few unique units and factional ones are too overspecialized like the Rhodoks, Khergits and the Nords unless you decide to recruit from the other factions. Strangely, That's why I like the Sarranids for having both good but not great missile, infantry and cavalry options in their own faction. Another reason why I like how Fire&Sword handles it's units.

Some vassal questions

So I just rebelled and created my own kingdom. I have 3 towns, a castle, and a few villages. This is the first game of warband I've played so I am a little lost, so I have a few questions: 1) I don't have that many fiefs to give out (actually, I only want to give out a village or two right now), but there are a few lords that I believe are the honorable ones that I want eventually who are currently waiting in my castle. Will they eventually give up and leave, or will they still be there ready to become vassals in another month after I conquer some more castles and villages to give out? 2) Why would I use a companion as a vassal? That removes the companion from your party, correct, and then I no longer have an unkillable killing-machine/party-skill-machine in my party and have to train a new one up from scratch? 3) Is there any way to check if a lord is honorable/friendly/etc. other than talking to them after a battle? I've met a lot of the lords in my previous kingdom A...

Having trouble getting the game to run

Hey guys, I was lucky enough to get the game gifted during this sale, and I've been hoping to play it... but I can't seem to actually get the game to run. I can open the launcher, which gives me the option to select the module, and which one I pick doesn't really matter - the same thing happens. The TaleWorlds logo vid shows up, finishes, and then closes. After that my screen goes dark blue, and I can see the in-game mouse which I can move as well. After that the game just closes. It doesn't give me any errors whatsoever. I have already tried messing with most of the options in the launcher, but nothing seems to work. I've also tried editing the module.ini ini file to change "disable_moveable_flag_optimization = 0" to "= 1", which didn't work.

After 1000 in game days of grinding, I’m finally ready to play the game

I’m playing Viking Conquest. I’m a Norse pagan named Snorre Bjornson. I’ve been working on this character off and on for over a year now. Basically, what I did was I slowly worked my way through the campaign as I raided and did quests for lords, villages, and towns. I used the money that I got to buy an enterprise in every single town, to equip myself and my companions with good weapons and armor, and to build a custom fleet of boats. At first, I started raiding monasteries because it was quick and easy money, but then Christians hated me so much that Christian factions started to become hostile towards me, so I had to covert to Christianity and then donate enough money to the church to have a positive relationship with them before converting back to paganism. Next, I strictly raided caravans and trading ships from 2-3 Christian factions that I didn’t like. I never raided a single village. Around day 750 is when I stopped being a viking because I no longer needed money. At that poin...

Bannerlord Roulette

So, a few weeks ago, there was a thread in r/gaming where I made a bet under my old (now deleted) account that I would eat a toenail clipping from every toe of mine if a release date was not made known at Gamescon 2018. My logic was that the game seems to be almost finished, so Taleworlds skipped the mostly American E3 in favour of the more European Gamescon to announce a release date for their game. Since then, however, u/Callum_Taleworlds has suggested that we will not get a release date at Gamescon. Unfortunately for me, I am still committed to my wager. So I invite you to join me. Make your guesses and stake them on ridiculous wagers with me. Eat a stick of butter. Eat a dick. Eat a pinecone. Say "release date when" a million times on camera. Marry your horse. So even if we're still broken-hearted without Bannerlord we'll have the sweet, sweet karma that comes with following through with your bets on reddit, as well as some top tier shitposts. What say you?...

[PENDOR] Should I join a KO before founding one?

This is my second play of Pendor and I'm playing as a Ravenstern merc at the moment and am just trying to gain relation and money before joining as a vassal. I currently have ~250K and want to wait until maybe 300 or 350K before joining up. Once I join, I want to create my own Stormborn knighthood order (GOT much?).

Kraken cult and Raven Spear look really cool and my relation isn't bad with them.

I know it's always either been said it wasn't coming or was unlikely because the console version was more or less just to see if it was possible/profitable on consoles.

PoP - money/economy trouble

I am in my first full playthrough in Pendor and I have a crippling problem: I am broke, poor, and on the verge of losing troops due to lack of money. It is day 970 or so. To get this out of the way: Yes, I have enterprises in every town. I currently own Laria and a nearby castle, and aside from Lord Roland who has a village I own all of the villages. I have about 500 troops in Laria, 350 in the castle, and I have around 490 troops in my army. I bleed about 15k per week. During peace, I have been running around doing tournaments, or taking down spawns (for the gold bars and prisoners, I always choose QG over diamonds). I got to the point where I almost gave away my land to my vassal to stay afloat. I am now in a war where I am turning a profit by capturing lords and ransoming them back, however it means I can no longer pump honour (only 200 at present). And the only reason I will make my pay day this week is because I just ransomed Ulric for 28k. My questions: Is this normal or...

[AWOIAF] How to add Custom Sails?

I looked it up and it's apparently as easy as dragging a good-looking .dds file to a folder in Textures in the module called "Custom Sails" Problem is, that's for Viking Conquest. AWOIAF has no "Custom Sails" folder at all. Which brings me to the title, how do I go about adding my own design for sails? Maybe u/Produno can help?

I just wanted to say that I hope the caravan system from WF&S is in Bannerlord. To me at least it was a pretty fun way to engage with the economy of the game and the towns. Submitted June 15, 2018 at 09:15AM by Lukepop https://ift.tt/2JXgWGk

Vassal of a vassal

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I heard during a old ass taleworlds interview that they said instead of just becoming a vassal of a kingdom You can become a vassal of a lord so pretty much a squire with Thanes or (freemen) If that's true and I'm not just hearing shit I wonder what other features they have with it say like the Lord have to many flefs that he can't take care of properly. He just gives you all recruitment,tax,etc rights exchange of you watching over it in his absence I can really see this feature being great due to the shortages of lords when the campaign first starts But then again my mine could just be playing tricks on me and the butterlord himself is driving me bat shit crazy Submitted June 15, 2018 at 03:17AM by spicyboijohnny https://ift.tt/2lcwZSX

PTI feature idea: passive relations with villages you recruit from

So I had an idea for Persistent Troop Identities and thought I'd get feedback about it. It would be an optional feature that can be toggled on and off in mod settings, cause I can certainly imagine not everybody liking it. So the idea is, when the player recruits from villages, the troops could send a portion of their income back home (this wouldn't necessarily actually affect prosperity). As that money rolls in you gain relations with the village proportional to what they get. If troops from a village remain in your service for a long time the village would be fairly happy with you. This will be amplified quite a bit if you upgrade the troops and are thus paying them higher wages. On the other hand, when troops from a village die, you would lose relations with the home village. If you keep leading recruits into slaughters you could quickly find that relations are now negative and villages are refusing to let you take anyone else (at least until you do some quests for them to...

my first game in warband

so I start the game off as a male, son of nobleman, squire trained and looking for revenge in swadia. I do the quest thingy in the beggining and it's going okay. I had watched some begginner guides so I kinda knew how to start the game. So I'm going around killing bandits and doing quests and the such. out of these one stands out where count Despin asked me to tax his fief Amere and bring him the money, so I do that but for some reason the quest wasn't completing so I told him that I wouldn't be able to do it and he got kinda mad but it's okay. and thus I was just a bloke with like 15 soldiers and 5000d. at some point I encountered count Klargus (or smth idk) and became a mercenary. now with a (somewhat) steady income I built up my forces (around 25-30 men) and went to join the fight. now at this point Swadia was at war with the Nords, The Khergit Khanate and the Sarranid Sultanate. Problem is I didn't really know how to do combat and I ended up getting defe...

[AWOIAF] Item finder menus?

How do I defeat (bugged?) 600 man armies?

The leader of the Vaegirs and the Sarranids both have a somehow sky-high number of followers, the vaegir leader's party is 450 man big, the sarranid's is 590. I have literally no way to kill them. I have 9 vassals, all of them have at least 100 man parties, they are all in positive relation with me, but when I give the command to join me on a campaign only about 2 or 3 joins me, the others are just running around patrolling, and even tho that brings my combined number to about 500 man, they all flee when they see the 570 man army. Is there a tweak or mod that would either let me destroy these big parties, or that would actually make my vassals useful? I could get around the fact that they somehow get 570 man in a single party if my vassals' AI wouldn't be so ridiculously stupid, but this way I don't stand a chance.

So playing Prophecy of Pendor and kinda screwed up..

So i have achieved victory with sarleon as the winning faction at 1680 days. In the time of those days i had only 1 chance to rebel which i forbid since i wasn't very strong and my knighthood order wasn't upgraded much. Now im sitting with a fully red map and have the desire to start my own kingdom. Problem is, i don't know how to do that without losing my fiefs valonbray janos and ishkoman and a couple of villages (valonbray is where my cko is located and is standing pretty strong and getting stronger). So my question is is there anyway for me to go off on my own without losing all my fiefs? Submitted June 11, 2018 at 01:45PM by Kilazza https://ift.tt/2JAJmm2

What is the "Swadian Knight of sieges?" How to capture things?

So I'm wondering, is there an unit that can win siege battles like the swadian knight does normal ones? With my swadian knight army I can win 120v200 battles easily, but capturing castles defended by ~180 enemies is impossible no matter what troops I bring. I need to get other lords to help me in order to capture castles defended by more than 150 enemies? But then I don't get to keep it, right?

[gekokujo] I am a newb pls halp

New to Mount & Blade, played around with Native and Vikings a bit, for about 1 in-game month on each. Not what I was looking for. Gekokujo seems perfect. I have no idea what I'm doing, and I don't wanna get my hind handed to me all the time, so if it matters, I've got all my options on beginner till I get the hang of it. Didn't wanna deal with the custom faction thing early game, so I picked to NOT be a noble. As the son (male) of a Ji-samurai (father), with my points balanced between 1H and Archery, where would be the best region to start? Specifically looking to make some Mon early, and gain as much XP as possible in the meantime, as a short term goal. So for the first 10 hours or so I put into this character, I plan to grind outlaws and cap my recruiting at about 15-20. Or possibly join a faction early on if that helps. idk. That's the kind of advice I'm here for. Have at it, and thanks for your time. :) Submitted June 10, 2018 at 03:15PM by Shi-Ro...

[AWOIAF] Recruitment issues

I don't know what it is but every village seems like it's just had me recruit from there... They are empty of recruits 90% of the time for whatever reason, even though I haven't been there before. It's making building an army extremely difficult as only 1 in 10 villages actually give troops. Submitted June 10, 2018 at 08:31AM by Gutsyou https://ift.tt/2l1UsG0

So, someone tried to recruit me for a regiment.

Okay first, not sure if this is against /r/mountandblade rules. I got a friends request from some random and he asked me if I would like to join a regiment for mount and blade. He asked me if I wanted to join and I said sure and told him to give me a bit because I was busy. In the screenshot , the beginning was cut out, but the first thing he asked me was "Are you a muslum." And that's where the screenshots start on. Also, here is the steam group for the regiment .

Trying to start Prophecy of Pendor, but I'm lost - help?

I'm trying PoP for the second or third time now, and I'm struggling a bit in figuring out what to do to build up my character and warband (if indeed I should do so) and advance in the world I've tried to read a few "guides" and such, but they're pretty scattered and often outdated. One of them said to start with the Ravenstern, but they're hostile to me for some reason. Presumably because of something I chose during character creation, but I don't know what (very little is explained here) so I ended up with the Fiersvein, outside Javiksholm. I've done a few of the basic starter quests so far but that's it. Is it possible to become affiliated with the Ravenstern at this point? If so, how do I repair my reputation with them? What else should I be doing to get character established in this world? It's clear there's a lot of polish and rich depth here, but it's all a bit obscure. I'm not an expert at Warband but I've pla...

AWOIAF vs POP

Been playing POP for a while now, I honestly believe that its the greatest mod I've ever played.

Badass Caravan

One of my caravans was being attacked by 2 lords, so I intervened. Inbetween the battle though I accidentally pressed the retreat button and it gave me the option to retreat. That gave me a funny idea. I swooped down and knocked out most of the troops, leaving a few alive and ran away. The caravan had about 27 alive (not counting unconscious) left, so it won the auto battle and imprisoned both armies. Now it goes around the world trading, the captives always in tow.

Favorite units in Anno Domini: 1257

I'm curious as to which units people find to be their favorite. Whatever unit you like, let me know and explain why. Personally, I believe that my favorite unit is probably the Hospitaller Brother-Knight. Not only are they completely murderous in combat, but they look stylish at the same time. Black armor with white crosses, they rule the battlefield with sword and spear. It sucks you must be in the Crusader States to get them, so I'd recommend an investment into at least fifteen of them before you leave.

A thank you to the community in here

I have a job that leaves me sitting on my arse doing fuck all productive at times. Or more like I can't be bothered to do anything productive because it's work and that means I actually have to do shit when I don't want to. Thankfully instead of doing productive shit because I can't be bothered I have you guys. Thanks to your discussions and debates and primarily your shitposting my days become managable. I can live through the day until I come home and get some butter and do something producitve, like playing Mount & Blade and crying because Bannerlord will never be released. So thank you. And please keep the shitposts coming. It helps some of us get through the day. Submitted June 04, 2018 at 02:53AM by storgodt https://ift.tt/2J6JtcV

Anyone else have trouble with Hrus caste or am I doing something wrong?

First off how do you guys do siege’s? Do you take out the archers before you push the siege tower? Second, what do you guys do when in the castle cause stuff starts getting medieval in these castles. You either gotta stay on the castle wall and fight or go to the ground where the troops spawn all while getting destroyed by archers. For the most part I do alright in siege’s but this one I have to push the siege tower up a hill and it takes forever and my men get destroyed in that stretch of time. Any advice will help though Submitted June 03, 2018 at 05:51AM by JosephStall https://ift.tt/2xAXlHh

A mod for single player somewhat native like ?

So, I was lurking on the net not knowing what to do when I saw a video of soviet womble playing mount and blade warband. That made me want to go back and play it again. Last time I played I think it was 2016. But I don't want to play the basic native, I want to try a mod, I remember playing floris evolved or expanded or something like that a few times, so I'd like to avoid this mod and look for some other mod. But I'd like for it to still be the basic world. Is there any mod out there that is native based, but just as good as floris ? Like, a bunch of new stuff added, especially in new ways to do stuff, like diplomacy and investing in things in towns etc? I'm willing to give a try if it's another floris but one I haven't tried before, I saw cadmus floris on nexus has a 2018 date. And I'd rather play something that wasn't avaible when I stopped playing. Thanks for the help guys ! Submitted June 02, 2018 at 02:45PM by DCamacho2 https://ift.tt/2Hd...
