I’m a vasal with the Khuzaits and I feel like the AI is not doing me any favors. We were at war with Sturgia and the Aserai at the same time which was a nightmare because everyone was running north and south. Not at war with Sturgia anymore but as soon as we made peace with them Monchug went and declared war with the western empire. I have 15 fiefs and they all border the western empire. So while every place I own is getting attacked Monchug and all the other assholes have been fighting over Shibal Zumr Castle. One side takes it and back and forth so most of the army is over there. And I’m in the same situation over at Onica castle. I own it but they take it and then I take it back. No one is getting anywhere. I want to go on the offensive and take Zeonica but I just don’t have enough people and I don’t think I can get anymore. Any tips for this stalemate? And where do all their troops keep coming from? They keep coming with 1100 troop armies and I keep destroying them, shouldn’t the...
Vanilla Warband wanted to know how Weapon mastery worked, Google was not being helpful so did a little testing. Summary is, weapon mastery does not "technically" increase rate of proficiency gains. If you have 100 in one handed weapons it does not matter if you have 2 or 10 weapon mastery the next 40 points of proficiency will be gained at the same rate. Weapon mastery simply removes the penalty for hitting the soft cap. When you hit the soft cap a penalty is applied that gets worse and worse the further you get from the soft cap. You only have to keep weapon mastery 1 point ahead of the cap to get full benefit from it.
For example with 140 proficiency and 0 weapon mastery (Soft cap of 60) only 19 points were gained from around 350 murders, where as someone with sufficient weapon mastery to not hit soft cap could gain 76 points for roughly the same damage. If that same character had 1 in weapon mastery (soft 100) they could have gained 27 point, with 2 weapon mastery (Soft 140) 43 points. So pick a number say 260 and then minus 60 to 80 points from it, that's as low as your weapon mastery should be if you want to hit that target it in a reasonable time frame.
Testing was done with a cheated imported character going super easy solo on a town (350 defenders). Character had 140 in two handed and zero weapon mastery to start. Saved the game at this point and killed everyone in the town with a two hander. Noted the gains, reloaded the game, changed the weapon mastery and rinse repeat. Their will be a little variance in the data as some runs I will hit more head shots than others.
Character started with 140 proficiency.
WM - Proficiency,
0 - 159,
1 - 167,
2 - 183,
5 - 215,
6 - 217,
10 - 216,
