What do you think the strongest perks in the game are?

in terms of overall impact for me I’d say it’s between leadership 250(extra clan party one) and medicine 275. one gives you between 2-300 extra troops and the other makes your parties troops significantly stronger. honorable mention to charm 200 for making starting your own kingdom playable, and trade 300 for obvious reasons. submitted by /u/Miserable-Act4201 [link] [comments]

Recruitment laws in 1257 ad

I have the lance recruitment system activated. My chamberlain gives me the option to change the recruitment laws for nobles and commoners in my fiefs. What exactly are the effects of this? I assume more lances will be ready if I demand it but what’s the downside? Submitted September 01, 2019 at 02:13AM by Sashquatch1031 https://ift.tt/2ZpU8aS

A fun way to play Floris: businessman soldier

So in Floris, you can join the king to fight alongside him. He will give you a couple troops. Over time you can get promotions. Note that this is basically a lower position than a mercenary, but you just travel around with the king. So you are always in these big 300+ person battles, making 200+ denars a week from that. I have been taking all my denars and buying businesses wherever we go. I now have 5 businesses, mostly breweries, one dyeworks. I am making over 1500 denars per week in profit now, and spending the game traveling around, having fun in battles, and building excellent relations with both Swadia and King Halraus. so if Swadia falls, I still have my businesses, and if my businesses fail (some of them are in enemy territory), I can fall back on being a soldier.

Something I plan on doing once Bannerlord is out.

This idea is dependent on 2 pieces of speculation. I saw that a lord was executable, so I speculate that the player character is also no longer immortal. That poor honor no longer counts has negative score. Anyway, my plan is to be a total bastard. Raid villages, kill lords, be as big a bad guy as possible, do as much damage as I can in a single life. And then try to get a bigger score next time. A black knight play through, if you will. Submitted August 31, 2019 at 05:18PM by ginofgan https://ift.tt/2ZEdcgJ

Singleplayer in the Early Access?

Probably it was asked few times already, but I didn't found a definite answer. Will the Early Access version of the game (relased in March 2020) include singleplayer, or will it be multiplayer-only? Did someone from Taleworlds said anything about this? Submitted August 31, 2019 at 12:56PM by Inarr1 https://ift.tt/2HAGVkI

The War of Wheat - Calradic Campaign #44

The west has exploded with open warfare between the Vlandian coalition against the Vaegir empire. The Sarranids have remained adamant supporters of the hegemon earning itself gains in Rhodok territory. With Vlandians pushed back, the alliance of Snow and Sand has taken this opportunity to prepare the full annexation of the west. Dhirim, the jewel of Calradia, has for months been providing the food and supplies necessary for the war effort. However the strain of warfare has led to its limit. The city's leadership declared itself unable to provide the alliances' armies with the necessary supplies. Fortunately the recent summer has provided an irregular amount of rainfall to the Sarranid's eastern regions resulting in a surplus of crops. With the solution to their food crisis apparently solved, Sultan Arthanas ordered the use of Sarranid convicts to transport the much needed food to the front lines. However, in the North the Khergits had not forgotten their alliance with th...

Warband without Internet Connection

So I just wanted to share some knowledge in case others were having trouble playing M&B:W without an internet connection. Mine will say that it can't pull the product key when I'm not on some sort of internet. The steps to bypass this are: Steam > Library > M&B:W (right click) > Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files... > mb_warband.exe That will start the game like normal. Hope this helps someone!

You could be Harlaus great... Grandfather

The events of Bannerlord happens before Warband and if you play long enough you eventually get to the same era.

My thoughts on the "In The Name Of Jerusalem." Crusader mod

So, I recently downloaded ITNOJ and by god, one of my favourite mods by FAR. It's better than even SOF. In my opinion, here's why. It's made by a Chinese mod team, so English translation is a little rough around the edges, and the mod itself is still in development. You can play as either a crusader or muslim and choose from a variety of starts, as a peasant, squire, knight or lord, each having different starting stats and equipment. There's some really impressive scenes at work. It starts with you arriving at a port in Jerusalem, and straight away there's a group of armed Templars that walk off escorting some pilgrims, it was really cool when I saw it. You can't recruit from villages, and have to recruit from taverns, but it's not too hard to manage monetarily if you know what you're doing, going after bandits and stuff. It's set in 1187, so expect a lot of mail and mid period medieval weapons, there's a lot of Italian, and French mercenaries ...

So what's up with Nadia's story? (Floris)

She has perhaps the weirdest story in the game and AFAIK its never revealed how much of it is true. Her dialogue with Nizar and Marnid are self explanatory and suggest she either made it up or something actually happened and made her crazy. At least I think her claim about Nizar being there is BS but I may be biased bc he is my fav companion. That said I want to point out her stats which are 3 power strike, iron flesh, weapon master and even 1 shield, when was the last time you saw a farmer girl with those stats? So Im curious if maybe she is a reference to a movie or smthng or the mod author cleared it up or if not just want to hear your opinion Submitted August 31, 2019 at 03:59AM by urmomgeynou https://ift.tt/2LiLnFJ

Any tips for a Vassal only playthrough?

I got marshal position but realized it was annoying as most of the lords don't even try to support you. I want to try and do large scale attacks on towns where the entire realm is there to support so our losses are evenly split amongst the realm. That doesn't happen though and instead I get the King's 300 troops and maybe another 90 at best from random lords. I'm 450 days in, 850 renown, and 50 honor. I have 2 towns and a castle. All of my troops together is around 800. I've got 100k denars saved up. What can I do from this point? Submitted August 31, 2019 at 01:12AM by thighGAAPdeduction https://ift.tt/2HAJ6ol

(Question) How do you guys deal with the huge armies of monarchs in Native?

The title explains mostly everything but I will add more info here for better clarity. I am playing on 133% I have two towns, one with about 400 troops and the other with about 300 troops. I have three castles, about 150 troops in all of them on average. I have many towns that I just lost count, but more than 3. I have 7 companions, all of them have 4 training skills and their level is mostly over 15. The fighting companions have a level of 20 or higher. I can easily and quickly build an army of about 90 high tier heavy cavalry including Swadian Knights (personal favourite currently) and Sarranid Mamlukes (used to be favourite, currently garrisoned in one of my towns and used when necessary). Nord Huscarls are a pain to get but I can get about 30 of them in maybe 15 minutes of heavy and constant uninterrupted training. I did experiments with different monarchs. (Currently butterking Harlaus with his 350+ army, Yaroglek with about 390 troops, and Ragnar with about 360 troops. With Har...

Pendor - Throwing Weapons Thread

New to Pendor, does someone want to explain to me why Vanskerry Raiders are out here throwing their axes like they are some kind of American Sniper for half my health?I get there is a distinct difficulty increase in Pendor from Native, and for the most part I have been having a lot of fun learning new mechanics and interacting with the world, but damn man, they have more axes than I do arrows with 2 quivers so I spend half my fights galloping around praying not to be hit.

Some background on the Byzantine, Shahi, Rabati, etc. helmets?

​ In order I would like to get some context on those six helmets that are deactivated by default in the game files. The Byzantion Helmet is, as title suggests, a helmet either inspired by, or copied straight from those used by the late Byzantine Roman Empire. Lore-wise, I think it was supposed to be some kind of a relic from the days of the Calradic Empire, but it was never implemented. Strangely enough, TW seems to have forgotten it altogether, because the Imperial troops in Bannerlord don't seem to use this particular type of helmet. (I wonder though, what type of Roman troops used it? I want to make a dedicated troop that is inspired by the real Byzantine soldiers that wore this helm, so, history buffs, a little help?) The Magyar Helmet is, likewise as title suggests, a helmet that was either inspired by, or copied from a helmet worn by the Magyars (read Hungarians). I have no idea what in-universe nation would wear it, since there doesn't seem to be any Magyar-inspire...

Prophecy of Pendor is one of the best damn mods out there. It feels like I'm playing the best version of Mount and Blade.

Title says it all. I downloaded the mod and started playing recently and... damn. Rock solid. The factions are balanced and there are so many more non-nation factions to be concerned with. There is a much larger variety in the difficulties of encounters and troop value. You can be whooping the ass of 150 Singalian Slavers one minute and get captured by 40 roving Noldor the next. The quests are great. I love the expansions with building up the villages. The heroes are interesting, and the knight orders are just plain badass. If you haven't given it a shot yet, I can't reccomend it highly enough. 10/10 makes me feel like slaying dirty outlaws again.

If you were to support the Empire in BL, which part of it would you support?

So, we know that in BL there are three imperial factions: the Northern Empire, ruled by the senate; the Southern Empire, ruled by Rhagaea, the widow of the former emperor; and the Western Empire, ruled by the military. If you were to side with the Empire (or if you are actually planning to), which of these would you side with, and why? Personally, I think I'd side with the Southern Empire, because I kinda like the idea of an empress, plus I dig the whole eastern vibe it has (or is supposed to have). Otherwise, I'm not sure. All three imperial factions seem to be equal in every respect, with only geography and aesthetics being different. Submitted August 27, 2019 at 08:37PM by DerPontifexDadaismus https://ift.tt/2HwbnMJ

Answering Questions about Bannerlord Beta

I started a comment offering to answer any question about the Beta (I have it!), or post screenshots, whatever you guys want, but I’m not sure how many people saw it. If you have questions, I’ll answer anything I can! AMA Imgur link for options screens: https://imgur.com/a/zYy5IJd Imgur link for gameplay and graphics screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/QbceW6L Quick answers and fun facts, I’ll be updating as I find more info: Arrow limits are pretty small in the pvp beta. Around 17-20 per quiver. I saw one 25 quiver on an elite Khuzait archer, which I think is meant to be a “Large bag”. Lots of archers take 2 quivers, so you’ll see them with 34-40 arrows. The arrow trail thing is an option, defaulted to 50%. You can turn it off. Screen resolutions have lots of options for different refresh rates, but I don’t see any Ultrawide options. I don’t have an ultrawide monitor, though, so it may simply be hidden. There is a “Desktop resolution” and “Custom” option, although Custom doesn’t ...

Banners in Bannerlord

Ironically, a downgrade from warband to bannerlord are the banners. I was really excited for the banner design feature but from what ive seen in the gamescom footage theyve been greatly simplified. According to armagan this is to make the game easier to take in for new players. Now instead of every family/clan having their own banner the whole kingdom is monochromic save the few different sigils on them.

Some awesome things noticed in the Bannerlord Gamescom footage!

Don't get me wrong I'm excited for all of the crazy new seige features and politics, but there are also some awesome little things that I think will make a big difference! It can be argued it's not that big of an issue, but when you beat an army in Warband with 100 prisoners most of whom are different troop types and you have to manually click to hire each of them taking you minutes at a time, it can be quite the pain in the ass. I notice there's a hire all and take all prisoners button, small but a massive improvement on warbands way of doing it. https://i.imgur.com/TPSbS7K.png Secondly, it seems lords can finally be captured by bandits. In warband lords would never be captured by bandits and if bandits defeated an army with a lord as a prisoner, they would free the lord. https://i.imgur.com/py8sk4r.png https://i.imgur.com/eljN7WE.png Finally, and probably my favourite thing so far, you can witness the economy of the cities in game, it shows as they gain unit...

Is this a bug

Hi all! I currently have my own Kingdom in Native Warband and I noticed a very interesting bug. Every King seemed to have indicted all their original lords for treason and essentially split those unoccupied fiefs between him (the king) and one other lord. This basically made the game extremely easy because all the other lords are running around with approximately 40 troops (because of their lack fo fiefs) besides the king and the one lucky lord. Now, when the strongest faction declared war on me, I had a very easy time conquering castles because I met no resistance except King Ragnar and Jarl Reichshin whom I defeated earlier. Another thing is that around 5 lords a day are indicted with their treason from their factions. So I was wondering if this a bug or due to my settings being at %20? Also if it helps I am 1500 days into the game. Cheers Submitted August 19, 2019 at 08:40PM by R3Donee https://ift.tt/2HfoPo6

Could the best army comp in vanilla be just plain Swadian Knights?

Feels like it. I've just had a nostalgic attack and started a new campaign in vanilla. I was trying to get the best army comp possible (Huscarls, Vaegir Archers and Swadian Knights) but I'm just wondering if it's not best to just have Swadian Knights. Most blows just scratch them, same for their horses, and they just charge and stomp every other troop. Other troops have their perks too, but they get killed more often. Huscarls get shot by archers while they are focusing on another enemy. Archers get destroyed by the cavalry or any good infantry troop. But Swadian Knights are just all terrain.

Thanks in advance! Submitted August 18, 2019 at 05:52AM by Nevaeyethor https://ift.tt/2NeD5RM

Perisno - How do I recruit Falcon nobles?

Hello all, I've successful joined the Realm of the Falcon. I waited about two weeks and found that the castles and towns didn't give me the option to hire nobles. So...I took a castle and the Marshal gave the castle to me. I waited another two weeks and I still don't have the option to hire nobles. Can anyone tell me how to hire falcon nobles? I'm so confused.

Going from vassal to ruler back to vassal

So this is probably a dumb decision but I really don't enjoy handling being a monarch. My kingdom is pretty strong and I have tons of troops garrisoned in a few towns/castles that I own so I'm not worried about getting wiped out. I'm strangely conflicted between wanting that sweet victory (in about 10 years of playing this game I've never seen a game through) as a monarch and taking what I see as the easy route -- i.e. winning through helping a faction take over the whole map. If it matters I was Swadia; Nords were defeated early and now that I rebelled with my spouse (Count Meltor, I played as a female for shits and giggles) my kingdom has a bunch of towns and castles. I also have way too many lords that came to me, most of which keep losing relation which I don't know what to do about. So anyways, if anyone has some advice or insight or just a similar story I'm all ears and hoping you guys can help me. :) Submitted August 17, 2019 at 08:55PM by metallic...

How do the mods work in this game?

This game probably has the weirdest way to run mods. Do they work if I select them from the scenario select? Or do they always work across all the scenarios, such as Native and Viking conquest. I am confused Submitted August 17, 2019 at 07:15PM by NoIAmSpartak https://ift.tt/31NVGs1

Can't Siege Castle?

Hiya. So, there's a castle I want to siege and take over (I am not part of any faction; I want it for myself). But the game just doesn't give me the option? Wat do? :o Submitted August 17, 2019 at 10:22PM by Anvanaar https://ift.tt/2KDtylu

When's the last time we saw banners in a battle?

Not trying to stir the pot, just genuinely curious. I realized recently we haven't seen banners in battles for a while. They featured heavily at e3 2017 ( screenshot ) ( screenshot ), but as far as I can tell the last time we saw them was a year ago at Gamescom 2018, in a much reduced capacity ( screenshot ) ( screenshot ). I also noticed they didn't feature at all in multiplayer or siege gameplay. So, what's the deal? Cloth physics eating up too much processor power? To be fair I should also mention that we've seen very few images of big battles in the year since last August. Submitted August 17, 2019 at 02:17PM by Kornwallis https://ift.tt/2MoYuIA

any full conversion mods that doesn't have 100 different factions?

it feels like some of the best mods out there always have like 100+ different factions. Something like gekokujo has like 20+ something factinons and they all sorta feel the same. i know fantasy mods have more unique factions but the number is still kinda overwhelming. Is there anything that's more in line with native number of factions? Submitted August 17, 2019 at 10:15AM by Ataniphor https://ift.tt/2Zcyu9g

How do I change ministers?

Basically I was under Arwa and during that time my husband either defected or got kicked out of her kingdom. After conquering the whole country for her I decided to leave her service and started taking her land to form my own kingdom. Once I took a town I appointed my husband as minister and I found out later he is no longer in the realm. So then, how do I appoint a new minister when the one I originally chosen is no longer in the game? Submitted August 17, 2019 at 09:15AM by MatthewofHouseGray https://ift.tt/33JMfvE

Is there no other mod like The Last Days of the Third Age?

I inevitably lose interest in Warband shortly after getting my first city. It's just... I've made it. I'm set, and there's nothing left to do except basically the same thing over and over again. That's why I enjoy the Third Age mod so much. For those who don't know it's set in Middle Earth during the War of the Ring, with loads and loads of factions, but all divided into Good and Evil. So there is no diplomacy, city-taking or political shenanigans. You're just either fighting to take down Sauron and Saruman, or conquer in their name, and there's never, say, a fight between Lothlorien and Gondor. I like having an actual, official goal. Is there really no other mod that does this? Submitted August 17, 2019 at 06:32AM by Eli_Freysson https://ift.tt/2Hc5rZ9

Prophesy of Pendor companion choice?

I just start this mod and shit it’s hard. I really need a companion who has good path-finding and spotting skill because those awfully strong bandit just jump out of the dark and chase me down real quick.

Prophesy of Pendor could do with some Ships

One of the things I love about PoP is the vast expanses of Pendor itself, the only problem is that it takes quite some time to get to where you want to be, especially if you have a sizable army at your command. My suggestion is something very similar to what you'll find in the Game of Thrones mod, A World of Ice and Fire. In that mod you can speak to the guildmasters in any port cities and ask them to transport you and your troops to another port city (for a fee of course). This way you'll get there quicker, and don't have to worry about any random attacks along the way, or have to dodge Jatu and Snake Cult armies. Being able to sail from Avendor or Marleons to Ravenstern or Rane would probably cut at least a day off of your journey, or sailing from Nal Tar or Ishkoman to Cez would also be more conveniant and save some time. Heck, you could even add something on that little island near Cez if water travel is introduced. What do you think about the addition of ships to Po...

Harvesting Season: A Poem

A young bright-eyed squire rose up the hill No more working the dyes; no more ink, and quill He would be the greatest warrior for the realm to hate Shields will splinter and bones will break All his enemies will meet their fates’ But little did he know that destiny is cruel, For his forefathers before had suffered too, Not until the Lord of the Banner shall wreak Havoc; The harvest of the season will never bloom.

Worth getting Warband just for the mods?

Not a huge fan of the nordic setting unfortunately. However, it seems that there is a mod called Gekokujo, which is set in ancient japan, a setting i absolutely love. Is it worth getting the game just for this mod and probably that one wild west mod i saw earlier too? Submitted August 15, 2019 at 07:52AM by Jedihan1 https://ift.tt/2YQU9V1

Warband Assets used Illegally in Kenshi Mod

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1660651528&searchtext=gekokujo ​ This mod has textures taken directly from Warband. Also assets from Gekokujo mod are in there, and they are being passed around to other Kenshi modders. I don't think this makes since considering how the owner of Gekokujo wants everyone to get permission from him directly. Trying to spread word of this going on so that people who own these assets can make claims to get it taken down. The developer of Kenshi said he wont take this seriously otherwise.

Why is this happening?

I’m like 1000+ days into a game and there is only my kingdom and the Sarranids with any territory at all, but the game still thinks that the Nords haven’t been defeated so King Ragnar with his mighty kingdom (no vassals and no fiefs) is constantly raiding my villages Submitted August 15, 2019 at 07:45AM by Edwardo235 https://ift.tt/2z250vU

When does being a horse archer get any good?

I have 6 power draw, 4 horse archery, little under 200 archery. It just seems pointless. Takes like 3 shots to kill even a guy with average armor unless you get a head shot. Plus it's just tedious. I could do three times the damage with like 4 power strike and a bardiche. If you need something like 10 power draw to be effective, then that's kinda retarded.

How best to get my liege to award a town fief to me in Warband Diplomacy mod?

So when I joined Sanjar Khan he gave me the Tulbuk village. I exchanged it with another Lord for Bulugur village (which is better because fewer bandits pass by). Later on I captured Veluca and requested that I receive it, he granted it to me. But I knew I could never hold it (it being so far away from our territory and close to both Swadia and Rhodoks). So I exchanged it for Tulbuk Castle with another Lord (I wanted Distar Castle but the Lord in charge of that wouldn't give it to me because we had poor relations). I then got my relations up with the Lord who owned Distar, but when I try exchange Tulbuk Castle for Distar Castle he just says 'I have no intention of giving up Distar Castle'. Why is that? Is there no way I can acquire it from him and get rid of Tulbuk Castle? Anyway, the Khergit Khanate was doing very poorly in wars (because before I did all of the aforementioned I was a merc for the Sarranids and I was helping to fight the Khergits). The only town the Kher...

Does repeatedly attacking caravans have any effect on their faction's economy?

Just playing vanilla Warband. My squad is really small (usually 20-30 units to take advantage of the map speed and cheap maintenance) and I'm participating in a war albeit very distanced from a lot of the actual fighting. Raiding villages leaves me open to roaming armies so I figured my best bet is pillaging caravans. I've taken out about four or five now and wanted to know if I can actually make any significant impact on their financial status or army stability by depriving them of goods?

How do i sabotage my own faction?

Ive been playing pendor mod for the whole week now and after a few restarts ive started to get the hang of the mod. I became friends with the noldor, traded all my fiefs for castles near them. I have 3 castles and 1 village. My party is still only 150 so im not ready to create my own kingdom yet but im at the point where im planning for it. I think over the next 2-3 castles i take next the king might not give it to me and id have to fight for my honor and all that fun. ​ However, my current faction which is sarleon is doing a little too well. Because of my aggressiveness sarleon has taken atleast 2 cities from each other faction and we are the biggest on the map. Are there ways to hinder my own factions progress? They already seem unstoppable. Before i declare my independence i would like to sabotage them a little bit. Any tips? Submitted August 13, 2019 at 09:02PM by xellosmoon https://ift.tt/2YZPWgV

How can I defend four sieges at once? (PoP)

I broke free of Ravenstern, and every kingdom except for DShar eventually declared. Now the Empire is sieging Marleons, the Fierdsviain Hrolfson Castle, the Sarleons Salvador Castle, and Raverstern is sieging Valonbray. I decided to defend Marleons but, the Empire has just been sitting on the siege for a week without attacking. How can I get out of this situation without losing everything? I can handle one siege at a time, but not four. Submitted August 13, 2019 at 06:15PM by jshmoyo https://ift.tt/2H64aTz

Let's Help Each Other Out: What mechanics exist in the game that took forever to learn about?

Does the firearm system in paradigm worlds come from an OSP or is it unique to the mod?

The mod has very good gunplay but I don't like that whole mishmash of factions. The red war guns are worse, and parabellum is not being updated and crashes constantly. I am wondering if there is a mod that implements the same guns or a gun system as well as paradigm but without the rest of paradigm?
