Companions build

Hi, firstly I want to ask if u guys having this problem I enjoy the hunting bandit and doing quests in the early stage (2-3 first years) so after a while of playing, towns and villagers rarely pop out any quest for me (currently 1.4.5) Now to my main wonder, how do you guys build captain companions, I have a mod which let me using companions to train in arena with full xp gain so no problem of training their combat skills. And how do you guys build your party leader companions. Thank you for you guys advices submitted by /u/Rj_Sera [link] [comments]

Beta Key Contest and Giveaway | 100k Members Celebration

Congratulations to everyone at /r/mountandblade for getting our community to 100,000 members! History & Highlights This sub was created 10 years ago in June 2009 in a strange world where people waited for Warband instead of Bannerlord. Growth on the sub began slowly, but in mid 2016, the sub realized that memes could be used as a long-term source of fuel. With them, the community powered through several years of unsure waiting until the fateful moment when BannerlordWhen became BannerlordThen. And on 15 Sep 2019, we reached the 100k mark. Being fans of such a long-running series can be a strange thing: so many aspects of our lives can change -- graduating schools, beginning new occupations, starting families, and pursuing our dreams -- and through it all there's a quirky Turkish game series to keep us entertained. Many of us have spent thousands of hours exploring new mods, grinding out map control, and getting involved with multiplayer communities and servers. Here'...

Any noobs out there need help in combat?

I'm a vet of 4 yrs and 1500+ hours and since bannerlord's attacking will be much the same, I figure I have some useful skills to pass onto the next generation of butterlords. I wanna do my part for the community and welcome some fresh faced fighters. I'll also cover mercenary work, mods and mod recommendations, becoming a vassal, preparing your defection and building a strong kingdom. Drop a comment below if any are interested Submitted September 29, 2019 at 12:08PM by Waterprophet47 https://ift.tt/2mPsvG7

Prison Break : Rathbarth Ragnarsson

So I'm taking a nice story mode in Viking Conquest. I just landed in Englaland after the viking fleet was attacked by Sven Bullneck, and I am supposed to find Rathbarth Ragnarsson, Jarl of Northymbre. After some research, I finally found him in prison in a fortress of Mierce. However, when I tried to take him out of prison, the first thing he does is attacking me (I guess he has some negative opinions of me even if I never met him before :D) which makes the evasion quite difficult. Is there any way to take him out ? Can he be released If I simply wait ? Or is there any cheat that I can use to change his disposition to me ?

Not a Khergit, but...

Horses are pretty much anime girls. Like let's be honest. They come in different shapes and sizes, some of them are brave and tough, others are meek and timid, but deep down they all have a soft and gentle interior. You can spook an anime girl, you can spook a horse. You can ride an anime girl, you can ride a horse. Horses recognize you as a master, and so do anime girls. Horses want to prove their worth to the protagonist, and so do anime girls. I really don't think there's anything wrong with fucking a horse, and we should dispel these hateful and hurtful myths that it's 'unacceptable' in polite society.

Once more, once again! - Calradic Campaign #45

This will not stand! The chamber filled with indignation This so-called King has abandoned his responsibilities to this house and confounded the peers of this realm! Dams sabotaged, our lands flooded, crops and peasants drowned! What will we do when winter comes, or a Vaegir siege army - Another stood from across the chamber; Veluca will not see hide nor hair of the Vaegirs. The flooding has turned the roads south from Ergellon and Grunwalder into a marsh, and the woods around the city have been logged. The loss of those lands, though regrettable, will prevent any siege equipment from reaching the walls of the city... The response lowered the uproar to a discontented murmur. Shame, and eternal shame! We bring ruin to our own lands rather than bring the war to the Vaegirs. When will this reprobate of a King march on Grunwalder? The heavy doors of the chamber gave way to a breathless messenger - The King calls upon the Senate - he swears before the gods that the Rhodok heartland...

Small lore inconsistency that keep bothering me...

From talking to Borcha and Baheshtur we learn that the Khergits originally came from the eastern steppes and took over Vaegir towns, which they then settled. This is all fine and well, but then, why are Khergit towns, castles, and villages using standalone map icons and scenes, whereas the Vaegir ones use the same ones as the Swadians and Rhodoks? Even on the best of days, east-European towns and casltes didn't\ don't look like west-European towns and castles, and given the fact that the Swadians+Rhodoks have a different ancestry from the Vaegirs, their towns should be different too. In fact, if we agree that Vaegirs are based on Kievan Rus, or the Grand Duchy of Moscow, or any of the east-Slavic duchies (or even Moldavia and Wallachia), they should actually have wood-based towns and castles alongside stone-based ones, especially in the easternmost territories. After all, TW did go through with making standalone scenes for Nordic, Khergit, and Sarranid settlements, why not go ...

Can I tell you a tale, traveller?

So, I’ve hit 4500 days in Native. I haven’t played any other mod. Spent hours on this one game. Over 120 online hours (way more than that offline). It was the first character I’d ever started. I finally made my own kingdom, when I had about 40 lords with 100 love for me. Didn’t take me too long to recruit and dominate. I was the king Of all Calradia. I indicted all the lords of treason who weren’t 100% in favour of me and split the rest of the fiefs, castles and towns betwixt is all. Then I thought, what the hey. I inducted them all for treason, and now I was the lord of all Calradia! I was mine! I went around to every village and built a mill. Then I went around to every village and built a school. I was now getting between 15000 and 18000 per pay schedule. I’ve now got 100000+ denars. But traveller, it was all for nought. The battle was exhilarating, the travelling was insightful, the reading was good. But in the end, was it worth it? My only friends are my long-time, loyal ...

Does anyone else play at 100+% difficulty with realistic saving?

The high difficulty yields a lot more satisfaction, but it's also very frustrating. I'm level 35 with (almost) the best armor but I can still die in 1 hit from a stray arrow from a tier 3 archer. Usually in video games your character is a "hero" type of figure, but on normal damage difficulty, you're basically just another unit. It's disheartening how weak my character is compared to my high tier units. I'll go into a 500+ battle and take a stray arrow, bolt, axe, or lance hit within the first minute, then I'll have to alt-tab and browse the web while waiting 15 minutes for the battle to finish. If I don't fall within the first minute, my 60-armor horse will be ruined by projectiles within 3 minutes, then I'll fall off while desperately fending off 4-8 low tier infantrymen who will surround & overwhelm me. But thankfully with mods, I can wait out the battle instead of instantly retreating/losing when my character is KO. My most effective ...

How the world may end

I believe that as bannerlord gets closer the world will reject it as it goes against the natural order for it to be released. Look at hurricane Dorian, the earthquake in fiji, volcanoes erupting in papa new Guinea the end times are here and we can only hope bannerlord releases before we're wiped off the face of the planet Submitted September 27, 2019 at 02:09AM by Epickiller11 https://ift.tt/2nHoi7r

I love the AWOIAF mod but the siege attrition sucks!!!!

While this mod is fantastic and full of awesome features, the siege mechanics are just painful. Painful as fuck!. I'd literally grind and build an army with mid to top tier units and then lose half of that army to siege attrition. And the worst part is the enemy loses waaaay less men than you. What's the excuse for that?? It's just weird cos if the enemy sallies out to engage you, they no longer have their defensive position. Y'all are fighting on equal terms. The whole siege thing is game-breaking in my opinion. Siege attrition is a cool idea, but the implementation is just...bad. Still an awesome mod and I love the hell out of it.

THE STATE OF BANNERLORD MULTIPLAYER AS OF NOW, ACCORDING TO MY OPINION

So I’ve been playing the multiplayer beta for around 8 hours now and I’d like to share my thoughts and concerns. Disclaimer: I am of course only reflecting on the multiplayer experience. As of now there I think there are many problems with the multiplayer. But first I will talk about some positive changes. The graphics : The graphics look great. I don’t agree with some design choices but overall the game looks very good and it is obviously a huge step up from Warband. I especially love the heavy cavalry and the more eastern looking factions like Khuzait and the Empire. Animations : I think the animations have improved greatly and the movement looks less goofy than it did in the previous games. Captain mode : Although it needs some heavy balancing, I enjoy the new captain mode. I’m actually starting to like thecompass in the top of the screen and I use it a lot to find flags or teammates. Performance: This might be a controversial one, as the game does not seem to run well on some ...

Question about claimant

So i heard that when a faction is destroyed, their claimant would be disappear. But what happen if it would be opposite? lets say for example, i join swadia and defeated all other factions, Then i want it to help lady isolla and start some kind of a civil war. but can i still find her when swadia captured all of the castle and towns? or should i keep one town for an enemy faction so i could still find her?

The Menace of the Khan

Hey you may remember me from such tedious monologues as "a new level of harlaus incompetence". I'm writing about my pendor run as requested by like literally one guy, so hopefully he at least enjoys this. So I install this shiny new mod and start a file, takes me a few tries before my start doesn't go to total shit but I eventually settle on starting in ravenstern. I recruit the peasants and train them into archers because I read that they're good. Kill mystmountains, get money, you know the drill. I'm aspiring to be a raven stern vassal at this point and my renown is approaching the 150 mark so not long to go. Everything changes, however, when I see notorious dickhole lord alexis with a nice juicy prisoner stack getting his ass walloped by duke aeflwine of sarleon. Me with my like 20 guys scoot on in there on the sarleon side and I take that fat prisoner stack and get some sarleon men at arms, longbow men and even a couple of larian sentinels. Unfortunate...

Just got into the beta, had about 2h done here are my initial thoughts

The stick is icky The vibe is so nice My initial thoughts are quite positive, the horseback riding is great and comfortable, the graphics are pleasant to look at, the main menu is really nice too with good amount of information on the screen. I feel that the combat is a little bit off, especially with the spears as their timing is awkward and the hitbox is too small. I understand that the spear on horseback cannot be overpowered, but right now having combat against another horseman is just uncomfortable. I would say the hitbox for damage dealing should be much bigger for smaller amounts of damage and a sweet spot for the real-deal, right now it seems that there is a certain moment within the animation that has damage-dealing potential and it is too short and too small. Making that change could improve cav>cav combat, cav>spear inf combat, spear inf>cav and spear inf>spear inf combat DRASTICALLY. Furthermore, to compensate for the buffing of spears I think shields shoul...

PoP - feedback on late game, thoughts on balancing Custom Knighthood Orders

Firstly, let me say PoP is one of the most incredible gaming experiences I've ever had, and everyone involved in its development and support should be very, very proud of themselves! Let me also express what I think everyone is thinking, which is that Custom Knighthood Orders are game-breakingly powerful in the late game. The conventional wisdom would say the right response is to nerf them. To that I say... NO! I think CKOs and their ludicrous level of power is a beautiful, unique thing, and it should be retained more or less as-is. They are balanced in the sense that it takes an equally ludicrous amount of time, effort, money, strategy and prestige to get them there. But they are unbalanced in two other ways: Their costs (upkeep and prestige multipliers) do not scale with their power The AI has no response to them whatsoever I will address these below: Costs I would recommend updating the unit's level based on its calculated auto-resolve values, whenever these are...

Pendor: Negative honour isn't worth it

In native you can rob villages for no honor loss, which makes it a very good way to make money. In pendor tho it takes alot of your honor away and not just that, but retreating from a siege does that too for whatever nonsense reason. The only useful thing about being a bad guy in Pendor is to unlock Eventide troops, which are not good in my opinion... Any ideas on what you guys would do to make being dishonorable in Pendor an actually rewarding experience in its own way? Submitted September 19, 2019 at 05:53AM by duven_blade https://ift.tt/30wpHeI

A new level of Harlaus incompetence.

So I'm trying to get all steam achievements in mount and blade (only sassy and heartbreaker to go now yay!) this is the story of my most recent achievement: manifest destiny. So I start a new file on diplomacy, recruit Swadian peasants, crack bandit heads, get cash and swadian Knights, open a few enterprises, sign up as a vassal with Harlaus and get granted some shitty burned out village, all going smoothly. At this point we're at war with the Nords, and I actually don't have to do much, I help out in a few skirmishes but the marshalled force manages to take sargoth and wercheg on their own. This, however, is where it all starts to go to shit. Harlaus grants a bunch of the conquered fiefs to himself (as is to be expected) but also overrules his lords votes to grant like 3 fiefs to none other than count Haringoth. He also makes haringoth fucking marshal, and surprise surprise no one will follow him because he's such an unpopular asshole. All our good lords like grai...

[PoP] Are Nolder troops hardcoded to not be affected from surgery skill?

Right to Rule (help)

Okay so I’m playing native version, I served Nords but then renounced allegiance. Took Chalbek, Hrus and Jelbegi castles and then Tihr. I have a small kingdom but I’m still at war with the Nords. I can beat them easily but the issue I have is that my huscarls have terrible morale. I have them garrisoned so they aren’t ditching me but I need them to win the war but I can’t fight the war with them because their morale just drops. Is there a way for me to make peace with Ragnar despite having 0 right to rule. I’m trying to court lady’s so that I can gain legitimacy but I’m not very good at it lol. I’ve tried offering peace after beating their entire army but apparently they don’t trust me. I have no clue how to improve relations with the king whilst he’s my enemy either. Pls help.

Question about rebuilding my army after a tough fight...

I have a castle with around 40 recruits stationed there along with the original garrison. Is it a viable strategy to go there (and even bring fresh recruits to refill the hopper) and just hang out for a week to allow my training skill to boost these raw recruits to mid-tier soldiers? Does my training skill apply to troops in the garrison while I'm staying in my castle? I ask because often when I try to rebuild by going off hunting sea raiders I end up being interrupted by a siege back at my castle needing to be lifted (you know, because the AI is hellbent on attacking my castle above all else).

Viking Conquest - Mod Night

Poor Torvald was far to young to be marching off to raid and pillage. Or so his mother would tell him. It seemed that whatever he did, he would only be outdone by greater men. In fact that only thing that he even remotely exceled at was his own coined apple-berry pie. A secret he had to keep from his viking peers. But today would be the day he would prove himself. In the early hours of the morning he was ready and waiting at the dock. None could believe the change in his character. The men laughed at his vigor saying that the "momma's boy was now off to war". Yet he was adamant in his attempt to prove them wrong. He volunteered for every task in preperation for the voyage. He listened intently to the older vikings making sure to learn all that he could. He did not allow himself to be afraid and made sure to keep working thoughout the voyage. Now land lay before them. He could see the silhouette of a village in the distance. This was his time.

Ran into king harlaus after lady isolla is the new swadian ruler.

Found him outside Praven just waiting there, not sieging it or anything just camping outside it like a broken man. Talking to him had alot of red error text show up but I could still convince him to pledge himself to lady isolla of suno, and he went from king to count harlaus like that. Not sure if this is interesting to anyone or not but definitely strange to me. Interesting finds about this occurrence: Before becoming a vassal he was under the faction commoners. When all vassals agree to give him a castle, lady isolla will always over rule them and give it to someone else When asked who should receive a fief he will say "I support 89 denars per night" When you tell lady isolla you support count harlaus for a fief she will call him a varlot When you ask him about how he feels about Kings and lords and what not he responds with "{liege} did you wish to speak of anything else?" When asked how he feels about lady isolla he basically says he's treated like ...

My favorite moment thus far in this game

I've been playing warband off and on since this past spring and for the first time I'm founding my own kingdom in my current playthrough instead of helping an existing kingdom conquer the nation. I rebelled against the rhodoks after Graveth denied me two fiefs in a row that I had conquered. At that point, the rhodoks were easily the most powerful faction and they proceeded to take two of my cities with overwhelming numbers, leaving me with Narra and Rindyar castle. Shortly after, they offered me a treaty which I eagerly accepted as I was now also at war with the Swadians and khergs. Siege after siege I beat them back with a few weak lords my own 90 elite troops and the garrison I had. I was nearly shattered when the sarranids declared war as well. I tried to sue for peace but I couldn't approach Sanjar Khan without his whole army coming down on me and butterscum Harlaus told me peace "wasn't in his interest". Finally, I lucked out and managed to hail the Kh...

Agility Does Not Impact Attack Speed

All the information out there, including on the Wiki, is incorrect. Agility does not impact attack speed. The only thing that does--other than the speed of the weapon itself of course--is weapon proficiency. ​ You can test this very easily by exporting and editing a test character. ​ Leaving 1h proficiency at 80, I set the character to 100 agility. Running speed was very noticeably increased. There was no increase in attack speed. ​ Not trusting my eyes and accounting for the fact that agility might yet increase attack speed, just by a very small amount, I went ahead and set the character to 1000 agility. Running speed continues to increase even up to 1000 agility, as the character was now comically zooming around like The Flash. However, attack speed was still unchanged. ​ I then set the character to 0 agility and 699 one hand weapon proficiency. He then moved around like a turtle, but his attack speed was ridiculously fast. ​ Confirmed, agility does not add attack speed di...
