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]
I wanted to do an Ironman run of native Mount and Blade Warband as a sort of goodbye to this awesome game before Bannerlord. But... it seems like with every step I take forward, I take two steps back, and it’s killing me. All the flaws in this game are culminating into a splinter of frustration that keeps bothering me.
Ok, let me review. I recently fought and was captured by enemy forces. After eventually getting loose, I tried to go village-to-village, recruiting.
That’s when I hit a huge problem. Bandits. Not just are there like fucking 80 of them on screen at all times (seriously, Calradia has Skyrim’s bandit-to-villager ratio), and they are ALL SO FUCKING FAST. Even if I can outspeed the bigger groups, the smaller ones catch up to me, and apparently these DISORGANIZED BANDS OF LOOTERS are all on the same side (this is not how crime works in real life!).
Oh, “run away”, you might say? Well, there’s a different problem. Fucking morale. Every time you run away, all your troops develop severe Depression. Really? Lose 20 fucking morale because 1 unlucky sucker got left behind? Would you rather we all die and become slaves?
And then you have sanctimonious companions like Rolf who hate you for running, even though there really isn’t any better solution.
And then I LOSE SHIT by getting captured, while other lords don’t seem to lose anything. Stupid double standards.
And then there’s the factions. Don’t even get me started. It’s a lose-lose situation- either I get actually good fiefs that are taken from me the next minute by a siege party of fucking 400 people, or I get offered shitty village fiefs. Really, I just got given a castle, which was then taken before I even had the chance to raise enough troops to reliably defend it!
I want to revolt, but then I get fucked by my old faction. There’s no two ways about it- even with a King’s party size increase, I can’t just take and defend important points by myself.
I just... I can’t take it. I want to play Warband. I want to beat it. But this is all. Such. BULLSHIT. I haven’t been this devoid of hope and frustrated in a long while.
