RBM includes a gigantic stealth nerf to Fian Champions

RBM introduces cutting arrows in addition to the piercing ones. Most troop trees go from cutting arrows at the low tiers and upgrade to bodkin (pierce) arrows later on. Pierce damage has always been superior to cut and that's why cut damage usually has a higher base damage score. Fians (including champs) have the opposite progression. They have P damage from tier 2 to 4 but at tier 5 they trade them in for barbed arrows. While the base damage goes up from 110 to 135, cut damage is so much worse against armored troops it serves as a huge nerf. I tested in custom battles and their performance is disappointing. Dismounted Druzhinnik Champions solidly beat Fian Champions. Dismounted Khan's Guards absolutely annihilated the fian champions. Imperial t5 archers beat regular fians in a close fight. Asurai Master archers absolutely stomped the regular fians. The tide however turns if you use t4 archers. Battanian Heros won vs Asarai Experienced archers and imperial veteran archers. ...

Is Bannerlord worth returning to?

I stopped playing Bannerlord around a year or so ago. There were a few bugs or aspects of the game that personally annoyed me, and I was wondering if these things were remedied yet:

  • Sturgians seemed underpowered, especially against the Vlandians that they start the game at war with.

  • The only steady income was from Tournaments; Workshops were unprofitable and unreliable, Caravans were incredibly expensive.

  • Banners were off-center, and there were very few colors to choose from.

  • There would be an annoying pop-up whenever you had mods installed… which given that this is a Mount and Blade game, we’ll probably always have mods.

  • Apparently selling Javelins breaks the economy, but I wouldn’t know, because leveling Smithing took forever due to the Stamina system.

  • For some reason my PC would be loud and be warmer than usual when running Bannerlord. It’s not a low-tier rig, either; this never would happen with other games. Not even MMOs.

Are any of these things fixed? Is there any other frustrating or game-breaking thing I don’t know about?

Back when Bannerlord was announced, I vaguely remember that, in the announcement thread, people were discussing the choice of the title "Bannerlord." Does anyone else remember that? It was a useless topic to discuss, but I kept coming back because I was so hyped about the game and was hoping for more information about it.

Worth a post.

Dickplomacy Reloaded!

Hello everyone! :D I just made a mod, it's called Dickplomacy Reloaded. Basically it adds the functionality that you would find in normal mods, such as Dynamic Troop Trees, Custom Troop Trees, Freelancer, Tournament Play Enhancements, Single Screen Character Creation, and Rubiks World Map into Dickplomacy. ^-^ It also doesn't require WSE, but you still need the older (exe) version of Warband that comes with Dickplomacy. (Though I haven't tested it with the newest version of Warband so it might work.) Also, if you do decide to download it, please ignore (DO NOT USE) the "content options" folder, it is legacy, and the mod is compiled from source with all features. (This mod includes source btw) https://www.nexusmods.com/mbwarband/mods/6243/?tab=description Also, I am hoping to support it in the future, i.e through content updates and bug fixes. I hope everyone likes it!! :D Submitted August 11, 2018 at 09:48PM by amazing_lily https://ift.tt/2KMd9rK
