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. ...

I just won a battle against a garrison force of 600 and 400ish militia, with just my 207 man party, it was painful. Advice to make it less would be appreciated.

I am not part of a Kingdom, the enemy is auto Sallying out at me, and I’m fighting Rhegea she is in her last city.

My army make up was.

40 archers - Fians, Fian Champions, and Battanian Heroes.

60 Infantry - Heroic line breakers, Heavy Axeman, and Heavy Spearman.

104 Calvary - Mostly Imperial equites with a few exceptions.

2 heavily armored companions, one who acts as the commander of my archers and the other my hero troop for Calvary.

I started off my waging 2 quick charge and retreat battles to destroy any enemy range and Calvary forces. In total I kept my losses between those battles down to 15ish Calvary.

In the next fight I set my archers to scatter, engage. My infantry to shield wall, engage.

Then I told my Calvary to follow me, I got within throwing axe range before ordering them to charge. Once we came out the other side I had them follow me again, rinse and repeat. All this while they are getting attacked by my other force.

Bonus question what do the hero troops even do?

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.

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
