I have a nice wife, a nice fief too, a castle on a hill with a magnificent view. I have fertile lands, and villages that thrive, hundreds of troops who somehow stay alive. My coffers are heavy, my warband is fed, my enemies see my banner and occasionally drop dead. I have horses and armor, silver and grain, a hall full of nobles complaining again. By every measure, I’ve won at this game. I’ve conquered, grown wealthy, and built up my name. Yet I stand on my battlements when the campaigning is done, watching the mountains fade with the sun. My wife is beside me. My kingdom is strong. My vaults overflow. But something feels wrong. I’ve everything a lord could possibly acquire… Maybe what’s missing another fief to desire. submitted by /u/t-o-m-u-s-a [link] [comments]
So I’ve played mount and blade Warband for a thousand hours, and Viking Conquest has always been really interesting to me. It has great mechanics and a new balancing of troops to prioritise melee combat over just the same cav armies as in most modifications for M&B.
However the thing that I can’t stand, that ruins any playthrough I attempt, is the siege mechanics. Now I understand that perhaps people like more brutal and realistic sieges, but it always…always seems unfair, that somehow when placing the manlets my best men get RNGed to death with no player input whatsoever. (In the Game of Thrones Viking conquest mod I’ve once had wildings killed fifteen unsulied during the Manlet placement)
The late game of Viking conquest is unbearable for me, the character opinion decrease of thirty whenever you try to siege is crazy as well, but I understand if that’s just something you like.
The point of this post is for a while I’ve been trying to find a way to gut somewhat the issues I have with VC’s sieges. Something more akin to vanilla would be my preferred way. There’s no in game option that I know of to remove these VC siege mechanics. I’d try to edit the game’s files if anyone happens to know how.
Even if no one knows, I’d also really appreciate any Input in general.
