If you've never heard of mount and blade it is a game where you build and manage a kingdom while fighting for control of the rest of the world. I would compare it to the total war series only instead of controlling your troops from a top down view you issue commands, and fight allong side them

their archers are good but archers in native are just inferior to crossbowmen
a lot of their troops are much cheaper though which makes it easier to field loads of em, they're quantitiy>quality while being able to fill a lot of different roles
also their infantry primarily use bardiches which can be useful but also fuck em over

Try vanilla to get a feel for the game and how it plays.
If after a while you get sick of Calradia try Gekokujo (Sengoku Japan), 1257 AD (Medieval Europe) and maybe Brytenwalda (7th century Britain).
If not then try Diplomacy, Floris & Silverstag, the latter 2 being kitchen sinks, the 3rd being a kitchen sink in alpha.

I don't mind making it a bit more challenging (God knows once you could reliably train and maintain Swadian Knights for warfare, Nord Huscarls, and Rhodok Sharpshooters for siege and defense the game was basically over), but Pendor just goes overboard IMO.

what kind of things are you doing in the first hour or two? I find the best part of warband (in vanilla anyway) is about 6 hours in, once you've established a band robust enough to join in lords' battles, and a character strong and wealthy enough to buy good equipment and win tournaments with ease

Rhodoks because they're incredibly effective at sieges and holding lethal formations. Also, they look good.

I'm boring and I'm gonna say Floris with native troop trees. Mostly because I'm not keen on learning overly complex troop trees most mods offer and Floris packs enough improvements to the vanilla game, which is all I'm looking for in a Warband mod.

You personally meet up with the bandit leader and retreat to your respective troops when you commence battle.

wrecking bandits with small-to-medium groups of cavalry is immensely satisfying (and effective)
it pays well too, especially if you can get the "destroy bandit camp" quests
it's almost not worth building a bigger army, just have 30 or so elite troops and make fat stacks of cash from tournaments, quests, and selling enough bandit gear to equip an army

Kiss the ass of the king until he let's you recruit in his lands. Grind oddjobs for everyone.
Raid fucking everything.

Eventually when you have your shit together you can pack your shit up and go sail somewhere that you haven't pillaged yet

yeah, no. All you niggers did in any M&B game was vassalage for some crowned faggot, getting a town and a castle for yourselves and turning the game off whenever you try to go independent and getting invaded by Lord motherfucker and his personal army of 15000 men. Conquering the empire in those games is a fucking chore.

I haven't had the time to download and play many of the others recently (though I did try PoP and AD1257 way back when) and I like the general aesthetic even if some of the modeling is really low quality.

Soon as I move and fix my computer I'll probably branch out- again, if I have time.

He is. She wasn't the developer, that's SexOnDragon, but she was one of the premier contributors, and like most old forum denizens, a bit of a cunt. Because that's what forums do.

And yes, she got cancer and died. She's also the dreadful female voice in the mod, IIRC.

I haven't played Warband in a few years, but I probably clocked over a thousand hours on it. It's an amazing game, and I feel like I'll be waiting for a sequel forever.

That being said, I enjoyed Vaegers quite a bit.

I always thought it would be cool if there was a wild west gunslinger mod.

It should be the final release of AD1257

One thing I hated about Warband, is that whenever I hosted a coup or something and become a leader of my own nation, it would be come very difficult to keep my lords happy with land allocation. If I had 10 lords, giving land to one of them would piss off the other 9. I know you can ask for opinions from everyone, and it helps a bit, but I never figured out how to not get my shit stolen by greedy backstabbers.

Are there any other LOTR mods besides Last Days? That one seems kind of weird to me with the requisition points instead of money.

What are some mods Warband SHOULD have in your opinion, but don't?

How the hell is there no Arthurian mod?
>>
>>332359568
should definitely have diplomacy, should have battle watching after death
>>
>>332359568
Being able to keep watching after death in a battle so you don't have to auto resolve fights

The mercenary recruitment system that 1257AD has
>>
best part about warband is native auto resolve for sure
>>
>>332359131
This is one of the things I'm dumbfounded as to why it never was expanded in Diplomacy, at least. You'd think somebody would've thought that hey, how about having the seneschal, or any other character explain this shit? Or how about having the option to bribe the lords so they don't get unhappy??

Basically what you want to do is (again, something the game doesn't tell you) enable cheat mode so you know the personalities of each lord. Then look at their lineage. Ideally, the lords of your kingdom should be whole families most of the members of which are either martial/good natured or generous (?? it isn't that but I can't remember what the personality is called).

Having them be of those personalities insures they won't defect if unhappy or start shit with other lords (and get less penalties to when you select a lord they have no relation with as opposed to if they were bad-tempered or the other negative personality), while on the other hand, having them be of the same family means that they won't be unhappy if you award the castle to someone in their family (in fact, they even increase their relations with you).

So essentially:
>Activate cheat mode
>Activate debug
>Meet every single fucking lord in the realm and jot down their personality
>Find out which of the bigger families have the most of the best personalities
>Kiss their ass until they like you
>Ask them to join
>They don't
>Murder their kingdom
>They join someone else
>Consider uninstalling

Like I said, it's borderline retarded.
>>
>>332359520
Should be why you should avoid -any- forums tbqh. Sooner or later it always devolves to retardation and ego-mania. Much better like this where you expect retardation and sometimes come away pleasantly surprised.
>>
>>332360638
I see, seems to be much more in depth than I originally thought. Still though, very in depth but doesn't give you any information to actually understand or manipulate what goes on. Thanks for the explanation though, I never considered keeping families together, even though that makes sense. Seems I've underestimated the mechanics.

>everyone tells me the mods are the best part about M&B

HOW MUCH LONGER WILL THIS SHIT GO ON? These stupid fucking RHODOKS just sit in their castles all day and Harlaus keeps making peace treaties right before I can fuck up the Sand Niggers. Khergshitters and Vaegirs are wiped out and the Nords aren't much of a problem anymore but I can't do shit to the Rhodoks since they're turtling in their last city and last 4 castles and the Sarranids have the other half of the map.
This shit is going to go another 50 hours isn't it?

>>332361353
It'll go even longer

>>332361927
Rhodoks are a shit, but you're really just fighting Harlaus the Feastmeister.
>>
>>332361025
Yeah, it's not a well developed system and the info the game provides is, well, none basically. Unfortunately using mods and making small mods yourself kinda makes you aware of this by default so you don't realize how obfuscated and unintuitive any of this info is in the game.

Btw, the personalities you want are Good Natured and Upstanding. Martial aren't either nice or bad but make good Marshalls. Bad tempered and Pitiless are pretty aggressive during wartime but too much of a pain to put up with tbqh.
>>
>>332361927
Yes

When they have a single castle left they'll all sit in it and you'll have a fortress with over 1000 people

And if they have any allies that you don't want to attack you won't be able to starve them out which is never a useful strategy anyway

You could go to war with everyone they're allied with, raid the nearby village, and then starve them out by killing any peasants that are trying to get to them

But that will take around 30 days and I've never actually tried it

Well you could also just raid the castle with a handful of huscarls and hope. You'll be there a while though.

The alternative is climbing up the mountain of your soldier's corpses until your reach the top of the castle's walls. In the rain. The rain of crossbow bolts. And blood.

Man, I might be alone in this but the sequel needs to be fucking shorter. Or have a better/more worthwhile endgame to it. Or enable strict penalties to longevity so as to balance the fact that a good/lucky playthrough that spans, say, a decade is as rewarding or more than a bad/unlucky one that spans 40 game years.

That or have fucking descendants like Sword of the Samurai did.
