Why are twohanded axes the kings of weapons?
>>123490704
In my experience a shield/hammer will fuck it up. You tank one hit, hug them, and then beat their shit in with overhead strikes from a hammer or some shit. 2hand polearms are useless 1v1 against a shield/one hand combo, only good with support so you can run into say, the chokepoint in a castle, and swing away. I have one in my inventory for that exact purpose.
>>123490941
Stabbing weapons are shit in general, even worse in 1257. Got a lance? Nope its broken on the first charge regardless if it hit the rider.
This is an old webm that I forgot to post a few days back.
I thought it was fucking hilarious. I'm just riding around minding my own business when suddenly I see Harlaus alone, running his ass off from the entire Vaegir army. I would later destroy this same army and shortly thereafter become my own king.
Still, this moment right here, comedy gold.

>>123494312
A man after my own heart.
>>123494846
Granted Frogmouths look cool but I don't like the massive gap which is the perfect size for someone to ram a blade through when you've been unhorsed.
The posse grows.
Being King and Marshal has it's advantages. This is only about half, matheld/alayen/nizar are all hovering around 100 men and they're elsewhere.
Man it's fun being king. Any tips on how to make their armies better? I've started giving some of them recruits, but I would like to know systematically how to make these lords more formidable. Right now most of the lords are endgame level at like 150-500 guys. My lords rarely fight unless I'm leading them, hopefully they'll grow less pathetic in time.

I haven't played since around october.
I just fired up napoleonic wars today and I noticed I'm getting MUCH lower fps.
I used to get 40-60 on a server with 60+ people and now I get 10-20 with heavy stuttering even with 30~ people.
There's been no change to my graphic settings or my hardware.

For the player they are weak, for the ai with the formations enabled they are godly.
>>123501310
it doesn't take 4 stabs at all, it'll take one or two at the most if you're using it right
>>123501478
Spears are shit, lances are not except when they break which is normally always.
>>123502234
Outside of formations spears are pretty bad
>>123502412
>t. 30 polearm proficiency
>>123502412
Thats what spears have always been on the battlefield. The player doesnt maximize efficiency with crossbows or spears, but formations of those are the best on the battlefield.
why can't I hold all these imprisoned lords, and this is after I sold a couple back.

WELL LADS, IT LOOKS LIKE OL' CAPS MACLOCK WAS MUTED FOR "SPAMMING" ON THE FSE FORA. CAN'T EVEN CONTACT THE PR MANAGER FOR ADMIN ABUSE SIMPLY BECAUSE I MESSAGED THE ADMIN WHO WARNED ME THAT HIS LINKS DIDN'T EVEN WORK IN THE ACTUAL WARNING.
MY BEAUTIFUL THREAD HAS ALSO BEEN LOCKED FOR NO REASON BUT SHITTY HATRED. VINCENT IS AN ITALIBOO FAGGOT THAT CAN'T EVEN MAKE A PROPER MOD BEFORE CHARGING MONEY FOR IT AND THEN ABANDONING IT AFTER RUINING IT EVEN MORE.
WELL DONE, FAGGOT, WELL DONE.
CLAN MACLOCK WILL NEVER DIE!
how beginner-friendly is warband
>>123506006
HAHAHAHHAHAA
Just start playin', bruh.
>>123506006
Not a great deal, but the default difficulty settings are super low and you can always select the option to save and quit whenever you want for savescumming. In that case it's not too bad, but if you go with the "realistic" save mode you're gonna find yourself very upset when your first Warband gets utterly destroyed by some Steppe Bandits and you have to start over.
>>123505419
meritocracy is my favorite
>>123505775
i like big lances and I cannot lie
you other knights can't deny
That when a serf walks up with an itty bitty spear I put a big lance in their face
They get owned
So Caribbean is on sale, and with the Blood & Gold edition coming for free, if you own the base game is it hightideto pick it up?

Still chilling in the HRE, not much going on just some the very rare bandit band and mercenaries causing trouble. I've made my region incredibly safe, but I want to smash heathens!
Unique troops anon here, had a go at modifying faces in battles, initially just trying to make everybody look like Harlaus. At first it seemed to be a great success.
>>123512805
Then I hired some guys and went into our first battle against looters.
>>123512930
These motherfuckers ain't Harlaus, but at least they're not bald downies I guess.
Fuck yes, I got it. Prepare your anus Calradia, the butter clones are coming.
So I'm a mercenary for Swadia, and I'm wandering around in rhodok territory, when I find count Plais imprisoned at castle Etrosq. I have not received any quest to free him, I'm pretty low level, and my party is too small to simply take the castle. I've never rescued a captured lord before.
What are my options for getting him out?
>>123517916
Walk into the settlement, go to the prison and break him out, or talk to the lord of the castle
>>123517975
>or talk to the lord of the castle
Does this require high persuasion or lots of money?

>>123517975
Actually, never mind, the lord isn't even home right now. Does this mean my only option is violence?
>>123518123
I'm pretty sure you need lods of emone, but I haven't tried it in a while so I'm not certain
>>123518323
Pretty much
>>123518323
The prisonbreak quests are a fun way to mix things up since it limits your equipment. Even str builds are vulnerable, one of the more fun quest lines in the game.
I've just joined a tournament, and Jeremus is one of the competitors. If he wins the tournament instead of me, will I still get to go to the feast, since he's one of my companions?
>>123518262
I WAS ONLY THERE FOR FUN. I GOT THE MOD FOR FREE FROM SOMEONE ELSE AND JUST GO ON THE SERVERS TO FUCK WITH PEOPLE. CLAN MACLOCK IS NAE A REGIMENT, FAGGOT.

So with the Sultanate is defeated, I should leave the Crusader States now that Jerusalem has been reclaimed for Christendom?
>>123518262
I bet you're bad desu.
>>123519385
is that a challenge bruv
>>123506006
you gonna get fucked up early on
only the strong-willed can endure these trials and rise as a warrior of Calradia. Thine strength/agility must each be at least twelve for tier 4 horses and good weapons, any higher and thine specialty will be leading small elite forces from the front. Intelligence/charisma are your most important stats as a leader and sacrifice the durability of the player for the sake of larger armies with a better chance of surviving wounds and faster healing.
One can carve out a fine path as a warrior lord in Calradia with a strength/agility build, but will find trouble leading a growing empire as King against larger foes. Still, either is viable. Warband allows you to lead from the front or behind, whatever you choose to do.
Personally, I did a bit of a hybrid character, going for 18s across the board, because it's my first file and I wanted to experience a little bit of everything. I've got three really high intelligence companions and they help with tracking/leadership/healing skills. Personally this was the ideal compromise for me, allowing me to invest in str/agl while still benefiting from intelligence in my companions. A lot of skill points wasted though, never did shit with bows and I almost wish I dabbled in throwing axes. Oh well, doesn't ultimately matter, you can do admirably with small numbers and elite troops. I guess I wish it was a little less expensive, that's where charisma comes into play. Always remember to compensate your weaknesses with your companions, and make sure to focus on stats that are specifically "leader" stats, there are incremental bonuses at certain levels in your companions with lower leadership stats (2, 4, 8, etc.)but for the most part everyone should be specialized.
If I select this option, he allows me to become his vassal, even though my renown is only about 140-150 or so. I thought my renown had to be 200 before I could become a vassal? Is he only letting me become a vassal because I'm, like, forfeiting my rights to ever hold a fief, in perpetuity, or something?
>>123521249
Forgot pic.
>>123521491
>>123521249
>he chose a girl
kek
idk man I've never been a grill
>>123521249
Renown required to become a vassal is about 150ish, not 200.
You should be able to obtain fiefs later through conquest like anyone else, you just don't get a freebie for signing up.
>>123523932
My renown was 140, I checked. I'm mainly just concerned that it might have been an exploit or a bug, because I asked him twice in the same conversation, and he said no the first time but yes the second time.
>>123520795
I like throwing axes
>>123508608
Since whoever already owns Caribbean! gets the new game for free I'd say get it just for the new game coming out on the 10th.
>>123514032
Are these faces persistent?
>>123524604
I figure a one-slot throwing weapon is a must for infantry armies. Im a cav-based build and although the crossbow is great, sometimes i wish i could carry two melee weapons with a shield instead of just one.
>>123528609
i hope we can confirm infantry units to spawn with a throwing weapon in bannerlord but it doesn't make them categorized as archers
>>123530096
That could be achieved pretty easily in Warband with a simple script.
>>123530347
the less scripts the better desu
you can already kind of get it anyway if you put thrown items in their inventory but don't set the ranged flag, i think it's like a 50% chance to spawn with it i'm not sure
>>123528609
I guess it depends on what cavalier type I'm playing, for heavy I usually just roll out in the field with a lance, sword, and shield. Switch to javelins or crossbow for sieges.
Skirmisher I go light, a sword, a shield and a crossbow/thrown weapon. Thrown weapons are kind of not good from horseback.
>>123531049
>the less scripts the better
Why...?
A claimant I want to talk to is behind these doors, but I had to sneak into the city because I'm a mercenary for a faction this one is at war with. The guard says something like, "Beggars aren't allowed in the lord's hall!" when I talk to him. Will the guards attack me if I go inside?
The Vaegirs can marshal 1500 men whereas I can barely manage over 500. Our peace is fragile, it'll be a hell of a war if it comes to that, and the way things are going for me, that's not exactly unlikely.
>>123533003
Lol, never mind, the door is locked.
Do I seriously have to wait until my mercenary contract expires, before I can talk to Isolla?
>>123533140
Claimants will also travel.
>>123533140
She'll probably have moved somewhere else by then. Claimants don't remain in one position.
>>123532685
it affects performance
>>123531451
>Thrown weapons are kind of not good from horseback.
they can be if you invest in horse archery, but the main problem is they have a really low ammo capacity
>>123533383
>it affects performance
No it wouldn't.
he could have had a private death
instead...
but alas, they always run
>>123533464
there's a significant difference in performance for mods that use PBOD and ones that don't
also some stuff that's scripted is kinda shit, like the alternate weapon modes mod
when they know how to counter chambers, anons, you must footwork
>>123535178
The specific script I was talking about would not affect performance at all.
Does anybody have a link to the 1257ad submod?
So I just found Deshavi for the first time today, and my god she is just so beautiful. I could sit here watching her lobbing arrows at the enemy all day. Her form is perfect. None of my other companions have any power draw, so she's the only bow user, and she just stands out so wonderfully.
>>123537387
I believe she clashes with other female companions and honorable companions
>>123538609
None of the free companions clash with each other. Jeremus, Firentis, Marnid, Ymira, and Deshavi are all fine together.
Kek.
>>123537387
All of the companions in Native start at such low levels that you can basically train them into whatever you want.
>>123539209
Some have better potential as warriors than others though. Alayen and Katrin is the worst. Ymira has the greatest potential as an INT bitch but isn't that great when made into a fighter.
>>123539387
Alayen is the best and Katrin is the worst*
Fucking hell.
>>123539387
Low level + high level just means that you can pump their trainer skill higher earlier. This contribution is underrated as players forget that Warrior companions level faster + trainer stacking.
And you don't get much better than 10 power _____.
>>123539642 (typo)
Low level + High initial INT
Bah
>>123539387
And how about my beloved Deshavi?
>>123539209
>that lack of aesthetics
>>123539729
Pretty decent overall according to the spreadsheet I was autistic enough to put together.
>>123539475
>alayen
Fuck yeah. That guy puts in work, and whem everyone else is fucking up, he's still hacking away. My first and best companion. Was so sad to see him go, but he was being groomed for lordship from the start.
So I was traveling incognito in hostile rhodok territory, trying to find lady Isolla so I could overthrow king Harlaus. But I guess, when traveling incognito, you can't actually enter castles, so I wasn't able to meet with her. Anyway, on my way back to friendly lands, I noticed that Harlaus was besieging the city of Veluca. I made it to the city just barely in time to take part in the final assault, in which I killed a grand total of three dudes. I basicly just hung back with Jeremus and Deshavi and plinked at the enemy with our bows, while Harlaus and his retainers charged in with his vanguard like a champ. Afterward, Harlaus thanked me for fighting "side by side" with him (IE, standing on the parapet twenty feet above him, bopping rhodoks on the head with my arrows). I was grateful he didn't ask me what I had been doing in rhodok territory before I joined the siege. "Oh, nothing, your grace, only trying to undermine your rule by consorting with a traitor and would-be usurper who's been hanging out with your enemies over in Yalen."
>>123539475
>>123540017
It does my heart good to see anons with such impeccable taste here. Keep doing what you're doing, my fellow lords.
>>123540221
>lords
And kings ;)
>>123540221
I once charged 30 mamuks with 10 companions on horseback, like some kingdom of heaven shit. They were dropping left and right and eventually it was just me and alayen fucking shit up. We both got surrounded but fought our way to each other and proceeded to slay the sand filth in glorious fashion before hastily retreating to my infantry. Thats when i decided my companions needed lances and alayen was a fucking boss
10/10 knight would battle in seemingly hopeless conflicts again
anon's mods fag here, idk if anybody actually plays any of my mods but i'm debating on changing spearmen infantry (for my tocan's mod) for each faction to spears only, to keep them consistent and to prevent them switching weapons every 20 seconds and getting killed because of it

Its cool m8. These are from a pretty old game and I am actually a bit irritated with the +2 AGI. Typically I will go full INT after 30 STR for these characters to max skills in the following priority:
Trainer --> Power Draw -> Power Strike -> Iron Flesh || Persuasion
Recent game I turned all of the non-noble companions with companion bubble issues into dedicated diplomats... And I am actually regretting not doing the same for my noble companions as companions are mediocre lords anyways due to low renown + being martial (at best) + having no friends among the default nobility.

Its more about the focus on formations and the faction variety. Youve got barbars, hellenic pikes, etc. The ancient world would be a fun setting with a variety of playstylesnaturally focusing on rome :)
I don't like the Romans, their women are as ugly and practical as their segmented armor.
>>123578856
There's more faction variety in native than in the roman period

Lorica Segmentata wasn't even close to being the most commonly used armor, mostly they used the Lorica Hamata which was mail.

How exactly does that even happen? That's the size of a kingdom by itself. I recall there being an image of a Dark Knights' castle and within their ranks was one Peasant Girl.

It looks like that anon increased the troop cap in Floris, as he has a 420-sized army himself. It also happens that the bandit leaders' wild ride have a LOT of prisoners for each separated party just because they go on a rampage as soon as they see anything moving too close. If you give any secondary party in the battle to free some prisoners, if they somehow survive...

I'm talking about like Napoleonic Wars MP big with sizeable armies. 1257AD is a good example, but I've played that into the ground.
>>123600757
anon your playthrough is going just like mine. I was a merc for swadia, wanted to be a lord but Harlass was getting his butterbutt kicked, so I joined rhodoks instead, waited for swadia to die. I took many castles and towns, and after many months I was finally denied a castle I took, allowing me to rebel and revive swadia.
Don't get too buddy buddy with the rhodoks lords or it will be hard to get the king to deny you a fief. Took forever for me because I made the mistake of gaining graveth's favor. Try being marshal and try to stack your controversy past 50 and then start taking castles. Eventually you'll be denied one. You should rebel a lot sooner than I did to be quite honest family

>>123613246
you're offloading shit to your cpu if everything's low and I doubt this is multi-core optimized
also you missed the "dx7"
Ideally if you're starting a new faction a city is best, but any particular castles that are more defensible than others? Anything that requires siege towers obviously, but what else?
>>123615208
grunwalder is generally considered one of the hardest castles to attack
unuzdaq is pretty cool too desu
>>123615208
haringoth is a bitch to take. I think derichos is the one where you scale the walls and there's only one way down into the courtyard and enemy missile units are on the walls all around the courtyard, which happens to be the only way up to those walls. So it's a hail of missile fire and then once you get up it's another hail of missile fire.

Gekokujo or PoP? And does Geko have Freelancer?
>>123631245
PoP isn't as bad as autists here make it out to be, I recommend trying it at some point but I haven't played Geko so I can't say which you should do first.
>>123631245
depends what you want, geko is pretty polished and has fun pike and shot warfare but there's a lack of troop variation as there's basically 3 troop types: pikemen, archers/gunners, and cavalry
PoP is closer to traditional M&B of every faction having their best unit and the rest being shit, along with a bunch of other fantasy stuff in it
>And does Geko have Freelancer?
yep
>>123631591
>>123631640
Alright, thanks. Since I just got done with Floris I think Pendor sounds more appealing at the moment. Any tips for someone whose favorite tactic is holding back and letting archers chew up the enemy?
>>123631640
Although, you should play 1257 anyways because it's all HISTORICAL, and thus wildly unbalanced and sometimes blatantly unfair in a very refreshing way that will be challenging, but in a way that doesn't make you go "hey fuck this, that is a magic asshole elf/demon, this is bullshit".
Instead you get so angry your eyes throb because the King of Norway decided to sail for about a week to powerfuck your fief with every lord in the Kingdom of Norway and you can't do anything, or because random bandits proceed to kill your horse, break your shield, and gank most of your party because throwing weapons are pretty mean, and then they steal your armor and/or horse and rob you of most of your very expensive mercenary company, totally fucking you.
You never really get over losing the armor, much less the horse because good horses are eye wateringly expensive in that mod.
You also probably will experience other, migraine inducing fits of anger because of how amazingly annoying Knights in any form are, especially how any large enemy group will have such a clusterfuck of them and will happily use them liberally.
You might also get quite annoyed at how prevalent crossbowmen are in general, and how pettily bitchy different troops are about working with each other.
It's fucking great, I swear.
>>123631834
Ravenstern Rangers. Get lots of them. They train up super fast and are pretty much the best faction archers around. You would also do well recruiting Barclay Sappers if you ever see them in taverns.
Is there a good Rome mod yet?
>>123632214
>Chasing horse archers in Anon's 1257
The very definition of fun
>>123632358
>They train up super fast and are pretty much the best faction archers around
I'd argue that they're the best archers in PoP due to the "superior" archers being harder to obtain. Noldor are nice and all but getting some takes a lot of time and effort and losing one is extremely painful for you. Quantity (and good quality) over absurdly high quality, if you will.
Also I second that Barclay Sappers thing. Those guys are worth every penny and make a fantastic addition to any warband.
Revel in the general while you can, /mbg/, for as Bannerlord draws ever closer we will see an increasing number of /v/ fucking shits invading our precious thread.
You have been warned.
>>123630380

Unique troops anon here, looking for opinions on diversity of faces. I'm now setting face info for each individual troop, but there's a fucking LOT of it if you want to do it properly, face codes are fucking 256 bits. So instead I'm taking shortcuts and in particular, I'm leaning towards just cutting out 100% of the face slider stuff so all troops are exactly identical in face structure, only differentiated by the different face, hair and beard options, hair colour and age. Pic related is an example of this.
Does everybody think this would be totally fine? I initially tried randomly setting the face sliders and the results looked absolutely fucking retarded, not sure how the game engine does it.
>>123637310
Another angle of these guys.
>>123637310
>I initially tried randomly setting the face sliders and the results looked absolutely fucking retarded, not sure how the game engine does it.
i'm 95% sure the game doesn't actually pick faces between the two face codes, it just uses those two face codes for troop faces
i've never seen one troop type with more than two different faces
should I use anons modded tocans? what does it change
>>123637431
Whoa, really? I never bothered paying attention, maybe I should test that out. If that's true then I sure as hell don't have to worry about a lack of facial diversity in my mod. Here's when I tried to randomly generate everything.

you could give it a go, it's standalone
nite nite

>>123637431
It does pick randomly, the algorithm is just bad and the two "end" codes get unfairly weighted.
The same goes for troops and items where you can't specify "if I have this item, then don't give that item" and you end up having troops with three daggers. The RNG systems in warband are crap.
I forgot how much fun floris is despite its age. Also the maille armor feels more realistically durable than 1257ad. Probably because I don't get shot to pieces by archers instantly.
