LONG MAY HE REIGN!!
There have been numerous undisputable masterpieces in Mount & Blade modding, such as the strikingly realistic classic 1257AD or its Japanese counterpart Gekokujo. Warwolf will not join their ranks; its surface is too generic, its presentation too provocative and its messages too obscure. Its take on the abysmal is an illumination in one person’s despair, but a paroxysm of another’s perversion. It will remain underground – treasured by the most avant-garde among intellectuals for its edifying if horrifying insight into the fundaments of human morality. Philistines and self-proclaimed critics alike will shun Warwolf, but you can’t fault them for that. It takes wisdom to appreciate its subtleties, and courage to side with the unpopular opinion. Sed domi maneas paresque nobis novem continuas fututiones.
Superficially, Warwolf appears to be a mod which caters to the most proletarian among men; aloof critics dismiss it as such often without a second thought. As complacent as these self-proclaimed "feasters of butter" are, they fail to realize that Warwolf is a cult classic, a chef d'oeuvrea buried under false preconceptions and unfounded criticism. This gem is hidden because it does not shine; it is buried because its tone is that of abyssal black. Warwolf pries into to the darkest corners of our subconscious, the most visceral of our cognition, the most carnal of our urges, and the most primal of our instincts.
As brilliantly put by Cattalus, "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo"; to describe the artistic qualia of Warwolf would be to describe music to the deaf, color to the blind or beauty to the philistine. The painting speaks for itself, and it is up to the player to fully absorb its depth. Its sublimity will ever be debated yet always remain objectively irrefutable; the fundamental insight it provides into human and perhaps animalistic nature may shape the basis of Mount & Blade modding for centuries to come.

What in Davy Jones’ locker did ye just bark at me, ye scurvy bilgerat? I’ll have ye know I be the meanest cutthroat on the seven seas, and I’ve led numerous raids on French ports, and raped over 300 wenches. I be trained in hit-and-run pillaging and be the deadliest with a pistol of all the captains on the high seas. Ye be nothing to me but another source o’ swag. I’ll have yer guts for garters and keel haul ye like never been done before, hear me true. You think ye can hide behind your letter of marque? Think twice on that, scallywag. As we parley I be contacting my secret network o’ pirates across the sea and yer port is being tracked right now so ye better prepare for the typhoon, weevil. The kind o’ monsoon that’ll wipe ye off the map. You’re sharkbait, fool. I can sail anywhere, in any waters, and can kill ye in o’er seven hundred ways, and that be just with me peg leg. Not only do I be top o’ the line with a cutlass, but I have an entire privateer fleet at my beck and call and I’ll damned sure use it all to wipe yer arse off o’ the world, ye dog. If only ye had had the foresight to know what devilish wrath your jibe was about to incur, ye might have belayed the comment. But ye couldn’t, ye didn’t, and now ye’ll pay the ultimate toll, ye buffoon. I’ll shit fury all over ye and ye’ll drown in the depths o’ it. Ye’re fish food now.

Yeah but Swadians weren't half as good as Chaos. I could easily wreck reiksgard knights with my MULTICULTURAL ENRICHMENT ARMY full of lizards, pirates and other humans.
Seriously, Chaos is a literal steamroll compared to all that I've played. Most entertaining playstyle is still desert nomad horse archer for me. However I can't figure out what kind of army to make out of it. I've been considering supplementing my cavalry with missile troops and fast moving infantry units. Does it sound good?

Shameful
>>137008658mm-me t-too.i hope bonerlord has toaster friendly support
>>137009204
That's it. I'm sick of all this "finest oak busse" bullshit that's going on in the Warband system right now. Nord boats deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine Nord boat in Kingdom of Nords for about 2,400,000 denars (that's about 20,000 cabbages) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even sail waves of solid ice with my Nord boat.
Nord boatmasters spend years working on a single Nord boat and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest boats known to mankind.
Nord boats are thrice as large as Swadian boats and thrice as fast for that matter too. Any wave a Vaegir boat can cut through, a Nord boat can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a Nord boat could easily drown a knight wearing full plate with a simple gangplank.
Ever wonder why Swadia never bothered conquering Kingdom of Nords? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Nords and their boats of destruction. Even in their 467th declaration of war, Sarranid soldiers targeted the Nords with the boats first because their sailing power was feared and respected.
So what am I saying? Nord boats are simply the best boats that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the Warband system.

I'm not really new to the game, not incredibly experienced either, I mostly just try to bruteforce my way through by having good gear and using lower damage.
I was surprised really how hard things are in this version of the mod.
>You can block with a 2hander.
I know but I don't seem to have much luck with weapons blocking, especially not when they're using a lunge.
>>137031549
are you using the shitty floris animations
>>137031549
iirc Floris generally turns up proficiences and shit beyond reason so it's really not a good environment to get used to parrying and normal damage
>flails are accurate for brytenwalda because the romans had chains

>>137031724

There's like a billion Floris versions out there, maybe this one is particularly nasty.
>>137032309
>I don't know.

You sound like one of those retards who gets Complete for his first STALKER playthrough (though you should never ever play complete while there might be some appeal in trying out Floris later down the road)

That is exactly the kind of situation where your ability at blocking would determine whether or not you get hit. It's actually the most obvious example of one. Why did you bring this up as if blocking isn't relevant in a 2h vs 2h fight?

On the topic of 1257, in a 3 way war, my faction the Teutonic knights vs Lithuania vs Sweden, Sweden and Lithuania are also fighting each other, its a mess. Also swedian keeps on attacking MY castle that I spent alot of gold in making shit is annoying. Its like everytime they try taking a castle, they target me. I want this fucker to declare peace one atleast one faction Jesus. We keep on winning fights so he doest feel like doing it but I need a breather.

That's boring.
I fight like a proper Champion of Chaos. I get an honor guard of elite units, and a blob of shitty to good units on a hill. Enemy tries to charge up the hill, then I flank and counter charge with my honor guard into the thick of the fighting in glorious combat. It's not unusual to kill around a hundred enemies by myself, a couple hundred more by my Warriors.
Only thing this strategy fails against is Tomb Kings, because Tomb Kings are op as fuck.

The only issues holding up release are a few vampire count models and the araby armour has a glare issue apparently
>>137055318
the women in 1257ad normally look like this
>>137054883
I wouldn't call them attractive.
The face you see in the pic is pretty much what all women look like. Which to me makes them appear to be jowly middle aged women.
>>137056883
>>137057297
Thank you very much guys.
Side note, how much RTR should I have before starting a kingdom in 1257?
>>137057656
Any reason why they look like that?

because the 1257 AD devs apparently thought that this mod: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,116278.0.html
was an improvement

Anyone got a link to that Viking Conquest mod by a slav? I really wanted to try it out.

How does a guy like that get into warhammer or mount and blade anyhow? Also stop doing that to yourself.
>never went to war with rhodoks before

>stomp them in the battlefield
>man, that was easy
>try to take a castleAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>137065867
as time passes in the game, enemies get a lot stronger, so by lategame castles will just be 100% elite troops
that's why you need to finish off rhodoks before any other faction
>>137064687

>>137067482
B&G isfunthough it is still easy to get rich quickly. Also still has that shitty not-Warband command system.
I sure can't wait to raid all of the English and Spanish towns that I can with the DLC.
>>137067253
>thinking skyrim is bad is a product of /v/
I sure love that combat, voice actor variety, skill system, plot, equipment variety, and great side quests anon!
reminder that huscarls are the most overrated and expensive unit to train up
it takes 6 tiers to train a nord recruit into a nord huscarl, and the amount of xp it takes to level up a troop is based on the unit being upgraded
upgrading a nord veteran into a nord huscarl takes more xp than any other unit in the game
and after all that, nord huscarls barely come out ahead against rhodok sergeants which are cheaper and faster to train anyways
>>137067796
Oh, I didn't know about the command system, thanks for the heads up anon.
>dem sexy Raifus
I'm planning for a total Spanish purge when I get super shekeled.
>>137067869
but huscarls also have ranged attacks in the form of throwing axe shitspam
and also theylook cooler
>>137067869
i dunno anon huscarls have a distinct combat superiority statwise
>>137068253
The Spanish are kinda shit in the game. They have the best melee troops in the game, but every faction has the same amount of Lords at the start, no matter how big or small they are. Which means the Spanish will mostly likely lose almost all of their towns to the Brotherhood or to the French. If you want to purge the Spanish, you need to do it fast.
>>137068489
Christ I had no idea rhocucks were this pathetic
>>137067832
I love Skyrim as a platform and framework for mods allowing you to craft a (relatively) unique experience. But Skyrim vanilla is a total sack of shit, just like every other rushed Beth game.

how many more must die to satisfy my thirst for conquest?
>>137068489
the gear is what makes the matchup more even
rhodok sergeants have better armor and weapons all around
the cleavers do 35c and the hammers do 31b which is some insane damage

All of them, anon.
At the end of your days, when you have conquered all there is to be conquered,
when your crown weighs heavy on your withered head,
when you sit atop a mountain of corpses, the corpses of your enemies that stood in your way and of your allies that helped you claw your way to power, when your empire fades and you no longer see the light,
then, and not before, you may remember them, anon, and then you may weep.
But not, not before.
Do you like you pimp out yourself? Or do you prefer a more simplistic look?
I wish native was more balanced, there's basically 0 reason to raise certain types of troops depending on faction you play
sarranid infantry, vaegir infantry, swadian infantry are all flat out worthless (dismounted cav are better than the infantry stat-wise)
khergit horse archers are flat out worthless (a level 14 khergit horseman upgrades to a level 14 khergit horse archer with a worse horse and worse power draw), khergit veteran horse archers take 5 tiers but khergit lancers which are superior in every way take 4 tiers
>>137069412
>>137069459
native balance is pretty retarded
>>137065023that's actually me
>>137069728
you did well, anon
>>137067253
The only excuse to play Skyrim is if it's overly modded, because
>the combat is piss easy with melee and pausing while using items, the ""balance"" behind monster scaling is pretty much "just give it more HP and attack lol", whereas magical damage doesn't even scale well in comparison, and let's not get started with how ridiculous sneak+bow is
>voice acting is once again bethesda tier, where the same guy voices multiple characters; they also look completely lifeless while talking, killing the VA's job from the start even if they actually did a good job at it
>looting wasn't even rewarding at times
>rofl skill system
>enchanting, alchemy and smithing were completely broken, on their own and coupled together
>I'm lazy to think about more stuff
I don't expect better stuff coming from TES VI, considering Skyrim, how its fanbase reacted to the game and TESO. But enough of that shit here I guess.
>>137069459
i'd even be willing to accept that the infantry are flat out worse than dismounted knights/mamlukes if there was actually an economic advantage to putting guards/sergeants in your castle garrisons but taleworlds decided to make it so that the upgrade cost for a unit is based on the level of the base unit instead of the unit that it's upgrading into
this means if there's a fork where you can choose to either upgrade into cavalry or infantry the cost is the same
the only potential advantage is that cavalry require 2x as much upkeep, but upkeep cost pales in comparison to the cost of upgrading troops anyways
