good thing about warband is that you do what you want
I've never made my own country either, I much prefer to join an existing lords army as a normal soldier (you can do this with mods) and let things play out on the campaign map by the AIs decisions
Angel Cruz
yeah mate pretty good, you?
Connor Price
except the ai is retarded and you end up fighting 5 looters with 500 trained soldiers
Eli Reed
got any more screenshots?
Austin Gonzalez
This.
I had a 500+ stong man at arms army.
A handful of bandits decided to mug me and charged headlong into 500 men and lasted all of 3 seconds.
The AI in that is beyond dumb.
Julian Rivera
maybe because I play with mods but I've not once had bandits try me when I clearly had the superior force. they just run away the second I get anywhere near them
Caleb Green
Where the fuck are all the bandits? Who am I supposed to fight? Should I just do delivery quests for lords until I can become a vassal?
William Bennett
Never do courier quests, if they ask you to wipe out bandit lairs or collect tax then do that. Also try to do quests for the king since he has larger holds and towns which means a bigger cut when dealing with tax. Another economical method is to buy iron from Curaw if you're playing vanilla and sell it almost anywhere else.
Hudson Garcia
It's such a comfy game. Is it possible to do more battle strategies in it? I'd love to be able to pull off maneuvers and stuff, and have it be better than just charging straight at them. What mods are best for an armchair general?
Christian Miller
what mods? I really like the sound of that. I did it once in gekokujo
Cameron Sanchez
If you want to evolve from straight out pitch battles you could do what I do:
>infantry at the front, will make the initial charge
>archers behind infantry on elevated ground
>after infantry has made contact take cavalry with follow me command and charge the flanks.
After that I let them loose for a charge and I pick off stragglers myself.
Jaxson Mitchell
Always thought the game was interesting, but I'm a poorfag who can't even spend a dozen buckaroos.
How does it work?
Dylan Smith
1257AD & Floris Evolved
I also like The Last Days but it doesn't have the freelancer mod built into it
Jaxson Gomez
I tend to do the same thing. But I'd love it if you could do more in depth strategies.
Justin Wilson
Like what? Viking Conquest has more formations like shield wall but I feel like they're sorta broken.
Jayden Moore
Medieval sandbox simulator that's easy to get into. I'd recommend with all my heart with hundreds of hours played.
Jeremiah Clark
Nothing in particular. I just wish that you could come up with more than "charge straight at them." It feels like there's so little to do when you're actually on the battlefield. Moving units around would be a lot more fun than running around in circles on a horse. Imagine pulling off a Cannae.
Aaron Carter
>all those retarded unit names in floris mod
Where did they even come up with this shit?
Adrian Hill
Well, you can, but it'll never be as effective as the standard infantry-archers lines that everyone uses.
Maybe in Bannerlord, friend.
Justin Jackson
>Maybe in Bannerlord, friend.
Will I even be alive when they release it?
Lincoln Thompson
I'll send my robot butler to check on you when they release it
Michael White
Graveth holds too many feasts, I am trying to conquer.
Evan Adams
Please do, considering it has been 6 years since it was announced.
Mason Long
i dont play warband, user.
i play with fire and sword
Noah Campbell
light and darkness 2 when??????????
Henry Garcia
Holy fuck you're not kidding
He's been good to me though. Gave me Praven & veluca which are both high income sources
Isaiah Torres
Is it possible to make a phalanx?
Asher Ortiz
Maybe next sale, dear user, maybe next sale.
Charles Ward
Worst of them all in my humble opinion due to firearms making armour redundant.
Connor Smith
You won't regret it my friend, give me your steam and I'll add you later.
Robert Sanders
I had a game where my own kingdom was in control over more than half the map. Lost everything after my laptop died though. Now when I play singleplayer it's only to slaughter peasants.
Xavier Williams
I burnt out on M&B and mods a few years ago. A damn shame, those were fun times.
Nathaniel Lopez
In terms of putting men with spears into a box shape, yes.
Kayden Gomez
But it's almost harvesting season!
Luke Davis
I hate how eventually you have no choice but to restart the game because very bandit gang is 5x faster than you and 400 men strong (and growing). How do I fix this? I want to be able to participate in war without being guaranteed to have to restart the game by the first lost battle.
Gabriel Brooks
if anything, it makes it even more important.
Jaxson Long
I wish i could play this game legitimately, but I always end up getting bored and enabling cheats, so I can amass a massive army and have huge battles, I think I'm gonna try a legit play through right now.
Gavin Fisher
Couldn't finish taking over the continent because my save file corrupted. Only managed to take two countries.
Kayden Campbell
Just pirate it. If they hadn't pulled the barely-changed unplayable-at-release reboxing that was warbands, I would totally have supported people buying it, but their unscrupulous business practices make me recommend another approach.
Daniel Nelson
Nothing like pacing just a tad faster than unmounted units and plugging their faces with arrows.
Samuel Brooks
Harvesting season indeed, but not in the way you imagined it, vile beggar.
Hudson Smith
Hardly, I was shot while wearing a breastplate and my health was reduced to nearly empty.
Asher Watson
yeah and you would've been dead without it
Luke Watson
floris for the troop trees
Austin Fisher
Literally what
That has never happened to me ever
Isaac Taylor
See that's the thing, if I wear a mail hauberk in Warband I can take a good few hits before going down while in F&S I get shot and if I'm lucky I'm still standing.
Andrew Walker
>playing fire and sword
Isaiah Howard
>I have literally never played the game
What's the point of your post?
David White
that's why you stack on the armor. if it bothers you that much, you can lower the damage
Nicholas Wood
My point is that you're dumb and also git gud
Elijah Jackson
>reality doesn't real because I can look for a steam playtime image on google images
Grayson Hall
I don't, the other guy does if you read through our conversation. I was just explaining how I feel that firearms ruin the game.
Michael Flores
I think he's playing Floris, that's where you get literally armies of bandits chasing you.
Fuckers sometime can even defeat a king's party.
Nathan Roberts
In case you're worried, these screenshots require literally no effort whatsoever
stupid faggot lol
Blake Bailey
Not him but come on man, there's no need for hostility.
Kayden Walker
That's pretty much just a straight charge without being retarded .... that's not strategy
Thomas Murphy
Why are you so insistent on claiming that you rewrote the game from scratch so you could avoid core mechanics of the game, what do you gain from making composite pictures in ms paint to pretend you're an expert on a subject you obviously haven't even broached for 5 seconds?
Easton Fisher
Fair enough, I was just explaining my usual attack plan.
Angel Morales
Anyone else notice that goods get progressively cheaper in villages the longer you play? In Viking Conquest I've seen wool go as cheap as 30 pennings.
Ryder Baker
prices are dynamic based on in-game trade between settlements, and your trade stats of course
Jonathan Reyes
Yeah but the villages can't be doing that well? I sailed from Ireland to isle of man where I worked my way up through England to Scotland and the majority of villages were selling produce dirt cheap. I even went as far as Norway to buy tar for cheap. Made like a 3000 penning profit when I got back to Ireland.
Zachary Ramirez
villages will do better if they're in "safe" zones, i.e aren't on the borders with rival factions or being raided by bandits
Also it'll vary by item, if there's plenty of it it'll sell for cheap. If it's rare, in the area, prices go up
Jose Perez
I think it's related to how much horrible rape you've done to other armies recently. It sort of makes sense - they don't have any idea who you are or whether you're in the area, they see some rich-looking horsemen, and oh fuck those horsemen were your army's scouts and now 500 dudes are pincushioning them with throwing axes and vaegir arrows.
Asher Taylor
I suppose, being a trader in that game with a small group of well trained bodyguards is comfy as fuck.
Jonathan Peterson
Halp me friendorinos
>got hasty and stupidly established my country on Shariz
>surrounding villages hate me because of past raids so no recruits for me
>to top that, I'm at war with the Rhodocucks and Sarraniggers, that hate me and keep raiding my villages like lunatics
>already so far on the game I don't want to start over
I'm literally mentally REEing about this now.
Gavin Gonzalez
FEASTS FOR THE LORD OF BUTTER
Parker Morgan
wrong king
Asher Jenkins
Shit havent play vanilla in like 5 years
Wyatt Morales
Ive been playing red wars mod recently. Took over all of China recently, supplanting it with the Republic of Rhodesia.
Something special about mowing down a bunch of chinks from horseback with a machine gun
Jacob Reed
>red wars
>china
i thought red wars had calradia as setting?
John Collins
It is, but I can't think of their name in calderia, but they're literally supposed to be the communist chinese
Jackson Robinson
Why hasn't some other non-lazy non-T*rk studio seen the niche potential and developed an M&B knock-off yet i wonder
Owen King
Knockoffs rarely have any market (first mover advantage), unless they are first-to-market (e.g. minecraft vs infiniminer).
Typically, successful niche games like m&b are quite simply dumb luck and weren't created to any effort to target a specific demographic, or based on sales studies, or through focus group surveys. People also don't go "this is going to be the greatest game ever" but either aim to make a dumb game because they can, or a good game they'd like to play for their own sake.
