I honestly don't know if it will fuck your files, however, enterprises were not in the release version of Warband, they only came in patch 1.15xx or something like that. Since it's not updated, I presume you're playing on a crack?

Anyway, if it does end up screwing with your savefile, you can always export your character and import it into the new version, that should work without problems since all it does is transfer your character with the skills and property it had.

Got hooked again after yesterday's thread and installed Gekokujo. Getting raped by rebels, rebuilding your party than beating them up and freeing what's left of your old party is so heartwarming

so do i play vanilla or what? i dont need any mods for a first playthough right

>>383212374

>>383212374
Talk to your companions, there should be an option to send them on a 'improve right to rule' mission. Do this before you make your kindom of course. I think ~100 r2r is enough to start.

>>383212374
Make friends with your king and join his wars.
When you capture a castle there is a chance he might give it to you.

Thanks one way.

>>383212359
Vanilla is totally adequate.

You may want to get the pack that allows Total War style pre-battle deployment, and better diplomacy. I don't know the name, as its changed a few times, ask the Mount and Blade general on /vg/

Not OP but is it recommended to download any mod like graphic enhancing or go in raw?

Shit I just started playing again yesterday, seems like its that time of year for everyone.

I had a game about pirates when I was little. As much as I can remember, it was like Mount and Blade but with ships and really, really old.

I think it MAY have been Corsairs.

>>383215312
i know what this dude is talking about but i can't remember the name either

It's this https://www.roblox.com/games/5310452/Galleons-v7-0c-shutdown

>>383215509
I don't remember any pirate skeletons, but I didn't play very long on any particular save file.

I think you could own settlements? There were also the different factions, Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and the Dutch. Combat was in two phases. While you used the cannons, it was on the normal travel screen and you just shot at each other. You had different shell types too, chain for ruining sails, canister for killing people, solid shot for sinking ships. Boarding combat was a top-down view of both ships and you had to kill the opposing crew.

>>383215854

>>383206380
>What am I in for

SJW faggotry since the most optimal build means can only be achieved by playing as a female character character due to her possible starting stats being better in the long run than her male counterpart.

A female character may not be the best choice for to use as a fighter but she is the best equipped to maintain run and heal an army much more better than a male character. Which outside the very beginning starts to matter a shit ton more than being able to fight well yourself.

Not say a male character will have much trouble wining the game but just that the female if built optimally has the easiest time doing so.

Also, is there a way to mass buy/loot/sell? Or is it just 1 by 1? It's late rn and I want to play the game instead of looking through documentation/guides/manuals, i'll do that tomorrow

how do you deal with the arrow/bolt drop when you take a shot? I can never see where it hits so i ave no idea how much more higher i have to aim when making long distance shots.

>>383222008
Doesn't it tell you how much damage you did? I just guesstimate based on that whether I go higher or lower, if I aim higher and do more damage I'll stay there and repeat, if not then I'll go lower and repeat.

>>383221801
if you hold control, you can just click on the items instead of dragging them.

The Diplomacy mod has an auto-sell feature.

>tfw it's one of those "back story creators" for your stats where you pick your parents occupation and your childhood, etc
>tfw always anxious doing those (or any character creation for that matter) in a new game because I don't know what the builds are or what stats to go for, but looking up builds feels like cheating

Is this why I'm shit at video games? Should I just look up builds and see what to buff and what to ignore? There's something about that that just feels like cheating, I try to make a specific char when i play a new game, and then i just do what that character would do when leveling up/picking skills/making choices.
Anyone else do it that way or do you guys look up the "useful" skills first?

>>383222008
There is a way to zoom in, I forget which key. Check your binds.

>>383222496
>>383222219
Don't forget you can play in first person. I find that much easier to guess the arc of a bow shot than third person. It's not perfect but after 2 or 3 shots I find it easy to see how the physics work with that weapon's ammo and just guess from there

If I go to a castle and the king isn't there, do I just look for him in the town or whatever? Just started a game, and I did a bounty for the king and I have to return to him to collect, but he's not in the place I met him. Will he be wandering around or do I need to come back at a different time?

>>383222819
You need to find him, ask a lord or a lady for his location then good luck catching up to him

>>383223071
Shit, I have no idea what a lord or lady means? Is that the guildmaster? I just started. I'm in the (I'm assuming) capital, because its name is larger than most when you zoom out on the map. Where do you find lords/ladies?

>>383223071
Pathfinding helps a lot; if you move faster he's a lot easier to find.

Honestly either pathfinding or surgery are the best skills in the game.

>>383223336
Lords are people leading other parties, like yours. Ladies are their wives/daughters/sisters/mothers. There is no capital, the empire has fallen and these 6 factions are fighting for the scraps.

>>383223336
A lord is someone with a fief and an army, you can find them on their castles, towns or wandering the map, ladies are, well ladies, that are female members of a family and are normally in towns or castles
Large Names = Towns
Medium Names = Castles
Small Names = Villages
You can either wait for the king in the town he owns or ask someone for his whereabouts

>>383223523
>>383223569
Alright, thanks. I guess I'll travel to near by castles and see if there are lords/ladies in there that know his whereabouts. Really wish there was someone in the town that I could talk to to find out where he is, but whatever I guess. Combat's fun enough to make it worth the minor grievences

Alrighy, you guys have convinced me to try this game.

Is there any difference between buying directly from Taleworlds or getting the GOG or Steam version? If not I'll probably get it on GOG because Galaxy is way less intrusive than steam overlay and I don't have to deal with cloud bullshit

>>383226258
just pirate it and see if you like it first
if you want to purchase it then buy it from whoever you want; gog if you find it less intrusive, taleworlds if you want to directly support the dev instead of a 3rd party

>>383226258
Taleworlds is cheaper now that the Steam sale is over

Also pay them directly so they can finish the sequel faster

>>383218991
>>is there a run button? i feel like im moving slow and shift just zooms
Putting points into agi and athletics increases your move speed. Not only is increased move speed convenient, investing in it is worth it for the better ability to strategically position. Unless you're a cavfag. Which is fine. But cavfag is easymode. Also, your run speed increases if you run in a straight line for a couple seconds on a flat surface.

>how do you know where to look for enemies in battle? Am I just supposed to run around and find them or is there some indicator I'm missing
Like >>383219501 said, press backspace. The minimap is a core component of M&B, so even if backspace doesn't pull the map up, you'll still be able to find what key does if you look in the configuration menu.

>>383222008
Missiles in M&B are rendered as their own objects. If you look closely, you can see their arc and the rate that they drop at. Getting good at long range bow/crossbow shooting is just practice, but once it clicks, god damn is it satisfying.

>>383222459
Very few of the skills in M&B are legit useless. One of the reasons M&B is so good is because literally any build can work if you play to its strength.

>- if you have a horse in your inventory for every 4other item, you will move faster on the worldmap
Didn't knew this, can it be any slow horse or it has to be a expensive race horse?

>>383229861
copy´ed and pasted

"I'm pretty sure none of a horse's stats contribute to the map speed bonus, so any horse will do."

"Tests done by past gamers showed that six is the most you can have before it makes no difference."

"Keep in mind that having horses in inventory does not actually speed your party up on the map in the way that the Pathfinding skill does. All they do is reduce the map speed penalty from having a lot of weight in your inventory. So, if you travel light (with just food and a couple of books, for example) having a bunch of horses just takes up room. When you get to the point that you start carrying tons of food and baggage trains to feed a big army for a siege, having those six horses WILL make a noticeable difference."

>>383230183
I see, thanks.
