Is it possible for me to upload a module folder somewhere on the internet for you people to download? I'm making changes to Silverstag atm which I believe are harmless balance fixes to weapons, armour and troops.

Also, I'd love it if people who have played Silverstag could share with me something they disliked about the mod that I could fix, I'll put it in.

Most of the changes will be convenience changes such as removing stab from bardiches, and adding garantueed horse for troops meant to be mounted, etc. .

you can still get peasants from your fiefs, but once you start getting into big sieges peasants just become fodder and it's better to have mercenary lances
you can also hire full companies for 1000, instead of 3 babies for 300 denars and then having to wait for the village to restore so you can hire from it again

What's ''Default Ammo'' flag on Morgh's Editor?

First time playing 1257, things were going rather poorly. By chance I stumbled upon a tournament, thinking I'm going to get utterly destroyed.

Well the enemies were all heavy horse, so horse archery and lance made quick work of them.

yeah, a lot of seaxes tended to have much more rounded points which implies they aren't really used for stabbing, which is why they do more swing than hunting knives

what the fuck

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.

That's a bug. There's alot of those. For some reason in Blood & Steel they come and go MID-playthrough. Yesterday when I was playing (a couple of hours before removing the mod and promising to never download it again), my prisoner capacity went from 800 to 0 and I couldn't add any more prisoners for a while. Then suddenly it jumped back to 800 again after exiting a tavern.

I was going to do more colonization, but the Holy Roman Empire, or what remains of it in Northern Italy, went to war with us. So now I have to sail home while my fellow lords try to take Genoa.
Despite it making a ton more sense to move on Avignon.

>>137282176
I think I got it figured out. It makes sense that they're given additional stats depending on their ''tier'', as they're categorized by in Silverstag. There's the regular troop, then a veteran version and an elite version. The veteran is +1 tier above regular, and elite is +1 tier above veteran. So depending on what tier the regular troop in question started at, they have different tiers.

I think that might have something to do with their additional stats. Because Morgh's is showing incorrect stats even on their veteran and elite counterparts aswell.

God those AD 1257 sieges are horrible, the AI can't deal with the terrain at all getting stuck outside the walls.

Like this one.
There's a chance that an friendly lord will come to your aid in battle, likely dependent on your relationship with him. As far as I'm aware, only the lord himself, without any troops, spawn. It doesn't make a ton of sense, but I guess it's kind of neat.

If there are no tournaments or good fights around, I must do what lords do in times of war and extract wealth from the peasants.

>>137302668
>>totally random equipment kits for everyone, leading to often heinously paper v scissors matches
that's more of a problem with the weapon selection used, really if the game only picked melee it would be a lot better
which is why tournaments are much better in VC
>>score is Live or Lose, with only a minimal tracking of performance in-match, and only by kills
no it's get X kills per round before you die, otherwise you get kicked out
http://mountandblade.wikia.com/wiki/Tournaments#Tournaments
>To advance past the 1st tier you only need to defeat one person. The rest of the tiers require you to knock out two people each time. Oddly, knocking out your own teammates may count toward your requirement to advance.
>>>team placement around the arena is often unequally placed, and with odd-numbers of teams often puts the player in the position of their team getting gangraped at both flanks with no recourse
usually i've had this work to my advantage, since you can use commands in arenas i just kite my men into a corner so the two other teams end up killing each other, then we kill the remainder
>>horses
again that goes back to my first point but also VC doesn't have horses, and it's much better because of it

X number of points per tier to allocate only.
Here I would imagine you set the level for each troop, and hitting "set stats" just frees up all the Attribute and Skill points for the player to reallocate. Probably with extra or a high base Weapon Proficiency, because AI troops get a lot.

And only a limited budget/selection for equipment, because obviously.

>>137303771
The levels are set in troops.txt, so you could change them in Morgh's if you wanted but not in-game. The set stats button opens up the same screen as setting the stats of your companions, with a number of unallocated attribute and skill points appropriate for their level. Once you finish setting them, that button goes away and the stats are locked in.

The equipment you're able to give them is restricted based on level, but I haven't got around to a limited budget yet. It will of course be there eventually though.

Maybe, but should the player seriously be able to just keep changing them at whim? It's pretty hard to lock in a mistake when there's a reset button within the character editor screen you can use at any time.

>>137304701
There's gonna be an additional button for proficiencies which gives you an unallocated number that depends on level, agility and weapon master skill. It's going to difficult getting it right so that they're balanced compared to other troops.

Give it a cost, or a cooldown, or both. Some people click through shit really quick. Gotta weigh development both for preventing exploits, but also enabling the best experience during "normal" play.

The Transylvanians are trying to force us out of the Balkans, cities they once helped me take from the Ottomans.
Michael the Brave rides to break the siege of Plovdiv, but me and another general have intercepted him.

On a unrelated note, it's December of 1575, which means that the three year mark of this save is almost reached.
Europe's borders is getting delightfully fucked up after three years of pretty much constant warfare.

So I tried getting into warsword because everyone screams about a new version being released soon.

I installed some fix that was next to the download on nexus. Seems like they didn't really fix that much? After some playing everyone masturbates in their home city while making truces. There was another fix for that somewhere which didn't do anything at all.

Is there a not-so-much-fucked version somewhere on mega? Couldn't find anything useful in the pastebins. Help a blind nigga.

It seems like while we were driving the Vlachs out of Bulgaria, they have launched a siege on Pella. Leading the attack is Stephen Bocskay, a young and promising nobleman. He's supported by the armies of Voivode Christopher Báthory (though I guess he's functionally the Prince), who became the leader of Transylvania when his brother was elected King of Poland.
Also supporting are Jeremias II, Patriarch of Constantinople (three times actually), Giorgio Basta, an Italian general with Austrian and Catholic affiliations, as well as additional Vlach forces. It's a confusing and strange mix, but they're going to have to be thrown back from the walls.

Luckily I arrived in Pella just as the enemy assault began. We're outnumbered and I still haven't had a chance to rebuild my army after the battle with Michael the Brave and the bloody assault on Plovdiv, so it's not going to be a simple battle, though I'm confident that I'll win.

One good thing about playing historical mods is that it makes you want to find you who all these lords actually are.

Well, this is it.
January 1st 1576 marks three full years of Warwolf. It's been an experience. Maybe I should, I dunno, make a map of Europe or something. That might be fun.

And, like a great coincidence to mark this occasion, England actually managed to conquer Paris in the early morning hours of January 1st. This is kind of a big deal, not only because it shows how weak the French have become, having also recently lost other wars, but because it's a great military happening. Taking capitals in Warwolf is a big deal, as they're tough as shit and stuffed full of troops. The only capital I've ever seen fall before is the Native American capital that I took, but those were savages.
This is a well known and incredibly important city, as well as being the centre of a major European military power. Really didn't expect this, especially as England fared really bad in their last war with the French, as far as I can remember.
Unless they take it back, this might be the twilight of the Kingdom of France. And even if they do, I've seen an actual capital fall.

The work on Unique Troops mod continues.

I'm still amazed at what a convoluted clusterfuck I had before, compared to the simple, modular code I'm putting together now.

if you repeatedly remake your own banner sometimes some of the banner icons and scene props gets stuck until you reload the game

does reloading the module while windowed fix it?

It's not Holy, not Roman, not an Empire, and not even German. Everything is disgusting.

Yeah I think I'll gave up on ''balancing'' Silverstag. It's completely pointless. The mod is bugged beyond belief. Troops have completely random stats that even after changing them in Morgh's, gets edited after a game is started. Higher tier troops have lower skills at random compared to lower tier troops of the same type, lowest tier troops have 1 athlethics despite changing it to zero, and higher tier ones have 0. No point in trying to fix this if they have random stats like that.

>>137337172
That's half a vanilla problem, isn't it, random stat additions?

Playing Warsword, and I'm having some trouble in finding entertaining army compositions.
It just seems like any human faction that isn't Chaos can wreck shit, by planting all their infantry in a tight pack in front of their archers and letting the ranged units handle them. Are there any other strategies that don't just fall apart when fighting another large army?

>>137337172
The key to fixing the random stats is to actually assign them a total number of skill points that's appropriate for their level (don't ask me what that number is though). It's only when the total of their skills defined in troops.txt is below what it should be for their level that they get random top ups.

>>137337172
that's a native feature, and its not completely random, troops will have extra attribute points and skill points based on their level and stats, which they will distribute randomly

you can reduce the randomness by dumping CHA and random party skills on all the troops, meaning they don't have any spare points to randomly put into combat skills

>>137337415
>It just seems like any human faction that isn't Chaos can wreck shit, by planting all their infantry in a tight pack in front of their archers and letting the ranged units handle them.
That's true of every native faction, too. It's just that for some of them using heavy cavalry is more efficient.

>It's only when the total of their skills defined in troops.txt is below what it should be for their level that they get random top ups.
This was wierdly structured, what you mean is that as long as skills assigned, if that matches with total skill points, that random skill distribution will stop?

>you can reduce the randomness by dumping CHA and random party skills on all the troops, meaning they don't have any spare points to randomly put into combat skills
What do you mean? Should I increase Charisma of all troops to like 30, that somehow removes this random stat addition feature?

>>137337527
yes
easiest way to do it is to just give every troop 30+ CHA and maxed out party skills

>>137337617
Will random stat distribution cease if I only do the charisma part? I don't want to give them party skills.

>>137337603
But what's the point of cleansing Norsca and Kurgan from the North if I've got some filthy mutants doing it for me?

>>137337523
On a side note, why is it so hard to find a fucking halberd?

>>137337707
giving them party skills doesn't affect anything, only heroes are affected by party skills

>>137337897
I just changed all lancers to 30 charisma, and gave them some skills, let's see how it turns out. If it doesn't work I'll go for party skills too.

>>137337460
i'm pretty sure it's 1 to 1
ie level is 25, so you have 25 attribute and skill points to distribute
7 str, 5 agi, 4 int, and 4 char is base attributes, so if the char was 25 you could add 25 points to those
so maybe 27 str, 10 agi, 4 int, 4 char for a top tier npc
you can use int and char as dump stats too for balance

>>137337707
it should stop the random skill distribution as well as the attribute distribution
random attributes are leveled up when the total attribute count of the troop is less than the default attributes + the level of the troop
when the troop levels up INT, they will get skill points to spend which they will put on random skills

if you increase their CHA attribute high enough they won't have any spare attribute points which means they can't level up INT which means they won't randomly level skills

>>137337976
It's 20 + level for the stats, but the skills seem pretty random. You'd have to just check the totals of the troops in-game, I have no idea if there's a formula for it.

>>137337859
They don't actually exist in unmodified Warsword. Not real ones, anyway.

>>137338080
20 + level for the attributes*

Giving lancers 30 charisma and 9 inventory management and 9 trade seems to have worked, they have consistent skills now. I'll use that as a solution if I come across the same problem with other troops.

actually i'm pretty sure it is 1 to 1, pic related
>base is 7, 5, 4, 4
>has 7, 5, 6, 6
also the skills filled out are the default skills filled out on every troop, but i imagine if i set them all to 0 then he'll get 4 random skillpoints, i'll test this in a sec

Well.... For some fucking reason now entirely different troops which I didn't do anything to, have lower or higher ''value'' now and have moved up/down on the tier scale completely at random, after my changes to the Lancers.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS GAME

>>137338486
skills are randomized every time you make a new game

>>137338549
I made another new game and it was the same, same troops that moved up/down on tier scale have moved up/down the same after creating a new game entirely.
