1st for posting the thread too early
When do you think warsword is getting released, /mbg/?
>>137525843
Never.
we're using this thread right
Will we have a defensive spear/xbow oriented faction or swadia faggots are still scared of Rhodok?
>>137525843
Eventually. At least I want it to be released.
I'm posting Cao Cao in honour of the poster who was posting in honour of the original Cao Cao poster until we get a good Romance of the three kingdoms mod.

the empress is no lesbian! besides Nizar would never hurt the queen like that. and even if he did it would make for a neat story. Empress marries her black lover for that glorious bbc and romantic virtues. nignog gets greedy and takes half her lands, while remaining married. an epic civil war that spans calradia all over a marital dispute.when their armies clash, the night before the battle they sneak into eachothers battle tents and fuck
could this be a possible scenario in nilla warband? if not, mod when?
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.
Anyone have a torrent for 1257?
I don't want to waste an hour downloading it from Moddb at 50kb/s
Is there any advantage to holding a lance with two hands instead of couching it under your arm? Will we be able to fight with this style in Bannerlord?

It would be most useful when taking out routing enemies (as you can just ride up to them and relatively accurately stab them in the back while they're running away without risking damage to your lance) or picking off the sides of a formation too dense or well protected to risk charging.
dead
>>137535272
I imagine that wielding the lance with two hands instead of one also adds additional bracing to the spear - you can probably achieve a somewhat similar effect to a couched lance by holding the spear in front of you that way
>>137526414
You're the hero we need.
>>137535442
I'm not sure on that. When you give point, you're actually supposed to go slack right before hitting, since being tense could be very damaging for your wrist if you're in any position but a couched one.
I'm certain it could help with accuracy, so using it like that for a charge would make sense in that regard (provided you go slack at the right moment), but you don't brace a lance unless you intend to break it, since that puts a lot of stress on it. Its also needlessly risky.
Are there any mods with working field cannons?
>>137531382
iirc couching wasn't done till around hastings, but when they held the spear with two hands like that i'm pretty sure it was for stabbing off horseback since you can stab much more accurately, faster, and more powerful than with one hand
>kingdom has been at peace for weeks now
I'm making mad cash from searching for tournaments but fuck
The companion's performance with crossbows has sold me on the idea of making Siege Crossbows standard equipment for them but I'm less confident in what I want their melee to be.
For now they're getting Great Bardiches but I suspect they're only getting away with that because bandits have terrible archers. I don't know enough about how the AI will handle things to know what weapon to pair with the shield.
I doubt any good 1h axes or hammers have enough reach to be effective when I want them to be cavalry; though Mornignstars might be long enough and I may be underestimating the Fighting Axe.
I likewise have doubts about their effectiveness with a shield and lance, even a Double Sided Lance, on foot.
I'm pretty confident they could do well with Elite Scimitars but that's the bland option.
Alternatively, if:
>I'm mistaken about how important a shield will be when they're acting as cavalry or engaged in melee while under fire from good archers
>I find an extra bag of bolts to be mostly useless
>The AI could manage it with minimal babysitting
Then I figure a Great Hammer and a decent lance would make them rude in all situations.
I'll have an opportunity to test out most of this myself at some point but input would be appreciated.
>>137538146
it's better to give companions a 1h weapon with shield if you want them to survive in melee the longest
>>137538146
give companions great hammers or 2h swords so they can make a breach in the walls that everyone else can follow

Sonadel a cute.
Why not make the lore of Calradia more extensive in Bannerlord? It would help and be fun to write I bet, make some phrases from pseudo Aristoteles, or whatever are the authors of some of the books, maybe find a relief of Alixenus the Great conquests in a imperial town.
Create some religions, without go in too deep, just some ambiguous lines that would even help the characters gain some more life.

I've played Solid & Shade and 1866 and really liked them both. They were the only mods that made me feel like I was discovering something, like the mods had so much to offer if I just put some time into them. Why is it that so few warband mods give you the same feeling now?

Despite the fact that we're vastly numerically superior to the Transylvanians, and that our enemies are just inbred mountain-Romanians, it seems like my fellow general just decided to ride up to Belgrade, fuck around, and individually attack all the enemies at once.

does warwolf have more or less cities than 1257
>>137542982
PoP actually had quotes around it.
So what mods do you recommend?
>>137558313
More in total, though perhaps not as many in Europe as 1257 has. It's kind of hard for me to compare, since I haven't played 1257 in a really long time. There's also no villages in Warwolf.
Warwolf's map spans the entire world, and I think the total number of possible cities is over 800.
>>137559030
i think 1257 has like over 100 towns, but it also has villages and castles which i know warwolf doesn't have
>>137559598
There's some achievement that says there's about 200 cities in Europe, but I also know that the number isn't functioning as it should. And I can't be bothered to count.
But let's assume that's correct, and that there's around 200 cities in whatever Feodor defines as Europe.

>he hasn't played 1866
come on son
but really it isn't that different from native warband besides guns and more quests
a lot of fun though
>>137563769
Unique quests, special weapons gained only through doing quests for faction leaders, hidden locations, houses you could own, bounty quests that weren't terrible, etc.
>>137559030
that armor and helmet combination is triggering me hard
>>137561397
I think the problem is that when people experiment with something new, it falls flat. Player kingdoms contribute, but (to take example from Solid&Shade) a fleshed out necrourgy system would feel different.
Pike&Shot mods feel different from the regular game as well, though less often different from each other due to using similar mechanics.
I think the major issue here is the standardization of modding features. Think of the various things that are just expected; the OSP gives a lot of new resources to work with, so if they fit that's one less thing the modder has to do. PBOD or a personal variation in it is included in most major mods, and for good reason. But the more features that mods share, the less unique they are.
The biggest factor, in my opinion, is the taste of the creative community. You have people who like the basic feudal military where heavy cavalry is king and work with that (Perisno, POP, etc.), and then you have Pike&Shot (which is fairly popular right now in general). You also have some interested in greek or roman warfare, but they try to model the time period.
The overall thing is that people are trying to build it around a military theme. It doesn't take long to get used to the new units. Unique mods are more about finding a different way to play the game than it is making a new setting.
For instance; a Geko submod taking place post unification. Though technically possible, taking over from the Shogunate would be incredibly difficult. So focus around being a small group of wandering ronin fighting bandits to pay for food, or being a ninja and light cities on fire for money. Maybe even be a metsuke and hunt down dissidents. Rework the bounty missions to something new and interesting. Don't put the focus on the military, put the focus on the character. Do that, you get something different.
>>137564268
I'm so sorry, Anon.
Is this better?
>>137565198
I think the real problem is that everyone with a lot of talent never actually finishes their mods, or spends all of it on multiplayer mods that nobody plays
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmQoxL5YbcU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKheZ2_Ybew
video related, it's Battle of Europe, complex weather effects for a multiplayer mod that 0 people play
>>137565198
>Pike&Shot mods feel different from the regular game as well
it's good you brought this up
i don't think people understand that having a specific setting can make the game more interesting because of the limited amount of gear that's available, so you really have to make each weapon feel a lot more different than the others
which is why mods like floris are so boring, because they have equipment from all over the place but nothing feels any different
>>137565720
Well, the multiplayer thing indicates a focus entirely on the military, which is an aspect I mentioned before; they either enjoy working on textures/units far more than anything else, or they don't have enough skill in anything else. Hence, if they switched over to campaign modding, it would probably be native+PBOD with a new setting and a relatively indepth unit system. Good things, sure, but it would feel very similar to native after a while, and we'd be right back at square one.
>>137566028
I was actually just referring to how the battles tend to become far more speedy and less slugfests that you can't move around in.
Good P&S mods tend to have fairly high damage compared to their defense, so its not that the weapons feel different so much as it is that the flow of combat feels different. You can achieve the same effect in a feudal combat mods by either gimping defense or buffing damage or both.
>>137566341
well that's just balance
and it seems like a lot of mod authors don't really do anything about balance, which is terrible since it's such an important part of gameplay
but i've noticed mods that are set in specific time periods tend to focus on balancing changes a lot more than fantasy mods or native+ mods
>>137566473
Which part? There were two sections, and I have two different answers depending on which one you responded to.
>>137566583
bottom one, forgot to quote
also geko takes out shields which is pretty significant in terms of how the gameplay is changed, which is another example of how the limitations of a setting can make for much more interesting gameplay
>tfw my most memorable scenes of m&b is me playing tweakedFlorisand killing thousands of bandits
Also longass sieges with thousands from both sides. The closest I reached in other mods was in 1257 against 300+ peasants and those band of 160+ armored bandits.
>>137566473
>specific time periods tend to focus on balancing changes a lot more than fantasy mods or native+ mods
That's because they have historical sources to draw from. Fantasy and native+ are both themed and make heavily different armies for different, which were something of a rarity historically. While big empires had that issue, smaller kingdoms typically found themselves with a very similar army to their neighbors, which is something that non historical setting mods often lack.
So in a fantasy mod, you don't have armies which are generally the same except that one has an extra tier for heavy cavalry and one has an extra tier for spearmen, etc., but you get the horse archer faction, the heavy cavalry faction, the heavy infantry faction, the gun faction, etc.
This means that the deciding factor is usually how the settings favour equipment. TEATRC, for instance, tended to result in the Reich (or whatever its actual name was) completely dominating on the field because its guns fucked everyone in the ass. Or in the case of most feudal type mods, the heavy cavalry faction being hilariously OP.
Historical instances of completely different armies facing each other is exceptional, and for good reason; you spend long enough being neighbors with someone, you'll pick up some of their habits.
>>137566870
I wouldn't say its balance in the typical sense of trying to make the different factions competitive. While that's obviously a good idea, its not necessary for achieving something that feels like P&S within the limits of warband.
Though I do agree with you on shields.
>>137567393
i don't think it's excusable for them to be so lazy about it though
>>137567804
Its not, but I'm not excusing them, I'm explaining them.
Besides; like I said earlier; I'd like to see a mod where the focus is away from the military which isn't a reckoning level piece of shit.
>>137567986
>I'd like to see a mod where the focus is away from the military
why not just play a grand strategy game
>>137567986
thing is even if it is a small scale mod that focuses more on quests, equipment balance is still vitally important
it's one of the reasons why i don't bother playing floris or florislikes because i end up going "i've played this before"
>>137568085
First, I do. A lot. Second, wrong direction. I wanna go small, not big. Its pretty well set up for playing a little guy in a big world, its just not something that gets taken advantage of in a lot of mods.
>>137568192
I'll grant that. I don't think its as big of an issue as you seem to think it is, but I suspect its just a different focus between us.
>>137568449
>I don't think its as big of an issue as you seem to think it is

>>137568576
You'd be going against AI, so unless you intentionally exploit it, it would be largely tolerable so long as its not POP levels of imbalance.
>>137568793
>You'd be going against AI
that doesn't change how the weapon handles
and the funny thing about
>AI
is that the AI is better than a significant chunk of players, at least from what you see in MP
there are some real shitters in NW
>>137568958
Having a terribly internet, I wouldn't know about the relative skill of players. I always assumed I was kind of shit, but I can work well enough with the AI even with shit equipment.
As for how the weapon handles... I've never really had a problem with that. At least, nothing that couldn't be traced to the warband engine.

Thank you.
At any rate; if it keeps out the people who can't keep up with AI, I'm all for a bit of shit balance.
honestly the thing that bothers me the most about mods is that when they tack shit onto native they don't bother to fix any of the bugs and annoying shit from the original game
gets old seeing literally every mod have the same bugs
>>137569470
>I'm all for a bit of shit balance.
good balance doesn't mean the game is easier (at least to me anyway, maybe the concept of good balance vs bad balance is subjective i dunno) it just means the equipment is balanced in such a way that each item fills a certain niche, or it has multiple niches but suffers for it
and these niches are well defined by the effects of the weapon or how it handles, rather than in native or floris/florislikes where most weapons are practically identical in their statistics and handling
>>137566870
Geko makes the PC as a horse archer way too powerful (and archers in general, really). I'm not sure how accurate that is with japanese warfare (it was pretty heavy on the archery as far as I know), but it feels... unbalanced (like a lot of stuff on M&B, really)
everytime i play a mod based on native and i catch a lord raiding a village and get no loot after i win the battle it's actually just so infuriating
it's been literally 8 years since that bug has been present in Mount&Blade how do you not fix that
>>137569994
you could always nerf bows
bows can be more accurate than guns but only have a fraction of the potential power
early firearms weren't that accurate (though in a lot of settings it's kinda over-exaggerated) and were slow to reload, but they did serious damage
>>137569994
Not just the PC, mind you. I had 50+ long range troops, mixed between archers and firearms, and it was delicious to tell them all to fire at the same time and see the immediate results, I'll tell you this.
>>137570053
my opinion on why so many mods suck is that it's far easier to release a mod that's just a compilation of code and assets that other people made
modders that don't have the ability to code won't be able to fix glaring bugs or add unique interesting features, and modders that don't have the ability to create their own assets won't be able to create a consistent style that doesn't look like the vomit of 100 different people's shit
all the people who actually have the talent to do the above though are generally more interested modding for the sake of it rather than creating a playable mod, and generally don't have the time to make a complete mod
>>137570176
The problem with early firearms is that they were very accurate at relatively close range and completely inaccurate at far range, and the engine can't model this. So firearms in game either can't be used at the range they should be, or can be used at ranges they shouldn't.
>>137570490
I think that a way to fix this would be to change the air friction value for bullets in module.ini so that the damage drops off rapidly if you try to snipe people from a long range
since you can't have bullets get blown off course at a long distance it's a better compromise since it means you will do 0 damage if you don't shoot at the appropriate distance, and you'll still be super accurate up-close
>>137570490
> is that they were very accurate at relatively close range and completely inaccurate at far range
well the closer they are the easier they are to hit
but the reason why it won't work how it does irl is because once the projectile fires and goes on its path, it only descends (depending on the missile speed will depend on the distance it can travel before descending)
so it sort of can but sort of can't
but i would say the bows in geko need a bit of nerfing, and the script the author did for the ranged weapons they get is pretty dumb
Gekonewer has felt pretty balanced so far.
Even with the nanban, who are glass cannons at the lower levels, and a pain in the ass to get up to max tiers.
>>137571080
>well the closer they are the easier they are to hit
Has nothing to do with what I meant.
By 'accuracy' I mean if you set it up in a rig which fires it from the same spot with a functionally identical ball with the same amount and type of powder, spread will drastically increase at larger distances in amounts that can't be attributed to initial variances and are due to the ball tumbling, which results in far range inaccuracy. If it were entirely due to aiming issues, the Caroleans would have been fucking worthless.
>>137571768
i was talking in warband mechanics
due to how spread works in the game
>>137568720
Pretty good! Got a whole lot done with equipment management on Saturday, but spent most of Sunday too hungover to code.
>>137571768
basically the problem with warband's shitty ranged method is that they have a linear cone based system whereas a funnel shape that starts off accurate but starts getting more inaccurate at farther distances at a non-linear rate would be far more ideal
Has anyone done a playthrough where they didn't join any factions?
I'm playing right now and I have an army of Khergit troops, and I'm just riding around looting villages and attacking Lords and it's actually so much fun.
I never do Sieges so I never suffer from having 100% Cavalry and I'm so strong in the field.
>>137572725
in case lust is reading, i fucking hope the way ranged spread is modeled isn't the same dated cone-based algorithm in bannerlord
accuracy should follow a gabriel's horn type shape where it is perfectly accurate within a certain distance before rapidly spreading
>>137573370
in addition, I hope that archers will be able to arc their arrows at a 45 or greater degree angle to either reach maximal distances or to shoot over a row of infantry that are in front of them
>>137574010
it would be good if projectile arcing like that came into play
since that actually works well with bows, slings, and throwing weapons but it doesn't work for crossbows or firearms
it'd make a more interesting dynamic because crossbows would be useful in some situations but not others, same with bows
What are some good multiplayer mods that a lot of people play? Preferably ones that don't require Napoleonic Wars.
>>137574109
it sucks cause in warband it's coded that the arrow projectile will disappear if it's in the air too long, and it just so happens that if you try to arc an arrow in the game your projectile will actually not even touch the ground
>>137574440
Fucking what? I actually wanted to try to make a mod where archers in a siege defence stay behind the wall and volley over it, but I guess that's just not possible.
>>137574440
really? or is it just because it hits the skybox?
>>137574914
it wouldn't be possible anyways cause as far as i know there's no practical way to alter how or what the AI aims at
>>137574939
disappears, you can try it yourself by shooting upwards as high as you can
>>137575717
yeah i thought so, 1257 has a script on all the ammo of ranged weapons which gives you the distance report of how far the projectile went (same one they use on the targets in the tutorial) and it doesn't report a distance if you shoot straight up
pretty lame, and it isn't because projectiles can't fall back down because if you set the missile speed lower then the arc is much more significant over shorter distances
So this is right after entering the game. This Swadian lord has Swadian Hunters in his army, which is not something I've put in any of the party templates. But he doesn't have any Swadian Lancers, which I have put in the first party template from which the Lords are supposed to have a 60% chance to recruit from.
It's the same story with other Swadian lords, they all have hunters but none have Lancers. Why is this? Do lords recruit from a pool of troops besides the party templates? If yes, how do I change that?
>>137578951
You could look for clues in module_scripts.py in the source files for any version, or even the Native module system.
>>137578951
>Swadian Lancers, which I have put in the first party template from which the Lords are supposed to have a 60% chance to recruit from
Why would you do this when garrisons get troops from that template as well? Why wouldn't you put them in the third one?
1550 (Rhodoks, Me) Vs 1950 (Sarranids)
Floris Evolved Mod.
It's been two hours, I've been knocked out yet the battle rages on Rhodoks strong on their hill and Sarranids can't get them down.
>>137579385
I will balance things out like that later. I'm currently just trying to get an idea of how this shit works.
>>137579173
>You could look for clues in module_scripts.py in the source files for any version, or even the Native module system.
The source files for this version of Silverstag hasn't been released.
>>137581916
Read it again, slowly.
>>137582394
Ok daddy
Looking at 0.27.3 source files then, afaik there aren't any troop changes planned so there shouldn't be any difference.
Well, I have no idea what to look for.
Could this have something to do with what I'm looking for?
Maybe this is causing them to fill remaining troop slots with cheap troops, hence the Swadian Hunters despite not being in the party templates?
>>137569994
You could always set all the bows to cutting damage
>>137583372
None of the part of the script shown adds anything to the party.
>>137583993
I'm sorry I don't know this shit. I can only play around in Mogh's Editor.
Anyways, I wouldn't be able to change it anyways, I'll just have to make sure the lords and garrisons recruit good armies through the party templates.
>>137584245
Not him but just do like I do lad. Learn c# and wait for Bannerlord
I'm considering between two approaches to garrison and party reinforcments, one is forcing them to basically recruit every type of troop available to that faction in equal numbers everywhere, so as to let the strengths and weaknesses of the troops speak for themselves in battle. Or to include/exclude certain troops from garrisons, and increase the amount of reinforcments for some troops and decrease for others, according to faction, so for example more archers less infantry for Vaegirs, more cavalry less infantry for Swadians, less infantry more horse archers for Khergits, etc. .
What do you guys think I should do?
>>137585116
I've spent the past three days balancing Silverstag troops, currently working on party templates, primarily for myself because I've always felt that the weakest point about Silverstag was the fact that it was horribly unbalanced. And I'll upload it so you guys can play it too.
Alright, something I was suspecting for a while was just confirmed true.
So basically instead of just focusing on the J-K-L party templates (meant for very hard) and entering the game to see my changes on very hard, I made all the party templates the same, and now that I enter the game, on very hard, for the first time all the lords from all the factions are recruiting correctly.
It would seem that the Silverstag devs attempts at changing which party templates are recruited from depending on mod difficulty isn't working out too well.
what do you guys listen to until the release of bannerlord?

>>137585134

So a nice big Swadian rape train, very balanced.
>>137586932
I'm open for suggestions. I realize what you mentioned can be a problem with the Khergits aswell, they have really good troops
I'm like I said earlier leaning towards all factions recruiting an equal number of their various troops, so as to let the troops speak for themselves rather than giving Swadians and Khergits more cav, Rhodoks and Vaegir more crossbowmen/archers, Nords more infantry and Sarranids more... everything?

Once home to a great kingdom, Calardia has fallen after decades of internal strife and is now under the threat of invasion by two powerful forces: On the west, the warlike nordsmen have occupied the border town of veluga, whereas on the east, Khergits, a nomad people from the steppes pillage the land with their incessant raids. But nowadays people talk of a new, darker threat. It is said that in many villages, common men turn into monsters and even that the dead rise from their graves to punish the living.

>In the year of 1352, the Land of Calradia was divided between two rival kindoms. In the west, the once all-powerful kingdom of Swadia had lost most of its former glory but remained a formidable power with its heavy knights. But the eastern lands had been recently lost to the rebeling Vaegir nobles who united under. Having gained their independence, the Vaegirs were quick to take the offensive and set off to conquer their former masters. But Swadian King Larec was now fighting in friendly soil. Soon the war degenerated into a series of skirmishes and raids devastating the countryside. It was a time of suffering and pain. Farms were burnt, villages were destroyed, thousands were killed and enslaved on both sides. But it was also a time of opportunity for some. Mercenaries and adventurers flooded into the land looking for fortune, fame and glory. But these newcomers would find war to be a harsh master.

hey did you seen the warband weapons too? they're literally swords! liek whadafuk tailworlds!?!?

I don't want to change the base gameplay, but I'm sick of the redundant music, sounds and battle field textures.
>>137599290
Ah yes, that's exactly why Warband is dead, Vanilla is just better :^)
>vanilla m&b had better mods
Did someone invite that TW forums guy to /mbg/?
>>137599814
it's no wonder that the mods are worse for warband considering that warband's existence itself was an exercise of the ultimate 'uncreativity' possible by just upgrading the graphics engine and adding an uninspired multiplayer mode
the singleplayer core of the game just had 1 faction tacked on to it with some unpolished kingdom management that had already been implemented in dozens of 1.011 mods. what's worse is that in the process of working on the warband singleplayer they broke a whole bunch of features from the original game that were working and never bothered to fix them
1.011 is obviously "dead" because it's really old and most of the new players that came during warband literally have no taste

If you want a stronger starting fief, wait until somebody takes a town and then take that, they are usually not very defended after changing sides
>>137600304
They were on the same ground back when Warband was released, though. If Vanilla was truly better then Warband would be a dead DLC; however, it was due to Warband being a really good game that not only people played it more but TW also focused more on updates regarding Warband to the point they mention more features from Warband, when talking about what changed to Bannerlord, than from vanilla. Do you see people talking often about WFaS?
>>137599814
It's not that I don't acknowledge that overall warband is superior, it's just that it has several aspects that are actually worse than the original game and its beta versions. Aside from horse archer AI though, all of them can be fixed by modding so it's not a big deal.
I'm not some sperg running purely on nostalgia I swear, I just don't agree that everything in warband is an improvement
>>137602968
well yea warband is beyond a doubt better overall, it's got multiplayer and far superior graphics, which has a lot of mainstream appeal
the singleplayer also has marriage and player kingdoms but i'd argue that all the campaign innovations were already done in earlier mods, and far more extensively.
obviously 90% of players don't play mods though.

I really hope we get to see some sieges for BL soon. Blobs of bots on the field I can live with since most irl battles probably devolved into that until pike Era.
But sieges ? Fuck I'll be real mad if we can't tell our soldiers to hold a specific position and take cover
I hate how in Warband the archers and infantry when on the defense form a big blob on the wall and are incapable of doing much
>>137606030
>infantry fights devolve into blobs
well, iirc actually it involved infantry in the front lines taking turns skirmishing and fighting and then rotating back to let a new group of infantry do some fighting, repeat until one side gets routed
Why do the cavalry units in Silverstag not always spawn with both their lances and swords, sometimes only with either? Is there a way to force them to spawn with both? It's kinda impossible to balance if they won't have both.

Well I suck at modding so I probably wouldn't be able to do it, but do tell anyways in the odd chance that I can.
>>137607507
on game initialization, run a python script that flags all items with itp_couchable as lances using item slots. this will allow the game to be able to detect if a weapon is a lance or not
in the mission template for the battle, add a trigger that runs on agent spawn that detects searches the mounted troop's 4 weapon slots for a lance and a sidearm, if they don't have one of the two, then add it to the agent's inventory and force them to equip it

Is there a good western mod for Warband? I saw 1866 mentioned earlier in the thread. Is 1860's Old America the same thing?
>>137615682
Eh, if you like a game with spelling mistakes all over the place, sometimes glitching guns and so on, go ahead
>>137612735
yeah
>>137615682
1866 is for original M&B and it's very good
1860s for warband is a pile of shit
Does the quality of soldieres matter in non-player battles?
Is there difference between having 50 huscarls in castle or having 50 footmen?
>>137609209
Does this work with Warband or nah?
>>137616883
There is a difference but it is a rather small difference.
You could try it yourself by autocalc battles with full huscalrs armies
>>137614172
>Rhodok Sharpshooters

>>137615682
1866 is pretty good, innovative as well.

its just 3 or 4 faggot circling around a meme. They're by far one of the best faction since they require other tactics than F1 F3
>>137621060
Yeah, they only require F1.
>>137551213
what is that, ive never seen this view of the map. it would be useful to have something like this in regular warband so you can get the army in formation before the battle starts.

Forgot how silly and fun this mod was. Always makes me laugh when mid battle the guy next to you takes a rifle to the face after an enemy throws it like a javelin.
Out of the unfinished mods that I wish could have at least one more upgrade, this and 1886 are two of the tops.

>>137632352

Sort of a strange question, but are there any 'bossfights' in Warband? I mean, obviously there aren't any in Native (Closest thing would be lords but they're not that hard to beat), but are there in any mods?
>>137632505
if you can count some of the story stuff in VC
>>137632505
Prophesy of Pendor has armies of like 400+ of really tough units that spawn later into the game if that's what you mean.
>>137632352
Not him nor on the same subjects but I can't wait for the first guys in MP to shed highly salinated tears on the forums about the new animations in BL because they're "shit unlike warband who was perfect REEE"
>>137632505
Duels against lords could in some way be considered boss fights, but the AI of most mods is to dumb to make it more interesting than regular fights.
Viking Conquest's Storyline Mode has certain duels and scripted battles that can be considered boss fights where you will die if you're not prepared enough for them, but the AI is still pretty dumb.
>>137633334
>>137633375
Didn't mean armies, but 1v1 or army-leading units that are hard to kill or even distinguishable from the rest of elite soldiers.
I think there were some in ACOK but that's all I ran into.
I think I'm about to give up on a campaign because I'm so bored. We've been at peace for weeks now. This happened just as I finished the initial process of getting some income, equipment and decent troops, too, which is frustrating. I hope Bannerlord has a setting where you can start a game in charge of a faction - I don't mind the build up every now and then, but I've done it probably over a hundred times at this point and it's really boring when it lacks a payoff
>>137633334
they're lead by some boss like motherfuckers too
>>137633585
Warband it's not exactly Dark Souls.
You're gonna have to wait until Bannerlord for mods like that.
>>137633585
>army-leading units
>>137633878
this kinda works I think? Numerous guys like this, with unique looks and backstories all leading great armies around
>>137633585
warsword and TLD have special units like trolls which are bretty fun to take down.

It works better in Gekokujo from my personal experience
>>137639338
It's a mystery
>>137639338
because it's different from regular warband
and if you play a mod with a lot of factions you're more likely to go to war instead of pissing around fighting bandits
Any of you familiar with WRECK? I like the compiler and was thinking of converting a bunch of stuff to plugins for it, but its injection method seems really limited. Is the only way to inject seriously to put inject('whatevs'), in the actual modsys files? And can it not overwrite blocks of code with its own? Because if not, that seriously fucks up user-friendliness for installs

>>137639338
The Silverstag Oathbound improves over Freelancer dramatically.
It basically changes so that you work for a lord as a companion rather than a regular soldier.
You can both fight in battles and do quests for them to rise your reliability reputation within a kingdom and your relationship with a lord, rising in ranks until you can eventually become knighted and gain your own banner and the possibility of becoming a lord for that faction. Your income of your oathbound will depend on how high in ranks are you with that faction, your personal relationship with the lord and the level and abilities of your own companions in your party.
It's basically a combination of the mercenary contract and the freelancer system, but it also gives you SIlverstag emblems you can use to improve your skills and attributes, among other things.Too bad everyone seems to be hating on Silverstag for some reason. I've never encountered the bugs many people say to have.

There's 1 guy who makes like 10% of the general's posts about how Silverstag is unbalanced and he's trying to fix it and then there's the guy who needs his daily whine about how there are no good mods and everything was better in old versions, but it's totally not nostalgia goggles. There's still plenty of us that love Silverstag.

>>137645061
Thanks 4chan, if not for you id be happy and succesful but atleast ive got shit like this to keep me warm
>>137639338
I like it when starting a campaign. If it depended on me, I'd be running around in rags looking for looters for hours. Joining an army I get to see some large battles from the small guy perspective, meet the faction's (and their enemy's) higher tier troops, get equipped for a while (I usually like to equip myself like the high tier troops of my faction, so it gives me a feel if I'm at the right place and shit) and gather some money to kickstart my personal adventure later on as a mercenary. It can be boring if nothing happens, but it's about finding a decently sized (not too big, not to small) lord to serve. I don't do this for very long, though. I just find it to be a more entertaining early game than... pretty much anything else.
>>137630976
Mod?
>>137646127
PooP
>>137646161
Thanks
>>137641656
It's first and foremost an advanced compiler - it's faster than the native one, doesn't rely on process_x.py files, and catches more errors/potential problems.
But you can also integrate it into the entire modsystem, so that you no longer need ID_x.py files either - it creates dynamic references that can be referenced from anywhere instead of static constants (for instance, you can call trp.swadian_footman instead of trp_swadian_footman, and you no longer need to import header/id_troops).
It can be extended with plugins, which would serve as a (neater, cleaner) replacement for modmerger, except I'm not sure about the stuff I mentioned above (the injection/overwriting functionality), because the documentation is good but very basic.
>>137647795
For instance, this is Native wreck-ified, with a few extra plugins I converted. Many less files/clutter to deal with. It takes about 1.5 seconds to compile, too.
>>137648598
well, two of the plugins (ms_extension and presentations) come with it, but the other two i did
>>137642636
i've thought about trying silverstag, but it seems sorta like another floris
>>137649164
it is
i wish they'd do these gameplay changes in just native or something, they always do shitty troop trees and a bunch of items thrown in
Holy shit the comments on the warsword conquest Moddb page.
Why are people such rabid fan boys, it devs are stupid for saying hyping up the imminent release since last november.
They were saying it will 100% be out by December, shit total warhammer will be out sooner.
>>137649164
It's not.
Floris is a compilation of other mods set in the Native setting.
Silverstag is a combination of several entirely new gameplay features with addition from other mods set in the native setting.
They're quite different.

>Are you the anon with the VC submod?

>Did you gave enemy/allied ships the option to use the white sail intended for custom textures?
no, i think the VC devteam did that

This is what the warsword page has devolved too
Vaegir troop tree is going to be a mess, but it's going to be balanced. By a mess I mean that in all other factions, the troops are listed from lowest tier to highest. Towards the end of the Vaegir troop tree, there's going to be some higher or lower than eachother in the wrong ''position'', but it won't confuse the player when purchasing, and it won't affect the AI reinforcments either, and it'll be more balanced this way.

A quick mish mash Warband Bannerlord mod, when?
Anyone familiar with Silverstag knows what determines what recruit type a unit requires? Is it purely based on tier placement, or do I have to play around with some other files? I'm trying to bump the Vaegir Cavalry Captain up to tier 5-6-7 instead of 4-5-6, because it allows surrounding troops to deal more damage and to heal, and having such a troop require a peasant recruit makes the tier 4 cavalry unit of the Vaegirs obselete.
>>137692871
Or in other words, I want to make the Vaegir Cavalry Captain require a Veteran recruit.
>>137692871
You would need to change it in the module system just like the abilities.
>>137693526
Okay, there's something I still don't understand about that.
I only know how to do shit in Morgh's Editor, but I did download this Python 2.7 thing and got it to work, I can view source files for Silverstag 0.27.3 (Unreleased version), I'm currently working on 0.27.2. I don't have source files for 0.27.2, is there no way for me to edit that then?

I have a few questions regarding Firearms in Warsword Conquest. Does Horse Archery affect them while mounted? And what's the best one for the player character?

>Durrin Castle
What the actual fuck?

Does anybody play Anglo-Zulu mod anymore?
I haven't seen any active servers lately
>>137720327
if you're really really stuck superior numbers (not necessarily quality) + autocalc may do the trick
>>137630976
How do you do the signal of the cross?
>>137719982
Silverstag
I think if I turn off skirmishing option for archers, that retarded fleeing from any danger by just turning around and running will cease. That should result in better behaviour.
>>137723552
>>137702103
Are you using Formations but with Native AI?
Just use Formations AI, otherwise the enemy behaves oddly.
>>137723820
yep. skirmishing is a no-no if you dont want your archers to get cutdown from behind whilst escaping.
>>137723820
Skirmishing would be more interesting if, rather than just run away, they all aimed fire at whatever troop(s) crossed a threshold (let's say 20 meters for the sake of the example) while walking backwards, and if anyone made it to melee range to any archer, everyone swaps weapons and gang rape the fag(s), then swap back to their ranged weapons.
So what are the best difficulty settings to play on?

Silverstag. Some problems with certain troops, party reinforcments and Vaegirs completely shit, been spending some time fixing to the best of my ability.
So I'm currently rocking Age of Caldria Enhanced, having a good time, it feels very close to Native but with more stuff. What is everyone else rocking?
What would you say if I told youI play with Autoblock on?

What's the default difficulty? What's the highest difficulty you can turn on?What's the difficulty you play on? Do you think it's the optimal choice?
>>137741387
everything at easiest
>>137741387
literally ctrl-f
>>137741387
>What's the default difficulty?
pretty sure by default the game puts the easiest settings on
>What's the highest difficulty you can turn on?
do you mean the percentage? there isn't a cap since battle size affects difficulty rating
>What's the difficulty you play on?
hardest everything but battlesize i change depending on mods since some are much better optimized than others
>Do you think it's the optimal choice?
it could be harder
>>137738789
debatable
So if Araby is causing problems why don't those autistic retards just not add them until they can fix it?
>>137743428
Because they were already in the previous version and I guess removing factions must be bad or something, even though nobody gives a fuck about Araby in the first place.
>>137743428
because they're autistic retards

Does that mean we might get a changing seasons mod for warband?
>>137745903
>tfw this nigga thinks seasons before boats
>>137684753
Its not that bad, but you need to really push it with the low bonuses it gives to get any real use from it. So that means a lot of investment for a mediocre benefit.
Its less that its terrible, so much as there are a lot better things to invest in.
Though if you're going as a solo character without any conquest stuff, just fucking up small parties everywhere or being a freelancer or something like that, its pretty decent.
>>137746325
I've got my mind in what's really important, M'Lord.

>>137684257
Do you know in what module is Ironflesh not a complete waste of skill points?Silverstag.
Is there a mod that lets me form my own country or establish my own castles/villages/towns? I want to be king of my own region and stick it to the world.
Can't you make your own towns in 1257? How viable is it to become king of your own faction in 1257 compared with vanilla?
>>137758605
also custom commander, as it also mitigates damage
I always put some points into Ironflesh because i play Mount and Blade as an RPG and not Diablo 2 where you just minmax builds.
>>137758605
even in vanilla it's not bad if you're already doing a STR build. +20HP is k
>>137758954
>+20HP is k
not when it takes 10 skill points that would be way better spent somewhere else
you already get enough HP just from raising STR that high anyway
Alright guys, I'm done fooling around with Morgh's going through every single item and troop in the game. I'm uploading my modified Silverstag to Mega now
>>137759397
you tend to have more skillpoints than you need anyway

Only 12% uploaded so far.
Meanwhile I'm enjoying my new not-worthless Vaegir troops.
>>137758954
Compare +20 HP to almost doubling melee damage though. It's just not on the same level.
>>137760072
well sure it's fine as a dumpstat but I would never suggest anyone takes it all the way to 10 unless they can actually spare the points, which I doubt
>>137761948
Yes a hardy freelancer with more brawn than brains.
so apparently some weapons actually look better in the original mount&blade.
the environment map shader that they used in mount&blade 1.011 is apparently actually broken in warband so the result looks really bad
luckily if you just drown out everything in HDR in warband the sword will just be glowing white anyways though
>>137762649
if you use the textures from 1257 for weapons2 and weapons3 it gives the swords a whiter texture with much more defined fullers
>>137762649
>using HDR
>also no AA in those screenshots
>>137762995
making the sword texture whiter directly in the diffuse texture has some bad results for different lighting conditions though, the ideal solution would be to just fix the envmap_shader that taleworlds broke when developing warband

Go ham. I'm too tired, I'll go to sleep now and upload this shit tomorrow instead.
>>137766650
What if you only upload the files you changed and not the whole mod?
>>137766902
Oh, right. So only the party templates, troops and items then.
>>137763873
>not recruiting the ghost peasants and becoming the lich king
wasted potential desu
also that fucking picture. i feel like i'm high when i look at it. are there proportions off? some look 3ft tall while others look 7ft. the guard in the back looks like a toddler. are there kids in this game or something?
>>137767163
and resources/textures if you added any items
and module.ini if you loaded in any more resource files or made changes to game mechanics (crouching)
>>137767640
I only made changes to party templates, items and troops.
>>137767526
have you heard of perspective anon?
Note that this is for Silverstag 0.27.2, the latest released version available.
The biggest change is for the Vaegir troop tree, polearms, bows, crossbows, swords and party templates. There's a readme file where I explain the changes I've made.

im about to start warband for the first time
never played these games
do you guys have any tips? and do i download any mods? i never downloaded mods
>>137774426
I have a couple physical ones. Theres a big used bookstore in portland with tons of books. Nabbed a neat book about Roman Britain for pretty cheap but I haven't gotten around to reading it. The hard part about bookstores is filtering the shitty books. There was some big Roman one that ended up being about feminism in the Roman Empire.
>>137774580
Oh damn I'm retarded. Thanks, anon.
>>137774630
how did you hear about this shitty game?
>My best buddies got kicked out of the kingdom
JUST
>>137774806
What ya talking about? Is this game not wildly popular?
I bought this game like last year winter sale, so i decided to get into it now.
>>137774630
For mods, dont expect the shitty mega links in the op to work
>>137774895
well are they "important" enough to enhance my experience to a noticeable level? or can i just play vanilla?
>>137774630
>and do i download any mods?
for your first time through just play vanilla or diplomacy if you really want a mod
>>137774739
i know http://www.kultofathena.com/books.asp has a fuckload of em, i've got one and i really liked it
and i know nowhere local is gunna sell em
>There was some big Roman one that ended up being about feminism in the Roman Empire.
what the fuck?
i'd actually recommend getting http://www.amazon.com/Weapons-International-Encyclopedia-From-5000/dp/0312039506
it's pretty good, though some of the info is outdated
>>137774630
>There are people using mods before playing the base game
>>137775127
>>137775150
alright thanks, i actually rather just play vanilla, i never played a game with mods im not used to them, i was just worried if they were very important, because i once played skyrim on my ps3 console and it was a horrible game, and people kept going >muh mods, so i was just making sure if this game was like that
>>137774630
If you absolutely want to play a mod for your first rodeo you better start with Diplomacy.
It adds some incredibly useful features to native, but you won't get to use most of them until you are already experienced in the game and have started your own kingdom.
I suggest you try play around with the difficulty settings in-game while trying out the tutorial features before starting up your first game.
>>137774892
Anon's probably only curious.
>>137775368
mods are still an important part of the warband experience and everyone should play mods at some point, it's just better to experience the vanilla game first
you're doing the right thing anon
>>137775368
Skyrim will always have shitty combat no matter how much you mod it. If the basic systems themselves are garbage, no amount of mods will fix it.
>>137775623
Actually, Requiem does a fine job of making the best out of the situation. The common complaint is not the mechanics itself, but rather that you have to swing 30 times at the same target to kill it. Requiem increases damage dealt and taken, things are over in a few hits, so it's very intense.
>>137775770
Doesn't Requiem cause massive save bloat?
>>137775623
>>137775770
Well. Requiem does more than just increase damage taken and dealt, but that's just one of the many changes it does to combat and to the game, I suggest checking it out, it's the most comprehensive mod for Skyrim and makes it immensely harder and hardcore.
>>137775901
Savescumming is the eternal enemy of Skyrim, unfortunately. You'll have to make up your own rules and restrictions. But I believe there are good mods out there you can combine with Requiem which changes how death is handled in Skyrim.
>>137775504
>>137775542

>>137775623
from what i personally remember, the combat was the least of my problems, all the generic dungeons, empty overworld which was rather annoying to traverse, not knowing what to do with all these shitty stuff you get and on, the story which was extremely boring, no consequenses of actions and on and on
>>137774197
I request some video editing wizard to replace all the snicker bars with butter bars.
>>137776006
save bloat isn't savescumming
it's when the save game file sizes get to big the game lags trying to load them
>>137776162
Dungeons were worse in oblivion and morrowind. Even fucking Trainwiz will tell you as much.

Well, started a new game with it, no red error message spam or instant combustion of my pc, I guess we're on. Will report if I find any problems.
>>137776723
Well I didn't do anything to fix those. So maybe you're just lucky. Like I said I've only done ''balance'' stuff through Morgh's.
Does anyone have a working link to download gekonewer please?

how does one git gud at multiplayer? feels like i die before i can even swing
>>137779325
The first step istaking off your trip
The path to gitting gud is paved with the blood of scrubs and several thousand hours of playtime.
This is a good starting guide to familiarize yourself with gameplay mechanics and their uses in MP:
https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=87133.0
The best advice I can give you is honestly just to keep at it, don't ragequit. The game feels like bullshit to everyone at times. Whenever you're playing SP always play on the highest difficulty settings and practice against brainy bots.
>feels like i die before i can even swing
this is a common complaint made by new players, just turn into your swing

>Made all arrows deal the same damage.
Bad change, desu. Different arrows should cause different levels of damage, even if it's not as noticeable as vanilla.
>Modified bow stats.
>Didn't switched Battle bows and War Bows/Bow of War stats.
Larger bows should be harder to wield but deal much more damage, as well as being unusable while mounted.
I didn't noticed much changes in the items used by troops, and I haven't seen them a lot in action but everything else seems to be fine.

partially
Personally I think M&B's combat is too unique and complex to just fight bots. It feels like a waste, and the combat is very satisfying when playing against human opponents because the skill ceiling is so high.
Of course there's always brainy bots, but they still feel very unnatural to fight against and it's just not the same.

You should have the dialogue option 'I would like to enlist in your army.' right as you start speaking with a lord.

Only decent ones I've played are Geko and Floris. The reest are just poorly translated versions of one clusterfuck mod as far as I can see. I haven't played Pendor or Pandor yet though.

Do explain. It's stable and adds a lot to the game. Try to reply intelligently this time, quoting two words from my last post isn't very descriptive.
>>137789970
it's a kitchen sink mod that shits on the art style and balance while adding fuckugly hodgepodge equipment and spawning the godawful trend of florislikes which are the only M&B mods that come out anymore
those animations are dogshit too

>Yo, sorry for being incommunicado for so long. But yes, development is on hold for now and no restart date is planned (but I do intend to finish 3.1 for perfectionism's sake)
Was his last post on the forums, 4 hours ago.
>thought I was over M&B
>it keeps calling me back
I never did put in that female troop tree or Oni-chan bandits...

What would you recommend I play instead?
>>137790425

Should make Oni-chan bandits recruitable at one of the neutral forts.

These Norman duck masks are funny.

SADO ISLAND might be the best bet.
Man, Kenshin must have bee spinning in his grave when the Tokugawa stole his stolen island for its gold.

Nothing.
Everything.
right the 1257 hotfix to rebalance axes is done:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/5fh1121q95u725h/1257_modded_final_hotfix.7z
>nerfed axes across the board by 6 damage
>replaced the warhammer with a more accurate weapon, the bar mace
>added a war pick, you can buy them in england specifically
>rebalanced maces a little, they generally got a buff
>changed the bardiche to a polearm due to its background
>replaced lamellar gauntlets with padded linen gloves since the gauntlets seemed inaccurate
>changed reputation gained from towns via tournaments from 1 to 10, due to the massive amount of towns this seems better, adjust with tweakmb if you wish
>assegai was changed to cutting damage since it was too good otherwise
>no flail files were updated, use the hotfix ones
>studded club and club were buffed
>small price tweaking all around, things should generally be a little cheaper
>replaced the low countries halberd with a longer glaive since the halberd head seemed too complex for the period
to the people wondering about VC: i've got it fixed but i need to include my changes that i'd made since i updated it last as i lost all of them when i updated, i should get it uploaded tomorrow
and yes, it'll be save game compatible

The only problem is I don't really have any very Oni-like races/assets tosteal
>>137795824

>replaced a redundant song with an unused song
>buffed the buckler significantly so it isn't just destroyed in one hit

Haven't played in, oh, *years* now (last time was 2013?), but I recall the fun times....
>roll up on khergit-held castle with my little troop of forty odd grogs
>lay siege
>lead an attack on the walls
>order my troops the hell out of enemy bowshot behind a hill
>take my time sniping enemy archers on the battlements
>run out of arrows
>scavenge the plentiful arrows being shot at me
>shoot them right back
>lather rinse repeat
>eventually no more enemy archers
>exhaust all the arrows I can find on other random enemy troops just standing around inside the castle
>order my troops to charge
>lead the way up the ramp
>easy victory
Another time....
>get word from a castle under siege in need of help
>like 1,600 attackers vs 275 defenders
>besieging army allows me to cross the siege line and enter the castle
>talk to the few folk huddled in the keep
>they're scared
>next day
>"i got this senpai"
>stand at the top of the ladder
>heavy plate armor
>great helm
>heavy great long axe
>overhand swings all day
>actually begin to get bored
>eventually break the siege singlehandedly
>enemy armies fuck right off
>shortly after am appointed marshal
Or that time....
>be swadian
>marry rhodok lady reada for no particular reason other than she said yes
>rhodoks declare war on swadia
>kiss wife goodbye
>ride against her people
>smash them properly
>capture most of the rhodok lords
>capture wife's father
>throw him into the dungeon of veluca which is my capital
>father-in-law in listens through dungeon wall to me bang his daughter
Or do you remember
>riding through the desert
>attacked by desert bandits
>chase those fucking horses for HOURS wtf
Why does it feel like Floris makes Rhodoks worse, not better? >:
