Man, that show was absolutely painful to watch.
Literally the only good thing going about it is the ost

>>159018134
How was it painful to watch?

Also how gay was it actually? Like from 1 to 10 with 1 being pretty much any harem series and a 10 being PMMM.

>>159018134
>Literally the only good thing going about it is the ost
Don't forget the realistic gun sounds and the ED. It's painfully mediocre, but for some reason I want to know what happens next, just because of the witch vs. the imperial machine plot (like FFVI). Its dyke-o-meter level even lost to whimsical show like Flip Flappers. They even already went the princess route, which is a guaranteed pairing. Unless Izetta gets NTR'd by the homo emperah or something, from Fine (lulz).

>>159018340
I don't really mind the gay prolly 6 or 7 on your scale but the combat was horrible. Stupid as shit clumsy witch throw her ass on tank viewports and destroy entire armies

I can't help but think this show with all the magicwanking was made as a response to Gate's gunwankery

>>159018619
>>159018653
I'm gettting conflicting feelings of how gay the show really is from these two posts.

Also bad combat sounds like a real turnoff.

so i found this game on steam when i was bored, did anybody else try it ?

basically it's a mount and blade online

>everyone controls their squad of inf/cav/range in a 5v5 match

>it's set during antiquity, so far you have the 3 kingdoms of china (i know at least one poster here is definitely into that)
>soon they release the romans and then the persians
it's rough around the edges, bugs and glitches everywhere but eh i'm having fun
anyone who played it, what did you think ? is it still fun at higher tiers ?

>>159019623
I know your not a shill because you never even said what game you are talking about.

>>159019080
Oh shit. Sorry, I just woke up. It depends on how much you can tolerate the magical aspects in it. For example, in episode 1 it's a 'Bane crashing this place' scene with lesbian magic. In episode 2, it's a dog fight between her on top of an aircraft weapon and a squadron of recon fighters. In episode 3, she flips tanks up and around the battlefield. She fired off antique late medieval iron lances she found from an old castle towards planes. Everyone sings the national anthem after the miraculous victory. Princess hugs the witch while overseeing the cheering troops. Then the King dies. It's so funny when taken out of context. The yuri stuffs are all subtexts.

are you making finnish light cavalry?

>>159031328
I think the AI bots only can use one quiver. Not sure though, surely some of the mods fags will be able to answer that better than me.
Even if it is so. Just create a new quiver with the same arrows and stats in Morgh's but with double the size and a different name and not showing up in merchant inventories and give it only to the troops you want.

>>159031358
The field battles in what was shown in Bannerlord so far seem promising. Not too hot about sieges though but I guess that's how siege melee was historically.
What is stopping us from firing onagers in the melee though

>>159031505
Nah I've been tweaking Nords' ranged troops to make them a little less shit.

its a meme because it doesn't speed you up but negates the speed malus given by heavy inventory (trade goods etc.)

but thats besides the point, why do i have to completely hold the hands of our dumbfuck vassals (some of which could be literally all over our territory and finding them would take forever and the catle would have been taken by then) instead of them realizing, oh shit, our castle is being sieged but we could easily defend it if we group up

instead of .... lets sit in town doing fuck all for 3 days

its just REALLY bad design

>>159048610
>is the ai in general in m&b warband fucking atrocious?
Yes. Get used to it. Become Marshall or King if it really pisses you off or just deal with it by yourself, because the enemy lords are every bit as stupid as your aliies.

>>159048674
Glaives more than cover the niche of two-handers. The endless barrage of crossbow bolts is all the artillery and magic you will ever need. This is even illustrated in-game, where the best method of barraging enemy fortifications is raining bolts upon them until the capitulate. At this era crossbows are frequently superior in terms of gameplay to guns due to the excessive inaccuracy early firearms tend to have as well.

The liberated men of Rhodok are by their nature assured many more heroes than the other oppressive kingdoms. It could be argued that every proud free Rhodok man is a hero.

You are also understating the implicit advantage in not being a sub-human manlet.

>>159049210

well in that case i really cannot be assed playing when the ai is this bad

>>159049007
Geko actually makes some changes to the campaign AI, but I haven't really looked at them.
Lords aren't really supposed to care about the realm though, this is Crusader Kings-type gotta-look-out-for-my-own-no-1 thinking going on.

>>159048610
The worst part is when defender reinforcements keep fleeing due to determining the total enemy troop numbers vs them (in isolation) rather than enemy troop numbers vs them + GARRISON.

If defender AI actually made a beeline to reinforce the castle walls rather than try to engage in the field or MAYBE wait until after the siege combat has begun to reinforce than Warband's siege mechanics would be much more consistent.

This is ANOTHER reason why balancing sieges on the assumption that invaders have slightly superior numbers is retarded. In reality invader AI will have at least 2 times, if not a minimum of 3 times the troops of defenders.

Siege offense should not be balanced around retarded players that insist on invading solo with a Cavalry army.

>>159049475

>Lords aren't really supposed to care about the realm though

if you speak to a vassal and ask him what hes doing, he will literally say something like 'the affairs of the realm must come first'

Playing Warband for the first time, pretty much took over everything the Khanate had. How do I deal with these assholes showing up all over the place and besieging my shit? I've got a couple vassals and given them some castles, but mostly I'm the one fighting off the enemy and I can't be at Tulga and Halmar at the same time.

Unlike artillery your crossbows won't actually outrange the enemy. Kingdom of Rhodoks' would be fucked by a faction with greater mobility, that would be able to shoot down Rhodok pikes, outrun Rhodok sergeants and run down Rhodok crossbowmen.

Just like in native, Rhodoks are only really good at hiding in castles

I don't know how this meme ever became popular considering it is observably false. Rhodok is the best siege offense AND defense faction in the game.

With any terrain difficulties they will dominate on the field as well. Higher numbers of cavalry can be handled by simply modifying the ratio of infantry/crossbowmen to compensate. 100% Infantry can handle 100% cavalry perfectly fine, although you will never fight a 100% Cavalry army (outside of Kherjits) in Native anyways.

How have the incompetent fortifications of the Nords not become a meme then?

>>159050680
That would be so if all units were top tier

The thing with rhodoks is that they are still viable in lower tier compared to other units

>>159050889
Nord recruits are pretty baller at mobbing Sea Raiders though. Tier 2 Rhodok crossbowmen are magic though, and I frequently keep my army low tier to get high renown while still outnumbering my foes.

>>159050680
The goal wouldn't be too engage in shooting matches with the Rhodok sharpshooters. Let's say the Sarranid archers shoot at the Rhodok pikemen. The Rhodok crossbowmen pull forward to shoot at them, the Sarranid archers pull back, if the crossbowmen are sufficiently exposed the cavalry would sweep in. The essential strategy would be to put repeated pressure on different sides and try to find a weakness or if necessary try to go for attrition in the long run.

>>159050624
>30 hours to conquer calradia
How'd you do it?

Why can't I just be a bard, and sing tales and plow noble women?

>>159051138
Considering that bolts can be loaded to be fired I would think that this would not be a bad approach for the Rhodok anyways though. Just as crossbows are superior to bows for cover fire so to would they be for retaliatory fire and retreat.

Does formations AI and brainy bots AI conflict with each other?

The AI keeps swinging at air (or its fellow teammates it's hard to tell) before it arrives within range of the enemy.

>>159050790
>How have the incompetent fortifications of the Nords not become a meme then?
What? They're not that incompetent IMO
They'll shit all sort of heavy weapons if your troops get too close so most of the time your only option is stay out their range and bombard them with arrows/bolts from far away (which won't be really effective due to their huge shields)

>>159051368
Problem is the fundamental idea with the strategy is that you have superior mobility to your enemy. If you spread out your forces to put split pressure on your enemy you might get fucked if your enemy actually has a good ability to isolate/destroy one part of your divided force, which would be a lot easier for them if they had cavalry and their army's melee force wasn't practically entirely heavy infantry outside of the very lowest tiers.

>>159051729
Usually Nord Ladder defense has "walls" that basically give no cover to invading ranged with a wide as hell gap that allows multiple invaders to engage in a melee as once.

The only reason why their siege defenses aren't a complete joke is due to the quality of their melee infantry and that they have the best shields in the game. Even then that promotes them from awful->mediocre in defense. Throwing weapons should be a bigger factor but I don't recall them being as significant as they are in mods such as 1257AD.That and Sarranids toppled their throwing weapon monopoly anyways.

That Tiger Knight is somehow clunkier than Warband with less sense of impact is a bit odd.

Retainer play is pretty fun.

It starts out pretty slow of course but It actually gives you an advantage late game because only the player gets to keep, as far as I can tell, their "domain" after upgrading to a castle. Which can supplement their castle(s).

Also the new new combat is a whole lot better. The new economy/land management is much deeper and not as "easy" as the original SOI.
Making friends with other officers is cool too, besides asking you to fuck their daughter they will also sometimes show up to aid you in battles or gift you resources to aid your construction projects.

The in-game event editor...I haven't really figured out yet.

>>159053857
Technically the game has been on steam since March, it just got a patch that added a English translation a few days ago. I haven't seen any bugs.

>>159053807
Faction conflicts are actually more involved due to the higher number of lords (per faction) and the high amount of faction affiliated non-Lord parties.

The world map is a bit boring but the actual battlefields are much more diverse than Native. Especially when it comes to tree density and visibility due to atmospheric conditions.

Can you upload your save if it's female?

>>159054425
Mercenary play is very good too. I would argue it is more active due to ability to quickly raise mercenary armies and the higher than Native mercenary wages. You can frequently make profit or at least break even on your mercenary wages alone.

Furthermore it will allow you to actually see the battlefield variety as you travel the world and keep a single faction from snowballing too rapidly. Furthermore you can assure constant combat by constantly employing yourself to factions that are engaged in intense wars. Especially if you join a faction that is actively getting it's ass kicked, as the high number of lords can lead to a rapid domino effect if a faction attains momentum.

If you do become a vassal early I recommend picking a weak one unless you want EZ baby mode. England for example seems like a really easy faction to "win" 1257AD.

Depends on how terrible the mod is. Polearms are otherwise mechanically superior (impaling horses) and much more versatile.

while the general animations are pretty bad in floris, the stab animation looks better and is much more useful in my opinion

the stab animation in floris is almost like the original M&B one and is garbage
there's one decent melee animation from floris and it's modified and used in anglo zulu, it's the 1h thrust but the character holds the shield up while stabbing
with the warband one it doubles as an evasive move for projectiles as well as prepping a stab

>way better than any other's out there
what others? other mods or other games?
if mods, most changes to the stabbing animations in mods i saw were upgrades(floris, vc, noca aetas)
you dont agree with floris stabbing but i feel strongly that it makes a huge difference when youre using a polearm and shield, also makes a big difference for your troops

>>159067095
>not at all, it actually works
it has barely any frames, like most floris anims
>not like native weird 0 damage shit
that's a player/AI issue of just standing too close
>did i mention something like this? sorry, i couldnt follow why you said it
i don't know what you're talking about
you said polearms are bad originally
i said no because pikemen and guisarmiers are effective
i assumed your next post was "what other polearm users are there anyway" so i replied spearmen
>what others? other mods
yeah, none of the other anims are any better
not talking about upstab though, just the base animations
all of floris' animations are robotic shit with barely any frames

>>159049243
I am interested in that anon undead mod thing, but i have some questions.

How the fuck do you make money to keep paying your skelingotns? Where do you even sell your loot? Everyone becomes hostile to you?

Also how many dead can you rise? Or is it just like vanilla?

>>159067428
>it has barely any frames, like most floris anims
i dont exactly know what you mean here, it is more effective and realistic than native animations in terms of damage, because the stabbing happens much faster and from a better angle
whether you like it aesthetically or not is of course personal choice, i cant really argue with that. but i personally find that stab animation pretty nice
>that's a player/AI issue of just standing too close
yeah i know, but that happens too ridiculously in native and overhauled animations make it much better this is my main point btw

we are not on the same page on that spearmen/pikemen stuff, what youre answering to is not even close to what i said or implied m8

>yeah, none of the other anims are any better
i disagree though, in vc spearmen are actually super fucking useful for example(without consideration of upstab), or in floris hey work better compared to native

>all of floris' animations are robotic shit with barely any frames
i want an explanation on what you mean by frames, do you mean the body movement and general cohesion?
if so yes, i agree with most of that
but i personally like the stabbing in polearms, and it is more useful and realistic compared to the native animations

Khuzait siege footage/horse archery when?

>>159068330
>i dont exactly know what you mean here
it means there's more frames in the animation for attacks to register
>realistic
doesn't matter if it's more realistic if it's worse
>yeah i know, but that happens too ridiculously in native
then the AI needs to be changed
which is true because native combat AI is shit
> in vc spearmen are actually super fucking useful for example(without consideration of upstab)
VC doesn't use any new animations, it just has 1h upstab
which is why spearmen are actually useful
>hey work better compared to native
native is a bad point of balance in general, especially when spears are shit and don't have upstab
>i want an explanation on what you mean by frames
frames of the animations
>and it is more useful
native polearm thrust is perfectly fine, polearms usually aren't balanced well in mods which is the main problem

If I check the can_knock_down flag in morgh's on a gun does it get the knockdown effect?

>>159069221
i don't think knockdown applies to ranged weapons, been meaning to test it but i'm pretty sure it's only melee
it's only blunt weapons too
higher weight, speed, and damage will increase knockdown chance, mainly weight

>>159068713
>doesn't matter if it's more realistic if it's worse
but it isnt though, they work better, thats what im saying


>VC doesn't use any new animations, it just has 1h upstab
hm, then they shouldve made some tweaking, the attacks in vc are much faster(i mean the stabbing part is quicker, the general animation is nearly the same) and they inflict damage earlier

i honestly feel the animations in vc is much more different than native, and if there isnt any tweaking to that, then i will be shocked

also since you seem to know this stuff, is there any way i can make the balancing in native similar to viking conquest? one of my favorite parts in vc is the combat part, feels better than native

>>159069794
i've used both, the floris anims are way worse
>the attacks in vc are much faster
thrust code in VC is slightly faster on the release portion on both the 1h polearm stab and the 2h polearm stab
>is there any way i can make the balancing in native similar to viking conquest?
change the RCM values to be similar to VC, weapons need to be completely rebalanced on a weapon by weapon basis
when i'm rebalancing weapons i already have a concept for most weapons in my head as to how they should perform, the hardest thing i've found to balance is swords, and more specifically two handed swords

>>159070359
Have you tried holding a sword?

>>159070359
>thrust code in VC is slightly faster
ok im most definitely talking about this
this is probably what feels nice in floris too
this makes polearms super useful when using it with shields

I'm interested in how inhuman/monstrous creatures like trolls and giants and shit will be in Bannerlord mods. Hopefully it will be easier to do and make them look decent, because large creatures always look like shit in warband. Also non-horse mounts

>>159070474
i'm not sure if you're trying to be funny but balancing swords against other 1h melee weapons is harder than it sounds, especially since native has quite the variety of swords
>>159070746
in that case it's as simple as opening the actions files of VC and native and comparing the thrust code for ready_thrust_staff and ready_thrust_onehanded_lance
the only difference will be the release_ animation line will be different (0.62 for 1h thrust and .60 for 2h thrust in vanilla, compared to .47 for 1h thrust and .45 for 2h thrust in VC)

>>159071389
I realized that sounded snarky two seconds after I posted it, but no I mean first or second hand experience with actual weapons would probably solve like 90 per cent of the balancing issues in games, not just M&B but in general
I watched a demonstration of a naginata given by a very old japanese woman with her 400 year old family heirloom and afterward when I played upstab mod for Gekokujo I thought "that didn't look imbalanced at all"

>>159074264
problem is you have all those swords in native, and with swords you're more limited on what you can change
can't balance by reach (usually) since native swords are all the same size with very slight variation
can't balance by weight really since swords generally weigh the same
almost all of the extra effect flags for swords don't make much sense
so really it's down to slight changes, maybe some sorts stab better but cut worse or vice versa, or some swords are great cutters but shit stabbers/can't stab
aside from halfswording/mordhau that's really the extent of it
>I watched a demonstration of a naginata given by a very old japanese woman with her 400 year old family heirloom and afterward when I played upstab mod for Gekokujo I thought "that didn't look imbalanced at all"

the naginata bit, how katanas can be one-handed, arrows doing cutting instead of piercing damage making a potentially viable weapon useless

>13 str for a naginata seems excessive given its reputation as a woman's weapon and the aforementioned 90-year old japanese lady
stat requirements in warband are pretty arbitrary to compare to real life
for balance reasons i think it's fine and str requirements are more important on weapons than armor i find, since weapons affect way more and the requirement is altered by modifiers, unlike armor
not to mention physical strength doesn't really come into play when using armor as much as weapons since it's a much more passive thing

>>159077792
Never touched any of the high fantasy mods except TLD desu
>>159077969
>arrows doing cutting instead of piercing damage making a potentially viable weapon useless
Not the one you're replying to but isn't that to replicate the effect of heavy armor ? Usually a good idea if the modder didn't tag pretty much all the armors as heavy.
Concerning the 13 STR naginata : it always felt like the modder simply forgot about it. You can even get a naginata with one of the starter choices as female but can't in any way wield it right at the start

>>159044348

>this was to make the difference between bows and guns more apparent and hopefully fill potential niches, but i didn't test it extensively
my experience is that I'm doing 5s and 3s against enemies and when even a skilled archer can get off only two or three shots at close range it's better to just use a gun or spear
after I changed bows back to piercing I found them extremely useful in close combat like the bandit raids because it's rate of fire and accuracy that matters, not sheer force
that said I also doubled musket damage and I still find bows useful in field battles for the above reasons

>You can even get a naginata with one of the starter choices as female but can't in any way wield it right at the start
all my starts have been like this
it is why it annoys me so much

>>159079983
>how do you balance polearms generally?
if it's choppy and can't stab then i make it do high cut and have the unbalanced modifier, and the weight/speed scales off its reach, if it has a thrust of any description it's usually half of what the swing damage is
also the choppy ones have overhead
if it's stabby and choppy then most of its stats (weight, speed, damage of cut and stab) scales off its reach
these ones have upstab in place of overhead so the swings are balanced (2 swing, 2 thrust)
>this was changed in 3.1b, they're all now two-handed
oh i was familiar with how it was in 3.0 but i installed 3.1b and didn't check how they did it

if it's like how you say with bows then i'd probably swap it back to piercing, but i don't really play that mod
maybe i will at some point i dunno

Chance to drop on Norse Huskarls. I also added some rich helmets and the rich sword. Since I didn't want to have to try my luck multiple times with a blacksmith to get the helmet I wanted.

>>159085631
It was originally chain, but that guy's armor was changed to be bronze scale lorica with the bear pelt. I'm trying to figure out how you get regular chain armor with a bear or wolf pelt. I'm going to presume you get it from tournaments, getting lucky when killing certain Norse troops, or taking it off a noble prisoner you have.

>>159086147
It doesn't drop from tournaments.
I guess you could try defeating Northvegr jarls adn take it from them

The Ginge says it's finally time to conquer Calradia one last time before Bannerlord comes out!
This time though, you'll have to do it in HARD MODE. And in Dickplomacy to show your /mbg/ pride.

Last digit of your post decides:
1 - Swadian Rhodoks (Sharpshooters and Sergeants only)
2 - Nord Archers spam (with neutral troops if you want)
3 - Khergits. That's it.
4 - Rhodok Infantry (with neutral troops if you want)
5 - Sarranid Rhodoks (Master Archers and Guards only)
6 - Vaegir Swadians (Vaegir Knight spam)
7 - !ULTRA NIGHTMARE MODE: SWORD SISTERS ONLY! (in memory of the anon that tried and failed a month ago)
8 - Mercenary only run. $$$
9 - !IMPOSSIBLE MODE: MANHUNTERS ONLY! You can (not) win
0 - !Easy Mode: The Brothelizer. If you put a brothel in every town you win.!

>>159093228
sounds gdlike to me. especially in a multiplayer scenario. preferably multiplayer with some compromise where each player can lead npc troops

>>159093504
>9 - !IMPOSSIBLE MODE: MANHUNTERS ONLY! You can (not) win
slaver chiefs are really good though, that'd be really easy

honestly the thing I actually care the most about in bannerlords is purely the promises of world dynamism and enterprising options. entirely indifferent about the combat, it's already good enough.
Just give me the options to nurture a village or invest in some business, that'll be 10/10 for me

in dickplomacy you can attack manhunters which makes it a bit easier
attack manhunters using other manhunters and get a bunch of prisoners that you can recruit

I see. I guess it will still take more time and effort than normal recruitment so I'm fine with it.

Fate may mock me, but goddammit, I'll do it again if I have to.

How do you deal with enemy cavalry when you don't have your own?
Just got my shit pushed in trying to bait the enemy to charge my spear wall. They did, all right, from both directions, and because they hit my skirmishers too I couldn't volley-whore them like I usually do..

put infantry in front so they're first target
if archers are directly behind then they can't get to them unless they flank, so either find a position where they can't flank or use terrain

>>159096207
>put infantry in front so they're first target
I did. That's why they died.

In retrospect maybe joining a faction with second-tier infantry was my first mistake. Or fighting in the open, but how else do you get the enemy off his ground?

Definitely faster fire rate versus slightly more damage and better looks? Which should I take?

>if it's stabby and choppy then most of its stats (weight, speed, damage of cut and stab) scales off its reach
>and the weight/speed scales off its reach
Reach isn't a pure positive stat though, especially at extremely high reach where it can be easily a negative against AI that loves to hug you or in cramped sieges without good placement.

Polearms tend to be either treated like absolute shit due to portrayal in fiction or "balanced" around two-hander swords and made effectively inferior with the possibility of serving a specialized niche if they are lucky. This is part of the reason that Native remains one of the best mods for varied weapons.

This is also the reason why swords are infuriating from a design and fictional standpoint. They are either superior by pure virtue of fiction or actively suppress other weapons in an attempt at maintaining their viability.
