Third also for physics

crossbows are useful

just did some tests to see how str/proficiency scales using firearms in native
with 30 str and 699 proficiency i got an average of 185 damage on headshot at close range
with 60 str and 699 proficiency i got an average of 196 damage on headshot at close range
with 30 str and 0 proficiency (reimporting the character after each shot) i got an average of 86 damage on headshot at close range

Give me Butterlord or give me death

>>164838341
did the same for crossbows though str doesn't scale for crossbows so i just did proficiency
with 699 proficiency i got an average of 139 damage on headshot at close range (siege crossbow, steel bolts, took off the can't use on horseback flag so i could fire at close range)
with 0 proficiency i got an average of 130 damage on headshot at close range
basically str scaling damage is pretty negligible for every weapon type, but proficiency scaling damage is pretty important for everything besides crossbows, though it does improve crossbow's accuracy and load speed
so keep in mind how important proficiency is i guess, especially in mods that use the firearms slot for their guns instead of crossbows like geko does, or slings

Sieges damage the wealth of a city, and it takes a long time for them to go back up.

>>164845502
Conquering a city almost automatically (automatically?) sets it to V. Poor. Go nurse the nearby villages and castles to fabulous wealth.

>>164838341
I wonder if it is possible to set another damage calculation formula for specific types of weapons .
If not I at least hope it will be possible in Bannerlord

When will Ginge return and tell us that Bannerlord has been vaporware all this time?

IN NOMINE

if you take a city by storm it won't significantly affect the wealth
real damage is caused by prolonged sieges when villagers can't bring goods to market

I was about half way into dominating Japan with my custom faction so it was late late endgame shit. I really want to keep playing but at the same time I don't want to play 30 hours again.

I think I'll look into some cheats to see if I can somehow cheat my way into getting some of the stuff I had back but I've taken a look online and the cheats in this game seem to be lackluster.

I wonder if anyone has any idea of what the problem is and if there is a solution that doesn't involve having to play all of it again. Or maybe some external cheat or something since the ingame cheats are so bad.

What good are brainybots when the overall AI is beyond hope mostly not even attempting to counter the players flanking or hammer and anvil tactics

>>164872378
I've tried it and it's alright. The start is extended for non-nobles because of having to factor in prestige as well since you need the ranks for stuff ( I forgot what) Combat is pretty alright since the first tech tier is all native stuff, but later on with higher techs and new troops the different factions felt a bit same-y. Artillery worked surprisingly well with the AI being mostly competent as well as the player being allowed to take control.

For some reason I can suddenly see all the bandit hideouts in the map. Is there a way to disable this shit?

Nice. Doing well here so far. I was initially worried about being neighbors to the Holy Roman Empire but mass defections and the war with Polish Principalities has made them a near non-threat. In the process of Conquering the Crown of Aragorn. The Holy Roman Empire is now a boon in that they are my wall against the Polish Principalities, which are competing for mightiest faction with the Kingdom of Hungary and Il-Khanate.

Kingdom of England (pushed back to starting territories, initially resentful) and Emirate of Grenada (conquered both Portugal and Castille) are my next two neighbors and both are slightly stronger than my kingdom ~ Emirate of Grenada has just declared war with England however so if I can conquer Crown of Aragorn quickly enough I may be able to conquer a weakened Emirate and close out my western flank completely.

Afterwards I intend to fortify my position for a while and let the Polish Principalities and Kingdom of Hungary tire out their own kingdoms with the likely mass defections that follows constant defeats and land reassignments.

That is the plan anyways. Due to having high honor I have almost reached a point where the longer the game persists the greater my advantage due to having a lock on 100 relations lords that lose or leave their factions.

With high honor you will be rolling in devoted and good-natured Lord pussy.

The most efficient way to keep other Lords above negative relations is to use a married Lady in one of your cities to bribe them.

Depending on circumstances you may just need to accept that you can't be popular with all of the lords in your kingdom. So long as you don't give dishonorable lords Castles/Towns and prioritize a small pocket of bad disposition Lords it should not be a big deal.

Due to lord relations juggling I find being a Marshal as a King to be pretty disadvantageous. Your Marshalls won't have the same relations loss considerations that you do. Even without relation concerns I still find it more efficient to let an AI Marshall do work while I do my own thing as a separate force.

High honor will give you a positive modifier with upstanding and good-natured lords. Aside relations being generally good these very same Lords; once at 100 relations, will lock at 100 relations making them perfect for castle/town ownership.

Part of the reason many of my 100 relation Lords have no fiefs is that I can keep them indefinitely unassigned without worrying about them losing relations. I tend to be very strict with my Lords being assigned neaby fiefs. A castle/town and an aligned village for example. Or castles/towns in proximity of each other.

186 honor is pretty high but I don't have any internal benchmarks or anything of that sort. I tend to attempt to play mods as blind as possible and attempt to start a kingdom based on intuition.

Seeing as he found a hilt during one of the battle showns at everything that appears in the blade section seems to be all of them I'd say its safe to say that all spearhead shown are the entirety of what was available at the time.
I think they maybe focused on the swords first then began to work on other weapons.

What's your favorite track from Native or any of the other mods?

>>164884178
Is there a way to know if a lord is upstanding or good natured? Locking at 100 also sounds too good to be true.

Also, if some of your lords have no fiefs won't their personal armies just be shit and low on numbers?

You can base their personality in some flavor text in Native. Other mods may allow you to directly have a chancellor or report page inform you of Lord relations.

Lord quality army will be weak if they don't have any fiefs yes. I would rather they have temporarily weak armies rather than indefinitely deal with bad fief assignment though.

100 relations lock takes a lot of work to achieve and many AI lords have that with their starting kingdom as well. In many instances the only way to recruit such Lords is to destroy their kingdom and hope that they wander into your kingdom for employment. Mods like 1257AD tend to make them easier to recruit due to the extremely high numbers of lords and factions. My Lord roster is not a good indicator for what most kingdom experiences will be like. Especially Native.

>>164886232
Once a kingdom gets sufficiently huge even tiny nations will develop massive balls and begin declare war without pretext. So if the HRE is truly massive that may be a good idea. If I were to gang up against a stronger faction like HRE I might just resolve to help the other ~4 nations conquer as much of the HRE as possible and NOT conquer any land from the HRE myself though. This would serve two purposes:

1) If the HRE remains strong after the coalition loses steam they are unlikely to declare war on you. You are also unlikely to have a fief in the middle of fucking no where.

2) This will prolong the combat between the ~4 kingdoms and most likely weaken all parties overall. Constant fief gain/loss will also weaken relations with many lords of all factions as well.

1257AD Faction nation behavior is almost rational; unlike most Diplomacy mods, in that so long as you don't conquer a fief that was owned by a faction they will typically leave you alone. Whereas if you do conquer a fief from a faction they will fixate on recapturing it and constantly declare war with you (The Kingdom of England declared war on my 3 times because I took Bordeaux from them -- Which of course they took from France. For a while things were very dicey between France, England, and myself).

Nice memory and catch anon. That may explain why England was abnormally obsessive about reconquering Bordeux despite it having a larger garrison and being farther away from such territories as the Nantes and Paris. I fully intended to sacrifice the two towns to weaken their >3000 Marshalled force but instead they made a bee-line for my former capital at Bordeux and forced me to relocate my court to Talhouse.

Oh no they are dead Jim. As if England wasn't bad enough Norway and France decided to get in on the action as well. I just started a new game for reference in confirming initial land ownership.

>>164891857
If you can secure the British isles you will be in a great position due to the corner position offering minimal fronts.

The real challenge is that the Kingdom of England is almost always extremely strong and starting an independent kingdom means that they will likely be much stronger by the time you are strong enough to declare your own kingom.

Otherwise the other advantage is being able to force naval battles. While naval battles are great for IRL time efficiency I find them to be generally a disadvantage to what you can accomplish in the field unless you fighting mounted archer factions -- Such as in the middle east. Naval battles nullify mounted archer mobility and the Crusader State soldiers tend to have much higher quality armor.

getting closer since there's only 13 factions left including me, england is still in the game for some reason even though they have no fiefs or vassals
>>164891857
the factions on the isles are as follows:
england uses generic euro troops, so identical in unit composition to france, HRE but they have welsh merc kerns (which are crap), merc archers (which are alright) and merc longbowmen (which are good but worse than welsh faction longbowmen)
scotland also has generic euro units but instead of the euro infantry line they get scot infantry, which are either axemen, spearmen, or pikemen which make them pretty unique
ireland has their own irish troop tree, the troops themselfs are ok, but the gaelic mercs are very, very good
wales has their own troop tree, of shitty spearmen, average cavalry (slightly worse than regular euro knights as they don't always get a barded horse), and excellent archers
arguably wales starts in a better position on the isles than the other smaller factions due to the capital having 1200 men, making them harder to steamroll by england
but wales starts at war against england, and wales only has a castle and their capital, and about 4 lords including the king
if you're going to root for ireland or scotland you'll want to start right away and let england fight wales as a distraction in order to build up your manor for manor armies (which you'll need as those small factions, especially as wales)
britannia is an excellent springboard for world conquest, but it'll take a while to build up your forces to take the isles regardless

Do those until you're where you were at and then disable the cheat menu (ctrl+`, type nocheatmenu). Be warned that if you allow time to pass while cheat menu is activated you get spammed with absurd amounts of debug messages, so use the teleport cheat and try not to run around much.

>>164923502
do this in somewhere you don't plan on joining as a vassal
like really far away
ie if you wanna join france go do this in the baltic states, for the mongols, or for arabs so you can get companions you wouldn't normally get otherwise

They're gimped for beginners I'd say because lords seem a little more reluctant to give you fiefs and, well, you've seen what scrubs think of sieges and battles and stray javelins to the face in M&B.

Going for early fief ownership is a trap anyways. Its much more profitable to be a mercenary when the best you can expect is some hand me down fief from a faction. Later on it is better to capture a (likely weakened) town yourself then swear vassalage so that you are assured the town and it's adjacent villages (rather than villages spread across the entire map)

>tfw it's so bad in Total War that you prefer to play with braindead battle AI in Warband

>>164924639
Yeah Mercenaries is definitely the best. You can get in all the big fights, and build up a large army completely cost free while you store up gold and invest in your future income.

Drunken reminder to welsh anon to expand glorious Wales' borders from the sun to the oort cloud, and god fucking speed.
Do it faggot, beat 1257

>>164915503
What are your top 3? I haven't found any mods I like other than Diplovexed and all vexed does is skip grind.

>>164924639
>>164924850
How do you get free troops as a mercenary? I always have to pay for mine beyond the stipend?

>>164926872
You just don't have to pay for the weekly wages, which if you are roaming with a large army and good troops, adds up to quite a substantial drain on your finances. At least, I never had too, the mercenary stipend always increased to be at least slightly higher than the troop wages.

>>164927000
Interesting. I regret becoming a vassal now. Ah well I have a castle at least.

It depends on the mod but you are generally going to profit much more as a mercenary than a vassal. That and in many mods; IIRC Native included, a single village's income can be really pathetic. Especially as an early game lord doesn't really have any defense against Lords raiding their village. Not only will you not receive any income while it is looted but the taxation will be really pathetic while it recovers.

Question, if I wanted to white knight the shit out of Lady Isolla, what do I need to do to prep for that before pledging to her? Should I sign on with Swadians and make friends and get some land?

>>164927362
I'm already the dye baron of northern Calradia so I'm doing alright. M&B is about grind anyway. You can reach the same place as anyone else doing it wrong with enough grind. Next time I play I shall go full merc.

Is 1257 actually good or is it a meme?

Are you fucking kidding me? How high do I need to make this guy's relations before he will finally marry off his fucking daughter? Why isn't coercion an option? Bah

>>164928926
Remember nobody marries for love in Calradia. You need fucktons of renown and dosh.

What's 1275?

>>164930432
sequel to 1257

In Dickplomacy, is whoring limited to customers of the opposite sex, or can a female character fuck female NPCs too?

>>164930432
a number

>>164930486
female's can peg

>>164930571

I'm guessing that I need a higher persuasion or charisma then, because my character just gets told to piss off by the female tavern-goers, while the males are all on board immediately.

is Rome At War good?

>>164932131
it's not finished

>>164932131
It has awesome assets.

>>164930757

Now that I think about it, has anyone ever made a combined version of the modded Diplomacy with updated models and upstabs+pike bracing from http://pastebin.com/agwZu9Df and Dickplomacy? That seems like it'd work out pretty well, with better looking armors/weapons, combat, and the extra content from Dick.
