Yeah that did look pretty rough, especially considering the horse was armored (though it doesn't look like the heaviest type of armor). I guess it's not completely unreasonable for a high tier ranged unit shot to the horse's head to do that on a medium armor horse.

In the PC gamer battles the horse toughness seemed normal though.

The cantabrian circle is pointless if it isn't firing in a single direction or at a specific target. If you're having your horse archers firing outwards in a circle, you might as well have them stand still.

Also, if your horse archers *need* to fire in all directions you have done something seriously, seriously wrong.

I'm posting this every thread to honour the anon's dying wish.

IMO horses' charge damage should be tripled across the board, and their health cut by 2/3.

A cavalry charge should be fucking terrifying, but after the initial charge they shouldn't just continue laughing off everything like a fucking tank.

Horses are relatively "fragile" - one spear in their chest or sword to the leg and they're pretty much useless (not necessarily dead because they're tough animals, but no longer battle-useful).

yeah, what fucks me over is that I am bad at manual blocking, and since my shield breaks instantly, and often I am spawned without any shield I get fucked instantly, in ad1257 you spawn with your own gear which means that as long as you have a lance you are set

what I hate and constantly whine about in ad1257 sieges, is the huge number of reinforcement waves, I don't want to spend 30 minutes mashing left mouse button

>>166218823
you could say that about any mod

>>166218823
you have nothing else better to do if you're playing an in-game day before we get to the nearest town: the mod

>>166218946
well in geko and swedish mayo the sieges are at least over really fast due to open areas, no shields and guns

but yeah, a lot of mods have this problem, somehow in vanilla you seem to get significantly fewer waves until the game gives you the
>enemy is repelled but the siege continues
message, and in ad1257 it just never happens and they keep attacking the walls to the last man

>>166219207
should be able to configure that in mod options iirc

>>166218823
Is it really that much higher? I suspect you may be right as its a bit peculiar how many of these sieges go on in the thousands of deaths. Native typically would have divided that into multiple smaller battles.

>>166218946
You can mod reinforcement waves in TweakMB. By making reinforcement waves extremely high you can indirectly remove the city and inner castle phases of offensive sieges for example.

On the other hand however it also makes it so that the defenders have to grind out the entire Marshal force in every single siege. Further weakening defenders in that they are usually grossly outnumbered initially and player participation makes it impossible for AI lords to reinforce you.

I don't understand why 1257AD; in light of all of these changes, thought it would be worthwhile to further essentially remove the renown rewards for successful defensive sieges. Just what the holy fuck.

>>166219369
there is a reinforcement waves setting in the mod options but it doesn't work, at least for sieges

>>166219442
>Is it really that much higher?
seems to be, I always have to destroy the attacking force to the last man, even if there is 2000 of them, in native its generally 3 max 4 waves before it ends the battle

I don't know who the hell thought that was a good idea, even the inventors of walk backwards and trip, have a reasonable number of waves in VC

>>166219442
>Native typically would have divided that into multiple smaller battles.
matter of scale
native's garrison scale is much smaller than 1257, you couldn't really put 1257 on native's garrison/party scale because of how many lords there are

>>166219872
but it makes no sense, very late game in native I would easily get several thousand men in a siege and it still ended it quickly in a few waves

dragging the battles on forever makes them extremely boring, I enjoy the field battles in ad1257, but I always end up dropping the mod because I grow sick and tired of the crazy siege grind, I ended up being something like level 44-45 in one of my longer running ad1257 campaigns due to that retarded slaughter, the fact that many of the siege scenes are terrible makes it even worse

>>166219872
The opposite is actually true. All other things being equal (AKA reinforcement waves) larger battles would just cause more smaller battles to occur.

>>166220101
i think it's what they thought when they did it
i would like a smaller scale of party sizes though, mod runs bad enough and the fact they force more men into siege scenes than on field battles is really stupid
>but I always end up dropping the mod because I grow sick and tired of the crazy siege grind
yup
i always come back to it though since the field battles are so good
>the fact that many of the siege scenes are terrible makes it even worse
pretty annoying because they're a mixed bag, like some work without a problem and others are buggy as fuck
i'd fix them but i couldn't figure out how to scene

>>166220216
mod runs shitty enough, rather not have it run even worse
plus one of the italian scenes has this horrible bug because of spawn placement of defenders if you're attacking

>>166220338
>I would like a smaller scale of party sizes though
Party sizes are literally irrelevant for this issue. Further individual lord armies are not much different than Native in that the majority are in the 90-150 range (barring Kings of course).

the one nice thing about VC is that a bandit playthrough is a bit more involved than other modules, but yeah, maybe making up some minor goals and then restarting is a decent way to play too

I wish the ad1257 autists would release source code, maybe someone would make a better version, especially since they are completely finished updating it anyway

So long as you ignore defensive sieges I find its not that big a deal. Offensive sieges tend to be comparable to Native or easier... With the exception of some exceptionally retarded sieges that are essentially broken.

Frankly I am basically automating sieges to my Marshal. You can do lot intercepting raiding lords or killing lords that are attempting to reinforce the Marshal. Or if its an early Marshal force (or perhaps one that is weakened) defeating the Marshal directly.

>>166223348
>i like VC a lot but i still can't get the same effect from it that i can 1257
I think its mostly because the setting is so limited, I like it a lot too, but most of the battles are low-tier javelin tossers and spearmen fighting enemy javelin tossers and spearmen, you don't get any real cavalry combat (the irish cavalry in game is actually pretty strong, but neither you, nor the AI will ever have enough of it, for a proper cavalry engagement). I have temporarily dropped it because story mode stole my city and a companion with extremely rare gear died and I didn't get it back, like fuck what the hell

still a lot of the features are really cool, its a there are no large mods for it, or mods that use it as a base

go fight shitty bandits on a horse with a crossbow or a bow, a sword and two bags of ammo

loot EVERYTHING they own and sell it

start recruiting barclay mercenaries and as soon as you can become a mercenary for any faction, don't worry, the wages will be paid off by the mercenary pay which is pretty good in PoP, you can now recruit companions if you want

loot villages

get renown to 150

start participating on tournaments, money will no longer be a problem

after this you should have good trainer skill or have someone with good trainer skill, and should be capable of getting recruits to fairly good ranks in three days

I guess. I also did a quick fact check.

>While ultimately this process leads to rigor mortis, in the shorter term, your muscles may contract. One (ahem) muscle in a man's body may contract and so cause an erection, which may even lead to ejaculation following death. Ladies, we warned you: stand back!

>While some muscles spontaneously contract after death — and though all muscles eventually tighten into rigor mortis — others are loosening their grip entirely. Meanwhile, the part of your brain that regulates involuntary functions is shutting down. Specifically, the region of your brain that controls the muscles that hold your sphincter closed becomes incapacitated following death. Just like those rare occasions where you laughed so hard you peed in your pants, you will pee and poop in the spontaneous relaxation of your muscles following death. In fact, it’s not just the muscles but also the gas produced inside your body following death that will cause peeing and pooping.

Dying is pretty disgusting. The smell of death is apparently guts, pee, shit, and semen.

>>166241420
>using exceptions as the norm

None of the numbers are reliable, it is very likely these battles had far less causalities.

>>166238239
as opposed to ancient war where you're stripped naked and left to rot

>>166241420
I think what they were generally saying was that in the age of formation warfare, most armies began to come apart at the seams at 15-35% mortality rates. After that it came down to chasing down survivors (if the commander saw fit and didn't think it was too risky)

Cannae is exceptional because it was a bubble of Roman soldiers completely surrounded or something similar with nowhere to run.
Asian wars were batshit insane but that's just because they had batshit insane army sizes to begin with.

That said, outside of 'proper' warfare, Romans killed people by the hundred thousands simply by massacring Gauls or Germans.

>>166241703
Those numbers are actually pretty reliable, it's unlikely there would've been a huge difference.

When you explicitly have eight legions setting out that implies 80 000+ soldiers.

His point is that you and I have no idea on the actual numbers, and both sides are notoriously bad at giving them. We literally have battles where claims for soldier deaths goes from thousands to millions.

You're basically doing the same thing the records do, it sounds cooler to say 100,000 died rather than 10,000 so you go with it because why not

Are you one of those people who thinks he knows what he's talking about because he's enrolled in a couple of history courses this semester? Why don't you tell me how it's greatly exaggerated and doctored to the point where accounts on both sides agree to a massive slaughter with almost no survivors down the number? Do you know anything about ancient warfare? Those numbers are perfectly plausible considering how the actual battle unfolded according to our accounts.

>>166242390
So why fucking study history? Obviously we'll never know shit.

>>166242302
The difference is you're shitposting and im not. You might not believe it but that changes nothing.

>>166242169
Romanticism =/= Lies you idiot, thats why you study history to get a better picture of what actually happened using multiple sources, which again are all widely different in their accounts.

Your claim is no more valid than mine. I can easily pretend I know what I'm talking about too senpai

>>166242529
>romanticism != lies you idiot
You're one of those faggots who says 'these numbers are wrong because I can't believe it!'.
Go on, provide the detailed analysis of Cannae's numbers that prove you know what you're talking about, more than I do when I claim that in fact Hannibal was a 12 years old little girl who killed the army solo by casting widened Wail of the Banshee over and over.

>So why fucking study history? Obviously we'll never know shit.
I dont think you understood what I said, it doesnt matter if its 100,000 or 10,000 because more often than not the core reason someone wins or loses is something else entirely, or obviously stated by both sides.

Do we know the exact number who died in vietnam? No, but we know the core reasons why the US lost. Do we know exactly how many romans Hannibal killed? No, but we know his core methods for winning fights, and why he eventually lost.

Basically you're being poetic, looking at the minor pointless but romantic details of thousands going to their doom and fighting bravely rather than looking at the core issues. So instead of getting impressed by a bunch of made up numbers and then sperging at people for pointing out its pointless to be impressed by it educate yourself on the methods of warfare.

No more replies for you, I gave you the answer and you're just refusing to listen to it because it proves you wrong.

>>166242737
>get corrected
You didn't correct shit though, all you said was "if it sounds cooler then people probably did it so no sources will ever be reliable in anyway". History is based off studying sources, if you catagorically discount the sources then you should probably discount history altogether.

>>166242732
What are you talking about? I'm not the one posting battles, I'm just commenting on how retarded this snobbery sounds.

>>166242832
And this faggot hasn't even pointed out, for such a history major, that THERE ARE NO SURVIVING CONTEMPORARY ACCOUNTS OF CANNAE and that THERE ARE NO CARTHAGINIAN ACCOUNTS OF CANNAE, failing to call me out on the obvious bullshit I put into my posts. Whoops!

Not him but there are, which is hilarious because you proved you just read your history from wikipedia

>>166242943
>its made up
Prove it though. If you're going to say the numbers are made up, then what's to say everything else about it isn't? Maybe Hannibal didn't use the double pincer at all. And obviously this isn't relevant on the big scheme, but there's a lot of things not relevant on the big scale studied anyway because of being interesting.
And I'm not the one posting battles, but the history major who doesn't even know we don't have Carthaginian accounts of Cannae popping in saying WAHH IT'S FAKE without any supporting evidence, or even any supporting reasoning, is retarded.

how castrated was Varus after that shitshow

>>166243107
There literally aren't though, not full ones at any rate.

>>166243178
Go look on your university library page, there are

>>166243168
Varus died there. You can see a little cross next to his name.

Plutarch / Livy / Polybius whoever the fuck you're talking about weren't contemporary. At most they were using accounts that were contemporary but we don't have anymore, or by word-of-mouth from survivors or people who knew survivors, etc.
We know they were using contemporary sources. We also know they were probably biased in one form or another or using it to tell stories more than anything else.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves Sven
The fact that most of their neighbours pretty much had to team up against poor little Sweden was pretty impressive at least

Then go lift them out because I sure have never heard of them, hell we don't even have most of Polybius.

Not him but can you even back into your uni library after you graduate? I thought you usually need to be an actual student
