Did the missing female heads from Gekonewer get fixed?

>http://www.nexusmods.com/mbwarband/mods/3489/?

Is this version of Floris compatible with 1.172?

>>171990156
see >>171989229
version compatibility is almost never an actual issue for mods

especially when you consider that the last update was literally just a folder with some new textures in it, it's not going to break shit

>>171990127
I think Gekonewer uses the whole head mesh as 'hair', so if you wear a normal helmet, it'll make your whole head disappear. You need to find helmets that has 'Women's' tag in it.

>>171990310

Finding all those headless women in castles and towns was the bigger issue for me. I guess this will never get fixed.

hello /mbg/ first time poster here. I'm playing warband at the moment for the first time and loving it. I'm 45 hours in and have 3 castles and a fief and even bagged myself a hot gf as you can see.

So, when it comes to my second playthrough, what mod or tuning pack should I use to make things a bit more convenient, I hear people talking about the diplomacy mod a lot, does that add a lot of nice features?

Also, will I still get my steam achievements like the pleb that I am if I use said mod?

>>171992137
>steam achievements
the only thing that stops you from getting achievements is using cheats

>>171992137
Get dickplomacy and put that hot gf of yours to work.

hello /mbg/ I just played dickplomacy is there a way I can combine this mod with Prophesy of Pendor?

>>171992597

>>171992691
>>171992508
what's the difference between these two mods?

>>171992893
Floris is pretty much objectively better with many more features. Dickplomacy is only a marginal improvement.

Post your mount & blade confessions:
Never conquered the map on Native
Play on 1/4 damage until I'm settled
Auto blocking
Any one more degenerate than me?

>>171993039
If I get fucked and almost broke in the early game, I put damage on 1/4 and win a couple of tournments.

Yeah, I'll kill myself anytime soon.

alright three question folks...
1. whats the deal with shield wall formations in VC, I see people talking about it but no idea how to make that in game
2. whats the best scheme for fighting commands (movement or mouse etc)?
3. how do you end quest in which you failed? they just reply with "you have to do your best"

you mean a non-main story quest? there is a "timer" in the journal. when it ends it pops up that you've failed a quest. i think the npcs say you have to do your best if you ask them "what if i can't complete the quest"

You can even clear out the thugs, as requested but instead of handing control back to the townsfolk, install your own men in the alley and begin a new criminal operation.

>>172007132
Delete everything.

Redownload warband from steam

Place the diplomacy folder from the dickplomacy archive in your module folder

Dont do anything else

Dont touch WSE, dont touch the alternative exe. All you need is in the diplomacy folder

You can install options from the optional content folder within the diplomacy folder.

What the fuck is going on with Picts in VC
They have short stabby swords
They have long basically cavalry swords
They have light armor that covers head and light square shields and crossbows

So is Dickplomacy better than Silverstag

Also I can't find an actual dickplomacy download in google. is the one in the pastebin dickplomacy?

>>172007942

picts get xbows but irish get the best faction cav

>there is a "timer" in the journal
but here is the thing, I failed some quest, like failing a fight with guy I was hunting or something,
I can't complete the quest anymore, but still I can't move on and fail the quest either

one more thing:
4. why is the waiting overworld control so junky, if you're waiting on camp you can't press anything, and mouse click sends off into some direction (even if you click menus),
I find it really odd some of the menu options are also not available on certain locations, I mean, without any apparent reason why it shouldn't

and finally, quest now came to that point where the Jarl asks to kill the king, what do?

>>172008226
>I am
you're an idiot then
VC isn't meant to be played before playing warband

>>172008370
why not? why must I follow the chronological release of the things?

>>172008552
it isn't a chronological release, it's a mechanical thing
VC is supposed to be notably harder than warband and assumes you've already played native

>>172007970
i don't know what's better. but dickplomacy has historical accurate dicking, and fixed diplomacy and is more polished than silverstag( i think). yes. it's the one in the pastebin

>>172009107

I'll give it a go, how do I obtain 'fixed' diplomacy, is this some sort of patch

>>171992893
Floris has a bunch of tiny mods in it, most of them implemented in dickplomacy/diplomacy. Dickplomacy has dicks, literal sex scenes. Shockingly nice animations.
And also it has cool thing where if you're fighting in a tournament with a named character, you get +1 to your relations with them.

>>172008226
did you pirate the game? I'm not aware of such bug in the current version. the waiting is janky because the map is just too big and there is so much going on at any given time.

as for the main quest, I have never tried killing the king because i can't kill someone who have offered me hospitality. if you want to try it out tell me what happens please.

>>172009330
i don't know. i just got the latest dickplomacy when it was released. maybe someone else can help.

>>172007970
>>172009107
They are very different mods despite both of them changing the base game in similar ways.

You require WSE to run Silverstag for all of the scripts its new features uses. Dickplomacy only requires WSE if you want to use one specific horse with custom heraldic horse barding.

Silverstag has it's own, more complex alternatives to all of the features Diplomacy adds. Dickplomacy has all of the features from Diplomacy and expands on them.
Other than that:
Silverstag has unique abilities used by for Troops, Companions and eligible by the Player Character, as well as the SIlverstag emblem system.
Dickplamacy has Sex, Rape, Polygamy, Brothels and the ability to make in-game your own custom banners and heraldry.

Adittionally, Silverstag has an entire Wiki dedicated to explaining all of it's features, while Dickplomacy has a ReadMe with its download.

If you use Silverstag, make sure to use the 0.27 version with 0.27.2 patch.
0.26 Does not have the Oathbound system that serves as an alternative to Freelancer, while 0.30.2 and has too many bugs.

>>172005858
Inside the Diplomacy folder is a folder called Content Options. Drag the contents of the folders for the options you like into the Diplomacy folder. Then enable in the camp menu

all about volume, if i have 100 of them then some of them are bound to upgrade

i normally do go for sailors for this as well, but that's easier if you're not yet a lord and not inland a lot

Almost 9 fucking months for a New Blog! and oh look, it's fucking nothing.

Don't anybody dare give me that excuse again that it's not his choice what they reveal either, he's very open about believing their pathetic current strategy is the best choice. Fuck Frank. The game will easily sell itself because of hype from Warband and word of mouth and this stupid cunt will pretend it was thanks to his "work".

Wealth of late game options.
High difficulty level

Ist it enough ?

>>171933702
I know I'm kinda late but the effect of horses in inventory heavily depends on the amount of troops you have since horses don't actually add speed, but remove speed malus you get from carrying heavy stuff around
So if you're alone with full inventory adding 1 horse will boost your speed by 1.0, but if you have 100 troops with you then you'll need 6 horses for 0.1 change

>>172006920

>>172015906
I know, they don't have projectiles so I could just ride around and poke them with a long spear, but it'd take a while

>>172015827
Yes. But I think Battle Advantage still applies, I'm not sure. I would need to test it. So it's not always an ace in the hole. Furthermore, you can't chose your exact party, so the garrison will be mixed into your group. If it has weak troops, it might swing things out of your favor.

>>172016156
Yes it would take a while but its completely doable and you will get great loot with that many enemies against small army of yours.

Vanilla :

Clearly op units ( huscarls/Swadian knights trump all )
lack of items, weapons and horses variety
many features lacking ( battle continuation, cattle following that kind of shit )
Quests pay pitiful amount of gold, same with enterprises
general lack of shit to do late game
general lack of shit to do early game ( no other way of getting money and loot that fighting )

Mods to get :
Depends what you want
Perisno or Pendor for low fantasy
Warsword for Warhammer Fantasy Battle Mount and Blade
Phantasy Caladria for more high fantasy albeit shit is unfinished as fuck
Brytenwalda for muh vikings and shield walls
AD 1257 for medieval total war on MB engine


Vanilla is not neccesarily BAD per se, but if you play even one mod its positively pointless to return to vanilla because mods do everything better and more.

>>172018404
>Clearly op units ( huscarls/Swadian knights trump all )

>>172018404
Don't listen to this fag, Vanilla is fine overall. The reason you shouldn't play Vanilla is because Dickplomacy exists, which is basically Vanilla+ with improved late-game management options, bugfixes, tweaks to ridiculous mechanics, quality-of-life-changes, etc.

>>172019621
Personally I'm glad I played vanilla first so I can really appreciate the improvements added by mods. More importantly though, something like Dickplomacy has so many improvements not included in other mods that it'll be horrible trying to play something else and suddenly finding out that all those features you took for granted as part of the base game aren't there anymore.

>>172020169

>Personally I'm glad I played vanilla first so I can really appreciate the improvements added by mods.

This is how it should always be done, regardless of game.

What fools these Vægirs were and are
To venture from the steppe so far—
To trade a life of liberty
For vassalage, like serfs unfree.

Beyond the snowy peaks extend
The grasslands of pure Khergit wives,
Where to no king their knees men bend
And free on horseback live their lives.

Instead of fame and wealth mundane
They chase their waifu, pure and kind,
Across the boundless empty plain
Till in her eyes true gems they find.

From Sungetche in morning's light
One may envy the falcon's flight
But higher soars who is in love
With pure steppe waifu, all above.

Speaking of which, what with having a recruited in each town and needing to balance relations more (assuming it's as significant as they made it out to be in the blog post) it seems they're trying to emphasise the role-playing aspect of Bannerlord.
I'm not sure if that is such a good idea. Warband did have a reole-playing aspect mainly through how you interact with other lords and such, but if not for entertaining faction memes I'd be struggling to care about Calradia as an immersive setting.
If TaleWorlds is going to make more personal interactions and relations with NPC mandatory they are going to have to invest a lot in world-building, lore, writing etc., which I doubt they are going to handle well, and which might be a waste of time if everyone's going to play mods half of the time anyway.

Imageboards are ephemeral. We have no names and exist only through our post, and when a thread is deleted, it is quickly forgotten, and so are we.
Generals like these provide a little more continuity, but here, too, we exist only as long as we post. When we post no more and a thread hits its bump limit, we fade away along with it. That's why we say that Steppe Waifu Anon is “dead”—he stopped posting, so for us who continue to visit these threads, he has ceased to be, he is functionally dead.

Seeing the Cao Cao posters always provided me with a bit of existential comfort. We who are mortal fear the nothingness of death, and yearn for at least a shred of immortality. In this microcosm of live, the succession of Cao Cao posters shows us that even when we are no more, we may yet live on through our ideas, through what we have inspired other people to do.

In much the same way, I wanted to continue Steppe Waifu Anon's legacy, if just on the off chance that someone else feels this way and is comforted knowing that death—whether metaphorical or real—need not be the end.

If it really triggers that many people, I can stop posting every thread (and only do it once every week or so), but come on now.

>>172025634
i read somewhere that your bow is less accurate if your power draw level is close the requirement of the bow's power draw.

>>172025673
the fuck up

>>172025265
After power draw that +5 damage becomes 12 damage. Thats the difference between hitting someone with heavy armor for not much, and a reasonable amount.

It is certainly worth it.

It doesn't make you less accurate

Your accuracy, and how long you can hold a draw before it starts to deteriorate are based on your bow skill. Having power draw above the bows requirement does give you a bonus to these things, but once your bow skill is high enough it wont matter any more.

It is reasonable when starting out to maybe consider this effect. But once you have 250+ archery just get that masterwork war bow, it wont matter at that point.

>>171989367
What the fuck did that devblog reveal that we did not already know? What the fuck is going on in that studio my god

>>172025265
masterwork warbow, +3 arrows, 10 PD and (hard to say excatly) 350 prof so targeting shit is perfectly closed again - all that is something else, I guarante. At close, close-mid range only husclars are sure to stand two body shots every time.
Bow damage is quite range dependant, at "12.0" range even Sea Riders will need 2 body shots almost every time.

tl;dr: I'm bad in explaining shit and my english is pretty meh, but simply try that setup and see for yourself
p.s. 8 PD requirement doesn't really matter, it's gonna get perfect accuracy fairly easy and it still fully benefits from 10 PD.

It actually will make "that targeting stuff" open a little again, when you change strong warbow for masterwork warbow at 8PD. It's not biggie and gets good back again pretty fast, tho.

>>172038347
That's actually sort of what I do for siege defenses. Extra bolts are unnecessary for attacking in native/dickplomacy because I'm rolling with my Marksmen sieging squad which means I have more than 60 bolts because I just pick them up from the ground and from the walls. Also I never full-on assault the walls, so the 2-hander does nothing for me.

Pretty shitty m8. The ultimate build is the following:
Heavy two handed weapon(an axe for example) for sieges. You don't really need a shield in a siege, you use your own troops as a shield. Also bring a bow.

For open field battles, get a lance and a shield. You'll wreck any unit with a good couched lance charge. You can also get a bow for pursuing horse archers and for skirmishing.

Only to fix that would be to remove some of the extra (pointless) factions, and I don't have the module files to do that with. Just trying to carve something enjoyable out of the what we've got until something better comes along really, and it's a way to practice scene editing too.

2h upstab was in the code for ages but they never implemented it till WFAS
even then in WFAS it's locked like all other overheads which is shit for thrusts

Comfiness is important when making assets long-lasting games.

>>172047187
no idea
1h upstab wasn't even a thing, it literally only exists because of unintended side effects of one of the item flags

Until I done with UI, textures, and shit.
also what the fuck did I do?

>not going 21 STR 30 AGI for that sweet horse archery hybrid build

>not going for INT/CHA and letting lesser minds fight for you

INT/CHA builds will always be superior because mechanically the game is about armies, not supersoldiers.
Of course, that from a purely efficiency/utility perspective on conquering the map.

What do you listen to while you play?
I'm trying to find something nice to make me immersed, and I'm tired of listening to the same 5 songs in the game.

>using your points
