    nah. Wendy doesn't have that kind of long term goal. She's a cheater. "Once a cheater, always a cheater." The affair and her trying to "take control" and have her own criminal career is the same thing. the season started with several dreams of her leaving Marty. one killing him and taking...

    yeah, cleaving is not really that realistic. its going to make any weapon you give it, op. bodies have weight, and are tough to cut. especially armored ones. it would require a TON of heft to swing through a 200lb body. you wouldn't be able to pick up a polearm, that had enough weight in...

    yeah, companion parties are one of the most powerful tools you have. they can earn you cash, earn you influence iirc, get called to an army to seige. recruit heavily, and let you take their troops as noted. And as I was noted in the Bannerlord tweaks. Be careful, as giving yourself unlimited...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    like I broke down before. 1. World map time is the most valuable resource. As you are sieging a location, the enemy is moving to you, or moving to seige 2 of YOUR locations at the same time. So, taking the time to build siege weapons is very costly. Then, letting them sit there and attack on...

    the FUCK? remember when I was saying, storming castles was too easy. and defendors need to use poles to push off ladders? apparently they DO. easily 40+ seiges, and I have never seen this happen.

    my mod list atm for 1.0.10 BannerlordTweaks. -this is a large collection of many very useful changes. I do not have all of them on. fast dialogue. -this one changes the way dialogues occur. Instead of, talk, then choose "attack, send troops, run away" you get, "attack, send troops...

    idk, those "small effects" barrel over 200+ units. I wouldn't mess with stat effect, i think they are mostly ok as is.

    thats ok. 95% of them don't work anyway.

    https://i.redd.it/p810ffcukas41.png its complicated. yes. most people just say, "bound villages". but that means about jack shit. bound village provide surplus goods, for the base product. lets take Poros. (note, poros is southern empire, not Western empire as shown here) Poros has 2...

    just found a new siege thing. after you "lead the assault" and are on the "deploy" top down view. you can 1-9 select troops and move them.

    It's my understanding there is a bug in trading. Basically if you log off/reload it cancels any profit. So any buy/selling you do, needs to be done in a single play. Selling battle loot does not count. buying things, at the same time you sell, lowers exp gain. sell things, hit done, then buy...

    when start a siege, while the camp is building up. there are icons on the ground of the map. you can click on these, to build various siege items. this is done on hte world map, BEFORE you "lead an assault. this pic has 6 siege items in queue. as soon as a ballista, catapult, or trebuchet...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    yeah, Kylo being whiny and kindof shit, is fair enough characterization by itself as an adult. Angsty not quite good enough asshole acting out, because hes not good enough to claim what he thinks he deserves IS a interesting and different take on a villain here. But, as you note, its...

    autoplay, wont pause. oh, god not again with that vid! is it reddit posts here or something? I figured out how to siege properly finally. so you click to build things. ok obvious enough. as soon as something is done building of course, it starts attacking, and getting attacked. clicking on...

    not possible to declare peace or declare war via influence yet. you have to attack a farm, caravan, or party to start a war. and you need to find a lord, and pay them off to declare peace. Also, how do you have 34 members? mod so you can have governors? (thats def what "ruler" in Steward is...

    yeah, that is exactly what I use it for too. Also occasionally, a reminder which castle to take next, or if Im looking for someone of course.

    ouch. the true power of a nation is not how many cities they own, but how many vassals they do. I noticed this, when I decided to fight the Southern empire in mine. fuckers had like 19 clans. And the losing factions were down to 1 or 2 at best. and of course in practice as I noted, when I...

    Steward/leadership/tactics probably should be reworked. they way people talk, and mod Leadership to also give +party size. I assume Leadership used to be, what stewardship is now, and stewardship wasnt a stat in warband. So, Leadership should be +party size. Stewardship is the "governing...

    seems that way. till you buy one or two of the 600-800k items. or, you try to convince a rank 5 noble clan to join you, and the aggree... then ask for 10million+ in worth to join.

    Anyone know if sword sisters are in the game? they are in the Encyclopedia. in the troops. level 21 unit, with 300 bow listed.. no upgrade tree. never seen one. appear in towns somewhere? there are other non-use npcs there. Champion fighter has similar stats, and outfit...

    makes alot of sense. why we miss so much when trying to sword while mounted. why spear walls dont work as well vs cavalry as they should.

    Dunno. I merced for Battanian a bit. But just followed their army around. didn't go trying to talk to their enemies solo.

    western bow is better then steppe iirc. its just the noble bow which seems OP.

    yes. Ranger bow, western long bow. iirc.

    yeah, you can click on them as soon as they are built to store em. and then place them back down when you actually Attack. I didnt know yhou could store them for later battles entirely. Rams are useful. They actually protect decently, while beating down the door. and the door allows...

    I may go back to that save and see what I can do vs that thing. Call my vassals.. plan A would be to try and drag her to a river. fight there, and let my archers do their work. Plan B would be to dive into the city, and use the walls and my archers. I suspect she'll just turn and take my...

    yeah, you need vassals asap. with charm previously broken, that was hard as hell. granted now, its kindof just bugged the other way. walk around giving 1 denar to lords to rank up charm.. My update in that last post. skipping quite a bit of time. after I left Batt, to take mecalovea Castle...

    higher teir units need to cost more. Especially the upgrade/training cost. Right now, I'm sure no one even blinks an eye at upgrading units. only time is maybe when upgrading to horse units, or warhorse units, early in the game, when you can't afford them quite as much. Which of course is...

    a distance based notification system like Starsector would be great. in that, its space, and news like war, market updates, quests/bounties emanate from the local system of origin in real time. so, if your far away it takes longer to get to you. Similar here. should be news updates when you...

    found a bug? exploit? workaround.. so I declared myself Empress of the North, the Truth Heir Apparent.. after taking a Castle. now, then I picked up a quest to train some solders for one of my new villages. Total shitshow, running around killing looters trying to get these idiots to rank...

    The Magicians

    one of the interesting thing this series did was basically toss out the books entirely. its essentially a sequel to the books. s1 was the closest it ever got. sortof the same, but everyone was aged up because getting 14yr old actors was a terrible idea. Instead they got 30yr olds to play...

    Also saw a pretty funny, PSA on reddit. For anyone that wants to try Crossbows, but didn't get xbow training in character creation. There IS a way to train up xbows in game from zero, and get the 20 required to use the only one in the game. Get/train an xbow troop. Put that unit at the top...

    This is my map y1087. I spent most of the timeline, as a bandit/looter slayer. staying neutral. Khuziates started aggression early. Attacking Northern Empire, and taking Amprela early, and a bit later Myzea. Empress of southern empire took Husn Fulq early. Minor fighting over Lageta by...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    The rapid patching does show this is being treated as a soft launch. They want the immediate good word of mouth to get more sales. As opposed to a "this EA is a long term alpha beta test, where we might add some things, might add some other." Which has some good and bad with it. As a soft...
