    Not sure about anything he said, but he has the hair style I would grow if I spent 30 years being genetically bald and then woke up and start growing a thick forest of jet black hair.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Yeah I haven't really strategized a good siege strat up but from my experience what you describe sound about right. The siege AI is just not ready yet. Frankly I think it's one of the big things that Bannerlord might not get right ever, because the engine just isn't designed to do cover fire...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    It's not as deterministic as warband was. Sometimes I'll roll up to a siege with my 36 person party and immediately they'll sally. Other times they'll take a few days and sometimes they never will. If they don't sally I can't beat them, so I have to make trebs/cats to destroy their defenses and...

    I used dnspy and a previous form of this: https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/170 But this mod looks pretty popular too: https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/89 I think you can also use the console to spawn companions, I'm not sure...

    That 700 vs 1500 sounds like an epic fight. You should record those fights in OBS and post them. I actually really like watching people's huge bannerlord battles. re: units, this is the best breakdown I've seen...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    how close are you to conquering the world now? Is it getting harder as you get further along? I'm hoping they release the patch that makes lords train a bit harder before forming up armies and marching to the enemy. In my current playthrough I'm rolling with the Khuzait and we've got a bout...

    SpaceX getting human riders is a huge next step. USA resuming ownership of human space transport is a huge next step. Mankind sending human riders on reusable rockets is a huge next step. Lots of huge steps here.

    To Build a MMORPG / Game

    I wouldn't sign up to make an MMO led by anyone who hasn't already some level of a leadership position in a successful MMO release. If you'd like to make your own MMO, earn your stripes first by joining an MMO game development company and making their next MMO successful. If you're unwilling to...

    Been a long road but I'm super happy we're back to being able to send our own astronauts to space. Best part is this is just one of a handful of reasons to be super excited about space exploration in the next year, let alone the next decade. This isn't just some one-off, massive taxpayer funded...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I'd love nothing more than for AC:Ragnarok to copy Shadows of War's randomized NPC system. They did it kind of half-hearted in AC:Odyssey, but Shadows of War put soooo much emphasis and budget on it that it'd be hard to replicate. Really the entire combat system in SoW was built around the...

    I really like the bounty hunters. It adds that kind of GTA-like cost to causing havok even if it's a bit of a nuisance.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Some people get real uppity about the "quality" of their weights, but it's all just heavy ass steel. I bought this 300lbs set for $215. It has a barbell in it too, that I'd replace with a better one if I started lifting more than 400lbs. Otherwise you can get plates for about 1lbs/$1...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Here's the first big battle I fought. Took me like 10+ attempts to win. I basically just had my troops ride around like bitches in the back to split their troops up. Normally we'd stride in and just start swinging and end out on top.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I did this. Basically T1->T3, T2->T4, T3->T4 for all the cultures. The game is totally different now. Battles take much longer and are way more epic. My companions with T6 armor get trashed really easily and I have to use them sparingly. I'm trying to make a video of it in a fairly even but...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    When I fight the mongols (khuzait) I find the best counter to their horse archers is to cheese the piss out of them by running to the edge of the map, let them try their circle staff bullshit and then charge into them with my cavalry swinging polearms when they circle strafe right into the edge...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    true false, the elite classes are as good as my companions, but they are rare in an army and the bad horse AI really mitigates most of their impact. true! false! The difference is unmistakable. Besides, the companions don't really do all that much killing in a big fight unless I circle-cheese...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Yeah, its really powerful but the real problem is how fast and how damaging the swingable polearms are. You just cant swing a polearm like its a long piece of PVC pipe and if you could, it wouldn't cleave a man in two like it does. The menavliatons don't have the reach or speed (damage) to...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    It's the javs vs swords mod. Without it they'll frequently use their swords which makes them garbage-tier troops. With it they will chew up the front-line of the assaulting force extremely well with javelins and then when the forces crash holy fuck do they smash with their overhead attack. I...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I'm kind of curious to see what it'd look like if instead of a horde of menavliatons I had the battanian fian champ archers just gatling-gunning everything. I figure that any army with shields would eventually get close enough to turn it into a melee fight where the fians would still roast...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I figured I'd create a video of a typical big fight with my Menavliatons before I put the game down for a while. Realistic damage on for everyone. Challenging combat AI. Glaive is a blacksmith built one with 200 range. Companions all use glaive + bow. They could've cut down the enemy army for...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I think I'm going to take a break from bannerlord until they make it so lords don't go into battle with recruits constantly. One of the fun parts about Warband and its mods was that you'd start in on a different culture and have to adapt your strategy and fighting style for them. Pendor and...

    hahahahah This mod is related to that. It looks like it's just for the player but I kind of want it to be for all the randomly generated NPCs too, so I can fight giants and children. https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/638

    That's kind of the problem with quests in a sandbox strategy game like this. The game is designed from the ground up to value game-time as the greatest commodity, so when you add some quest that asks you to talk to a bunch of people you have to decide whether to play the game or do the quest...

    Conquering calradia seems like something I only do when I want to put the game down. Cause restarting after you conquer calradia makes everything seem so...... mundane.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    Yeah the recovery mechanics are ridiculous. I'm betting they haven't tweaked it yet partially because if they did the snowball effect would be much worse where an army would get captured and then the attacking army would run wild all over the land. There's a bunch of stuff that will be silly...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    The biggest impact is you lose reputation with "notables" who are the people you recruit soldiers from. So if you take over a territory by executing all of the lords in it, large chunks of existing notables won't give you soldiers. I dont' know how drastic it is, but I read a post on the...

    I did quite a bit of MP before Early Access. Captain mode was pretty fun (It's you and a handful of troops you command with a few other players on your team vs another team) but it'd be a lot more fun to team up with a regular group and coordinate with each other.

    So the Family Feud quest is bugged for me. I have so many companions it's impossibel to get some rando NPC in the village scene since it's bottom of the list. Even if I knock out my companions he won't show up. It'd probably work if I kicked my companions out of my party but that's a waste of...

    I gotta imagine that trying to start at the center and work your way out is hard mode. Better to start on one corner and spread out. Like taking Australia in Risk.
