    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    as soon as I realized I need to personally be focusing on Cities, and let my vassals trade castles, it got alot easier. Like, I said, I was doing alot of annoying trading before, and during that trading, I'd have one or 2 other factions declare war on me, and I'd have to finish up, make...

    The Netflix Thread

    "bloodride" is a decent short anthology of horror. Scandinavian. I wouldn't recommend most of my recent netflix watching. sol levante... 4min test trailer, netflix is pretending is a movie. and a bunch of review sites are insisting is so very important. wtf retardation is this? Molly's...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    yeah, Idk. seems incomplete. As the ruler, I can't figure out a way to nominate yourself. it goes up to auction. everyone else gets to spend influence to nominate who can get the fief. Relationships effect when others vote to aid, others. As well as the A.I., does try to spread it out. if...

    Castlevania

    I think I made a post about this. Ravenloft is first. 1983. Vampire hunter D, later in 1983. Castlevania 1986. Jojo's bizarre adventure 1987.

    Tales from the Loop

    yeah, I finished and cant recommend. its just slow. and sad. its not a sci-fi focused show exploring ideas. it mostly tries to be a character drama, with some sci-fi elements. but, kindof fails at that imho. Its just a bunch of stories about people obliviously living in this world...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    easy enough to just pay for peace anyone that comes at you. its note even a charm role, its just pay em off. trying to expand with constant declarations of war is tough. But tuco is was right, starting from the side is much easier, so you don't have to zig zag across the map to deal with...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I will point out another balance problem. you have what 35 companions? you have 35 unkillable units with 200-300 polearm, AND riding, AND bow skill, and who knows how much t6 gear. that also makes Battanian fians/khans guard look like trash. of course you are slaughtering recruits. you...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    i still say even at 25%, kindof massively op. like, look at this hit you did. overhand chop. 252 damage, 54 cleave to a second unit. units only HAVE 100 hp. so, that "only 25%" still did 50% of a second units life. you are getting 3 kills with every 2 swings. and yeah, you multiply that...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    yeah, fians are still beasts in melee. no shields though. I found Empire Legionares to be as strong really. I take them over Menavliatons. My Menavliatons just died too much. im not sure why yours do so well. fighting only recruits? cleave mod? javs vs sword mod? maybe its just a...

    Tales from the Loop

    yeah, watching this now. and that is a kindof a lingering niggle. like, either this shit is an unknown, so these people are so carelessly walking into this shit, not realizing the danger... or it IS known, and everyone knows about "the loop", and thus random crazy sci-fi tech found here and...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I think I identified a tactical mistake I was making, that resulted in my complaints of alot of "take a castle, lose castle", and kill 20 armies, and the prisoners escape by the time you even take a castle, or finish wiping out the armies, and return with a new army. The problem was...

    reddit is talking about a massive econ bug, in 1.2. cities are all going bankrupt, breaking the game. They think its the caravan/bandit change, but thats on 1.1 too from what I understand? its not clear if its happening in 1.1 as well. I didnt notice them instantly bankrupt..

    "the only thing that kept me going, was knowing you were here." flashforwards to cinnabon Gene... I'm pretty sure that was forshadowing Kim is alive in the "present". So, I'm even more on board with her having to go into criminal witsec, being Jimmys first dealings with those guys.

    to be clear, I mean Winterfell was burned down when Ramsey sacked it, not when the Night king army came.

    Ive heard 2 things on the marriage thing. 1. is it breaks after you start a new kingdom. 2. it breaks after you turn 35. from what I understand its one of those things. Campaign quest is def retarded. I get it as a tutorial to introduce the lords.. but yeah, a fucking HIKE. it takes so...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    one of the many problems with that is, winterfell was sacked. there is no winterfell at this point. it was burned down, the peasants massacred, fled, or starved. The show pretended all that didn't happen, or "just kindof forgot", is stupid. There was no men, no food, and the city/keep...

    that tends to be the main feature of EA though. new features, periodically. x.y.z changed, time for another playthrough. here we also have the various factions. first run was an Imperial, who joined up with Battanians, and mixed their troops. Next play is def going to be a Nord. Try...

    prisoner system needs work. They do not get held nearly long enough. my war on the Southern empire. 14 prisoners. By the time, Im done fighting the armies, the first ones are escaping and magically teleporting back home, and magically getting 100 man armies, and I'm fighting them again...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    well then, just going to have to start executing the opposition. Southern empire has been a real Pita for me like that. They declare war, or I do... And I take a castle, they take 2, I take one back, they take the first one I took back.. I've got quite a few vassals, but they seem to be...

    Ozark

    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...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    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...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    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.

    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...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    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...

    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...
