    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    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.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    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...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    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...

    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...

    1.0.4 https://steamcommunity.com/games/261550/announcements/detail/2078915729788707916 Smithing is super profitable, in terms of breaking down low tier tools into iron. Sickles/hammers. 40g as is... 120g in crude iron/hardwood.. and then, I think upgrading ore>crude>wraught>iron>steel etc is...

    Might be the plan atm. New workshop is a smith in Marunath. Half my army is already Forest bandits.

    yesterday was a rollercoaster for my workshops... This patch goes in, my first workshop, spikes to 4k/day for about 5 days before dropping slowly to 300/day.. I bought a second one when I logged in, in a differant city. This one starts slow and builds to about 200/day never gets over it. Then...

    This named wrong. Should be Mount&BladeII: Horselord Army size:70. 10 footman, 20 Forest bandits, 40calvary/horse archers. 75 sumpter horses, 10 mules, 20 or so odd pony/warhorse/saddle/etc.. my party is more horse then man.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    ha. yeah, my thoughts in the training area was, oh, 2h is awful. shields OP, after kicking the trainers ass. Spears aren't quite as good in game, as real life. way too easy to get in on people. NPCS you can even just run up and punch them to death in melee range. Maybe with really high...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    yeah, I wonder if they scale or get harder or something? I'm playing as a "leader", with xbow training. basically 0 melee/riding ability, and have 50/50'd the tourneyments I've done. Must be a cakewalk for someone with melee stats. Especially as you get more familiar with combat/weapons...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    nice. I thought it was really odd there was no menu icon for the Encyclopedia. you can also just right click just about anything to open it up.. and then just back out of that specific topic, to go look for whatever topic you wanted.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    hideout mechanics are kindof lame. ok, I have an army of 56 people. bandits have a hideout with 4 groups of 7. So whats the plan? run them down like dogs, via horsemen and archers? nah. we sneak in with 8 random people from the army, and attack them 8 v 28. Also, if we do manage to kill...

    Joe 100% burned down his alligator home/tv studio. He also embezzled money from drug lord for his gov campaign. Even if he was entrapped into murder for hire, which he also technically agree to.

    well, there was the actual documentary crew as well. usually, I don't like when documentary crews spend too much time talking about themselves... but I think here it would have been a bit helpful. This doc, does not do a great job in articulating timeline. When DID the documentary crew...

    I was trying to figure out if I had a CDkey, or something for the last M&B I owned somewhere.. or if I pirated it.. or anything. did they give out M&B for free when Warband was released? never did warband, and i feel like I got M&B for free, and late to the party.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Well Data definately removed body parts, and changed his features. and iirc Lal specifically also was allowed to design her own shell. so, S2 Robopicard can totally have his outershell replaced with a 21 yr old Jeri Ryan, as any sane person would do.
