John Charity Spring posted:You can recruit Khergit troops in their homeland villages - purple-named ones. Heavy cavalry massing in Native and Native Expansion is so powerful that it's almost boring. Swadian Knights(in Native) and Lady Knights(in NE) are relatively easy to get and pretty much whoop the poo poo out of everything. For an alternative route, try masses of Rhodok Crossbowmen.

Aye, like I said, I prefer the minute-to-minute terror of having a sword, shield, and spear, standing in schiltron on a forested hill while Khergit horse archers slowly whittle down your band and you wonder if you're going to survive at all. Can't beat it.

I did the beta app and never got a confirmation e-mail for the next step You'll just get a link to dl the latest version if you're accepted, there aren't any more steps after filling out the beta application. I waited a couple of months before getting accepted in while some people got in a week after signing up so it's selection is pretty random.

The text for that patch looks like it will either be really awesome or make this release unplayable. The distinction between a held block and a parry is great imo and blocking a left to right swing by chambering right and vice versa are great, blocking a thrust with chambering overhead is TERRIBLE though as is blocking an overhead by chambering thrust. When I have a thrusting weapon and I see someone swinging overhead my first reaction (and I think everyone else does this too) is to thrust into them, since thrust is the fastest attack and overhead is the slowest.

Also version .650 has a really annoying melee friendly fire bug. So you have to be very, very careful, especially if you're cavalry. I had a teammate spawn right in front of me when I was cavalry and I hit him with my lance, killing me instantly. edit: Just happened 3 times to me in one game.

Messed around a bit with the new version. Couching and horseback lancing seems like it was mostly reverted back to earlier versions before .45. Some one handed weapons swing a lot faster now. I don't know if the melee ff is a bug or not but I kind of like it.

Melee ff would ruin the game because you don't have any fine control over your attacks, in the real world you have more than 4 discrete attacks you can do to avoid hitting the wrong person.

So far the patch has been pretty well received although it has some bugs. Sprinting is great, Parrying is also in but with the same animation. The timing for the second swing is still extremely quick since swords have been sped us considerably. Vaegir archers can unleash scimitar spam like crazy. The best new blocking system improvement is the chamber blocking that happens when you intercept in an incoming swing animation with the take-back of your swing in the same direction you'd normally block. This with an overhead swing against a spear thrust and has improved offense against turtling spear+shield users. Current ridiculous bug: blocking with fists parries all melee attacks.

I installed Warband but whenever I start it up and put the serial key in it says "Unable to connect to activation server". I tried adding it to Windows Firewall, tried disabling the firewall and disabling Avast. Anyone else have similar problems?

Haha, no jump damage? When did that come about? Or have I just never noticed? I've been leaping off of the walls in Castle 3 onto unsuspecting soldiers with a mace. Twinge, the most important part is staying with your fellow troops. We kicked rear end!

Fall damage takes a surprisingly high fall to take effect but it's there. Jump off the top of one of the towers in village and you'll take damage.

Don't worry, they're pretty terrible. They don't take themselves very seriously, but I do know of one or two that may be terrible server admins and might ban you for something stupid. nK and ADD are the "good" clans, but they can be hit or miss.

I'm surprised they never emailed past customers about this (unless I just missed it), signed up today. Hopefully I'll get to play it soon, I haven't played M&B in forever.

I don't know what-the-hell to do with melee, trying to focus playing an archer at first. It seems to be a way easier approach at playing the game (even though I just awful).

So my beta copy has been sitting in my inbox for a while, not sure why I haven't downloaded it yet. Can anyone explain how this works? Is everyone who plays on one big map, or are there different servers that are just battles? Is your character consistent across different sessions/servers?

JerseyMonkey, I'd be happy to lend the use of my Ventrilo server. It's been a ghost town for a while now (was supposed to be for my Goon Haven Tribes servers). Let me know.
