Riding your horse full-tilt toward the enemy and chucking a jareed and it slamming into the Noble's dome as they hilariously ragdoll at the speed of sound off their armored horse is the funniest god-damned thing I've seen in a long long time

Does the city a caravan is based out of impact where they go? I sniped a city from the Aserai and decided to buy out all the workshops, but the wool one isn't doing very well in spite of the presence of a sheep village. I can manually supply wool to help it but,  .Would canceling my caravans and rebasing them to my town make them route to and from it more often?

Cultured Start mod is very good. Started a new game on the beefy beta and getting to skip the tutorial and noble hunting quest and just being allowed to actually freely play the game is so nice.

So are these new beefy npcs a bug or working as intended? Like is this gonna get patched out on monday or do the devs intend to inject raw bovine growth hormone into every peasant?

What skill controls the chance of prisoners deciding to join you? Charm? After a war with one of the imperials I've got a nice chunk of their elite cavalry, but I notice tier 6 or 7 units never seem to give in, it's only the lower ones

Motherfucker posted:I ain't tryna yuck your yums or anything its just I'm getting way more value out of flicking sticks at my foes. My horse bowman lady can kill over twenty looters singlehandedly without taking damage, you can't even carry twenty javelins. If you go hard into bows then yeah you can generall get more total mileage out of them, but it takes quite a while to expend that many arrows, a full set of arrows will kill more people total, but javelins kill people faster which limits the amount of damage those troops can do in a group fight.

Bows are a bit nicer due to the increased headshot multiplier in the patch at least.

Is anyone running into the situation during a siege where you ram through the first gate, batter down the second, and get greeted by a dense formation of enemy militia? But they just stand there? Every time my soldiers pile right in but I walk around to the back and start literally mowing them down with a two handed axe. 1-2 kills per swing, they don't even turn around.

Nosre posted:What skill controls the chance of prisoners deciding to join you? Charm? I think there's actually some sort of experience thing going on. Often see a few prisoners decide to flip after a battle. It would explain this too: Galaga Galaxian posted:High Tier units will never convert, just ransom them or donate them to your alliegance's dungeons. Higher tier need more xp?

It's almost certainly a bug. The modder behind Detailed Character Creation wrote a Known Issues blog post which mentions something that sounds like it might be related: quote:Currently, there are a few bugs presiding which we need to figure out to get this mod operating to it's fullest extend at this time.

And on foot, slamming a big two-hander into someone's head and one-shotting them never gets old. Hard agree with whoever upthread was talking about flinching away from attacks. I find myself leaning into blows, too. It's a hugely kinetic game for how pedestrian the attack animations actually are.

They're intended to be the door and horseman blockers I guess, but either the positioning hasn't been tweaked or the script to make them charge the door isn't fired. The sieges are one hell of a ride but the scripting is a little wonky in a couple of places. I had one where I got knocked early on in the assault but my troops easily took the town. They then spent 15 minutes milling around in the gate courtyard before all 500 of them simultaneously broke into a dead run to chase down the last two enemy militia that were hiding in a back tower.

I’ve got a suspicion it depends on who you’re continuing to fight. I’ve carried around a bunch of prisoners during an ongoing war and seen no recruits but if I take a break and run down looters for a while I start seeing them turn over. My guess is that it keeps some affiliation to their clan/kingdom and won’t turn while you’re killing their friends? I’m probably reading too much into it. Could be based on lot of experience gain/morale by the army crushing looters without me. I’ve had rank 3^ troops turn over, not sure about higher. I’ve started carrying one of each troop with me and keeping the bulk of the ones worth keeping in my castle because they recruit per unit type so no point carrying the travel penalty of having a bunch.

They're definitely agnostic to kingdom, since any kingdom can have any unit type if they've conquered the right areas, and I often keep a stock of ready to convert prisoners to fill out any losses. It seems like it's just a daily pass/fail percentage roll.

I've been giving the Aserai a try and man desert bandits are surprisingly annoying. If they're not on horseback then they carry spears that my own cavalry just freakin love to plant themselves on.

In my personal experience, charging a solid door on a horse gets you thrown off and the horse looks at you like you're a dumbass. Horses are not battering rams. Ask me about summer horse camp

I somehow managed to break the Family Feud quest by... accepting another quest leading to the same village? Accepting a quest from the landlord I was supposed to be family feuding with? My murderers absolutely will not show in village maps nor will spawn in a direct talk with the target, they hide out in the party until time runs out and then also stay afterwards as a double-duty useless companion/cultural ambassador. Bummer but at least I can sell off their gear and it's cool I can pledge loyalty to the Battanians any time I want via a bunch of nude cowards

Yep, turns out prisoner recruitment is this:Someone on nexusmods posted:Recruitment of prisoners currently works this way: every day, once for every unique stack of prisoner (that is recruitable and tier 6 or below), check an array for a value for their corresponding tier. If that value is above a random value between 0 and 1, add one prisoner in the stack as recruitable, and subtract the corresponding array value by 1.

Galaga Galaxian posted:A vaegir game long ago taught me that the (Heavy) Bardiche is the best weapon ever. Yes, very true, I had a similar experience. It's like the Skyrim stealth archer effect, though. I played through Warband to satisfaction maybe 5 times and went horse archer every single time, even though it's not really the most fun or rewarding way of playing.

I don't remember archers being this deadly. Started my new game so smaller party and noticing balance more. My party: 10 level 4-5 infantry plus 15 high level crossbow Enemy: Like 10 forest bandits. Result: All infantry wiped out by arrows before they can reach the archers, crossbows then quickly wiped out. It was down to me riding back and forth lancing the archers at the end. Barely won. I know archers are considered "OP" at the moment but wow.

I have lost a caravan, I found out when I noticed a message that my companion had escaped captivity. They ended up waiting in a tavern the same as when you lose a battle and are taken prisoner. No notices or alerts about the caravan getting attacked like settlements or that it was destroyed, the companion was just back to a regular NPC and I was able to start them on another caravan without issue.

Baronjutter posted:Forest Bandits Yeah, archers are terrifying right now. I expect some sort of nerf to at least accuracy, probably also damage vs at least high-armor targets. Crossbows conversely feel like they should really do more damage against high-armor targets than they do. Also crossbows should, y'know, exist without a mod. My personal Forest Bandit horror story is blithely strolling into my first forest hideout after having done a decent few mountain, steppe and sea raider ones. Shooting the first bandit I see resulted in like 15 mans being immediately alerted from all over, they cut down me and my crack team of hardened batmaniac skirmishers in 5 seconds flat. Now I don't do forest bandit hideouts unless it's just the boss group, plus maybe 5 dudes if I'm feeling brave.

On the one hand, I actually like that bows are scary. On the other hand, I'm much more worried when I enter a battle and see we're at the wrong end of an archer gap than I am when we're at the wrong end of a cavalry gap, and that's... maybe not great?Baronjutter posted:I don't remember archers being this deadly.

Equippable crossbows I don't know about but Vlandian crossbowmen will slaughter you if you let them.
