Getting better, but still not there. For me, it has riding around on a horse chopping up fleeing peasants, so it's already good.

Hey, So is there any way to increase leadership reasonably other than leading armies? Does that mean you can't really gain leadership until you become a vassal?

I think super high morale and buying drinks for your men in the bar are the other options.

Delamore posted:Basically same story here, giving it another shot now so wondering if there's any QoL mods I should pickup or any issues I should look out for? There's a bannerlord tweaks mod that reduces the worst parts of the grind and leveling, but I could not get it to work. It's really not necessary, but with that said there are some leveling curve changes in 1.5.7 which are supposed to help. I'm only playing 1.5.6 atm, so I'm not sure how effective they are.

So, looking at wikis isn't helping - I'm trying to find a one handed polearm for use whilst mounted up, something with decent swing/length so that I can use bow/arrow and polearm/shield Are there one handed polearms that cover this? I've only been able to see two handed so far. Also, subsequent question - wanderers are randomly generated, right? If they all happen to die, that's it, no more are made after initial worldgen? The world I made just had 4 female hirable NPCs and I wonder if there's a limit, or if re-rolling is a thing.

I might swap to sword and shield for a siege or something but it's not necessary in open combat.

Out of boredom poked around to see if any Napoleonic mod is in the works. Just one. But they are doing single and multiplayer guys. We've not got a coder, but that is cool we making assets! Going to be a long long wait.

Personally I'd just go with a two-handed polearm and have three modes: bow/arrow, shield only (in transit), and polearm-only (whip it out once you're close enough to use it). The shield won't do you much good while you're swinging anyway.

Wasn't iron super rare on the island, so having an actual sword and even halfway decent armor would make you invulnerable against the peasants with their wooden stick weapons? I'm not learned, but didn't they also use heavy capes/cloaks to catch arrows and function in a similar fashion to shields in the western nations? Edit: I think all of that ties into sword design, as well. The fragile, curved samurai style swords were designed for slicing up hordes of unwashed farmers. Western sturdy stabby swords were fine for chopping up farmers, but also had a bit more utility against someone in armor. litany of gulps fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Jan 28, 2021 |

If there is a pole arm that exists for your requirements, no one has noticed it because it probably has terrible stats damage wise. My suggestion is learn to block manually and get yourself a second quiver of arrows and a rhomp. Unless that’s been nerfed.

I'm not learned, but didn't they also use heavy capes/cloaks to catch arrows and function in a similar fashion to shields in the western nations? I mean, Samurai didn't really fight against hordes of unwashed farmers, same way European medieval armies didn't have conscripted peasant rabble in them. You also have to consider that just like in most other places on planet, the sword was a status symbol, a personal defence weapon when travelling or otherwise off-duty and in actual battle mostly a backup weapon (though in close combat, a shorter sword or a dagger, both of which the samurai had, would often be more useful if you were already at the point where you could not use your primary weapon). Up until the the Sengoku Jidai I'm pretty sure the Samurai mostly fought as mounted archers, and on foot wielded two-handed polearms like the naginata or its predecessors if they did not use bows. At this time there were relatively few non-Samurai in armies, and the armies were small. Come the Sengoku Jidai when warfare becoems endemic and increeases greatly in scope and scale, you began seeing large numbers of non-Samurai added to the armies, the Ashigaru who are often characterized as peasant draftees, but in reality kind of ran the gamut from that to full-time professionals, with the most common thing probably being like a part-time semi-professional (who practiced farming or some trade outside of the campaigning season to sustain themselves). It's here you began to see some of the warlords introducing shock cavalry tactics instead and alongside the more traditional mounted archery, as well as massed formations of drilled footmen armed with pikes, bows and eventually matchlock muskets. I don't really have a good answer for why shields don't seem to have been* used (they were very much used in China and Korea), though obstacles, barricades and various types of deployable cover were common. Perhaps a part of the reason is thatthe era of large-scale, high-intensity warfare in Japan corresponds with a rapid development of battlefield tactics that resembled contemporary European pike and shot tactics where two-handed polearms and missile weapons dominated the battlefield. *And it seems they were. Voyager I posted:Some quick googling suggests that, in fact, they did, and the idea that they didn't is a western pop-culture misunderstanding. Yeah, that makes sense. It's probably a consequence of extrapolating the tactics and weaponry of the Sengoku Jidai too far backwards in time. Randarkman fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Jan 28, 2021 |

That's the big one. Even paper armour could do a fairly decent job of deflecting arrows. Heavier samurai armour made out of leather and iron would be even more effective.

In the game logic it's a good choice, the water will cut down on charge damage from cavalry quite well. Still won't prevent them from being slaughtered by arrows, though.

They are actually updating fast enough that it's hard for modders to keep up because most updates still break mods. It's not that I want them to go slower, but I am looking forward to when it's Good Enough to have fewer, more substantive patches so that the mod scene can get healthier again. I have actively avoided going back to Warband because I have largely managed to get used to the new game's combat feel and (especially) troop controls, but I have a hankerin' for some full conversion mods.

I feel really lovely posting for tech support here, but I played 80 hours last April on Bannerlord, and it worked like a charm on my brother's c. 2018 hand-me-down computer. Now, on the very same system, almost a year later, the launcher is crashing on start through Steam. I've tried reinstalling, updating my graphics drivers, double-checking my firewalls and virus protection programs, and verifying file integrity through Steam, but I still can't play. Anyone have any tips? thank you very much edit: thanks everyone, I think it's just that my OS is a POS; an update may have have pushed my CPU into obsolescence DasNeonLicht fucked around with this message at 07:02 on Jan 31, 2021 |

There might be a crash logs folder at C:\ProgramData\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\crashes, although others have mentioned this not existing. I haven't had to debug crashes, so I'm not sure. That might have some details. It's also possible something is logged in the windows event viewer. Maybe in Window Logs > Applications or possibly System when it happens.
