How do you get into Mountain Blade, if you've never played it before for more than a couple minutes? Like how do you make a good character and stuff

Don't worry too much about party-wide skills, since there are characters that specialize in all of them that you can pick up. Trade is a useful skill for the early game, since it's one of the best ways to make money early on.

Crossbows are best for fighting on foot, javelins for fighting on horse, and bows are about equally good for either. Lances are ineffective on foot, short weapons are ineffective on horseback.

Yeah, just pick whichever ones sound good to you and you'll be fine. I like to give all my guys leadership and training and at least a point or two of prisoner management for the ransom money but you can't really go wrong.

I generally max out a lot of the facial sliders and then pick a funny hair and moustache combo.

Hang around with the Khergits since you get all horsemen and an insane party speed. Make most of your money from pillaging towns and attacking caravans

you have a khergit/manhunter/swadian knight murderball you pick up from your castle when you need to chase some fuckers, rhodok sergeants and huscarls for castle murdering.

e: also save every peasant woman you can. sword sisters own.

I liked it a lot but it has bad performance issues during I've of the final main storyline battles involving like 100 boats. I'd say it's worth 750 of you like warband

Looting is the most important skill for money since it's the difference between getting the shittiest pick of the litter when you murder enemies and the best. Game got a million times easier after I realized that, all my officers were rolling around in ballin tempered axes and perfect armor that i stole from the corpses of sea raiders for free

And then after they were kitted out I started selling that poo poo to merchants and they just couldn't keep up with how much money I was making GBS threads out it was great

I used recaptcha to name mine, just hit refresh until something that looks like a name comes up

This technique gave me SCATS DOMINO and DOCTOR REFUEL and JESTER CLEVELAND

Party speed is the #1 stat you should be on top of at all times otherwise you just end up chasing down an opposing party across the entire loving map because you only out-pace them by 0.1 of a speed unit, and while you try to do that a rapestack of 800 heavy units that is somehow 2x faster than you controlled by an opposing lord suddenly locks onto you with laser-beam precision and ruins your poo poo.
