Game owns, go buy it.

I'm kinda toying around with making a Roman style company. Shields and scramasaxs (scramasaxi?) to stand in for gladii, and giving all the front line javelins. Problem is, I have no idea where to get scramasaxi in large quantities. In all my other games I'll see maybe 2 in markets and 1 other from bandits. Only people I ever see carrying the things with any regularity are caravan guards.

I hope they release an expansion pack someday that adds land ownership and medieval politicking etc. It doesn't need to be literally mount and blade but It would be cool to be able to stake a claim and grow in other ways besides your bank account/renown and your men's gear.

That's almost certainly going to be a thing you'll have to look to mods to cover. Devs have been pretty adamant that land ownership is not going to be a thing.

Ah, I didn't know that, I hadn't really followed on the official forums or devblogs or anything. Are they considering at least adding some modding tools?

I think proper mod tools are on their 'list of things to add if the game sells well enough to let us'. So I'm hoping to does really well so I can get my 40000 slightly different medieval weapons.

Yeah, I definitely disagree with people saying that Spearwall isn't worth it against armored opponents. Even if some Hedge Knight or whatever has enough armor to bounce off a spear forever, you're making them waste turns getting pushed around and greatly reducing their ability to bring their numbers to bear against your own front line. Area denial is great.

Another thing to keep in mind with those heavily armoured guys is that keeping them back with spearwall builds up their fatigue, especially if they pop shieldwall and get hit anyway.

My orc fighting tip is gonna seem weird as hell but... cleavers. Like Hieronymous said, one of the keys to beating orcs is their morale and the cleaver decapitate seems to do a pretty drat good job of that. I've had a couple good chain decaps of orc young that'll send 80% of the ones left fleeing. I don't know if it's confirmation bias or what, but I swear it works.

Speaking of shields, do people use kite shields? I use heaters since I don't find the extra ranged defense is worth losing the melee defense, since I try to close fairly quickly.

Well that was loving bullshit. Got a war contract to go ambush some supply caravan. Only the war camp I have to start from is in the middle of the mountains and I have to cross those and 2 loving forests and a swamp while the caravan just has to twiddle along a short bit of road. Just killed any desire I had to play for today, ugh.

There's a difference between coming back to a game to do DLC and turning around on a position they have vocally stated many times over is nowhere near their vision of the game.

(too bad that horses will forever remain a dream, despite already having a working mount system)

Just wanted to address this. There isn't a working mount system, it's actually a super hacky way of making wolfriders work. Basically, the wolfrider is one unit, and when he is killed, the game spawns an entirely new unit at half health, either the wolf or the goblin. I don't know how they coded the game exactly, but I imagine it wouldn't really be that easy make an entire new system so you can put on and take off brothers from a horse.

Well, all the chatter in this thread and watching the Skeleton King Saga of improving, I picked up my old save to plug a bit of time into it. It's about day 170ish, post Orc Crisis, so it's not really hard, but man it was fun to wade into a little orc contract and just buzzsaw through all the young. Then on the way back I hit up a necromancer lair that turned out to have like 3 geists along. Thankfully, Kalle Geist Bane lived up to his name once again :v:
