Spear and shield seems pretty solid. How do you complete the first quest? I can't find any lords

Frog Act posted:I’ve only found one couchable lance in the game so far, the fine steel menavlion. Tons of other Spears and pikes and poo poo but none allow couching Yeah I think the problem might be that my weapon doesn't allow for it even though it's a 2 handed lance which I just assumed would I was pressing x but it didn't seem to do anything so I wasn't sure if you had to do something else

Tournaments are pretty fun and profitable in the early game. I've been able to consistently win them while betting the max all the way through and have some decent armor to show for it too

SnoochtotheNooch posted:I actually like spear and shield but im also a retard. Try shield bashing "e" just before the AI can finish an attack, you stun and can get a free overhead hit on his face. its actually p funny. No spear and shield is good, it's just the arena fights with heavily armored and shielded enemies also armed with spears are tough because they just devolve into poking each others shields for a minute then you gently caress up your block and die Yeah I've been mixing shield bashing and circle strafing to beat them. The only problem with bashing is I find sometimes they'll recover very quickly from the stun and hit you while you're swinging I wish tournaments gave skill increases

I added that pack mod but turned the difficulty up and it's kind of a nice change. I never played the first game of this and was on the fence about buying this one because I misunderstood and thought it was a FPS thing like Mordhau, but if anyone else is reading this and wondering if they should get the game, jump on it for sure. The combat is kind of janky but is really satisfying and fun. If the game was just riding around spearing raiders and winning tournaments I'd play it, never mind the huge sieges and stuff. It really is fun as gently caress

How does creating additional parties, caravans, etc work? I'm sure asking this will cause some turbonerd to freak the gently caress out because I've dared to discuss the game in the thread devoted to discussing the game, but the mechanics are pretty opaque. I gave a companion command of 40 troops and they seem to just wander around, but I can't command them or do anything. Is the idea that they just do quests and earn money and then kick it up to me or whatever? What are you supposed to do to expand?

how do you update mods in the Vortex manager? It's not immediately obvious to me and I've been loving with it for long enough that I'll just ask to see if it's a known issue or something edit: it's the tab on the left hand side that says "mods" if it's expanded and is just a little wrench if you don't. I was trying to navigate it via the dash board and downloads and poo poo, but you can only delete / add them from the wrench screen. terrorist ambulance fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Apr 8, 2020 |

Is there any real reason not to go deep into a blend of heavy infantry with tons of foot archers? Foot archers kind of gently caress up everything, including elite horse archers which are otherwise pretty difficult to deal with

How do you make workshops profitable? I built a couple that exploit the resources of the associated villages and they dont make much. Similarly my caravans dont seem to make too much. I seem to earn decent amount randoming the literally hundreds of troops I capture every day or so and selling their poo poo, but not the like millions of gold level riches I've seen some people post

Also it seems pretty obvious but cavalry only groups have a pretty tough time in sieges. I went to go snag a castle on my own with 80 top tier cav units (heavy archers, Lancers, cataphracts) figuring how bad could it be, they're heavily armored and good archers. They ended up getting bottle necked and taking hilariously heavy casualties against militia and new recruits

I've got an older computer (i7 5820K, gtx 1080, 32GB ram) and it runs battles with 1000 people at 3440x1440 with everything turned up. I've had FPS dip a bit in huge battles, but I think it honestly may be from memory leaks / lack of optimization that will get better over time. The game looks and handles pretty well

One way to play is to swim in the wake of a big army and fight the nobles who show up to fight it. The AI will often send mid-sized groups against your army but they won't attack, and just kind of circle around waiting until they build up enough numbers to attack. If you just ride out alone and fight them, it's a bit more fun / challenging, and it prevents them from building up to a point where they can challenge the army. Then you rejoin the army to siege or fight another big army or whatever. edit: everyone in the beta looks like the fat version of Mac in It's Always Sunny, it's loving hilarious

In the beta, it seems like a lot of the companions for hire have much reduced / restricted skill selections. I'm seeing agents with like, 90 in bow and 120 in two handed and no other skills.

Ravenfood posted:Played the beta for awhile and yep, archers still too good. It's not just the Fians, I get that they're supposed to be good being the Noble line and all. All of them are too good. I honestly think part of it could be fixed with AI changes. Currently their response to being charged by cavalry is just hold in place and shoot the gently caress out of the cavalry, which causes pretty heavy casualties. If they got knocked over or disrupted more by being run over or tried to retreat rather than just shooting a longbow point blank cavalry might counter them.a bit better.

Where are the saves stored for Bannerlord? Something has happened to corrupt a save and cause it to crash every time I try to "Resume game" or "Load game" meaning that I basically can't play the game anymore. Only thing I can think to do to troubleshoot is delete what I think may be the problematic save, other than just uninstall totally Edit: It's in Users/(Username)/Documents/M&B 2 Bannerlord

Yeah deleting a bunch of saves fixed it. There's some loving mod bug that causes saves to be corrupted and prevent you from opening the load game screen at all, so good luck goons, don't use those mods I guess.

installing latest update has caused the launcher to stop loading. welp edit: it's the fastdialogue mod causing it for some reason. edit 2: yeah any mods at all cause it either to not load or crash. i think i'm just going to have to bail on this until the patches are spaced out a bit more, losing saves and not being able to play is a bummer. game loving rules and I'm excited to see a more finished product when it comes out terrorist ambulance fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Apr 17, 2020 |

What's the best way to take a settlement to start your own kingdom? And then defend it? I just get stomped out by huge armies whenever I go in on an established kingdom.

So when you get a kingdom, what are you actually supposed to do to grow it? I'm trying to charm and lure other lords out but it's slow going. So is hiring and training troops and building parties, feel like I'm m.k issing something
