Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

[flabbyjack]

I have like 1.5 million gold. So EZ to make $$.
Step 1) Fight nobles
Step 2) Sell their horses

Wish siege engines would work and soldiers wouldn't get stuck not climbing ladders. AFAIK it's not in the known issues list.

I haven't had siege engines bug out yet, but I've definitely had some issues with odd ladder placements when storming the walls, with the AI refusing to use one of them or otherwise getting stuck at the top. I haven't done enough sieges at the same locations to determine whether or not it randomly occurs, or whether certain ladders just don't work properly at the moment.

It's way too easy. I wish the merchants were more cutthroat and didn't pay several thousands for a tier 3 fur-armband. Wish there were a mod for it, maybe put a max buy for 500-600.

Found a nice little mod on Nexus. It's called Combat and Movement Improvements.

It basically slows down the game, makes armor useful, some weapons are better suited for different tactics and enemies. It also increases the space soldiers take, the thing Lithium Flower was complaining about. So far it feels good in-game. Suddenly my shieldwall was holding, even against a cavalry charge. Another aspect of the mod is that archers will fire at much longer ranges at a higher angle, which looks cool when arrows rain on your enemy, or well... you.

Feature list:

Not tried a siege yet, hopefully it won't mess it up too bad... but you never know.

Very interesting, he changed .xml so it does not affect libraries or future patches.

I was looking at these files because I wanted to change the use of the spear (the fucking peasants using the fucking knife instead of the fucking long thing) but I couldn't find anything

Charm in 1.0.9 is bugged. Talking to tutorial Headman gives instant huge boost of ~30 points.

Check this: talk to any lord, exchange 1 dinar and you will receive charm points.

Can you do anything with freed peasants other than turn them into shitty troops?

 

[Spectacle]

Anyone figured out how to make bank with workshops yet? I made a carpenter's in a town that has a village that produces hardwood and the bloody thing is making me 5-7k a day. The town isn't particularly prosperous, either. Meanwhile my other 5 workshops are making between fuck all and like 500. So that got me wondering if the villages' production influences it any but I haven't tested it yet. A lot of villages also produce crap that you can't work in a shop, so maybe it's something else.

I believe that workshops do in fact buy their raw materials from the town market, so anything that's produced in local villages will likely be plenty available at a good price, for high profits.

My character is Honorable and Valorous, has about 100ish Charm skill.

How the hell do you even get any of this? My charm has never budged a point.

Seems easy way is to talk to every lord you run across and gift them each 1 gold.

You can put into garrison of your castle :D

You can donate them as soldiers to your faction so you get influence.
After joining faction donating prisoners to dungeons is also a nice way to get influence.

So, until I join a faction, all I can do is accept jobs from villages and chase looters/bandits around the map in groups of 5-13?

Given the list above, what are the best types of companions in your opinion? Scouts, healers? Is a smith worth hiring?

You can also clear bandit hideouts and trade between cities. Also you don't need to join the faction fully, you can just be their mercenary captain.

 

[AgentFransis]

Yes trade can be very lucrative. Also you can compete in tournaments along the way which is fun and potentially lucrative.

 

[ArchAngel]

Also not being part of faction means you are not at war with anyone so your workshops don't get lost to enemy faction and your caravans are not being attacked by lords.

 

[SmartCheetah]

I'm waiting for some decent mods. Is it possible to add more troop tiers? I mean, something after legionaries for example? Is there a cap for a troop line?

the companions with abilities that are partywide, problem is it's not so clear which is which
Roguery and tactics for es should be only party leader
Heal, engineering and scouting should be partywide (when they have the role assigned to them)
high trading and stewardship for the caravan leaders

Can someone please explain to me what the fuck Garios thinks he is doing?

• Scout helps your party detect tracks, get information from tracks, spot armies and units from farther away. This clan role should be given to a companion with a high scout skill to get the most benefit.
• Engineer helps your army raise siege engines and take enemy fiefs. This clan role should be given to someone with a high engineering skill level. If you don’t want to raise your own level, simply find a companion with a high engineering level and give them this clan role!
• Surgeon benefits from a companion with a high medicine skill. A better surgeon means that your troops have a higher survival chance and a quicker healing rate if they do get wounded.
• Quartermaster is related to stewardship skill. You should give it to a companion with a high stewardship skill. You should probably give this role to your own character as they will more than likely have the highest stewardship skill. Quartermaster directly relates to how big your party can be and as we all know size matters. A high stewardship skill means a better quartermaster which means a bigger party.

 

[Zariusz]

So did they add some of that unique background companions? From that unused bannerlord content list on reddit.

 

[AgentFransis]

I created a caravan with a trade 100 companion. At first it was just draining 200 a day in wages but after a few weeks it started netting a few hundred a day. I also have a brewery in a south empire city that's doing around 200 a day and a wool weaver what's barely profitable. Will try switching the weaver to something else.

Well then forest bandits are orks

 

[Zanzoken]

What are everyone's thoughts on quality vs quantity of troops? At first it was looking to me like quantity was a better approach, because all units have same HP now and I've seen Looters kill Sea Raiders, upper tier infantry, etc. The gaps between upper- and lower-tier units are not nearly as wide as they were with Warband.

However my current force consists of the following...

Legionary X 80
Palatine Guard X 80
Elite Cataphract X 40

... and they are pretty bad ass. Battle advantage is still a thing, but I recently demolished a 450-troop army of Battanians and only suffered about 15% losses. The only downside is they are expensive as fuck to train and maintain... burn rate is about 3k gold per day but I have three caravans running which are pretty much covering it right now.
