>The game is not out and I don't know if we've solved this problem, but one of the big challenges is to have events that are generated by dynamic sandbox events, and are good strategies for the NPCs to adopt, but that also make sense to the player. An example of what we want to avoid, from Warband: we introduced feasts, which were a way that factions could spend resources to repair relations between lords that were damaged by the ebb and flow of war. The problem, though, was that the strategically ideal time to hold a feast was when you were in the middle of a war, which didn't seem right from a narrative perspective. So there are a lot of moving parts in the game, and we're trying to get them to work together in a way that makes sense from both a strategy and an RPG perspective.

In my save swadia and vaegirs are constantantly swapping lords back and forth. A lord from swadia will go to vaegirs and a lord from vaegirs will go to swadia and it keeps happening,even the marshal Deglan switched sides, I'm wondering why that could be.
Swadia wiped out the nord faction at took all it's lands with my help and some of the lords from nords joined swadia and some went to vaegirs, so I'm wondering if an excess of lords in both factions is what's causing this

Relationship between kings and lords hit bottom zero. It is old problem relationships tend to reduce with large wars significantly because events (granting conquered fiefs what happen much in big wars) bring more total negate relationship points then positive. Special relationship upping event (feasts) are to weak in the effect. Near zero relationship lords can't improve their standing so they end up running from one king to another non stop.

The ultimate mode will always be battle, no pussy respawns which means you're always on edge, tactics and planning is everything and every kill has a significant impact. When it's nearly over and the last men are battling it out while the rest of the team watches, that's some intense stuff.

i've been so addicted to this game, i regret not getting into it earlier. im still playing vanilla warband and have sunk so many hours into it. i posted in the last thread my love of the war cleaver, i take it back. pic related.
i've become a king thats friendly with the king of nords and the king of the vaegers, although that doesnt stop them from going to war with me claiming land that never belonged to them. i have replaced the swadians and my main (and only) town is dihirm. i give 1 fort and whatever connected town to my vassals that i make sure are related and keep them positive with constant feasts. i have about 8 vassals at this point. and like 10 sitting inside my castle waiting for me to choose one of them, but i refuse to talk to them and needlessly reduce my standing with them by 10 and then see them come right back.
the nords and the rhodoks have claimed the rest of the previous swadian territory, but i hope to eventually claim all of swadian territories and take alittle more each time someone picks a fight with me.
once i get a second city, can i give it and all of its connected towns to a single guy without the other vassals getting progressively jealous? or will just granting it cause jealousy. how does this work? as long as a vassal has a terroitory their standing will stay put? because i noticed a vassal steadily deteriorating because he only owned a town and no fort, while my other vassals had forts. so now i give each vassal a fort and its connected towns, but dont want to face the same problem as soon as i start giving cities to people.
will the swadians ever come back? it says their king has left the realm.
the way i work my legion is i upgrade units, and when they hit the max level, i drop them into a town or fort unless theyre cavalry. i always try to keep 40 non cavalry, leaving me with 100 maxed cavalry units (usually 70 swadian knights, and 30 mercenary cavalry), which has been enough to dominate most enemies. during war i switch to all cavalry, which seems to increase my map speed so i can catch people setting my towns on fire.
i keep my helpers, like jeremus on horseback, all working towards level 4 riding so i can give them heavy horses, and equipped with polearm+shield and holy shit the AI is good with polearms. i've seen bunduk 1-shot an arab marmaduke on many occasions. and i have behetare steppe man with a polearm, but he mostly rides around with a bow and arrow, and he's like a panzer tank.

I was also addicted to single player, it was a thing I'd play then delete my save file to stop myself from wasting any more time with that shit I hate yet keep playing, repeating every now and then. Vanilla is a cursed game for me, whenever I was determined to beat it once and for all and kick the habit, I'd run into this glitch where 80% of fiefs would end up having no lord at all after factions got mishmashed and the kings stopped awarding land for some reason, and tons of fiefless lords would roam around with just a small amount of recruits. Happened with Diplomacy as well. It just throws me out of the moment and makes me realize what I'm playing is truly a piece of shit no one should dump their time into.
My guide for beating vanilla and other modules quick:
>Get good at horseback combat, exploit bot behavior, get a military hammer because it's the best 1h weapon.
>Travel just with companions at first to level them up, give them hammers to capture prisoners for $.
>Buy the most profitable enterprise in every town.
>INT should be your primary stat, CHA your secondary, but get 10 STR first to use the siege crossbow. Level up your surgery, tactics, trainer and engineer, leave the rest to companions. Pretty important as the leader of the party gets a +4 bonus to maxed party skills. 14 surgery means you have an undying army, 14 tactics means you can have a lot more troops in the field than your enemies and allows you to take on massive armies, 14 engineer means instant sieges but I suppose you don't need it that high.
>Use books to skip leveling when you can, but only read when you're at the end.
>Go around checking if towns/castles have lord prisoners and rescuing them for honor and relations. You can also ask for jobs from lords at war and they may ask you to rescue one of their relatives. Avoid rescuing from factions at war because it's fucking hard to do as a hobo with a stick.
>Level up your companions STR so they can become powerful archers, except for the utility one(s) for stuff like pathfinding and scouting.
>An army of knights will now decimate everything on the field with minimal casualties when commanded and grouped properly.
>An army of sharpshooters can be mustered against castles and towns to rain hell on the troops standing there and win the siege with few casualties.
>You don't have to defend in sieges because it's always better to run over the invaders outside with your rape train of knights.
>Refuse to release captured lords because fuck it.

The fun in man vs. bots is to try to coordinate and test tactics against them. It's pretty fun, especially when the wave is composed 100% of sailors and you make a line of musketoon-armed players.
As for siege I'm not a big fan either, but it's the only two servers I can get a decent ping and that are populated enough so there's not much to do. I haven't played in months anyway, the game really is dying these days.

huh. i mean, the realm is in constant war and i noticed that vassals have trouble recruiting and dont go very far, so if theres alot of war, having many looted villages would severely limit their ability to regroup. could that be the problem?
973b73 No.14225551
>>14225518
Looting and the drop in prosperity caused by it is natural and a game feature, the glitch I experienced seems to happen after much defecting and new lords coming in and the king stops awarding lands from the lords who left. I know this for a fact as I'd browse the list of lands where you'd find the name of the lord for each one, but most of them had none.
fa5955 No.14225572
>>14225551
interesting. i do notice alot of vassals being kicked out for traitors. this problem is probably due to the very difficult vassal managment. its VERY hard to keep them happy. other kings seem to keep vassals with no land which only builds resentment, which probably causes them to not be rewarded, and it just spirals downward.

So I've finally started really getting into a campaign playing Prophesy of Pendor, and I have to know if there are some quality of life mods I'm missing out on. Stuff like levling up seems rather one sided. So much shit levels off intelligence, while only a few things go to each other stat. It's also impossible to make your character better without severely fucking over your strategic abilities like leadership and surgery. Also horse combat is pretty iffy at times, where I can't ever get my character to swing in the direction I want him to with any expediency. Are there some mods around that mildly improve the base game from this stuff?

I find the most fun in the game going from nothing to having a warband of knights. Problem is I found a way to break the game doing tournaments so while I am still around the first few levels I already have enough gold to buy excellent gear and have an army of elite troops.
7374b1 No.14248751
>>14248364
You should become a lord when you have the power, wealth and contacts to support the state that you will create. When you think about conquering a castle or a town you have to ask yourself "The ones who own this will come take it back, can I stop them?" If the answer is yes, go ahead.
You must be able to hold off the army of whoever attacks you to take back the territory you stole until you can secure long lasting piece with that kingdom. After this is done you must ensure other kingdoms don't attack you, and then building up your power will be easier. Your first piece of land will probably be the hardest, because it'll be you, alone against an entire kingdom. You have to raise the biggest army you can, and start waging war to expand. When you expand you can get lords which will further increase your army for "free" (as far as giving away territory goes), allowing you to wage larger scale wars until you own Calradia.
There's something a lot of people do and it is taking the territory of a fallen or falling kingdom, but it's a double edged sword because when a kingdom is almost dead all of the vassals will be in the same town so their defense force can be huge. If you win it's almost guaranteed their last territory isn't the ancestral land of any other kingdom so the other kingdoms will only declare war on you if you don't have enough right to rule.
One time I managed to get in that situation where nobody would ever attack me so I used my stability and peace to develop the town I had and its 2 surrounding villages as far as I could, then I built a 4000 strong army with my money. Conquering the world was smooth sailing from then.

They get hit often unlike horsemen, even if you have huscarls, they have less armor than knights and get hit in the head while cavalry can get hit in the legs, chest but mostly in the heavily armored beast, which means a lot less casualties.

No experience doesn't stack this way. You need to level troops. But with full trainer companions party low tier troops are trained all at once. You take 100 recruits over night all 100 become militia, next day they are next tier and so on. Only for knights experience numbers are not big enough so they are trained in small batches, 10 or so. Nevertheless training is OP. It allows you rise new elite army in the matter of days. To train knights trainer needs to be high level than previous tier of troops aka 22 level and up. After you hit this stage you win the game war becomes easy.

I'll be severely disappointed if it doesn't have group controls and flag placement for direct movement like mount and blade has though, considering most people can't read topography off a map.
I've recently started playing gekokujo daimyo after stopping my gekokujo campaign a long time ago. Happy to know my old technique still works
>Gather 40-60 hatamoto gunners
>Gather 50-80 elite spearmen or nobori bearers
>In the case of flat terrain with enemy far away, gunners in loose formation, 3 rows deep. Spearmen behind them ready to charge out if enemy approaches melee range. This technique also works if enemy is turtling (select both infantry and archers, advance manually until gunners are in range to start the slaughter). Personally intercept enemy cav if cav is too expensive for your blood
>If hills and enemy is coming, infantry to the frontal low lands in 3-5 rows deep, gunners top of the hill in 2 rows, tight formation to allow the wing gunners unobstructed shooting
>Take on armies double your men with no problems provided you check tactical maps occasionally and retreat before enemy's additional waves reach you as your gunner can run dry.
>Restart the fight with fresh ammo and less men on the other side
I've taken on around 500 men armies with 130 men or so with a technique with 3 casualties to the spearmen from lords charging in.
