Slings are dangerous as gently caress, and would be awesome to have added.

They have slings in Viking Conquest too, so I imagine it wouldn't be a stretch to include in Bannerlord.

slings wildly don't fit the game as you'd have rag covered peasants hurtling baseball sized rocks at 200mph at your troops from 500 feet away and that would be insanely poo poo to play against. Really we should be grateful that they're only throwing the rocks. A world where looters have developed the sling is not a world I want to live in

Is there a trick to getting the relative to show up in Family Feud quest? This seems like one of the more buggier ones, it's been flaky for me multiple times. But maybe I'm missing something. -I got the quest -went and spoke to the kid -kid is in my party -go to the other town, speak to the guy -thugs are there as normal, but the kid never spawns in with me and the other NPC never triggers the quest dialogue

Looters having some kind of ranged weapon is pretty important as an equalizer otherwise it becomes even more trivial for a single person to wipe out a 20-looter stack. The ranged attack means you need to provide more targets and you can't just ride up and stab guys from 117 away vs their 80 (at least until you get some doom armor). Rocks are pretty historically accurate, fit the ragged theme of looters, and also fit the bill of "damaging if you are unarmored, weak if you have good armor".

Slings cannot launch things 200MPH, especially in the hands of someone only partially trained/experienced in using them like looters would be.

In Warband looters also had rocks, but critically only a few so you didn't have a firing squad of them open up on you and your troops when you entered range, just a few standing in the back hucking rocks while the rest got butchered.Lockback posted:Looters having some kind of ranged weapon is pretty important as an equalizer otherwise it becomes even more trivial for a single person to wipe out a 20-looter stack. The ranged attack means you need to provide more targets and you can't just ride up and stab guys from 117 away vs their 80 (at least until you get some doom armor). I broadly agree that it's a good idea on a tactical level, and it teaches the player to beware of ranged weapons when you're riding around, but the implementation could be better. Maybe change up the animation so they have to reach down to "reload" so it looks less like they're pulling rocks out their rear end and more that they're picking up a stone.

I picked this up after playing way too many hours of pre-bannerlord M&B. It's scratching that itch again but I'm getting decimated in the combat. I've leveled a bit, got clan level 1 can can lead around 50 guys but two rocks to the chest still takes 90% of my health and my horse isn't much better. Is there a way to drop the difficultly mid-game or do I have to start my save again? And does anyone have suggestions for starting out the merc business? I've just signed up with an empire but I'm either at full capacity with recruits and crawl on the map to the point I can't find anyone to join, or I'm at 10 people and I can't single-handedly win a battle like the old days. I think I'd like an "arcade" single player version with heroic battle abilities and cut or stripped down politics/smithing/trade etc.

Sounds like you should re-roll as a steppe nomad warlord, frendo More seriously, you want a horse for each man in your army in your inventory to get you moving faster on the map. As a merc, you wanna go where the action is and pick your fights. Press N on the map, select the faction you're a merc for, and then find out who they're at war with. Go to the areas near enemy major cities and be a nuisance. Another tactic is to camp inside a neutral city between warring factions and to pop out and intercept caravans or other targets of opportunity that come by.

If there's a spent arrow embedded in the ground nearby they'll go grab it automatically. As far as I can tell they won't refill from dropped quivers, though

I did a "X wants his daughter found" quest and didn't convince her to come home, so I had to murder her boyfriend. She said she'd hate me forever. I took her home to her father, he paid me, and then I noticed that I could talk to her. And when I did, I noticed I could hire her. So I did, for just a little more than her father paid for her return in the first place. That's certainly one way to punish me for killing your boyfriend.

I also think slings could have a large range from inexperienced to very experienced in terms of accuracy/rate of fire, and also would be interesting in that you couldn't use them on horseback but could use them with a shield, so they could be made into a high ammo option for infantry troops and skirmishers. Plus they totally fit the late roman period imo?

Highly recommend the character import/export mod. It'll let you export your guy and then import him into a new game worst case scenario.

When they do eventually release a patch that is not compatible with old saves, they've been letting people choose the version of the game they want to play using steam betas, so that can mitigate problems with that. Or if you ever want to go back to janky v1.0 to play as a baby, you totally can.

Sumpter horses, mules etc don't count as "horses" for the purpose of enhancing party speed on the map, they're pack animals. Try something in the next price tier up, like a midlands palfrey or saddle horse.

it's dumb that all horses (including Sumpters) are called 'horse' at the top of the tooltip, but there's a 2nd 'horse' label down at the bottom which is the one that matters
