Yes, the game has been in a very long dev cycle, but thats neither here nor there. This is the state the game, regardless of that fact. Yes, it should be in a better place but it isn't. But they aren't saying that this is the final product. If you aren't enjoying the combat and early game stuff --- then don't play right now. Kingdom management stinks, trading stinks, dialogue isn't finished, there are a hundred in depth mechanics that aren't resolved. Especially late game. So, yeah, if you aren't willing to mod out what you don't like or just bypass it completely --- it's going to suck. In the games defense it is easily moddable, and patched frequently.

I'm not saying the game is finished. I'm saying addressing the "problem" of caravans earning their large initial investment back in several months time before addressing the issue of 100 gold being able to be turned instantly into 59k was an incredibly dumb development decision. Software dev is triage and they are worried about a stubbed toe while ignoring a sucking chest wound. If you disagree with my criticism of the prioritization of dev resources here go ahead. But please stop addressing claims I never made, such as "this game isn't in beta" or "this game doesn't get patched frequently" or "this is the end experience of the game".

No joke about the smithing, I was puzzled before because people were getting outrageous sums for churning out garden forks on beta, while I was getting peanuts for level 6 stuff on main. Now that the beta build is main I'm getting 50K for two-handers and the tournament prizes I kept before the nerf are going for 70 - 80K.

I think the point I'll make is that even from release 2 weeks ago I feel like the game has made several steps I don't like. Specifically, at launch, you could very quickly and easily grind up your soldiers on looters- simulated battles gave 8x more experience than fought battles. They changed that, so it takes an unreasonable amount of dead looters to get max tier troops, who frankly are weakened enough from Warband that it is debatable if it's even worth the investment. What was a 2 or so hour exercise to level up replacement high-level troops from fighting in battles is now a horrific grind. The early game was about focusing on getting enough money through quests and selling bandit gear to grind up enough to start getting workshops and caravans. Not only have they now made your caravans weaker, they've deliberately (or perhaps it's just a bug) made them weaker than all the other AI caravans around- your caravans, regardless of the companion you put in charge, they still have 20 fewer troops than all other caravans. Workshops, yeah, at launch they were hideously broken, those are fine to be nerfed. They've made high-level armor extraordinarily expensive to the point it barely spawns at all, ever. I think I'm going to put the game down for a while, I'm still optimistic- the game at least is moddable enough that you can un-grind it if you want- but I'm hoping they reverse some of these decisions, or at least add more ways to circumvent them.

People need to stop acting like this is the same small company with a shoestring budget that created the original M&B. It's not, and having any sort of mild criticism doesn't need "IT'S BETA HURRRR" like it's somehow the year 2002 and we don't know how video games work.

The price of javelins is part of an (overly) complicated economic system where the cost of weapons ties into the prosperity of settlement that can spawn it and changing the prices will change how much of which weapons are produced where. They hiked the price in 1.1 with the goal of controlling the spawn rate, with the side effect that high level smiths make even more absurd amounts of cash. The way the entire procedural economy is linked with the availability of your gear tiers is a system in need of work and with a lot of weird-rear end side-effects, but it's clearly quite complex and some designer is going to need to spend time on finding a systemic fix. The AI ignoring caravans, in contrast, is probably a straight-forward scripting bug somewhere that some engineer fixed before lunch. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised that a company doing triage ended up doing the AI fix first. You can argue that caravans should be designed differently but the person assigned to fixing AI scripting issues is not going to go off have a big discussion on caravan risk-vs-reward with the design department when that department is handing them a bug saying "AI parties are ignoring caravans".

OGS-Remix posted:These are really cool. Hopefully the game adds dyes or something so you can color coordinate your army. Didn't they have dyes in Mount & Blade? Thanks! The banner editor does let you set two colors for your clothing and the one your troops wear. The primary color of your clothes is set by the primary of the banner's background and your secondary is set by the main color of the object you place last in your layer order. That doesn't mean your clothes HAVE to match stuff the banner though, you can set a huge square over the actual background and use that, and have the last layer be an invisible dummy element with size 0x0 to set the secondary you want.

I assume he got captured by bandits or something but I've been slaughtering them left and right around that town and nothing. Any idea how to find out exactly where he is? It's a bug, you can get them back by kicking them from the clan on the clan screen. Then you just rehire them at the newest settlement (including villages). It can be expensive if they have good gear, and you don't get the troops back, so install the mod that fixes it if you want to send companions on missions. Mechanically, I think they are actually getting kidnapped by bandits. I sent a guy to clear a hideout, and they were disappeared to Ain Baliq. When I later cleared out that hideout, I found the troops I sent with him as prisoners. I know for sure because it was a bunch of weird mercs and small faction troops. It's probably just a bugged/unfinished mechanic. Ravenfood posted:This is frustrating, yes. I just married a wife and took her armor but its weird that all my companions are basically wearing trashbags and I'm leading tons of elite archers, cavalry, and infantry. I think stewardship perks don't do anything yet. If you put an engineer as governor they give you a ton of extra build points.

Another way to get them back if you own any fiefs is to assign them as a governor. They'll appear at the assigned place and you can take them with you there. You still lose the troops but at least you don't have to spend cash rehiring them.

Looks like a new beta patch dropped a couple hours ago with a bunch of changes. Stuff that stands out most at a glance is a bunch of performance improvements and fixes so the AI properly uses siege tower and rams instead of crowding around ladders.
