Voxx posted:you get separated from them and need to find them in a few days (based on distance) or be considered a deserter. it's kinda hosed since if you do it as a opening to the game you have no gear or anything to protect yourself with on the trek back. you can pony up some money for a faster horse to make it much safer. Feel like my first lesson needs to be "don't go freelancer in the faction leader's party" because any proper fights they get in will only be when they form their own army. Second lesson is Sturgia's noble line doesn't get horses till way later than you'd expect. Finally got Raganvad's loyalty high enough just through passive gain to get me to be a bodyguard. Eventually got my popularity high enough that I could mutiny and take like all but 8 of his troops with me, and *also* keep all my equipment. Are you supposed to get something for days served because that counter seemed broken in my game?

Yes; you now get cutscene decisions for all kids at ages 1, 2, 4(?), 14, and 16. Where you decide some stats and some get RNGed. This means that you siblings start about PC level 1+ stats whilst still level 1, and your kids start at around lvl 4 stats at lvl 1 and the decision scenes themselves are hilarious especially for baby models. Also, whilst the graphics aren’t anything amazing boy a javelin to the face is gory every time and looks hilarious. I got 800 damage on a galloping horse coming at me with one and the horse went flying, along with the rider.

Currently, these requirements are not configurable but in the future, they will be.

One thing that sucks in the vanilla game is that the main quest line is still 1.60 just stupid- the dragon banner gives you no advantage whatsoever, and just starts “lol all factions ally against you into an extermination war” timer - it’s like Taleworlds has no idea what to do with it. It would be nice if the DB actually did something, like give a free 15M denar starting fund / X amount of extra income, loyalty bonus to settlements or free conversion of X amounts of lords so you could jumpstart a kingdom but noooo that would be too fun. Right now for all kingdom starting purposes it is literally easier to just not bother with the drat thing.

If you play sandbox you don't get two brothers and a sister though. The main quest is super, super dumb. There isn't a way to console command out of it, I tried last night when I failed and was war-declared on by three kingdoms. Thankfully I could peace with one right away, had to fight the other two for a bit, now we're back at peace.

You can just not complete the quest. It times out after ~800 or 900 days or so. I might be a pretty slow player tho cuz it's happened a few times to me.

terrorist ambulance posted:if you do complete it, how long does it take to devolve to total war? does completing the quests where you sabotage the cultist's efforts meaningfully slow down the speed of its advance? Each phase of the quest resets the timer. Getting the banner parts is 10-year timer (700 days) then assembling the banner (meaning you select a side, imperial or anti-imperial and whether you do it by your Kingdom or by giving ut ti existing claiming) resets it to 2700 days (35? Years) and the conspiracy timer can be Slowed down by making missions that occur Every once a while - and one of them currently crashes the game So you have to skip that- Im not that far yet But I think once you complete the furst part (take over 2/3 of all imperial citues) and proceed to the forced Kill-everyone-war the clock resets again. Logically thinking it is actually a somewhat solid framework to hook the Kingdom building plot in IF it was used to make it easier, not harder- currently it just is completely upside down. Out of the top of my head simple dragon banner Buffs could be: -x amount of free clan conversions -X amount of money/money per day -massive loyalty buff to settlements / removibg culture issues in settlement -extra recruiting capability per town/more noble line recruits -extra clan party slots -ability to vassal individual clans/kings to your side after beating the beheezus out of them in peace treaty But instead theyve just… decided to ignore it.

I got stuck in a siege on makeb i think because a defender got stuck in the base of a wall tower that had a nonfunctional door, so it was just 300+ of my troops piling up against said door screaming.

It's pretty whack that if you manage to kill every noble in an enemy faction, a new faction called "Faction's Generals" just appears out of nowhere with infinite NPCs leading armies of 50-70 with elite troops that also spawn infinitely.

What would the rationale for implementing something like that even be? Some sort of leftover internal debug feature? I honestly have no idea. On an unrelated note, what is everyone's experience with prison breaks? From what I've read since they got implemented, people find them awful compared to Warband, because apparently you only get to free ONE out of any number of present prisoners, who will then promptly charge the town guards and get themselves knocked out. I'm asking because I cannot even get that to work - When I pick the conversation option that is supposed to turn the prison guard hostile, he verbally responds as expected... but then stays neutral (and thus invincible). I'm not an enemy of the faction I am trying to steal prisoners from, if that makes any difference (In Warband, it didn't).

The whole noble system seems weird. Does it matter who you marry in terms of traits? Or is just to create an army of mini-me's to keep playing? And the courtship is like...3 questions. Definitely not working as intended (I hope)

I guess the devs thought it was unlikely that any player would ever murder all the lords in one faction. Too much lord-murder for Mount&Blade: Murderlord.

I honestly have no idea. they are pretty tough and you have to have specialized civilian equipment. some perks are also highly useful, movement speed, 1h, probably should have a small weapon because it's mostly inside small hallways, and there's some bandit perks that can help too. To do prison break you have to goto the lord's hall screen from the map, then the prison and click the prison break button.

Considering the hostile AI lords always outnumber useful friendly nobles by at least 10-1 and have unlimited amount of free armies instantly available (their starting stack after feeding is around 75 dudes, mostly recruits But 5 of those stacks and boom new enemy Army outta nowhere) murdering everyone is literally the only reasonable player assumption to take over meaningful amounts of territory.

I think I'm done with my latest playthrough. I went through enemy armies and lords like a hot knife through butter but their constant raids on my villages finally spurred my town into rebellion. I had stopped tons of raids and did plenty of quests for the town and village notables. There ought to be a way for me to spend my money to boost the town's loyalty.

So killing every Vlandian noble not only made the Vlandians invent a new faction called "Vlandian Generals" with an infinite supply of insta-spawning pseudo nobles complete with armies, it also caused every other faction to do so as well. Riding through Sturgian lands, there were like 20 new "Sturgian Generals" armies running around in addition to the normal Sturgian armies. They really have not improved the end game at all in the 10 years they have been developing this game. It's too bad because the basic gameplay is great, the battles are awesome, but they just keep loving around with the dumb rear end smithing and economy instead of creating an end game worth playing. Such a waste.
