wearing a lampshade posted:whats a good way to identify whats responsible for crashing? i found the logs in programdata but its kinda hard to parse The BetterExceptionWindow mod helped me debug what mods were crashing things. I never did find decent logs although there were some logging mode options that could be enabled in the mod options for some. The logs were put in the user_name/bannerlord/logs/mods.... (something like that) folder on windows.

The game is in a pretty good state right now compared to initial early access. Lots of QoL features and most of everything works. They fixed pathing in sieges which was my main hang up for playing previously.

I haven't tried it myself but here's a reddit post where the poster talks about siege AI in the latest build: https://reddit.com/r/mountandblade/comments/ox22yo/161_patch_is_the_first_proper_siege_update_and/ quote:Patch 1.6.1 (beta branch) doesn't seem to big in terms of an update, but I feel like for sieges, this is the first proper update for them. Maybe there is some more work under the hood not shown on the patch notes or the "small" fixes they have done generally have helped the AI to work so much more efficiently. there's also an imgur album at the link

They're still pretty bad at climbing ladders though. Both regular and siege tower edit: disregard that I guess, I don't play the beta

The horse combat in this game feels so good compared to warband imho, they really nailed it with that. I will be honest though after doing a few legit runs my favourite thing to do now is just cheat myself to being a lot more survivable and just single handedly taking down armies 4 times my size. If this were a strategy game I'd basically be doing the attack move technique we all know and love.

I urge anyone using a platter drive to upgrade. It's been years since SSDs became very affordable.

Yeah, the necessary response to that question is just a blanket Yes at this point. Even if it's not true, it's for their own damned good.

For some reason, block detection just doesn't work during sieges. Pretty annoying. The game really needs a "restart battle" button.

So I've been playing in mostly Sandbox mode (and probably will continue to do so until they make the main quest waaay less annoying) and I have to say, starting off is rough. The looters and bandits are far too numerous at the start of the game, especially when you are moving from town to town to city just trying to build a party. I always prefer to play ironman mode, but the beginning is just too punishing without a bit of save scumming after a 15 stack of bandits ambush me and my three recruits out of nowhere over and over again. Once I have 20ish dudes it's pretty much smooth sailing for the rest of the playthrough, but first I have to get there without going broke from being captured and having to rebuild again. Is there anything I'm missing regarding this? I would prefer not to have to lower the difficulty too much, I have the normal combat AI and no death enabled, but aside from that everything is on realistic. Not completely opposed to using a mod either if others are having this issue...

Dont think ive been on realistic, but usually a good idea to pick riding + bow backgrounds during character creation. Or riding + spear. A fast horse goes a long way to soloing looters.

As long as you have a horse and range, you can constantly stay out of the range of looters in the fight, kill a few, then retreat to rearm. After you become geared and skilled, killing 20 looters solo is no problem.

Their armour piercing rocks are still a danger on occasion. I'm ashamed to admit how often I get domed by looters because I thought I could charge in and slaughter them solo when my horse and I are fully armoured. One random pitchfork and suddenly I'm copping heat from everyone.

This is why throwing weapons are superior. Grab 3 and then a shield. You will block a lot of rocks with your shield out non stop. Then hit X and stab them with your jav.

Looters can throw rocks like Balearic slingers, it's wild. I would ride circles around the group until they exhausted their rocks, then pick them apart slowly. But I never played on realistic.

First few fights are tricky. The way I do it is to have my recruits hold position, then ride up to harass the looters so that they spread out. Then have your dudes charge once a few looters are close by, and ride back to help them. Hopefully your recruits have local superiority so you win even though it's 2:1 against you.

Then have your dudes charge once a few looters are close by, and ride back to help them. Hopefully your recruits have local superiority so you win even though it's 2:1 against you. This is pretty similar to what I try if fighting early. A column/line approaching a couple of recruits will allow the recruits to outnumber them and fight vs 1 or 2 looters at a time. Related, your speed starting out solo is really fast with one mount. Some solo initial trading can get enough money to afford horses and then only get more recruits to increase the number of horses. Getting a mix of pack and non-pack horses can keep the part speed up above 5 and faster than looters.
