Haha, don't mistake my exceptionally lucky kill as a measure of my skill! Lancer are absolutely beastly if you have good aim (I suggest first person mode when lancing). You can get a massive amount of bonus damage if you have a fast horse. I'm currently building up a character to look like he's wearing Elite Knight Armor from Dark Souls. Dunno why. I just decided randomly. He's looking okay so far, but I can't find an acceptable chestpiece. At the moment I'm rocking Heraldic Plate and Mail, but I don't know what the banners look like yet! :/ Have you had a look at the Knighthood Orders yet? Pretty damn cool.
Dude that sounds amazing! The reason I used scimitars is because thrust is bollocks, but it's so hard to attack through small gaps like the little bits on castles without a thrust movement. I'm jealous of your mad skills, going to have to try out something similar I think. Although I'm considering becoming a lancer next time, just to be more knightly!
It also includes great upgrades to the sounds in the game. There are more background sounds, just to make it feel alive, and I'm pretty sure it has the More Metal Sounds mod, or something like it, so combat sounds really visceral. An army of leather draped brigands sounds considerably different to an army of full plate covered knights now. One of the best feelings for me in this game is managing to get the perfect thrust (). The sword thrust is pretty useless for most engagements, but when you get it right, you feel like such a pro. One such occasion: running towards the enemy camp, a guy appears with his shield up. I set up a thrust, BOOSH!, goes over the top of the shield and gets him straight in the face. I didn't even stop moving. It was like a drive by.
That sounds pretty marvellous to me. I'll be getting right on that, gonna be smurfing unbelievable. The game felt a little too easy for a lot of it so ramping up the challenge is going to be great
smurfing. Holy ohmygodding balls. Get Prophecy of Pendor as soon as bloody possible. It's... just amazing. It's a fair bit harder than Native, though. I'm not longer running around swinging a two-hander, oh no! I'm back to sword and board, and the shield is almost always up. You know the first tutorial mission, to rescue the sibling? Well, I fumbled a bit, and the bandit archer and leader that I was fighting took me down to below half health in no time. Got it back with some truly expert blocking, but crikey. Downloading and playing it should be the first thing on your to do list, above all social and family matters.
I'm gonna have to wait until I head back down to the city to download that one, but oh gosh am I excited about it!
Ah, they make them for mod makers, see? It's so people who are making big mods like Prophecy of Pendor, Eagle and the Radiant Cross etc. can use setting appropriate gear. But still, I want to use setting appropriate gear too! I'm actually gonna download Prophecy now. It's frequently said to be the best mod out there for Warband, so I figure I may as well give it a go.
Spazzes like us xD How rude to make you code stuff yourself! I'll have to check out a few more of these then, sounds like there's a lot of value in it all
I know. The worst thing is, you think that, and then it works perfectly. So you do another one. It works perfectly again. Then you install half a dozen mods perfectly without backing up at any stage and it's always the seventh that smurfs you over. xD I'm massively upset now. I just discovered Narf's armour sets, and they are beautiful. Why am I upset, you ask? Because I'm only supplied with the textures and resource files; I have to code them myself. The problem is that I don't know how to code, and I just don't have the motivation to learn haha. I did, however, download The Eagle and the Radiant Cross, a module set in the Renaissance. I can't wait! Also, I downloaded the Native Compilation module. It's just standard native, plus a host of nice mods like Diplomacy already coded in. Very useful for spazzes like me.
I always think "nah I won't make a back up it'll be okay this time" and it never smurfing is. Never learn. I would love to persuade my king to go to war. It was only really necessary once or twice in this campaign and I got around it but just levelling cities on my own until war started :P
