i only play online. tried the single player and it was just too slow paced for how much time i have available to game. online play depends heavily on servers and the mode that you play. seems like there are far more EU servers than NA, though there are a few staple ones in NA that i frequent. i'd really only use the single player to brush up on basic combat before going into multiplayer, because the AI is really just too poor to pose a real challenge unless they mob you.

Floris modpack still the best combo for single player, really.
|
Is there a mod for F&S to make it just like warband? Kinda wished I had spent the extra $15 for it. ZZZZ
|
Yeah I'm really wishing I bought warband over f+s too
|
Floris is alright but there's so much going on that it becomes very unstable.
I think the best mod is Prophesy of Pendor. It's really difficult, but it's almost like a completely new game. It's basically what F&S should have been content wise.
I feel for people who bought F&S over Warband if they don't already have it. It's such a huge step back, kinda shameful for Taleworlds to even sell it the way it is. The first time you take a bullet to the face seconds into a siege is funny but then it just gets tiresome.
|
It's also really difficult to get a shield in multiplayer for some reason, which makes muskets and bows way annoying
|
God quests are so pointlessly impossible tasks early on so I've never done anything interesting. 'Go conquer XyZ, but watch out, they have 5x 150 fully upgraded stacks'. So wtf do I do early on to amass a big army?
|
Sending trade caravans gets you a ridiculous amount of money really easily
|
Yeah but I don't understand the feature..
|
Prophesy of Pendor is sooo good. Don't play it on easymode or it'll spoil your experience for sure. But then again, new players might be devastated by the butt rape that is to come from PoP.
|
This thread need more love
Mount&Blade is probably the best game in the games sub-forums atm.
|
For some reason, I prefer With Fire and Sword. Guns are a bit overpowered as they should be and they make siege battles incredibly fun.

Get trade skill (or part member w/trade skill).
go to town/fort/city
go to market
hit the top option about finding prices
find the biggest profit
go to mayor
say you want to send caravan to that city of the profitable goods
escort the caravan there
100k
The funny/trick part is this, the mayor won't let you send a caravan of a good that the city doesn't have, but all you have to do is collect one item each of the most profitable goods (spice, velvet), sell it to the mechant, then send the 40 unit caravan, then buy your "seed item" back....seems kind of like an exploit but it works.
btw single player is really not worth playing

That's only true if you play the game without mods.
Next to the Elder Scroll series, M&B is one of the most mod-friendly games out there. That's what makes it a classic in my book.
|
Single player in native vanilla/WB is pretty fun the first time. I'd suggest players to try a mod like PoP or Bryten-thingy which are both really great fun and are more challenging and rewarding.
I'll probably just play M&B and SC2 until 11-11-11 when the new Elder Scrolls comes out.
|
how many of you guys play online, and which servers do you usually play in (game type/name)?? thinking a few TLers can get together and play sometime.
i'm usually in the GK siege servers or some random TDM servers for practice - all located in NA for good ping. play with several names, so perhaps we may have run into each other at some point... Count_Grackalacken, Matome_Mondai, MisterFister69 (lol). -- i'm pretty certain there was an instance where i saw someone named LiquidTLO... of course not the man himself but i remember chatting about sc2 with the person in question.
|
Okay, gonna be my first TL bump, but I have a serious question:
I'm looking to buy this game, but should I just nix that altogether and get Warband instead? I have no interest in multiplayer, and I can't really tell if there's a difference in the single player from most of the reviews I'm reading.

Buy Warband and definitely check out the mods for it on the TaleWorld forums. I've always been a fan of the simple, yet delightful Native Expansion mod.
|
As M&B player since gamma 0.xx something, I'd say skip the vanilla and go directly for Warband, it only adds to the single player experience.
And do check out the mods as stev said, they add even more, from complete storylines to just tweaking the native experience.
|
I'm having problems with playing in offline mode now. I've checked for fixes, but everyone just says to enable cheats to circumvent the issue. Doing this however, I still get the same error message. The game won't even launch.
Any suggestions?
