Sweet Realistic Medieval Combat (Mount and Blade)

That is a good point, Kekvit, one that I will pursue when I get in touch with the developers. But I don't think they'll do a thing about it any time soon; I suppose that cavalry light sabres are meant to do less damage than heavy swords which are designed to do less damage than bayonets. Sabres are also much faster. There are thing I myself am not crazy about (engs building stuff on the stairs is one of them) but overall, it seems that NW is, for better or worse, is working as the devs intended.

There are definite issues with the game, but it's still a blast to play.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that respawning in Deathmatch mode seems a little too random. You die, then respawn near some cannons. You die again, and respawn near a house. You die once more, and you respawn two feet from an enemy (not kidding, I died one second after respawn because I spawned right in front of an enemy with a bayonet).
Team Deathmatch respawning should just pick one side of the map for your team, and keep it like that for the rest of the game. If you get spawn camped, tough noogies.

It seems that M&B developers are too busy for the interview, still got no response from them, even my Paradox PR contact couldn't get a hold on them. Not surprising, since there is supposedly only a couple of them. If I manage to get a hold on them, you folks will be the first to know. In the meanwhile, reviewing other games, but still playing Napoleonic Wars for a quick relaxation here and there. There is something about a musket firing sound that is irresistible.

I take it as a good omen that they're busy. Maybe they're working on M&B 2.

Let's hope so.

​
Tried Warband (SP, vanilla). It's good, very good indeed. :yes:
​

Re-downloading Floris mod.
I love Prophesy of Pendor, but Im going to see if Floris has been updated much. Rumor has it there are fleets now.

im gonna download it in a couple of weeks or months xD butt i know its very nice :wiseguy: cus i watch a lot of vids of it ;p

If anyone has a good Napoleonic Wars mod to recommend, let me know, cheers.

finally bought (no longer less than legal copies!) Warband and the Napoleonic DLC. managed to get banned from 3 different major servers in Napoleon for no reason (probably my name, but I think a ban is excessive), but really enjoy the MP on both. haven't even touched single player yet, having already played it extensively before.

My guess is because it sounded better than Prussian wood.

Just got around to WFaS. Can anyone explain how does one join factions? Or recruit faction troops for that matter? Villages seems to be blocked, and towns only have mercs... Merc camps do what they say on the tin, but I feel I want some of those boyars with poleaxes combined with swedish pikemen. Please?

My name on the game is slightly....more racist...but in a lighthearted, not serious way. in any case, I don't say anything bad so it really shouldn't matter what my name is.

A ban is certainly not excessive for that, in my opinion anyway.

Boys, don't even go there.

It's not intended to be offensive and it's not directed at anybody, it's just the first thing that came to mind. It's no reason to ban someone who is completely following the rules of the game. I've started using a different name to not get banned though; "Drugsalcoholsex". Much more appropriate.

It may not be intended to offend but it will offend, and you knew that when you selected it as a name. It causes disruptions and servers don't want to be seen as endorsing racism, so the bans were inevitable and most likely expected on your part.

You tried to troll and went too far.

Yeah dude, did you honestly think that wouldnt get you banned?

I mean, I wouldn't ban someone for it. I wouldn't ban except if they disrupt gameplay. The internet is no place to be overly sensitive to trivial matters like a screen name.

PI, allowing racist crap like your screen name creates a hostile environment for black gamers and others who do face racism in their life. The screenname, by virtue of just showing up on the server list, encourages more racism. It's not trivial for the people who have to experience it.

The people who run the servers obviously do not a 'Call of Duty' type multiplayer experience for people (swearing, racism, sexism, etc.). They want a welcoming environment for everyone. If I ran a server I would've banned you.

Think Harder.

Crazed Rabbit

The thing is, there is no such thing as "Freedom of Speech" on the internet. Servers are private entities, and thus are exempt from such confines. A server owner can ban you or anyone else for any reason, even for "I don't like you." Getting banned for an offensive username is quite justified. Think of it from a server owner's perspective: How would other prospective players feel if the owner condoned such behavior? Losing players means that the server wont be as filled, and word-of-mouth removes any chance of sponsorships or advertising to keep the server afloat.

I wasn't aware that the Orgah's were so sensitive and PC nowadays.

It has nothing to do with being PC. It has everything to do with being a sensible human being. I mean come on, you just graduated high school, right? That means college next year, and in four years, you're totally on your own. You gotta think about these things. Part of growing up.

What you did is like having "I_love_hitler" as a username, and then not expecting Jews to get offended.

I'm Jewish, and I wouldn't be offended. It's clearly not meant in a serious manner, if it were, I wouldn't know it, and even if I did know that it was serious, I would man up and not care.

I know you are Jewish, and you might not care. But most likely, someone else would. I would, as someone who lost family in the Holocaust. And you cant hold everyone to your standards. You might not care and "man up" but you cant tell someone to do that as well.

It has always been Org policy to be respectful towards all people.

This isn't about you.

Being respectful of others means caring for how they will feel.
