Sweet Realistic Medieval Combat (Mount and Blade)

[Crazed Rabbit]

I haven't had any trouble...but I started a whole new game. Are you using an old save?

Also, I was wrong about the mod tools. They haven't been released yet, but will be soon.

The new patch deletes old saves so can't be that problem.

Tribesman, what sort of problems are you having. Have a look on the M&B forums you might find something to help you.

twice twice post

Thanks! I'll check it out!

[Tribesman]

Rabbit and desdichado . It installed as soon as I deleted the old saves .

Some great improvents in the new version , but some visually annoying bugs .
There doesn't seem to really be any money to be made out of velvet anymore , which used to be a good earner at the start (once you had enough gold to buy some) .

[Kraxis]

Money in general seems to have been lowered with a factor of 10, though the weaponst in general seems to be only 5 times lower.

It is also nice that you can't upgrade units to 5 levels above your own. No more knights following a level 5 character.

[desdichado]

yeah making money is a lot harder. AI seems to be improved but needs more testing before I'm sure about this.

The new weather and terrain isvery cool - the fog in battles I like - was running along and then thwack a crossbow smacked me from out of nowhere. Those swadian crossbowmen are good shots.

There are a few bugs that have got though in this release so Armagan has stated he will release .701 update asap to fix. Most obvious one is the padded cloth animation. Also mountain bandits seem to bring along their own (very) mountainous terrain no matter where you fight them.

Other than that I think a definite improvement.

Horse running animations look better too.

i rescued a knight from a group of sea raiders when i was level 4 or 5.. he kicked ass for me for a good while (he was better at killing than the rest of my army combined). but i had to let him go because i needed the slot.

Some weapons now are a lot cheaper - a bent crossbow now is about 5 denars (so reduced by more than factor of 10).

Also merchants seem to carry more cracked/bent/crude/battered armour/weapons now - not sure why.

Unless you have a good trade skill merchants et al. rip you off big time when you sell your loot.

Reloading xbows on horseback = w00t! (Though a very cheesy w00t at that.)

Now I can be a "Pictish Mounted Crossbowman"!

[Alexanderofmacedon]

So does this have online play too? I can't be bothered with reading off that site!

Can you tell me (sorry I'm lazy)?

[desdichado]

no. at least for this version. maybe the next who knows? It's a husband/wife team and they do not have the resources to implement/maintain/fund online play.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Oh, alright.

[Tribesman]

Version 701 is out now , that was quick .

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

That's insane.

DLing now!

[AggonyKing]

due why couldn't they just put it all in one thing

[econ21]

The patch has sucked me back into this game. Can anyone tell me - the goods that towns buy and sell, are they fixed in the game? e.g. if Rivacheg merchant sells meat and buys oil, is that throughout the game? is it the same in all games? thanks for any advice!

[Kraxis]

Because it is a running beta. People find a bug or two, armagan fixes it the next day or so. It used to be like that, then he decided to make a major patch as well as take some seriously needed vacation. That turned out to be three months in all. But now we are back at fast and new again.

Simon,

The trade routes are still the same (at least in v0.700).

[Kraxis]

The .704 update seems great so far. No obvious glitches and the game is actually is a bit harder now.

Yes... This was basically a bump for all those who didn't know this game.

[Tribesman]

704 may as with other updates mean a restart (depending on your last update) .
Just when I had got decent weapons

[Kraxis]

Be happy... It can get rather tedious when you hit the high levels. The highs of the low levels are legion.

[Steppe Merc]

I'm hooked again! And I love the mod, Magnifecent Seven. Its great stuff... I really like joining the bandit faction, and killing a peasants.

[BDC]

Still hooked! *cries*

[The Scourge]

I'm waiting for the Samurai mod ,but it seems they're waiting for the mod tools.
Oh well.

[Ja'chyra]

If I'd known how bad the community was for this game I probably wouldn't have paid for it, nothing at all like the Org. Mods banning people for disagreeing with them and pointing out the bad features of the game?

Um, I had a bad experience posting there too - I made a request in the main forum and got a long reply from some poster pointing out the many reasons why he hated me. I would not let it put you off the game though - the game designer's posts seem helpful and polite, plus the game is a gem.

[Rosacrux redux]

Yah, I had a very similar experience in there. The devs seem ok and the game is great (haven't tried any 7xx patches, gonna be hoocked with Civ4 for a long time so no M&B for me) but the community is awful. When I pointed out some game problems, I had people attacking me out of the blue. When I (politely, as always) asked why the huge delay after the 634 patch, I had several hate-mails, vulgar attacks and the likes. Others got banned just for saying that they paid money for the game and they expect something more than just the barebone battles.

The worst gaming community I ever seen in my life, I might say. Too bad about a game with great potential.

Does the 7.04 adds any storyline-content at all? I mean, it's fun the first 4-5 times to run around doing the same boring quests and slaughtering everybody, but it gets extremely boring after a while.
