Sweet Realistic Medieval Combat (Mount and Blade)

[rajpoot]

Are there any mods that are the equivalent of the old End of Days LOTR mod where there are complex alliances and your heros can actually die?

You mean The Last Days right?

AFAIK there isn't another LOTR based mod that can hold a candle to it.

The latest news about the latest version (still to be released) -

At Centurions persistence I finally downloaded Prophesy of Pendor, and its quite good, if obscenely hard.

[Centurion1]

i started a new game about an hour before him in pop.

I know have 99 top tier sarleon troops and 15 hero adventurers.

Hooah just let me know that heretic raiding parties are hard

I love this mod.

Woah..... what. How?

[Centurion1]

Woah..... what. How?

Its abut day 83? i think.

Im at about level 24 right now I believe. But the key is i bought sir jocelyn. Mwahahaaha level 38 and has a good training skill. and guess what..... adventurers are only level 30.

They are my secondary cav I don't really like them i think they are overrated tbh. I use sarleon knights as my main men atm. I have like 10 only problem is i have to rescue sarleon noblemen and squires so it can obviously take awhile.

Yeah, knights are a pain to recruit, I usually stash them away the second I find a castle in case i ever get to building said knight's chapter house.

And overrated? Maybe a bit, they flounder a bit in a siege assault for sure, but open field I'd have to say they're still top 10 in the mod(and I'm taking into account all the crazies running around like eyegrim's dudes revenants). Which reminds me, I've not yet run into him in the warbanded version of PoP. Does he still spawn with like 100 revenents like he did in some of the older versions?

[Hooahguy]

Ok I apologize, but getting pounced by 15 heretics with full armor, lances, and horses when your guys are only fresh recruits is frickin HARD.

eah he does but the demonic magni are the real threats.

getting knights isnt hard with a castle and noblemen bu i just dont have one yet so its a little slower.

[Hooahguy]

Ok, for the PoP people, what do you think the best h2h weapon is?
Im tempted to say the Morningstar but I find that in PoP it doesnt have the mind-crushing awesomeness that it had in Native.

Best normal weapon? Um... I'd say its open to interpretation. Morningstar is fine, plenty of the swords are fine. I wouldn't say any particular regular sword is mind blowingly better.

But, the best weapon(s) in the game? Pretty easy, imo, but spoilered for the fact that its *pseudo-secret*, or whatever you might wanna call it. Just gonna say you need a few qualis gems for it.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Enchanted claymore or glaive or really about anything from the Aziz mines. You need one gem to buy the map to the place(it has a random spawn point at some place in the middle of nowhere). Then you need a gem to buy the weapon from the smith, then a third gem to buy an enchantment. In the old versions, I preferred Ruby because it gave your weapon the piercing quality. Absolutely devastating on the glaive, from experience, but I imagine the claymore would be similar.

Don't ruin it for him!!!!!!!!!!!!

but yeah those would be the ones

[Hooahguy]

I found that the D'shar Heavy Sabre (looted it, dont even want to imagine what it would cost to buy) is so far the best weapon for someone on horseback, at least mid-game. With a crazy length for a sword, something like 120-125 it can do massive damage. And its really fast, a speed of 102 I think.

[Drunk Clown]

Downloading PoP now, native got so boring, don't even bother finishing it.

It's like yeah... I can defeat everyone, it's the same thing over and over again.

Btw it's pretty retarded I have to download it as RAR.

Agreed, I look back and all I can think is "wow, Native was so easy...."

It's huge. And you won't be beating anybody in POP for awhile......

MWAHAHA

seriously if you come tell us that POP is too easy I don't want to hear it. You play with easy settings of course native got too easy for you.

Yeah, I played native on normal damage to me and normal to my allies.

And we all know how good you are, but just shut up if you don't have anything to say which you haven't said before.

sorry you misunderstood me it wasnt supposed to be partronizing i worded it wrong. Sorry.

[Hooahguy]

TBH Cent you sometimes do come off as being hard on those who arent as good as you. Just sayin'.

Also, I hate the Noldor. With a passion. Bastards killed a third of my force. I had 96, they had 30, they killed 32 of my men.

your really good and have a good army if thats all you lost. noldor are elves. and they are the supermen of the game. how many actual noldor did you fight?

i just tend to stay away from them once i make friends because its too painful to watch even knighthood troops and hero adventurers die like flies from far away.

and im not very good at this game especially not pop.

[Drunk Clown]

5 hours of download, for only 511 MB.

Man that sucks.

If you really want a nightmare, imagine having absolutely no idea what they were, seeing twelve of them, attacking with your band of about 50, led by a character who thinks he's a horse archer. I think I went down in like eight seconds after taking an arrow to the face from about 60 yards out.

I think it was only like 12 actual Noldor. Not sure.

[Hooahguy]

Ok so I got messages that the Mystmountain bandits and the Jatu banded together. A few days later, I got attacked by like 300 Jatu raiders. Needless to say, I left some guys behind and fled. I might have lost 30 good men, but it beats losing 120 good men.

ive never heard oft hat message or a group of 300 jatu. armies come in like 500 and up. they likely werent all jatu but rescued prisoners.

[Drunk Clown]

Any tips where to start? And then what to do? (PoP) Story isn't very obvious.

Do you guys have the music enabled? Cos I have it disabled. Not that the music is bad, but the music doesn't kick in at the right moment. Sometimes it's complete silence. Sometimes one music piece starts and it goes silent after a 15 seconds.

[Hooahguy]

Are you kidding me? The music is one of the best parts!

For starting out, I do a couple things.
1) I determine if I want to become a vassal of a faction.
2) I determine the type of troops I want to recruit.

When these things are determined, I set myself up to accomplish this as best as possible.
For instance, if I wanted to be a vassal of the Empire and get Empire troops, I would start at Janos.
I pick up small missions, then go from there. I also find that starting as an impoverished noble is the best because you can get a reasonable sized force from the start since your renown is already at 115. And it makes joining a faction much easier.

[Drunk Clown]

I do agree with you that the music is great, but it always starts (for example) when I just finished the battle or when I'm at mid. Instead of immediately when the battle starts the music begins, the first half of the battle it's silence.

I started as Empire too, but my troops keep dying. The light infantry (before pike men and heavy infantry) have scythes or something. When they attack they can't make a hit cos they are too close and as a result they get slaughtered >:|.

BTW do Empire have cavalry?

[Hooahguy]

Yeah, the Empire does have cavalry, but Im not sure how to recruit them. I had one Empire Knight in my party who I rescued from a Sarlon lord, but he was killed as I fled a Jatu army of like 300. Oh well.

And about the Empire light infantry, Im not sure why that happens, its a problem with the game engine. What I did is I got some cheap mercs and put them at the top of the list for deployment and the light infantry towards the bottom so the LI would get some XP without having to be in battle so much.

[Drunk Clown]

Do you guys play PoP on normal difficulty? Because it's not really fun, when you get picked of your horse by a crossbowman and die immediately.

Also can you get Noldor units? They are insanely strong.

[Hooahguy]

I do half damage for me, full damage for my men. I agree, its way too frustrating to have one shot one kill. Call me yellow, but I enjoy the game much more this way.
