Um ein eigenes Reich zu gründen braucht man ja u.a. eine Stadt oder Burg. Muss man die denn zwingend erobern oder gibt es auch andere Möglichkeiten (abgesehen davon, dass sie mir von meinem eigenen König übertragen wird). Eine eigene Stadt gründen kann man wohl nicht - kann ich denn eine kaufen?

 

ja du kannst eine kaufen theoretisch, allerdings brauchst du dafür einen Perk im Trade Tree auf stufe 275 und dann noch genügend Geld (Mrd. Bereich)
Daher eignet es sich eher als Vasall anzufangen.

 

Oh man. Hab wieder angefangen und wollte einen Armbrusthelden bauen. Also alles schön geskillt und dann den Perk (Armbrust) mit 75 gesehen. "Beim Reiten kann man jede Armbrust nachladen". Also aktiviert uuuuuunnnnnd geht nicht -_____- Warum geht so etwas simples nicht? Wusste ja, dass einige Fähigkeiten nicht gehen, aber bei einer so wichtigen Waffen schon peinlich.
Kann man das irgendwie fixen?

 

Ist halt immer noch EA, weshalb ich das Spiel auch erstmal auf Eis gelegt hab, obwohl es natürlich nicht schlecht ist. Aber man merkt schon, dass noch kräftig Feinschliff fehlt, obwohl die hart daran arbeiten.

Macht es eigentlich Sinn, als einzelner Söldner/Krieger zu spielen ohne eigene Armee? Lust hätte ich darauf schon, aber die ständigen Kämpfe mit den Banditen sind natürlich gefährlich, wenn man alleine ist. Gegen 1-2 Dutzend Steinewerfer kommt man noch mit guter Ausrüstung klar, aber gegen Bergbanditen sieht das anders aus.

 

Gibt eine Mod die die ganzen Fähigkeiten "aktiviert" auf Nexusmods.

Armbrüste stinken btw. Bögen sind mMn viel besser, vorausgesetzt man kann damit umgehen.

Vanilla komme ich auch gegen 10 "Steinewerfer" (ich denke mal Du meinst Looter) klar. Einfach drum herum reiten und mit Pfeil und Bogen dezimieren. Allerdings habe ich einen Mod wo diese Plünderer bessere Ausrüstung haben und teilweise beispielsweise Wurfspeere/-Äxte oder direkt Bögen/Armbrüste. Da sieht das dann anders aus.

Allerdings kann man mit der normalen imperialien Infanterie auf Tier Level 3 schon viel reißen. Ab da haben die nämlich Wurfspeere und brauchbare Rüstung & Schild und halten schon ordentlich was aus und sind immer noch billig. Die kosten, glaube ich, 5 Gold pro Tag und Nase, das holt man leicht wieder rein.

 

Ich habe das mit dem Helden nur so geschrieben. Besitze eine kleine Armee und verdiene mir ein kleines Polster bis ich Vasale bin. Ab da wird man ja nicht bezahlt und muss sich erst was verdienen an Dörfern/Burgen/Städte.

Klar ist das ein EA game, aber komm schon. Das sollte doch wohl machbar sein.
Was mich halt so sehr ärgert. Habe bereits vor 2 Monaten einen Armbrustschützen gebaut. Nur..... Laufe von Stadt zu Stadt und finde nicht eine einzige Armbrust. WTF? Hat mich so genervt, dass ich dann das Spiel auf die Seite gelegt habe.

Und nun das mit dem Skill der nicht geht. Das macht mir schon den Spielspaß kaputt. Vor allem, muss man die Armbrust auch erst auf Lvl 75 bringen. Kostet ja auch etwas Lebenszeit von mir.

Wird wohl noch lange dauern, bis das fertig wird. Die Modder müssen es dann wieder richten.

 

Hast recht. Bogen sind besser. Wollte es nur für die Abwechslung mit Armbrust spielen. Kann ich ja vergessen.
(Kein Bock mir Mods zu suchen und dann geht wieder was nicht weil die M&B patchen)

 

Finde aber auch, dass das Grinding der Skills zu lange dauert, vor allem wenn die Chars altern - ein Feature, dass es mE nicht bräuchte.

 

Aber das ist doch noch nicht drin? Soll doch erst Thema werden, wenn man seine Kinder spielen kann.

 

Na gut, aber mein Char altert jedenfalls.

 

Die Charaktere sterben aber anscheinend nicht, zumindest nicht eines natürlichen Todes. Ich habe schon Spielstände mit MCs gesehen die über 200 Jahre alt waren. Also wenn es jetzt keine fakes waren.

 

Zweites Developer Video zu einem baldigen(?) Update
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC-pfJwoU7k

Großer Fokus sind Moddingtools für Karten, Texturen, Meshes, usw.

Zusätzlich wird man wie in M&B die Möglichkeit haben die Blockrichtung automatisch bestimmen zu lassen.

Die KI für Formationen wurde stark überarbeitet und Formationen sollen jetzt viel besser funktionieren.

Speerträger können ihren Speer aufstellen um anstürmende Gegner zu schädigen basierend auf deren Geschwindigkeit (gleich Formel wie Lanzenschaden)
Die ist vorerst aber nur im MP möglich.

Speere mit Haken werden mit einem erfolgreichen Treffer auch Reiter von ihrem Pferd abwerfen. Das wiederum wird erstmal nur im Singleplayer gehen.

Und es gibt natürlich neue Ausrüstung.

• Decreased accuracy of throwing weapons when held for a long time. (Similar to bows.)

  • Made bows more inaccurate when moving.

Other Combat Changes

• Made kick animation longer. (Gives the opponent more time to react. Also slightly reduced the stun.)
  
• Increased collision resistance (makes it harder to push people):
  • Increased minimum collision resistance (when moving fast).

  • The collision resistance when standing still stayed the same.

  • Doesn't affect sheathing weapons.

• Lowered speed and angle requirement for mounts to trigger the “hit object” animation.
  
• Horses now rear up when riding into objects to hard.
  
• Increased speed requirement for horses to charge characters. (This will make it harder to bump run over characters. There will be more bumps than run overs now. This will require better infantry coordination to take advantage of cavalry charges.)
  
• Decreased the damage threshold for being able to rear mounts.
  
• Mounts can now be reared from a wider angle by spears.
  
• Multiplayer Only:
  • Classes with lower riding skill will now perform worse on horseback (less manoeuvrability and less speed).

Each player will be compensated for their total contribution when the objective is achieved.

New Features

  Players now can create a clan with their party. Six player party is needed to create a clan. Players can create their clan from the Clan tab in the lobby with the “Create a Clan” button. This button then opens a popup. In this popup, the party leader can decide on the name, tag, faction and sigil of the clan. The name and the sigil can be decided only once and it has to be unique, but the faction and the sigil can be changed any time by the leader of that clan. Upon pressing the create button, every other member of the party gets notified asking them if they want to join the clan. If all of them agree, a new clan is created.
  
  A clan can have a description and many announcements. These can be found on the clan’s home page. The clan leader can set a description for the clan. This description can be used to tell what that clan is all about. The leader can also post announcements or news for the entire clan. When members of the clan visit the clan tab in the lobby, they can get informed about the latest news and announcements about the clan.
  
  
• Clan Matches:
  A party of six players all belonging to the same clan can create a game by selecting game type, map and factions. Other parties that satisfy the same conditions can see a list consisting of these games and select one to join. If the creator party accepts this join request, a server is allocated for them and they duke it out. After the match, winner teams clan gets 1 win, loser teams clan gets 1 loss added to their clan stats.
  
  
• Clan Roster:
  In this page, members of the clan can see all the players that are in the same clan as them. They can then invite their clanmates to their party, add other clan members as friends and if they are the leader of the clan, they can also kick members from the clan or make them the new leader.
  
  
• Clan Leaderboard:
  A score is calculated for each clan using their win and loss numbers. Then they are sorted based on this score. Any player belonging to a clan can visit the Leaderboard page in the clan tab to see the rankings of all clans in the game. As we improve the Clan System, a Rating system will be added to more accurately reflect clan strength and other types of Leaderboards will be introduced for Clans and their members.
  
  
• Spear Bracing:
  Only possible with lances and pikes. Pressing ‘X’ key once while stopped, activates the bracing. Attacking, defending, crouching, jumping and running actions cancels the bracing. Players can only walk slowly while bracing is active. Please note that the damage values are still yet to be balanced.

Art

UI
Changes

• Added missing troop tier and type icons to the new hideout troop selection popup
  
• The selected skill now stays the same when the current character is changed in character developer screen for easier comparison

Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused a crash while preparing tooltip for villages in the town management popup.

• Fixed an issue in character naming that didn't allow for 1 character names in Asian languages.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the raid icon to become visible in village nameplates when there is a battle happening nearby.

Battles and Sieges

• Not being able to defend against ranged attacks when the Auto option was selected for blocking direction has been fixed.
  
• AI will be less cautious while they are besieging settlements so the player has a greater chance to experience defensive sieges by breaking into a castle or town. In previous versions, the AI was giving up the siege in most scenarios when the player joined the defenders because of changed power ratios. Because of this sieges will also be won more frequently by defenders compared to past versions.

Character Development System

• We have removed some of the starting equipment that was too strong or too expensive. This will create a more even starting point for each selection.
  
• Added 24 for combat-related perks for Riding. This completes the perks for this skill.
  
• Added 6 new campaign-related throwing perk.

Clan and Party

• Starving parties healthy troops will be wounded 50% slower

Armies

• AI changes its siege targets less frequently now so they lose less time while travelling from one target to another
  
• Because of some bugs, weak factions were having problems in forming armies. Now they will form armies even if they are weak and they will not simply give up. In rare cases, some factions which have no settlements left will make comebacks by conquering a new settlement.

Kingdoms and Diplomacy

• AI clans make their war/peace decisions more cleverly and take into account a broader range of situations. They generally do not want to face more than 1-2 enemies at the same time. So if they have lots of enemies they will try to make peace with some of them. This will reduce wiped out factions because in previous versions some factions were not giving logical decisions at diplomatic votings. Clans which have settlements that border the enemy will want peace more frequently. Similarly, they will not want wars in peace times. Rich kingdoms will not care about paying tribute as much as poor ones. If a faction has fewer men in garrisons or lord parties or if lots of settlements have food problems they will try to end the war with their recent enemies. There will be less snowballing due to all these changes because clans will try to act in the interest of their kingdom.

Settlement Actions (Town, Village, Castle and Hideout)

• New "Barber" NPC added to the town centre of every town. For 100 denars, this NPC lets you decide on a new haircut. Depending on the culture of the town, these haircuts and beards can change.

Aus irgendeinem Grund lädt das Spiel nicht mehr bei mir.

 

Dateien verifiziert?

 

Wenn Du das "Dateien auf Fehler überprüfen" meinst - jo. Mehrere Neuinstallationen, verschiedene Speicherorte - nix hilft. Es startet, und bevor der Launcher kommt hört es einfach auf zu laufen ohne Fehlermeldung oder irgendwas.

 

wann wurde das leveln den schwieriger gemacht? 1000 punkte für das erste level up?

 

Wie ist denn euer Gesamteindruck bisher? Lässt es sich ntrotz EA schon ordentlich spielen? Ist es schon auf einen vergleichbaren Stand wie Warband, so dass es sich mehr lohnt, den neuen, als den alten Teil mit Mods zu spielen?

 

Also man kann es spielen und ich habe damit auch schon viel Spaß, aber es ist definitiv noch im EA. Manche Skills funktionieren noch nicht richtig, komische Bugs etc...
Mit Mods kann man zwar schon viel ausbügeln, aber im Moment ist Warband mit Mods klar die saubere und vollständigere Erfahrung. Vorallem da im Moment durch Updates gern mal Mods und Speicherstände unbrauchbar werden, außer man zockt mit der auf Stand der alten Version weiter.

 

Danke für die Rückmeldung, dann warte ich noch ab und lasse es noch ein wenig weiter reifen. Hier im Thread kann man ja gut mnitverfolgen, wie es gepatched wird. :-)
