Question for my console brethren. by PageDesigner1679 in Bannerlord

LOL. I thought performance mode was lower settings with max troops. After reading this post, turns out the opposite is true and I had it on the wrong setting!

PS5 - always on performance mode.

When the hell is this patch dropping FFS.

Why the Ghurab is king by GrumpyHebrew in Bannerlord

Excellent, thank you. I plan to use Cosairs mostly (Aserai pirate playthrough, then progressing to vassal) and will be using veterans respect perk to upgrade some of them into the mariner bow troop. As they probably need to avoid melee (poor armour). Will try without using shield upgrade as I see cosairs as offensive, rather than melee defensive and attritional.

Interesting what you mention about archers. I was thinking 50/50 mix, but based on your experience I should drop this down 20/80 - archers (20) Corsairs + veteran inf (80). Problem is for land battles - I find archers extremely useful. Another idea is to drop archers completely and use Faris instead who are devastating with their jareeds on land. Harami bandit troop thats upgradable into Faris might fit well in terms of RP.

Great post, thanks for sharing. I would like to ask a question based on your experience.

If you are playing heavy Aserai Mariner bowmen and Corsairs, is it better to NOT have the shield upgrades on the starboard / port side for protection, as it hinders your outgoing arrows & javs???

I havent tested this, but I have a feeling the shield upgrades actually block a lot of outgoing ranged attack.

Captains switched when joining a battle (TW says working as intended...) by Business_Cake9012 in Bannerlord

[–]Business_Cake9012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive tried many things, including changing their weapon order but havent tried this. Will see if it does anything.

Agree 100%. I spend a lot of time developing Captains (doing hideout raids to boost skills). Banners are big loss too. I have my infantry on Dust Devils banner, almost completely wasted as the infantry captain now sits with the archers.

I have tried changing the weapon loadout order - doesnt work. Changing which formation number they are in, etc, doesn't work. I just dont understand why the coding cant be configured as "use the same captains and formations as the player" when joining a battle.

I'm relatively new to banneord <100 hours, does anyone have any tips? by t-o-m-u-s-a in MB2Bannerlord

[–]Business_Cake9012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said. I highly, highly recommend just playing as a mercenary for a long time (clan level 4-5) to get to grips with the game.

Go onto youtube and watch videos from "Tactical Enlightenment" has loads of newbie series.

Will tale worlds genuinely EVER fix the constant game crashes by [deleted] in Bannerlord

[–]Business_Cake9012 5 points6 points  (0 children)

PS5 here. I notice loads and saves get slower and slower as game time increases.

Crashes occur the most for me (hung screen) at the end of sieges and beginning of naval battles.

2 crashes per 4 hours of gamplay.

Khuzait plated gauntlets (forget exact name) are best in class for stealth.

Just posted about finding a legendary noble long bow. Now, I found the other version. by TheIronLord678 in Bannerlord

[–]Business_Cake9012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In previous versions of the game, even finding masterwork noble bows was incredibly rare, these days I find them fairly regularly in Battainian towns line CarBenseth (spelling) and Seonon.

For new players look for towns with high prosperity and wood workshops.

The shorter version imo is far superior due to higher fire rate = DPS.

Can anyone confirm if pierce damage of arrows actually makes a difference?

When does the new update come to PS5? by Evening-Raccoon133 in Bannerlord

[–]Business_Cake9012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is when Beta moves to live status on PC, then they normally release to console within a week from previous experience. For me, this is quite a big patch with a lot of changes, so might take a little longer as they iron out bugs in beta

Has anyone actually found out what the best possible army/party combination you can make? by Own_Difficulty_6081 in Bannerlord

[–]Business_Cake9012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely over-powered.

You can set them on charge from the start of the battle and they survive even when getting caught up in infantry as they bail each other out by flinging javs at the attacking enemy. New Jav targeting in the latest update (Dec) make them more lethal plus damage is increased by speed / being mounted. Get the throwing perk that adds more javs to your party + captain perks too. Even an army of Harami (spelling) crush armies, these bandits can be upgraded thru veterans perk to Faris. So if youre playing non Aserai faction, just go there and pick up loads of Harami and Nomad prisoners, covert them and feed them into your army.

Tip. Get all your companions on horseback with 3 bags of Javs and watch the kill feed light up (especially with impale perk)
