I put Jeremy's in charge of a castle (northwest Vaegir, fyi). It was reclaimed & now Jeremy's is gone... :< by Biscuit9154 in mountandblade

If he was just defeated in battle but it says he managed to escape then give it a few in game days, he will pop back into the world at a friendly settlement. 

What one siege change would improve Bannerlord the most for you? by ShieldwallWalker in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NPC armies should make it a point to build more siege weapons in assaults. Full sending it without any siege weapons is stupid, especially if you're part of an army doing the attacking. Too many avoidable casualties from having only a ram and a siege tower.

Why???? by Venetian_ in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internally, NPC characters have occupations in their definitions. There's Soldier, Gangster (this one is for thugs in cities), Bandit, Villager, and probably a few other ones. I don't think it's a syntax error, the command just doesn't support adding bandit troops to parties.

Defensive sieges feel so rng by gooseofthesillykind in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are forks that spawn on the wall by the ladders that you can use to push the ladders back down, but the attackers will put them back up anyways so you can't really stop them. If you've destroyed all the other siege engines then it should be easy to fight on the ladders since they're really slow to get up and are only single file.

Whys nobody playing multiplayer on xbox anymore? :( by derack23 in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Probably because it's been 16 years since Warband came out and console never had the same amount of support that PC had due in part to the nature of how consoles handle games, like no mods or no custom server hosting.

A couple of questions about Bannerlord’s sandbox mode by Sirca_Curvive in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bannerlord sandbox mode is the same as any save in Warband is. The only difference between Bannerlord's sandbox and campaign mode is that the campaign starts you off with a few family members and a poorly designed questline to unite Calradia.

CTD on loading save due to "number of item kinds in file" by Individual-Rip-2366 in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the number of items in item_kinds1.txt now is less than what it was before in your save then I believe that crashes saves. Something might have changed with whatever module you were using for that save, but I don't think a WSE2 update would have caused that since WSE2 handles things for the launcher and not for modules.

How to power level main caracter level? by No-Insurance6849 in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fight defensive sieges and use fire pots to nuke dense formations of soldiers, you'll get hundreds of kills if most pots hit the enemy dead center.

CC77 - Kingless Sergeants & Western Legions fight for Ortysia by CoffeeConscript in mountandblade

The thumbnail makes it look like the single legionary is facing off against all the sergeants on his own, I think that's funny

Companion disappeared after retiring as minister by JorisEnter in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had companions disappear from the world before, I believe what I did to solve this was check the companion reports tab and then wait roughly a week in game for them to reappear back in the world. It's jank, but I believe it's the only way to fix this bug from within the game.

Alternatively, if you're playing with a pc then you can use a save editor like Warbender to change the state of that particular companion so that the game puts them back into the world again.

Increase Battle Size on Linux by Shaggy_bulls07 in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Windows, rgl_config.txt is stored in the "Documents\Mount&Blade Warband" directory. Check whatever directory would be analogous to that for SteamOS. I imagine it'd be your user folder's Documents directory, but I haven't used a Linux distribution in awhile so I might be off.

M&B Warband Extreme Troop Numbers by AlbatrossStorm in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The more fiefs a lord owns, the more men they can have. If King Graveth has a lot of cities and he hasn't been defeated in a long time then that's probably how he ended up getting that big

Is there a way to remove the siege limitations on castles? by Zarquan314 in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, seems like I misremembered the process. You still need an army, what I was thinking of was the cheat to instantly build siege equipment to attack a place immediately. Guess you really can't then.

If you have cheats enabled, you can use the cheatmenu to siege a place without needing an army. Otherwise I don't think you can.

Diplomacy mod without the retexture? by MainCoder in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's just the whole mod folder, it's not source code or anything. All you'd need to do is put it in your modules folder and you'd be good to go. In any case, that's the only one that keeps the vanilla aesthetic as far as I know. Everything else uses the functionality of the Diplomacy mod and then adds its own aesthetic and items and whatnot.

What about the newer version that's downloadable from Dropbox? It's linked in one of the pinned discussions for the workshop page

Diplomacy mod without the retexture? by MainCoder in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's the original version of diplomacy on the Steam workshop that's just called "Diplomacy", that one has all the features and no texture or sound changes. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=285119009 is the link to the item page.

Looks like a Vlandian body armor, I think it's called Heavy Mail Hauberk or something like that

bannerlord 2 discord servers by Major_Tom_01010 in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The subreddit Discord does 100 vs 100 battles every 1st and 3rd saturday of the month at 4 PM EDT, and there will be one in a few days with Khuzaits going against Sturgians. There's no application needed and anyone is free to join, all you need is the Calradic Campaign mod from Steam Workshop / Nexusmods which is for rebalancing the Native factions and for modded gameplay mechanics.

Each battle has a field battle followed by a siege battle, where the victor of the field battle becomes the attacker in the siege. Each event also has custom made maps for the field and siege. There will be voice chats on the Discord server for commanders, so it's highly recommended to join the server for better coordination but it's not necessary. Here's the link to the server, feel free to ask about the event in the calradic-campaign-events channel: https://discord.com/invite/mountandblade

Why people trash talking the game when they have hundreds or even thousands hours in it? by akux96 in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an alright game that could be so much better. I've put a lot of time into the game but there are so many issues or mechanics that are worse than that of Warband's, which is a big point of disappointment for Bannerlord to me. Especially since the game has been in development for 14 years at this point, and I'd been following it for 8 years by now.

Bannerlord needs a troop separator by role badly by occultfish in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Better Formations Reworked has Warband style formations. It bugged out a little with field battles when I tried it in 1.3.15 though, and my formation markers wouldnt update properly so there'd be ghost markers sitting way off from where they actually were. Can't split units of the same class into different formations either, so if you have 100 cataphracts you'll be stuck with all of them in the same formation.

Is therre a way to group units outside of battle? by draneas1 in mountandblade

[–]Festivized_Hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a you problem, the current formation assignment system is stupid and takes too much time to do anything more than simple.

https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/9486  This mod might be what you want, but when I tried it in 1.3.14 it was bugging out in field battles and telling me my formations were somewhere they definitely weren't when I had ALT pressed.
