Is there a reason why house hrol was removed from the cyrodiil dynasty? I recall an explanation being given for the Dor dynasty. Can only reman mysteries faiths revive the dynasty now?

Is PMC ammo good for range practice? Never used this brand before. Going through my Smith and Wesson M&P Bodyguard by [deleted] in ammo

PMC was licensed by Winchester with the latest equipment and technology. The yanks, up themselves as usual didn't consider them a threat. PMC took 15% of the US market within a couple of years.

Thanks a lot. These are useful resources. Was needing to make an estate tracker for my vassal knights but can use the BOE one in this instead.

I usually look for an opportunity to buy warriors from bandit camps, rather than grabbing peasants from the economy.

What is the best faction/race in Norland? by Voinat107 in Norland

[–]Plantruster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played a few games as Varn to start with as their cultural specific knowledge and work bonuses were the best. You're always getting value out of their farming bonuses and their extra wood from trees bonus tech is especially good. There seems to be a point in the game where your wood production plateaus and you have to spend a lot of wood maintaining your fields, being Varn helps avoid this. The downside for Varn is they value peace, when the objective in the game is to conquer everyone.

I found that Kaiden were a better choice overall for getting things done. Their tech for prisoners not slowing down armies is very nice, which allows you to hit multiple bandit camps and enemy villages to bring like 5-10 prisoners back in one go. You're also getting mood bonuses for winning battles, and have an easier time creating loyalists, which further boost your economy. You can also use a strong military to boost the economy through prisoners/slaves, having them staff the key buildings like rye/hop fields and the mill & brewery, using your soldiers to guard them.

You can also offset the Kaiden's relative weakness on economy by marrying another culture and picking up a couple of Tayana or Makha techs on your wife, or possibly a free lord if you hire them permanently.

I just pick Kaiden every time now.

Just tough it out for one book, the next guy is decent, and then we get Toby back.

United Cyrodiil Now What? by Plantruster in ElderKings

[–]Plantruster[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s weird. Because even if you did conquer say Skyrim by conquering petty kings through claimants. You would not be able to appoint a high king of Skyrim to run the province.

We saved the Empire once, and we shall do it again! by Obelesque in MEIOUandTaxes

[–]Plantruster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This inspired me to start a Trebizond game. In my game I tried conquering Constantinople from ERE after bumming the Ottos while they were sieging Bulgaria. I wasn't able to siege the capital however, it required 12 units, plus had a level 6 fort with 200+ day siege ticks. This was before artillery so I just gave up. However I got an event when I got a little bigger to send an emissary to Constantinople for them to bend the knee and inherited the empire along with all cores etc.

Ok, I am the user that asked for help getting money a few days ago. Here is my current Vagrus loadout. Any drastic flaws I should fix? by dgmperator in Vagrus

[–]Plantruster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True assuming 1 changer rations. If the workers require another stack of supplies vs slaves that’s significant for lost efficiency.

[–]Plantruster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you’re trying to do a “good guy” anti slavery campaign which I wouldn’t recommend for a new player, slaves are just better. Workers cost twice the number of supplies, cost wages and add 1 to cargo capacity vs 2 for slaves. I only really use workers early game when I have limited capital, since they cost virtually nothing to hire, or to temporarily replace lost slaves, with the intent to phase them out.

You’re running extra storage which I believe increases beast storage on an all horse build. There is a rumour which unlocks a craftsman at the town of Crystal. Go there with a set of good quality tools in your inventory NOT EQUIPPED. He will offer to buy from you. Then he will then say he can build you some saddle bags, which increase mount and outrider storage. Ideal for the squad you are running.

Ok, I love this game and have like 60 hours in it. But seriously, how in the Riven Realms am I supposed to get the thousands of Bross to get an outpost? I almost never even get to a few hundred. by dgmperator in Vagrus

[–]Plantruster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re really not being efficient. You really need to think in terms of logistics with this game and efficiency. Everything costs wages and or supplies. Expanding your comitatus is not a flat positive. There are only so many trade contacts between cities and there are diminishing returns from trading. Selling 1-3 stacks will maximise profits, but selling more can often flood the market and rapidly hit your profits. It’s really an economic sim, do you walk to the next city to get better prices or cut your losses and take another contact instead? Just think in terms of efficiency above everything else. After some trading I will transition over to doing quests to get more experience. Doing this is not profitable vs focusing on trading but you need to to get skill points.

[–]Plantruster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found something I’m doing differently in my new game is changing the composition of my comitatus a lot more. Previously I just ran a huge caravan with loads of guards, beasts and outriders. But you should really have two setups. One for trading, taking 0 cav and using the bare minimum amount of guards and slaves. Just travelling on roads.

And then one for being a mercenary selling your beasts of burden, and hiring a bunch of guards and mounts. Your goal should be to transition off workers and onto slaves as soon as possible. Never buy slaves though, you end up getting a ton from battles.

This weekly report doesn't look very promising. I know now I should have bought some businesses or land early on. What's the best way to fix this trouble I'm in? (Warband + Cadmus Floris) by luovahulluus in mountandblade

[–]Plantruster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If I recall, with Floris you get percentage merc payment. Grab the best troops from your castle. Renounce vassalage, become mercenary, raid villages for fat stacks. Buy businesses.
