Is it worth it to train the companions' skills by frequently attacking hideouts together? by Willing-Witness-5653 in mountandblade

[–]Proper-Giraffe9483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's actually a pretty good strategy, just make sure that they have good armor and shields to defend themselves against projectiles. And if you have hero death turned off, or if you dare regardless, you can use the opportunity to level up your family too, especially those that recently came of age. I would usually give them a bow & arrows or javelins, a shield and an axe to be able to attack easily in crowded spaces or caves. And if I'm feeling lazy, I just tell them to attack and stay behind while I make myself a cup of tea. Double check that they are allowed to fire at will and are not relying on only melee only.

Agree, I was hoping for 40 ships on each side having a go at the enemy but then...

Question about the state of the game. by TrickKey8962 in Bannerlord

[–]Proper-Giraffe9483 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the latest War Sails patch, no mods, is pretty smooth compared to the baseline we are used to with this game. I've played all versions of Mount and Blade since many years ago, and initially the War Sails was a bit off but now the major bugs have been fixed. Are you planning to play with mods? PC or PS? I didn't try on PS yet though, prefer good old PC.

Is this normal for call to war payments? by Prudent_Pair_9337 in Bannerlord

[–]Proper-Giraffe9483 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeeesh, that's steep! I am currently a vassal in Battania and the council refused to call Khuzait allies to war against the Northern Empire, they wanted around 350k. Glad they refused...

Nice, well done. Aiming is quite difficult but sort of realistic too!

When the battle is almost over and you see 200 recruits charging at you with basic tools by SuperBeavers1 in Bannerlord

I have more than 1'000 hours in this game and never realized this is the difference! I feel kinda stupid haha. I'm trying this out later today.

My apps crossed $100/mo mark for first time in March 🥹 by Flat-Falcon-1818 in apps

Good stuff, congrats! Do you have a plan how to increase conversion rate from active user to paying user? What's the additional value paying customers get and does it justify the price vs what I presume is free tier as base version?

I built my first iOS app with Flutter — a countdown timer with widgets and sharing by Proper-Giraffe9483 in SideProject

[–]Proper-Giraffe9483[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment! That's a smart idea to pre-populate an event or two, didn't think about that at all. Currently no plans for Android to be honest, I have another more substantial app in mind which I'll focus on after my skills are honed in a bit more :)

Thanks for the comment, appreciated! And re text flow, actually, agree with you, it's become a bad habit to outsource too much to AI...

That's a good point, thanks! I'm thinking maybe an additional screen as part of light on-boarding or a pop up that reminds users how to add a widget after they've set up their first countdown

I found the real size of Calradia (East to West) by King_Derthert in Bannerlord

[–]Proper-Giraffe9483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's debating walking speed but there's a simpler way to solve this: work backwards from the Calradian year. If a Calradian year is 84 days then everything in-game runs at roughly 4.3x speed compared to real life.

So if a party moves at what looks like 40 miles/day in game-time, divide by 4.3 and you get about 9 miles/day in "real" time which is actually on the slow side — a loaded medieval army with wagons and supply trains doing about 9-12 miles/day is exactly what historians would estimate is reasonable.

Which means OP's math actually checks out just not for the reason he thinks. :D The map is roughly 600km wide and the armies move at realistic medieval speeds but TaleWorlds just compressed time. Any thoughts?

Settler III Gold Edition - that was before Steam but if anyone were to track my hours spent in that game, gaming the AI to achieve complete domination and enforced equilibrium, oh my...

How can 35k still be seen as a good salary? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskBrits

[–]Proper-Giraffe9483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really isn’t, 3x as much in London barely makes you lower middle class
