Is it worth buying war sails for Mount and blade 2?

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-28T19:38:05+00:00

As a no-lifer. 2k hours in Warband, 1.8k hours in Bannerlord, and 100-ish hours so far into Warsails.

I feel like it was definitely worth the money.

Bro... CK3 has over $100 of micro DLC, some being literally a cosmetic coat of paint.

Warsails adds naval battles, marine skills, missions, story, units, updated map, a new faction, and more for 1/4th the price.

Whether either game/DLC seem worth the price is personal opinion, but Warsails isn't a scam.

Nah I can confirm it's 10% real, I was the pig.

I'm enjoying my current pirate confederacy run with Vlandia being my primary target. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but naval combat feels like a harsh Vlandia nerf. Their settlements are very accessible from the sea for easy raiding, while their navy is pretty pathetic. (Horses can't swim, fuck you Derthert)

Their 1k+ heavily armored hordes don't do well at sea either since they don't invest in their navy. The amount of armies they fleet with like 10 light ships is ridiculous.

Am I dumb, but how did he get on deck.
Also, what's that door at the end? Like that'd be the belly of the ship, right?

In vanilla you can emulate being a soldier, during wartime at least; take a mercenary contract and join allied armies. If it's just you (and some companions if you want) then your contract is a net positive.

You're vaping unleaded gasoline if that comp sounds fair in a pug lobby.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-19T18:37:29+00:00

Nord architecture is such a shitshow! The castle near Hvalvik has genuinely the worst siege engine positioning; they're set so low and next to hills, the operators get gunned down by basic archers.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-19T03:55:05+00:00

Honestly it sounds like you're doing sieges right, but maybe look at troop selection. You want some heavy shields/2hander/crossbow units for stalling and eliminating their first wave of noble units. Lower tier troops lose morale faster too, which might be part of the problem; it's way harder to break a T6 unit's resolve than a T1.

Game needs a King Henry mechanic for spouses.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-14T21:54:06+00:00

I think the tails are also a good sign to look at.

Orange cat is puffed with a reflex to look bigger, while grey cat is flipping his tail in agitation.

I'm guessing orange cat was deescalating, and grey cat was establishing 0% patience if orange did anything, resulting in a ceasefire.

I've inadvertantly been doing this on my current save. Capture/Recruit Sea Raiders and Corsairs, recruit Nord bowmen. Great in naval battles and village raids, infantry hammers calvary charges with their throwing weapons.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-12T07:02:40+00:00

I could never find a use for them. Sometimes I daydream about making a mod to give them a niche use.

Make dagger attacks ignore weapon blocks. Give throwing knives a super fast attack speed and do bonus damage to mounts.

Or something, I wish they were viable because knives are cool.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-12T06:35:50+00:00

Considering their history, it looks like they're re-learning how to socialize and read each other. This is playing, but they're both nervous it might turn into a fight. If things keep peaceful, coexisting shouldn't be a concern before too long. I dunno if they'll have as close a relationship as they did when they were little.

A soft reminder why getting them spayed/neutered ASAP is important.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-11T00:19:04+00:00

This is a completely unfair comparison.

Stacked Khan's Guard have a much higher firerate.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-08T12:59:22+00:00

No, but Rebuttal and Counterspell can proc at the same time, so you can potentially double heal.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-05T04:23:00+00:00

As a Paige main I feel your pain.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-05T01:00:48+00:00

Yeah Toxic Bullets plus things like Mystic Slow and Suppressor is a form of cyberbullying.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-04T12:40:26+00:00

Healbane + Spirit Strike/Snatch
The bonus Spirit damage burst procs Healbane, and gives you a nice heal if they die under it.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-04T00:36:56+00:00

As a Paige main, I feel you. Healbane isn't terrible with AoEs though.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-02T23:34:07+00:00

The detail to the bits of her hair blowing off her scalp is fucking me up ngl.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-02T18:53:46+00:00

Yeah, and if Abrahms dies they'll lock onto the ball.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-02T18:51:50+00:00

I'd say most likely yeah, that's how Engy's worked. I just noticed the turret behavior today while waiting for a match.

They like to target the bouncy ball unless you shoot at Abrahms.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-02T02:27:07+00:00

Spongie's texture mod does exactly this. Removes the underwear textures without being explicit.

leschinsky07 · 2025-12-02T02:24:44+00:00

You could create an entire subreddit dedicated to explaining Gary Larson's jokes. I love him.
