Suggestions Corner / About the sheathed spathovaklion
« on: March 05, 2016, 12:07:48 am »
Hello everyone.

I noticed something that's bothering me. The spathovaklion looks weird when sheathed.

It's sheathed like a mace, upside down :

Seeing that it has a large crossguard, wouldn't it be better if it was sheathed like a sword, point down? I think if I remember correctly that it's just a matter of flag in the game files so it should be easy to change.

What do you think?

Beginner's Help and Guides / Dismounted cav build help
« on: June 29, 2015, 07:02:13 pm »
Hello everyone!

Alright, I have a lvl33 1h/great lance cav build that I often use dismounted (because i'm too poor and a peasant at heart :P )

I would like some help spending my next skill points, 3 this level, and 6 when i reach level 34.

Here it is :

The 0Ath doesn't seem to bother me because i'm part of the main line anyway, I thought adding one WM, and maybe one or two in shield or IF.

So what do you guys think?

Suggestions Corner / Wodao and Zhanmadao
« on: March 06, 2015, 11:42:08 am »
Hello everyone!

I have a suggestion.

Rename the Katana to Wodao and Nodachi to Zhanmadao, just to confuse and annoy "ninjas" and weeaboos.
It's basically the same weapons, but the Chinese names ;)

Beginner's Help and Guides / On New, Retextured and Hidden Items.
« on: March 02, 2015, 11:43:15 am »
Hello.

It seems to me that not all items are displayed in the shop. Well because some of them are not for sale.
But I would like to have a list of all the items that are not displayed in the shop, and how to obtain them (if it's possible).

I'll list here all the items i have encountered in-game that don't show in the shop.

-Crowned helmet =tournament event winner
-Boulder on a stick polearm =tournament event
-White Samurai armor set =in the shop but incorrect thumbnail => medium "Strange" armor set
-Yellow Chinese infantry armor =in the shop but no thumbnail =>"Lithuanian Lamellar"
(click to show/hide)
-Looney Toons Axe (unique item) =fun event "theMaze" 1st place (+ the title "the Master of the Maze")
-Green Felt Hat (unique item) =fun event "theMaze" 2nd place
-Beer mug =unknown
-Flaming Katana (??) =unknown
-Bullets =useless, from 2011 version of the game

Did i forget something?
(click to show/hide)
Also with the new patch, some items have incorrect icons in the shop because they have a new model.

So, do you know how to get these items?

Thank you.

(I edit the post when I have new info)

Beginner's Help and Guides / What counters horse archery?
« on: October 14, 2014, 01:22:42 pm »
Hello.

I am wondering what builds can counter HA effectively. Because I'm having a hard time fighting those two guys on EU1. You know ;) Smurf_Niluk and ThatOtherPieceOfShit, literally :P  (I can't remember his name but it sounds similar). I know they are very skilled with a lot of experience (unlike me) and probably have masterwork-everything (unlike me).

What doesn't work:
 - Inf without shield can't do much, will take arrows until dead
 - Inf shielders (1h or polearm) : With shield up =>bump-stunned (lowers shield) then arrowed ; Trying to counter-attack =>arrow-stunned (stops attack) then bumped
 - Melee cav works i guess, but like inf, I usually take an arrow mid-swing.

What may work:
 - Foot archers, crossbows?
 - Another horse archer.
 - Thrower and shield.
 - Teamwork and formations.

This is not a Chamber-Of-Tear-nerf-everything-buff-2h thread. I'm not asking for a HA nerf. I would like your advice on the best way to defeat horse archers.

Thank you :)

Strategus General Discussion / Strategus for [true] dummies : A real tutorial?
« on: September 22, 2014, 04:21:33 pm »
Hello.

I am looking for some basic infos about Strategus gameplay, because all i can see in the "Strategus for noobs" threads is for players that are experienced and have played previous versions of Strategus.

So i made a hero, i am now near Reyvadin. What now? I looked at and read all the tabs in "Strategus". I see that i have 100 troops, but nothing in inventory, this mean naked army?
Then i "entered" Ulburban. What can i do now?
Then i decided to attack a random "100 troops" guy (I am Tanit), just to see that i am now locked for 24 hours.
So tomorrow at 1pm, what will happen? 200 naked guys fighting in the snow? :)

Thank you.
;)

Suggestions Corner / The Timurid cavalry pike : two handed polearm on horseback
« on: September 17, 2014, 10:42:52 pm »
First, let me show you :

Battle between Timur and the Mamluk Sultan
(click to show/hide)

Battle of the Twelve Heroes
(click to show/hide)

Source, and more Timurids http://greatestbattles.iblogger.org/Persia/Timurid/Timurid_Soldiers.htm

It would behave somewhat like the Great Lance from Native, except you can't couch, and can't use a shield, but you can block manually.



Proposed stats: (I don't know exactly how it could be balanced. Help from players with more experience in cRPG is welcome.)

Realism Discussion / Accuracy penalty for ranged weapons, based on helmet type.
« on: September 17, 2014, 04:10:19 pm »
Soldiers using ranged weapons throughout history always tended to use a limited range of helmet types due to practicality and physical restrictions.

As an archer and owner of a nasal helmet, i can tell you that you can't properly use a bow with these kinds of helmets, because the nasal gets in the way of the string. You can still shoot, but you must use another stance, with the hand holding the string way lower, decreasing your accuracy. This would be the same for any helmet with face protection (all the close helms) or very broad brim. The broad brim is less of a problem when using a short bow. This shouldn't affect crossbows and thrown.

Thrown weapons should get a small accuracy penalty when used with very broad brimmed helmets and those helmets with a spire (like the tagancha) and a bigger accuracy penalty when used with helmets that have random stuff on top (like the horned great helm and the strange helms).

This is deduced from my experience with bows and javelins while wearing different types of helmets and armors.

There should be even more restrictions or penalties, like the complete inability to use ranged weapons with mittens, be it bows, crossbows or thrown (this is from experience, wearing kote and trying to throw a javelin that ended in a total failure).

But all this will probably never get implemented in the game, and that's the reason I'm posting it in the Realism section. ;)

Scene Editing / Orange fog.
« on: September 15, 2014, 10:14:16 am »
Hello.
Most maps are good. But this orange... fog, looks bad. You know, on desert maps. I guess it represents a sandstorm, but it looks really bad. A nice normal (sunny, cloudy, foggy and even rainy) would be much better. Quoting the chat : "Mars mission again!"

Thank you for reading.

cRPG Technical problems / Colored lance icon missing
« on: September 13, 2014, 06:48:21 pm »
Hello, me again.
Sorry about the double post (delete it if it's inapporpriate).

I know it's just a small problem. In the shop, the icons for colored lances are missing. I'm wondering if it's just on my computer.
