I wonder if an economic crash can unseat him or will Turkey become another -stan country?

Umm Turkestan already exists. This username is taken, please choose a new unique ID.

I don't have access to the stats, but last I heard (years ago) QMU/QMD was not working properly. I didn't ever hear about it being fixed. Can a dev confirm whether or not it does anything currently?

If you have viking conquest (it's worth the purchase if you like M&B) it's really fun to build up an army of javelineers. Crossbows barely exist and are not end-game beasts like in vanilla, bows are good as usual but throwing weapons are buffed into proportion with archery (considering quiver size). It is amazing to see a hail of spears break a shield wall, then fire again immediately and lay waste to your enemy. You can play sandbox mode on the British Isles/France/Norse real world map and you get a whole new set of kingdoms and troop trees.

The RPG module is pretty good, but if you want to play single player and have played vanilla M&B enough times to feel burnt out it brings some new life to the game. Map, kingdoms, troop trees, etc. are really well done and feel just like "real" M&B in a different setting that happens to lay heavy on the real history bit.

Full Rhodock Sharpshooter strategy was fun though.

Yeah once you get 20+ of those guys (and a bunch more of the lower ranked crossbow guys from the same troop tree) they sometimes kill all the enemies before you can even get into melee range on your horse. I liked combining them with mounted Swadians. Have archers hold somewhere and have cavalry follow you. Spin your horse train in circles around the enemy blob while the crossbows tear them up.

Place near me does a great old fashioned with Bulleit, and they're $5 a pop too. Tuesday nights their $8-10 burgers are $4 with fries, it's a great deal.

General Off Topic / Re: Am I racist? 2.0

« on: August 02, 2018, 08:05:10 pm »

Front page in the local newspaper was about a race thing! The big old historic hotel downtown has a mural from 1949 that was recently restored.

It depicts one of the big local history things here, the Jerry Rescue. Some dudes rescued a slave and helped him escape to Canada.

They currently have a drape over the part of the mural that depicts the escaped slave himself, in handcuffs. Because... it offends people? I can understand people getting mad about statues of southern confederate generals, but people here are offended by a mural that references the fact that slavery was a thing that existed? Even though it depicts a selfless act to free a slave it's bad because it depicts slavery at all? Why am I ending all my sentences with question marks???

This doesn't even make sense. There is a monument downtown that depicts the rescue and it's fine, nobody has asked for it to be removed or covered up. If the mural as a whole was considered offensive they could put the whole thing behind a curtain. How is covering up JUST THE BLACK GUY not more racist?

what the fuck is even happening. we all live on hell world and nothing makes sense anymore

edit: just now learned of a forum word filter. Has that been here all these years? traitor

The first armor doesn't look bad, but it's very kuyak-y. The detail is fantastic and if Zimke you can be sure it's as historically accurate as possible. It just doesn't seem that different from several other items alread in the game. The breastplate has a distinctive model and sounds like it will have distinctive in-game stats. Cutlass looks fuckin sweet, who wouldn't want a scimitar with a basket hilt?

Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories.

You know Freud is widely discredited and has been since before you were born right?

Otherwise loved reading your post.

Mercs from the tavern in regular M&B aren't actually bad in combat, just extremely expensive so you should only grab them if your faction marshall demands that you meet up with troops and you need them RIGHT NOW OR ELSE. Not sure if that is changed in that mod since I haven't played that.

Merchant is harder, but probably not the hardest. Being "evil" and sacking villages/stealing cattle will make you hostile with huge faction armies right off the bat, nobody likes you, you have no resources, etc. is the hardest way to play. There is also no payoff/endgame to this play style. It's kind of like the devs didn't finish it. Fun to play hardcore mode and see how much of an infamous little shit you can become before you die. Just don't get too attached to your character. It will end sooner or later. Probably sooner.

Have max possible ranks in pathfinding on all your party members. The best way to not lose a battle is to not get into a battle. This also lets chase down and beat the shit out of tiny groups of bandits that you have 100% chance to win against, but they always run as soon as they see you on the map. Faster trade routes as well.

Do you plan to attend your battles but sit back and issue commands? Or will you use the skip battle option? If you are skipping battles I would recommend you grab all the unique NPCs you can find and train up tactics on yourself and all of them as well. After that go for surgery. Become a cold and impersonal general. Your troops are nothing but numbers, just the same as a bag of wool or salt in your inventory. Maximize your profits in trade and war. Play the numbers game and come out on top.

Training skill is worth considering as well. If you have one bad battle and lose a huge % of your army, all you need is one high level party member (could be you, could be unique NPC) with training maxed. You can turn worthless peasants into at least basic footmen that make a difference in battle outcome. Just swing through a friendly faction and grab every peasant for hire. Camp out somewhere safe for a few days and you are ready to throw more soldiers into the meat grinder.

One day aliens will come and ask us why we put things like dead monkeys and dogs into orbit.

Personally I hope we tell them that they were the king Monkey and Dog at the time just to mess with them.
