I need some help please.

Firstly, I've owned this game forever and can't believe I never played the multiplayer..it's great fun.

So last night I discovered this mod, got all the stuff downloaded and registered...after about an hour of running around in pajamas and a dagger and pleading with people to tell me how I upgrade, I discovered the store and whatnot...so I buy myself a nice cheap 2 handed ax and a fancy leather shirt, but when I get in the game, I can't use it. I didn't see any prerequisites for the stuff...how do you know what you can and can't use.

Also, I plan on playing a horse archery type guy...is that viable? It was my favorite thing in SP, but I don't know how that would work because I don't know how the stats and requirements work in this mod yet. Can you even be successful with all these guys running around in gnarly plate with soup pots on their heads?

Thanks if you can help.

Oh and do graphics mods work with this game? I just reinstalled warband to play this and it looks like shit without the mods I used to use.

THis mod can seem little hard to get into for a new guy. I myself went from single player M&B to crpg. I joined a clan as soon as i could one that offerd full training.

Anyway you can awser your questions by searching this forum you posted in.  but here is a quick tip for you.

weapon stats

Weapom length: The lenght of the weapon, not the reach
Weight: I go for heavy weapons as you can stun opponents blocks with hold attacks
difficulty:  This is charachter strengh, weapon has 11 difficulty ? then you need 11 strengh.
Speed rating: the attack speed of the weapon
thrust damage: stab them with the pointy end
swing damage: left right over head attacks
slots: how many equitment slots the weapon takes.


Armor

The difficulty in armor stat works the same as weapons

Do not go horse archar as your new go infantry and learn how the mod works 1st and save some money HA is very expensive upkeep

Difficutly uses the same formula in single player. power draw for bows, power throw for throwing weapons and STR for armor, melee and crossbow. Another thing is the slot system. You'll figure it out, if you monkey with it a bit. Another thing is, always ask for help or check some guides when building your character. Otherwise, you'll get a useless character after lots of effort. Go and read 5-6 guides. It is something you know already, but in a bit different game dynamics.

Also: Never go for ranged first, it is frustrating compared to native. The reason for this is there are lots of whiny twohander/polearmers like rufio playing this game, and devs should keep them happy.

Edit: I meant, the ranged is frustratingly useless compared to native and even Vikingr.

What is meant by upkeep for ranged?

And I'm not worried about minmaxing or becoming elite or playing in clan wars or anything...I just want to mess around on the 100 player servers and have fun. Even if ranged isn't as effective as some giant two handed sword, I always find it more fun and satisfying. Thank you for the weapon explanations.

Do graphics mods worth with this mod?

[Ronin]

Well if you really want to go ranged, go as you like. There are lots of players who play as a ranged class, but remember you have been warrned

As for the graphics mod, I think you need to give it's full name and/or link to the mod to get the answer. Besides, I personally would like to download the mod you mentioned so that's why I want a link

Edit: another thing is, I think you want your character to be strong as it can be to have some fun from the mod. It is very hard to do so, without proper knowledge. Let me repeat myself, you have been warned.
