Mount & Blade Warband: Napoleonic Wars

Think I'll start rocking the 104th tag, too.

This mod is a breath of fresh air from cRPG.

Had some pretty epic moments in siege. Loving the destructible walls 

[bosco]

My siege experience so far:

- run to wall from a spawn 500m away
- get shot while running up
- repeat
- try to climb a glitched, half destroyed wall
- get shot
- keep running

And low fps. Maybe the map was just shit, though.

Try commander battle... its the best

One thing I find hilarious about this game... That awkward moment when you charge into melee with someone and they...actually block!? Your brain can't comprehend this for a moment. A NW player blocking? You check the log after one of you dies. Oh, its X from cRPG. Now it makes sense =D.

Happened to me quite a few times last night. Surprisingly, on one of the servers there was actually a discussion on how blocking is useless. How "The system sucks promotes spamming". I was just playing around with the sapper bombs and was 1-9. (Axe melee kill when I couldn't ignite it in time). Decided to go officer for a sword and got fourth place on my team in two lives before the map ended. People just don't block...I feel like Goretooth 1shotting peasants left and right in there.

Mhhmm, I know what you mean. Sometimes it feels just bad to even use a sabre biquet.

I just use the bayonet, the damage is insane and u can also use the up-attack wich can be tricky to spot at times

The swords are good, especially the light cav sabre, but yeah the musket is probably the best melee weapon.  Last night I did a one man bayonet charge up a crumbled wall into a fort and did the cRPG arrow dodging wiggle dance™ while about 10 people shot at me then went on a bayonet rampage while they all tried to reload.   

I'm looking forward to joining a regiment but want to wait and see which one is on the most often when I play.

I've found the only thing ruining my blocking is lag. A server with 150-200 people on, which the servers don't seem particularly well suited to handle (constant shifting pings all around), can really screw me up sometimes. But with a good connection the bots are more dangerous than general NW players. The bayonets insane damage makes melee fights incredibly easy with any semblance of blocking.

[Zanze]

I get basically EU ping on most servers. Even if they are in the US. Shame really, but I guess running around at normal cRPG ping in melee wouldn't be too far to these noobs. Poor souls.

104th_BoxxyEscorte_Marlyse  ready for duty.

I will certainly look for a real clan latter, but the 104th good enough for now.


For now, I have tried conquest and have great fun with it.

Except for one thing, all the player got really long name, so the report casualty is very annoying on the Chat ^^

Artillery on Commander Battle is so much fun.

The enemy was in perfect shooting position at the hill in the background:

104th_ is the tag, you can add a random rank after that and then your name. 104th_Murican_Earthdforce for example. We welcome all crpg players but wont play much outside of EU primetime. Probably an announced session soon.

Kewl. Wonder what rank I'm gonna use :/
