E061 Let's Play Mount & Blade: Warband - Companion Reshuffle

[TheMahjohng]

lol i keep seeing jeremus i think with a crossbow and a bow but no arrows or bolts :P

[theThunderboy2000]

the companions understand you

[pyrosoldier1]

How come you never set up a patrol on you castle and put improvements of the village?

[TheZemalf]

@pyrosoldier1 There hasn't been a need for a patrol, as I can't make them big enough to win fights against enemy lords, so patrol would just be an extended alarm system and there's no need for that at this point.

And Violet only has one castle and castle only has couple of upgrades, which I built if I recall or just skipped the prison tower as it's quite useless at this point of the game.

[pyrosoldier1]

@TheZemalf Oh okay i understand the patrol but is the the village dugar is under your control?

[TheZemalf]

@pyrosoldier1 If I remember correctly, no, just the castle. The village is a separate fief that is often given to someone else. Violet had one village earlier in the game which was then lost when Dhirim was lost, losing the upgrades I had build there. With that said, I always build a watchtower and a messenger post to villages, and then look into the other ones.

[OfWarriorsAndDice]

do your Companions lose Stats when they are separated from you when you get Captured?? or suffer any penalties?

[TheZemalf]

@OfWarriorsAndDice No there are no penalties or stat loss for the companions.,It's just the inconvenience of finding them again (or ransoming them back if they were caught as prisoner). And of course, they don't gain experience like the ones active in party

[ytabil]

hey, just if you wanna know, you can ctrl+space and fast forward, sorry for crap english :P

[TheZemalf]

@ytabil Aye, I use CTRL+SPACE to speed up travel all the time when there's no war, unless I forget or have something to say right there.

[IMakeVidsAboutRS]

hey man, i love the videos, i know you might not have much time to put videos up, but could it be possible to upload these more frequently? i must know what happens to Lady Violet :o. also, is is possible you could maybe start a with fire and sword lets play alongside this warband one? thanks

[TheZemalf]

@IMakeVidsAboutRS I'm putting videos out when I put out videos, it's as simple as that ;) I wish I'd have all day to play games, but I need to pay the bills. And I won't start / play M&B with Fire and Sword alongside Warband, after Warband I'll see if I play that or some other game.

[dazmaza]

hey zemaf its daza talking your best fan iv watched every vido of mount and blade warband and i cant wait for more you are so good at what you do on you tube i also think you should gather up an army a vast numbers

[iGuNnErZ44]

thanks for the help

[PaXeR83]

My Friends are: Alayen (Horse-Knight) Firentis (Horse-Sword-Knight) Bashetur (Horse-Archer) Klethi (Harass-Foot-Soldier with max out AGI) Bunduk (Crossbow-Sword-Foot-Soldier) Support (always on the buttom of the army-list and put in the group "support" with horses to send them at the end of the map, while fighting. They go for max INT.) Deshavi - Pathfinding, Tracking, Spotting [in the group Archery] Yamira - Engenering, Tactic Jeremus - Healer I love this group! Greetz from Germany!!!!

[TheZemalf]

@PaXeR83 Aye, that's the other "no conflicts" set of companions (no one hates anyone + some friend "pairs"). I used the other 8 before I lost some of'em couple of episodes back (Matheld & Nizar, Rolf, Katrin, Artimenner & Lezalit, Marnid & Borcha). I always liked Marnid & Borcha, because they were the first, and only two companions in the original M&B when it was still in alpha/beta.

[PaXeR83]

@TheZemalf But Marnid doesn´t like robbing caravans ... that´s the only thing i don´t use him. And if i take him, i have to take Katrin too, and she is ... hmmmm ... like Justin Bieber ... *useless* ;-)

[TheZemalf]

@PaXeR83 Yeah, Marnid's like that, but I'm not big on robbing caravans anyway, so I don't mind. And I guess it's what we're used to, and as far uselessness goes - that's why you level them up so they become anything you want :D

As with Katrin, I hope companions inventory management would count, then she'd be a must-have (she has 7 in it!), but even without it, I think she and Marnid fit well into a trader company (especially if one likes to roleplay a bit in M&B)

[taisen75]

yay another great warband video!!

[FurstyCheesegrater]

Oh, and let me ask, how much right to rule do you need before you can rule your own Kingdom? Because if it is 100 then it could take a long time!

Also, what are you planning to call your Kingdom? Or is it a surprise? :p

[TheZemalf]

@FurstyCheesegrater The name of Violet's kingdom is definitely a surprise, even I don't know it yet! :D

[TheZemalf]

@FurstyCheesegrater 100 is not needed. I've understood 50 Right to Rule is good starting point, so that's what I'm shooting for. But I haven't done this before, so I can't say for sure

[jlcjcdc]

@TheZemalf you dont have to have any right to rule but the more right to rule you have kingdoms like you more and when you try you convince lord to join your cause there is a better chance of them to say yes

[jlcjcdc]

@TheZemalf ps im not sure if the first one is correct

[jlcjcdc]

@TheZemalf btw the first kngdom you should take is the sarranids

[SuperBulletRain]

love it :)

[FurstyCheesegrater]

Ah, another tasty episode of Zemalf's outstanding LP!

I'd better grab my popcorn! :D
