    Excellent.

    Well at the moment I'm in the "wasting Looters" part of my character, but eventually I'll try for some big battles.

    I have to say that I enjoy the new sound effects. Whacking someone with a staff and getting a solid wooden "thunk" sound is pretty satisfying. Same for the improved arrow and weapon draw sounds.

    Also, it's about time that a decent jump animation was put in.

    I have an older full version keyed up of M&B installed. I have lost my key. Is it somewhere in the folders so that I may retrieve it and write it down? It's just that once I un-install this, i've lost my full version forever.

    I uninstalled my old version and installed the new, and oddly enough it didn't even ask for my key. Perhaps it's buried in the registry somewhere.

    I like M&B but I refuse to play until whats his face makes Rhodoks not suck. Their veteran spearmen don't even have spears! The spear units that do have spears are still useless against horse charges because even a pikeman standing still gets knocked down by horses. They have crap armor compared to the other armies. Until he fixes Rhodoks I won't be playing.

    What the hell are you talking about? I'm playing with some Rhodoks right now, and I have about a 60/40 split of spears and crossbows, and all my Veteran Spearmen have spears.

    Downloading now. Getting ~350KB/s from FileFront, which is much better than I expected.

    Supposedly he's going to be releasing a patch that adds an in-game banner designer. That'll be cool.

    I'm really digging the coat of paint on the UI. It's subtle, but nice.

    Also, on previous versions, if I maxed all the graphical settings, it would say my performance was around 32%. Now it's at 100%. Wonder if it's really that much more optimized.

    I really, really wish this game had multiplayer. Essentially, it's a pure combat game, like Quake 3 Arena(NOT in the gameplay, just in the concept that all there is to do is fight, aside from minor RPG management and purchase stuff)... except you can only kill AI opponents, which gets old. This game would be AMAZING multiplayer.

    Hey, where can a brother get a decent lance? I've been looking through various cities and get the 'vibe' from the different nations that they each favor a set of weapons, but I'm having a devil of a time finding a good long lance. I found a bent jousting one, I want a huge stabby death one.

    And by lance I don't mean penis.

    Question: have they fixed how stupidly complex it was to get your custom soundtrack working in game?

    Because that was always a problem with me. Half the songs would work and half wouldn't

    Damn, this game looks really professional now

    The animation is greatly improved, the music is incredibly better, the textures are all reworked and the entire thing seems like a full fledged game now

    The only problem is I'm not used to the pace. I'm used to killing river pirates and gathering up a small force with only a few denars to my name at the beginning. In this version I've won two tournaments and have already broken the thousand denar mark, have found like three or four NPC characters hanging around in bars who've joined up with me, and am having a hard time finding generic bandits to fight. I don't know if I really want to get involved in the faction warfare just yet

    Put the music in the folder and edit two values in a .cfg

    There are, but there's a catch: Every new version of M&B breaks compatibility with anything related to the older versions. Mods, savegames, the works. Now that it's retail, they can't really (or shouldn't really) do that anymore, so mods that were made for .960 (the last beta release) or even earlier to .935 now have plenty of time to port over to 1.0. I think 1.0 is why most modders stopped bothering trying to update for each old beta, and just assumed you had multiple installs of the game for old versions.

    They will email your serial key if you forgot yours. I lost mine when I got a new computer and they sent it to me.


    As far as mods go, this game has one of the most extensive modding communities I have ever seen. It is extremely easy to mod it yourself as well. The only catch is some mods only work with certain versions. Now that the retail is out, I'm sure the major mods will start getting ported over.

    Check out the mods section, there is something for everyone I guarantee it. There's even a star wars mod, though its pretty old.

    I was really surprised at how improved the game looks, feels, and sounds. I wasn't really expecting there to be much improvement at all from .960 but there really is. Rhodok troops actually have some real skills now even if the veteran spearman still uses a sword.

    This game is the best. Someone give me an army to play once I get time to start this up, I'm thinking infantry.

    Fuck, that only leaves Rhodok doesn't it? I mean I could play the Nords, but they only have one kind of unit while Rhodok has two.

    Sold. I suppose I can go 1/3 Nords, 1/3 Rhodok spearmen and 1/3 Rhodok archers in any case if I feel like it. Unless Vaegir archers are better, is there a good faction comparison somewhere?

    And yes, Swadia is an excellent cavalry faction. They are also the easiest one to play as.

    Rhodock spearmen kill the same way militia in castles kill

    Not entirely ridiculously rarely, but they really are just fodder.

    Rhodock sharpshooters are great though.

    There's nothing quite like having an army of 150 swadian knights and smashing a 500 man rhodock army in a massive cavalry charge.

    I figured I would have them as a counter against horsemen. I know this has never properly worked, but the day it finally does I will be ready!

    Edit: Just as psyco says, nothing can stop Swadian knights. That is kind of the reason I want to play an infantry army.
