This game...my god it's insane hard to sometimes solo some bands of looters or bandits. If they have guns and you have terrible armor you're probably gonna die. One lucky shot and your dead. My god.
I'm used to the guns in Mount and Musket: Battalion (a very excellent though multiplayer-only mod for Warband), which were literal death machines, so the guns seem a little underwhelming to me. I've noticed it's much harder to get AS powerful AS quickly, since you can just hire shittons of tribesmen for 10 gold a whack. Though maybe that will cut down on the plateau stage I tend to end up in where I have huge enemy armies chasing me but I can't manage to get enough dudes on my side to really fight back.
I bought it, where do I download it? is it just the warband download?
Neg, it's a separate game.

fucking internet drops out and the download has to start over again, problem is my internet always drops out every 10 minutes
I don't know how taboo this is, but torrents automatically restart, there are cracks on pirate bay, and I have a genuine key code, could I download one of those and discard the crack, then run my genuine key code?
I have never really heard of buying a game elsewhere and being able to put it on steam.
So that sucks for you.
(I am having so much fun playing this and listening to the bombacast)
uh... a lot of games can be purchased elsewhere and then activated on Steam. Basically anything that uses Steamworks for DRM for starters, and a bunch of others. All of the Humble Indie Bundle games come to mind as well. It's far from universal, but it's still a pretty common thing.
Yeah, I highly recommend Mount & Musket if you're interested in huge multiplayer napoleonic-era line battles.
Edit: Which, just to be clear, is a Mount & Blade: Warband mod, and contains no singleplayer content. If you enjoy the gameplay with guns that Fire and Sword has to offer, it's a fun mod for Warband. It may or may not be moving to F&S, I don't know, I have nothing to do with the development of the mod and not much to do with the community around it. But I know that there were 150 dudes at the last friday line battle, and it was awesome.

That was a super fun time. Too bad we got kicked for not following an order we didn't hear.

is that mod any fun in single player?
it looks like you'd have to have humans for every person in the regiment since the AI is uh
well they're good at being a mob of angry peasants armed with pitchforks
but not so good at keeping formation like that
edit: I can has reading comprehension
where do I get in on this Napoleonic multiplayer battle shit? I want to blast fools in the name of the Queen

ok I don't know what server he led me to
but that was totally unenjoyable
there were a dozen bots for every human, and they all had better equipment than the actual humans playing on the server
it was like bodysurfing, only instead of soothing ocean waves it was bullets penetrating my fragile body over and over again
I am under the impression that you're supposed to be able to make some money and upgrade your weapons if you can manage to kill more frequently than you die
but there wasn't a single person on the server who was managing it. Everyone had a k/d ration of <1
Initial reports from the internet suggest that my science was correct.
Mercenary Units do not seem to gain experience, apparently there are a different set of units available if you join a faction, and those will gain experience.
Going to continue my science with my 'testing' character and see if I can uncover the truth behind this.
Before you join a faction you can get units that can grow by defeating brigands that have them as prisoners.
That was a poorly constructed sentance that I can't be bothered to rewrite.
It's cool, I got what you meant, I never bother rescuing prisoners unless they are the same unit type as a unit I already have, because I don't like having too many groups when I look at my party screen.

I'm enjoying it immensely.
I miss the vanilla M&B troop commanding, I have to hit too many things to order my dudes around now!
also as a Nord player I'm used to charging my infantry into everything and now they tend to just jump in front of bullets sooooooooooo
I will buy this when it is released
EDIT do not even worry I have tracked it through the woods
Still not quite used to WFAS, but definitely glad I bought it.

if you buy a game and register it on steam later is the process automated
also can't wait to pop some grapes
So that sucks for you.

Threw a bunch of stats together, including maxed out Int / Cha / Trainer, set my level to 62 and got some troops.
Sat and waited, several days passed, no sign of improvement for any of my troops (they were all level 5), no message about them gaining experience.
Is it possible that Trainer does nothing now and we shouldn't be putting points in it?
nearly the whole fucking thing and then it "finishes" but the download is incomplete
I just want to fucking bomb my ISP

Yeah I noticed in the video options my performance estimates were a little lower than in Warband. Not by a drastic amount but I did notice it.
