I'm so sick of fighting, we have been in constant war with all the nations for a year, the vaegirs are annihilated and so would be the nords if we didn't make peace.

[Mindmaker]

That's a feature that's been around for ages, but only officially active in versions 1.26 and up.

The basic plan is to build an appropriate factory in areas that have a high demand for said trade good. I find that the sell cost of the trade good is more important than the buy cost of the required materials.

That being said, the price of trade goods fluctuate (Though the fact that you're adding to the supply doesn't seem to affect the economy at all). So it's possible that your profits will go negative, but shouldn't happen if you've placed your factories correctly. The exception is velvet, which barely moves at all in any town excluding Jelkala.

If you're at war with the faction that controls the town that houses your factory, your profits (or losses) will be "Sequestered" until the end of the war or a non-hostile faction captures the town.

Profits from factories are affected by tax inefficiency though, so toss those extra villages away if you want to maximize your profits.

Keep in mind that it does take some time for factories to actually pay for themselves though.

To bad that your choice is permanent.
Looks like I have to be sparing until I have 10k for the most lucrative deals.

I've got a business in every single town on the map right now. I make about 10k a week, minus army costs. I suspect I'll make a lot more once I take a fief.

And what do you mean your choice is permanent? You can shut down businesses to open other ones.


Anyhoo, if anyone wants to duel you can add me on Steam.

Man, I was just playing as the kingdom of nords, and, in the middle of a war with the swadians that seemed to be about to end as half their kingdom was taken over, the vaegirs attacked. Shouldn't be a problem, once the war with the swadians ended we could shift our full focus there. It's actually going quite well as I'm randomly elected the marshal and subsequently lead the capture of a bunch of vaegir settlements. However, the Rhodoks attack despite having no borders with us and march in and take both of my fiefs, Praven and Tevarin, while I'm fighting the Vaegirs. Then King Ragnar is like, 'oh well thanks for being the marshal we don't need you any more.'
Also, the whole mechanism for making lords defect to your faction is really screwy. With 1300 renown, 8 persuasion, 100 honour rating, and friend status with someone who really hates their liege, they tell me that they won't join because I'm friends with vipers and vultures, presumably because I'm friends with literally my entire faction and several sarranid and khergit lords I've never met.

Actually, you can lose money with the town business thing, when cities and villages around it get hit a lot.

Curaw and Dhirim are hands-off cash cows @ 500 per week with Iron Works.  Dhirim can be sieged a whole lot...

Shariz is a hands-off cash cows too, I think with Linen?  Or was it Iron Works?  Don't remember.

To be fair, I wouldn't trust anyone Taisa or Klargus have a positive opinion of.

Not really, if you go talk to your master <profession name+er>, you'll have the option "It's no longer possible for me to continue operating this enterprise". You'll get some money back and can start a new business immediately; unless your relation with the town dropped below 0.

[Mindmaker]

Yay I single handedly captured my first caste AND THE KING GAVE IT TO ME!
Now I'm not sure how I shall defend it.

Will recruits in there gain XP if i leave a character with trainer in there?

[Blaze]

I don't think you can garrison companions...

The diplomacy mod gives you the option to pay to have someone recruit and train troops in order to garrison castles.

Linen, like 800 a week.

Just wanted to give everyone a head's up on a mod for the basic Mount and Blade that is set in the Warhammer universe. I think it is very entertaining, I have sunk many, many hours into it so far.

Most of the work was done by one man, but he recieved supprt for 2 others. So, that being said, it is not perfect. However, it captures the feel of the setting and has a lot to offer those who can get past some of the more unusual looking models.

There is a pretty large update for it coming out very soon that will resolve many issues.


Anyways here it is:

They just released Steam Achievements for Warband. Not a big thing although they are rather amusing references.

Excepting an actual update sometime soon perhaps.

[Mindmaker]

So I started a new game again.

My leader will be a mounted archer with good melee capabilities and skilled at looting.

I'll leave the important party skills to 2 party members, 1 shall become a trader/diplomat, while the other 5 become warriors.

When I start my own kingdom I'll promote my noble warriors to vasalls and later on, even the commoners, while the specialized party members stay by my side.

What do you think of it?
How do you plan out your party?

Ten dollarbucks on steam

[Lumbajak]

I have already made use of this fact.

Again.
