just don't elope, or you'll make an enemy of her dad.īackgrounds aren't too important, really. I haven't married in my male save game yet, but so far as I can tell a marriage that is blessed by the father will get you into that lord's good books, so you can make strong ties easier. In my female save I eventually settled for a pretty small-time lord, who didn't really help much. The game says female characters can gain more out of a marriage, which I guess is technically true as you can marry some powerful lord, but what I generally found even as a well respected war veteran was that none of the most powerful lords are interested in your hand in marriage. Male characters will have a MUCH easier time becoming a vassal to a king and acquiring a fife, but kings will more harshly judge women trying to gain power. Gender effects how nobles interact with you, while your background effects your starting stats. When you create your character, you'll first be asked about gender and background. I suggest turning the difficulty down to the easiest settings at first (you talk 1/4 normal damage). Once you get used to the game, you'll find it has one of the most intuitive fighting mechanics in any game around. At the start of the game, you will miss-time your attacks and blocks, and you won't have the best grasp on how much reach each weapon has (causing you to miss a lot fighting horse back). The game's combat takes some getting used to. The one thing to note is that your enemies will also couch their lances, so watch out! They generally prefer to go for normal attacks (which can still do a lot of damage), but leading a cavalry straight into an enemy cavalry can prove fatal.Ģ: Don't be dissuaded if you suck at first.
And if you don't kill your opponent, you will almost certainly break their shield. You can even take down an armoured war horse with one hit, if you hit it head on. Couched lance damage does immense damage. Then you just have to aim at your enemies.
You will automatically lower your polearm. To couch a polearm, all you have to do is get your mount to a galloping speed and not press either mouse key (attack or block). pitchforks and scythes - but generally speaking all 'spear' or 'lance' weapons can be. Not all weapons in the polearm family can be couched - e.g. First you need a polearm that is couchable (if it is, then in battle there will be a grey/red dot next to the weapon at the bottom right corner). I haven't played Warband's tutorial but original M&B did not include one of the most important gameplay elements in its so I'll add it here: COUCHED LANCING. I don't know another game that plays like Warband and you probably don't either. I know I died a lot around my first play through and I was always dirt poor, however this guide should help all of you beginners out there, as well as this some of you more experienced users may pick up a trick or two!ġ: This isn't a game you can skip the tutorial for. Warband is not the most friendly of games to start off with as many aspects of it are confusing.
