![]() ![]() You and your heroes can all be riding Coursers, but you won't go faster than if you were all riding Swaybacked Sumpter Horses overland until your Riding skills go up. Riding is important for everyone, since overland movement rate is calculated using a combination of the mounted/marching speed of your troops, and your heroes' Riding skill. Oh, and the Trainer skill is the only skill that doesn't use the best skill in your party every member of your party with the Trainer skill will give XP to lower-level troops, so it's worthwhile if you have a couple extra skill points to give pretty much everyone in your party some Trainer.Ĭombat skills are useful for everyone, but you should try to specialize, either archery or melee. Good skills to ignore for yourself and pawn of on your heroes are medical skills (First Aid, Surgery, Wound Treatment), Spotting, Tracking, Path-Finding, Engineer, Trainer and Tactics. Prisoner Management and Inventory Management are only useful for you it does absolutely nothing for your heroes. for yourself, the Leadership skill is essential. Those can't be blocked with just a weapon and they do so much damage they tend to immediately destroy any shield that's used to block. Use a lance for best results and use the couching attack. Ride past, slash at them, keep going to prevent counterattacks. Don't sit still and try to pound through enemy defenses with your weapon. Horseback combat is all about hit and run. Like you, might have something to do with my FPS reflexes rebelling. This is kind of suboptimal, but I just can't seem to get the hang of moving my mouse whilst I attack. I set the combat to Auto-Block so I don't have to block a specific direction, and I actually use keyboard direction to control the direction of my attacks. The other weapons you can get good with, with practice. Shield and One-Hander is pretty much the best weapon combination. How much attention do I need to pay to the constant updates that Count So-and-So sacked the village of Arsescratch, and that the Duke of Whomever escaped captivity? Is any of that relevant to me as I desperately try to avoid those frightfully well-armed and armored Deserters? I have a handful of soldiers under my banner- what the hell should I be doing with them? How do I keep them happy, other than providing a varied diet? How can I make big stacks of money? So many skills! Which are good? Which are essential? Which can be pawned off on NPCs? I do OK on foot, as long as I don't end up fighting multiple enemies simultaneously. but I suppose that's just a matter of practice. I have trouble controlling the direction of my swings- my FPS reflexes insist that I should be pointing the mouse right at the enemy, not moving it away from him! Blocking with the shield is easy with a 2-handed weapon, it's much harder. With the other weapons I'm lucky to get 3 opponents down, and often I get taken out without any KOs to my name. ![]() usually take out 2-5 opponents before going down, personal record thus far is 9. I've done 50 or more of the free-for-all arena melee matches, with the wooden weapons and grunting shirtless men. ![]() I blundered my way through the training and the rescue-the-merchant's-brother quest. ![]()
