I know that one option is to just let them escape on their own while I hold them in captivity with my army or in a town.I suspect that I will not receive a ransom for these captured lords anymore, and wish to let them go to free. I have captured lords of a given faction, and that faction has since been defeated. Once you have enough renown, and a sizable army, the sovereigns will start inviting you to become a lord.Is there any way to manually release captured prisoners at your own will? (let them go free) Of course you can make some money if you take him prisoner, and then ransom him back, so it's all about which you want more.
If you're in a position to take a lord prisoner or free him, he'll love and/or respect you if you choose the latter. While running errands for nobles will improve their opinions of you, they value their freedom most of all. Nobles can be convinced to help you do all sorts of things if they like you. The different sovereigns of the different kingdoms will generally only help you if you are affiliated with their specific kingdom. You get more by winning battles and tournaments.
The amount of men drawn to your warband is directly related to how much of it you have. This is in your character screen somewhere.
Even if you enjoy the former you should keep in mind the latter. What's worse, he's using you as his tool to do this. He's a warmonger, profiting off the suffering of others. You can also rope his horse into a wall and then charge him from behind. This does a sizeable amount of damage and requires much less preparation.Īim for the head! It gives a slight damage boost if you can hit it.
This will one-hit in most situations.Īnother way to deal damage without getting a full charge is to thrust the lance. You may have noticed that after you go fast enough, your rider will lower his lance in a couched position. Lances are a special type of weapon that rely on speed to inflict damage. If you get to the final round of a tournament and you get a lance and the other guy gets a sword do you just give it up as a loss, I see no way to inflict damage with a lance when it's 1v1 in an arena. Is there a way to get a crosshair with weapons? These are just a few 'next steps' you can take from where you are. Attack bandits and sell what you collect.Set up productive enterprises in cities.With every level of leadership you gain more space for troops, just as with every level of charisma and every 25 renown you gain more space. Increase your renown, honor, and experience. I am struggling to understand how I rise beyond being fairly wealthy leading a Warband of moderate size. They are more likely to support you, and are more willing to follow your suggested courses of action. Lords with a relation of 30+ consider you a friend. It is good practice to get into best relations with as many lords as possible, it will save you down the road for sure. Your renown and honor effects how lords respond to and perceive you. Generally, if he is dishonorable and hated, he's more likely to defect to another kingdom, leaving you with the people who dislike you. Under your reports, you can check that Lord's relationship with the others, to see how disliked he is. You can choose to work for all the lords, and if you keep getting the same quest, simply decline and wait for the next one.
Never let metagaming get in the way of fun, unless you like that sort of thing. Is it a good idea to keep working for this guy? If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them below. Is it a good idea to keep working for this guy? His party size is only about 40, but might he continue to climb and I can rise with him? I am struggling to understand how I rise beyond being fairly wealthy leading a Warband of moderate size.Īlso is there a way to get a crosshair with weapons? And if you get to the final round of a tournament and you get a lance and the other guy gets a sword do you just give it up as a loss, I see no way to inflict damage with a lance when it's 1v1 in an arena.Īlright, I'm going to break this down into a few parts. I have this Emir who likes me, he keeps giving the same quest, to incite a war with a different enemy each time, I've done it to the point where he is about +40 for me, but all the other Emirs are suspicious and distrustful of me. I absolutely love this game, started this play throughbeing asked to tax a village by one of the European guys, ended up holding about 5 grand and did a runner with it instead of handing it in. Making lots of money trading and sacking villages. I'm mostly based in the desert and have a few businesses and a merc contract with the sultanate, this covers costs for my warband of about 40 cavalry. Hi, I'm on my first proper playthrough of Warband with no mods.
