For those unfamilar with Mount And Blade, I'm in Rhodoks(the factions are all a bit different from standard, but it's easily recognizable what's what). The first image is zoomed in so you have a bit better idea where exactly I am. Except for the Gold bar.Īnd here's my starting position. Also, I put all the proficiency points into throwing.Īnd this is what I look like and the gear that I'm starting with. I've never used Trowing weapons( except in some tournaments.), so this will be new. I put the skill points into Trade, Surgery, First Aid, trainer, and Power Throw. Put a point in Agility and Charisma to raise each to 15, and then put the rest in Intelligence. This is what my final distribution looks like.

Don't remember starting at level 2, but it might just be the standard for the module. Probably going to be some scrawny newbie. Instead, I know the real meaning in life Money and power.

On the plus side, I didn't turn out like some self righteous wimp. As long as you avoid those pesky set spears, it's good fun to just rid through groups of enemy knocking them flying - and after about three passes you can be racking up the prisoners.Īh, my Tale of Woe. Yep, getting a staff is pretty easy to do, and as a bonus gives you prisoners! Also, I don't think they've nerfed lances in the expansion, but the damage from your horse charging into them seems to have been increased. However you should quickly get a jousting lance, they're quite cheap. Trader background (Or merchant?) gets you a staff that could be used as a short lance. However, you'll not be getting to do any of that: I vote that you bring up your Throwing skill and use exclusively those weapons!Įdit: Either the starting short spear really sucks, or I just can't aim on the laptop, or maybe they did nerf it, but either way, couching isn't as great as it was in Native so far. If you can get a long polearm (light lances work pretty well, since they're also fast) then not only can you devastate anything riding towards you, but also keep your distance in a cavalry chase while stabbing the enemy's face in the face. Grab a warhorse as soon as you can, upgrade to a charger when you can afford, and watch yourself plough through infantry like a monster. I don't think any backgrounds grant you a lance, but some Deserters (especially Rhodock) should carry them and you can get some on the cheap.


I'm not sure if they changed the mechanic in Native Expansion, but unlike Warband, couching your lance in Native is an uber tactic against many enemies.
