Mount And Blade Floris Guide
Sep 18, 2012 The Floris Mod Pack is a compilation of a lot of mods for Mount & Blade Warband, combining the best and adding even more.
A simple and easy to follow guide.Other Mount & Blade: Warband Guides:.Starting OptionsAs soon as you launch the game, the main menu presents you with several options. These are:. New Game: Starts a brand new campaign game. Load Game: Loads up a previously saved game. Quick Battle: Set up a quick skirmish. Can be useful to practice without worrying about losing your troops in campaign.
Options: Modify options to make the game work better on your machine. You can also change certain functions to make the game easier or harder.Since this is most likely your first time playing, you'll want to hit New Game, unless you want to try out the Quick Battle stuff. Either one is fine, not like I can stop you.New GameWhen you click New Game, you are greeted with a couple options to start customizing your character. These options are Male and Female.
Males tend to have an easier time in the game, as all the requirements to gain fiefs are low (only about 150 renown I believe). However, playing as a woman leads to more interesting games. Women have an easier time finding a spouse, as they don't have to worry about learning poems or getting on the father/brother's good side. As a result, the choice comes down to what you want. Do you want to be a male knight and earn glory the easy way, or do you want to be a knock off Xena, Warrior Princess, and make your own mark?
Your call.The next few options are for starting stats prior to seeing your character sheet. What each option does exactly is beyond me, but there are other guides that explain what each option does.
When you see your character sheet, there are 4 attributes. Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and Charisma.Strength is a measure of.strength. Kinda straightforward. It increases your health as well as allowing you to raise your Ironflesh and all the power stats (Strike, Draw, throw), increasing the amount of damage you can take and how much you can throw back at whoever decided it was a good idea to poke you with a spear.Agility is all about movement, and it affects all associated skills. Basically, if you move while doing it, it's probably agility based.
The big ones you need to worry about are Acrobatics and, if you want a horse, Riding. Acrobatics increases your on foot running speed, and acrobatics allows you to ride non-trash horses.Intelligence means you're a smart boi, and all skills that may involve some thinking beyond 'stab that' or 'shoot that' fall into this, includign Inventory Management, Path-Finding, and Wound Treatment. Inventory management gives you more slots to hold stuff in, pathfinding bootst your movement speed on the map, and wound treatment helps you heal faster if you get hurt. You also get a boost to engineer, which means you build siege equiptment faster.
Very good choice.Charisma allows you to have more troops and get better deals in trades. That's about it.And So, Your Story BeginsRight before you start the game, you can pick where you want to start. You can start in Praven, or you can start in the wrong town. Once you start playing, you'll be attacked by a bandit.
Scroll up on the mouse wheel to pull out your crossbow and do it again to pull your sword out. You also have a shield. Use what you have to murder the bandit (he probably had a family, you heartless bastard), and a man will run up to you. This is the merchant of insert town here (that better be Praven), and he has a job for you. Talk to him in his home and for the love of God, take his quest. It's a decent tutorial and it'll walk you through some of the basics of the overworld map, and other things. However, we'll follow his questline, and not the tutorial stuff.
You can read, right?When you hit tab and leave his house, run to the nearby villages and recruit volunteers. You only need 5, but who said you couldn't have 10 or 12? After that, go to the town you started in and go to the tavern. Talk to the merchant and he'll tell you to go find a group of bandits and learn where their hideout is. There are only 4 of them, and your starting weapons are good enough to make short work of them.
Now, go to the hideout and kill everyone there. The merchant's brother will thank you, and you can take all the loot the bandits had. This is good for some extra beginning cash, but they also have better armor that you can take.
Go back to the tavern and talk to the merchant. He will pay you about 200 denars, but he has one more thing for you to do. He wants you to help clear out the bandits in the town.
Accept this and kill bandits (you know the drill at this point). Once you're done, you'll go back to his house and get paid again (I think), and your respect in the town will go up. This means the town likes you. This is good.And now, finally, it's time to do your own thing.Making MoneyYou may notice that I mentioned getting extra money.
Everything in this game has a price. Have to pay Denars to hire them. Better troops? Pay to upgrade. Better armor? You get it by now.
Trivago.There are many options for making money. One is killing bandits and selling their loot, but you really don't make much like that. You could raid a village, but then a kingdom will dislike you, and you may be attacked by a lord of a kingdom.
Save the raiding for later. That leaves 3 ways to make easy money, and 2 of them don't require thinking. These are as follows:.
Trading: Buy crap from one town, sell crap to another. Bounties: Chaotic Neutral never felt so good. Collecting a lord's taxes (and then stealing said money): Rob the rich, who are exploiting the poor, to make yourself rich.I'll go into detail on each method in the following sections.Armor, Weapons, Horses, and SupplyArmies need two things to function in this game, food and money. Money is simple, just sell stuff. Food however must be purchased or stolen from defeated enemies/looted villages.
Keep an eye on how much food you have, as you don't want to run out halfway through a siege. Trust me, I know how bad it is. Meat spoils quickly, but dried meat and sausages will keep until they run out.
So does bread, cheese, and butter.Armor keeps you from dying immediately. The best armor in the game is plate armor, but it is prohibitivly expensive. If heavy armor isn't quite your style, find what you like, and try not to die. Helmets, boots, and gloves also count as armor. Experiment to find the best combinations for your build.Weapons make your enemies die faster.

Each weapon type has its own pros and cons, but it all boils down to what you want to use. I personally use the GodWar Cleaver, but you can do whatever you wantHorses are.well.horses. You can buy them to make yourself a cavalaryman/woman/whatever.TradingTrade is vital in Calradia, and you can profit from that simple fact.
This is the harder of the 3 options, as it does require some time to find where you can sell something and make the most profit. Now, when I say trade, I mean goods like Ale, Wine, Furs, Velvet, Spices.

All expensive stuff. The saying 'buy low, sell high' is key here. Find something like that at a low price (.
