I just dont know what to do in VC. I go around trading and making good money, but the entire combat aspect just seems so unfulfilling.
I wish there was a way to throw money at a faction to make it dominate, instead of messing with that yourself. Just hiring a bunch of top tier mercs and giving them to a lord or something. Then i could play a real merchant ally.
I did this
>Merchant for about 1.5 years, made shitloads
>Got myself 4 Skeids
>Set up refuge, maxed it out
>Decked out me and my followers in top tier gear
>Began amassing army at said refuge
From there you can pretty much do whatever you want, I suggest getting about 200+ men together, getting them ranked up, then doing port assaults for absolute slaughters
if you have a bandit leader as a prisoner and 50+ other prisoners, you can send them off as an army to go fuck shit up
Looking at Morghs in Warwolf, the Japs are supposed to have a Tier 4/5/6 Cav tree: Yabusame, Yabusame Elite, Akasonae.
Has anybody seen them? Wondering why nothing can be upgraded to them. Yabusame are Horse Archers which is neat, then the Akasonae ditches the bow for a Nodachi. Or maybe for 4 Nodachi, since it's listed 4 times for some reason.
thats the thing, theres a bunch of neat stuff in the game, but its not very inspiring to me at all.
All the factions are just.. theres a bunch of squabbling christian kingdoms, and then theres some vikings that are just basically bandits.
Theres no real connection to inspire me to work towards a goal, i just dont care about any of the factions. I guess then im supposed to make my own faction or something, but honestly.. i can have a comfy refuge on an island and make far more money playing a neutral trader than i could with fifes out my ass.
Basically they have managed to make a game that makes me just not feel like its in my best interest to be violent.
Warwolfs weird, it has tier 7 troops for china that you cant access because of an arbitrary scripted lock
you could start a new game as a faction king, that might inspire you to create your own empire
Kinda helps when you have muh heritage/historical interest in the period to connect you
There's also a tier 5 ninja, funny. Labeled as an archer with 444 1h/2h/throw.
Yeah, there are several. Hubaoqi (Cav) from Qingzhoubing, Baimaqibing (Cav) from Qianweibing, an unaffiliated Songqibing. They're all labeled T6 (trp_cc_c_6 troop_china_cav_6), so he fucked up or just couldn't decide.
>haven't played MP for a couple of years
>'Huh, wonder if anyone plays VC, never actually tried it on MP'
>find one server with a load of folks on
>shield walls that actually work
>banners and horns that give bonuses
>Block + Q to beat your weapon on your shield
Fuck Javelins though, and those nasty two handed swords everyone else but the Norse seem to have.
