Playing the Floris mod for Mount & Blade:Warband. Running my own faction, only have Dhirim and Ergellon castle, so all holdings are crucial. Bitter war with the Swadians is raging, it's all I can do to ride back and forth along the front, regularly charging into battle with 2-1 odds or worse, only winning because every last soldier I have is a war hardened bastard. The news comes: Dhirim is under siege. Race back, recruiting at every location on the way, dumping items and slower units for just a few points of travel speed - the best soldier can't help if he doesn't arrive to the fight. There are roughly 1100 Swadian soldiers on hand, maybe 500 of them are low tier levees that don't matter, the rest are good enough to go man to man against my forces, a good 100 are very high tier units that I will personally need to engage. My garrison plus my force numbers 350. I fully expect to lose every last one of my men, see my capitol looted, and my nation dissolved. But I fight anyways, and the battle goes surprisingly well. Over the span of four hours, the first wave comes and is repulsed, the enemy losing some 200 of their fodder, my forces taking no deaths but suffering some 30 men too wounded to fight. A reprieve of a half day. Another wave. 150 of theirs for 40 of ours. Their better units are coming in now, and we have already reached the tipping point. Another reprieve. Third wave. Reprieve. Fourth wave. They still number nearly 400, and we number 100, but their men are fresh while ours are battered and in low spirits. And then, during what I thought would be the final reprieve, the last gasp of a dying dream, in rides 2200 Sarranid soldiers, hell bent on wrecking Swadian shit and willing to attack the siege camps for what I assume to be "the lulz". I rode out and joined them in their attack, and managed to capture the Swadian king for it. I don't know how to end this story. I guess now I regroup, build numbers, and pre-empt any more sieges.

Anyone know how to dig on your tile without having a numpad? Treasure maps are frustrating me to no end because of it.

Beamsorrow the artifact steel chain mail. At first I loved it because it is so incredibly useful, and it came right at the tail end of the forts first siege, which had claimed a number of dwarves, something of the order of fifteen brave souls. I started burying the fallen, when I noticed that one of my dead was a guardsman rather than a solider. I try to make my soldiers my no-family, no-friends killers and make my guard out of the useless-but-social migrants. Since a guardsmen died, I start looking for unhappy dwarves, anyone that knew Cog Towerbeam. I find only one sad dwarf, one of my blacksmiths. Now, I notice in this smiths relations that his wife is the smith that just made Beamsorrow, and checking her page shows the guard is her little brother. A very concise web of depression inside the family.

Seriously that is all? Daaaaaang. Thank you very much for the help and for your code.

And then apply that every immigrant wave and birth?

Sorry if I'm missing something frustratingly obvious, but I am having issues with the hack to fix fortress born critters growing. First off, I have to be honest and say I'm not comfortable or competent with lua. Whenever I try to run lua files, I get that windows prompt to select the program to open it with. Is there something I'm needing to get? Or is this something that someone could just put up as a download for those of us who are not quite so savvy?

I have two that I think might be toughies.

The first was, I think, on the PS2. You controlled a boat in some sort of military conflict, from a top down perspective. You could outfit it before missions, customizing the gun batteries and stuff, upgrading your crew.

The other one, most definitely on the N64, had you as a wizards apprentice in this big castle. It was a 3d third person. The intro sequence was all about going to visit some magical plant guy in the woods, finding his house empty, getting ambushed by goblins and poisoned. Then you get sent out on a quest to find an antidote or something, and you can recruit people into your party.

May I get the HS for the village that has Talvara, Nil, and kilakan? Want to game with my Old World homies.
