The only downside to this is that it's pretty much impossible to actually lead your men while doing nothing but CLCs, so you usually just end up throwing your guys at the other guys to slow down their attack. The Couched Lance Guy, who takes as much Power Strike, Iron Flesh, and Shield as he can, gets the biggest heaviest horse he can (and a spare really fast horse for fighting Kergit) a huge shield and huge armor, and couched lance charges everything on the battlefield. I usually tilt it down, because tilting it up will miss infantry most of the time, and never maims enemy horses when fighting cavalry.ĮDIT: There's basically five builds I've found to be effective: Looking downward tilts it down and vice-versa. It's somewhat rare in the shops and will never, ever drop from a battle because nobody but PCs are stupid enough to wield a jousting lance.Īlso, which way you're tilting your camera alters the tilt of the lance. Yes, a blunt weapon designed not to hurt people is the absolute best weapon to bring to a war because it's the longest lance I've found.
I find that the best lance is, funnily enough, the Jousting Lance. Damage is secondary, and you really don't care about speed. While you can do a CLC with a quarterstaff, you will have trouble with it because a couched staff doesn't extend past the front of the horse. The damage is usually quite spectacular.Ĭlick to expand.The most important stat when considering a polearm for couched lance charges is it's length- because the hitbox on the couched lance is at the tip of the lance. Simply take out your lance and gallop on your horse, the lance should lower. A decent horse and a lance are one of the most devastating combinations that can be brought to bear in Mount and Blade. Try and enter into a tournament that fits your skill-set. The Nords have infantry and axes, the Khergits have horses, bows and javelins. Each kingdom has a different style of tournament. The tournaments are excellent money-makers, but only if you bet on yourself. The melees that you can join at any time only give good payout when you are the last man standing, but they are also good combat practice.
The arenas are also a good place to make money. They are crap fighters, but they should advance quickly if you win a couple battles with them. Mercenaries can wait, since you should be able to recruit some peasants at passing villages. Merchanting will get you money, I suppose, but it isn't very exciting. However, there are some general things to keep in mind. First of all, are you playing with any mods? This can vastly change play experience and advice has to be tailored to fit.
