Warsword Conquest

Remember to load the game with wse

MAIN ISSUES:

  1. Q: Is running the mod through the WSE Launcher mandatory?

    A: Yes, else most of the mod won't work.

    NOTE: If you aren't seeing any messages or battle logs, this is a sign you have not launched the mod through WSE.

  2. Q: Where is WSE located?

    A: After initially unzipping the module look for WSELoader.exe. You will find it in the WSE folder within the Warsword module folder.

    NOTE: Many problems with the mod are solved by moving the entire contents of this WSE folder to the main Mount & Blade Warband folder (where mb_warband.exe is located), then running it from there every time.

  3. Q: "Error, could not find mb_warband.exe..."

    A: In your root mount and blade warband folder rename mb_warband.exe to something else. Then copy the mb_warband.exe from Warsword's "1.174 original exe" folder into your root warband folder. Run this once, then close it. Then follow questions 1) and 2) above.

  4. Q: Does the Dungeons Edition of the mod contain Freelancer?"

    A: Yes, Dungeons Edition (plus the ModDB Patch) is the latest version and contains all contents.

  5. Q: I downloaded the Dungeons Edition but it says Freelancer edition on the main menu, what's the deal?"

    A: The message is outdated, if you downloaded Dungeons Edition then you're good.

STABILITY:

  1. Q: Why are all the lord characters bald?

    A: This is an irreversible bug that happens sometimes when a new game is started. No known solution, start another new game and hope for the best.

  2. Q:I'm getting a lot of crashes, how do I stop this?

    A: In the launcher enable 'load textures on demand', also try 'force single threading'. Alternatively try un-ticking sound variation and disabling music.

  3. Q: How do I increase the battle size above 150?

    A: Search for a program called Warband Battle Size Changer.

    NOTE: The software isn't included with the mod, furthermore it will increase the chance of crashing and slowdown in battles/sieges.

GRAPHICS

  1. Q: My cursor is stuttering a lot, how do I solve this?

    A: Try limiting your fps in the launcher (NOTE: that this can increase game startup time). Also try rolling back your Nvidia drivers.

  2. Q: I get solid gray/green sky or faces/eyes on the sky, what do I do?

    A: Turn off HDR.

MAGIC

  1. Q: How does magic work?

    A: Check the Warsword Conquest Wiki or the Site. Links provided above.

  2. Q: Can you learn more than one lore/school of magic?

    A: No, it is both impossible mechanical-wise and lore-wise.

  3. Q: Is there a way to recruit casters?

    A: No, you can only recruit mercenary casters - casters can else only be obtained through prisoners.

  4. Q: Can companions learn magic?

    A: No, they currently can't.

  5. Q: Can you locate certain companions or traders?

    A: Companions cannot be located. Magical vendors instead can be located through the Burspa Menu.

  6. Q: What do Cult Masters and Humanitarians do?

    A: They provide units from the chosen kingdom culture in exchange for villagers from your party. Cult Masters are for evil factions, Humanitarians for good factions.

  7. Q: Why can't I trade villagers for units to Cult Masters/Humanitarians?

    A: Because villagers need to be part of the party, not prisoners.

  8. Q: Do dungeons reset?

    A: Yes, they reset every 3-10 days.
