If they affected the Ai as well, I would have zero complaints about it, but they routinely seige and win battles with 200-300 man armies that you would DIE in a couple hours just trying to set-up up your siege camp with twice that amount. Which actually work perfectly as advertised.but only affect you (like most of the other systems). Thus far, the only Brytenwalda system I just can't tolerate is the 'realistic seige mechanics'. The price of enterprises is jack through the roof, though their output is still about the same as normal M&B.so while they are useful in the long run, it's a MUCH greater investment.įloris is a terrible mod-pack and the less stuff that works like it, the better. THough eventually the price of leather/meat tanks but it gives enough to build and maintain a solid army on. Or steal them if you have a high looting for even more profit. (I recruited 20 Franks to be my personal entourage and they're basically like friggin' terminators as they cut through everyone else's troops).ĭepending on how much of an exploit you consider it, you can just buy and slaughter cows for huge amounts of money. They will utterly destroy even high level armies with ease and are about the most heavy armored/armed units in the game. The worst place in Byrtenwalda to start is the areas that have Dena Pirates or Frankish Raiders. The bandit leaders can potentially drop the best suit of light armor in the game. Every one has the same units, and the Scots raiders and bandits are pretty easy.

They tend to break pretty easily compared to good quality weapons.

You want at least 2-3 atheletics for no/light armor, 4-5 for medium armor, and 6 for heavy armor (medium and heavy armors lower your athletics skill, so you need enough to keep a decent amount stamina/speed).īe wary of wooden or shoddy weapons. Your stamina bar is based on your atheletism (and capped by your % of HP, so as you get wounded your maximum stamina also decreases) and it's very easy to exhaust yourself just getting to the enemy.

If you're going core difficulty, unless you've got a lot of atheltics, avoid foot-combat.
