Hi all, I'm starting a new game soon and I wonder what difficulty level I should play on after completing the game once. I find  it a little easy on the battle aspect. So, I've been wondering at what difficulty level do you guys play at. Here's the difficulty settings for my current game:

Module: Diplomacy

Control Block Direction: By mouse movement
Control Attack Direction: By mouse movement
Lance Control: Automatic
Damage to Player: Reduced to 1/4
Damage to Friends: Normal
Combat AI: Poor
Campaign AI: Poor
Combat Speed: Faster
Battle Size: 150

DIFFICULTY RATING: 38%

You could copy/paste the format here if you'd like. :cool:
 
Control Block Direction: by mouse movement
Control Attack Direction: By mouse movement
Lance Control: manual (easy)
Damage to Player: Normal
Damage to Friends: Normal
Combat AI: Good
Campaign AI: Good
Combat Speed: fast
Battle Size: 401

DIFFICULTY RATING: 160%
 
This game made me realize that I seriously suck at action oriented combat so I ended up reducing damage to player and damage to friends to 'easiest' + combat speed to slow. I also reduced campaign ai to 'normal' because facing single lord parties with 80 mamlukes was a bit... off-putting (only I am allowed to pull that off because I am the Gamer and all the puny NPCs should tremble before my might  :evil:).  I use good combat ai though.
 
I just started a new game and these are my new settings!

How do you identify friend or foe with that? :shock:
 
150ish% i think hard as ****. To all the noobs who play on low difficulty. I wear plate armor and its like i'm wearing tunic on low difficulty.
 
Module: Native

Control Block Direction: By mouse movement
Control Attack Direction: By mouse movement
Lance Control: Manual (Hard)
Damage to Player: Normal
Damage to Friends: Normal
Combat AI: Good
Campaign AI: Good
Combat Speed: Normal
Battle Size: 145

DIFFICULTY RATING: 100%

I wanted exactly 100% difficulty (no more, no less); the only way to get there was to reduce the battle size by 5 guys :smile: Otherwise, it's like 103% or something.

And yeah, like Bb, I have everything unchecked except the target reticle. This can get very creepy, when you have no idea how many losses you're suffering; you might think you're doing well but then suddenly find yourself surrounded by 50 bad guys, and all your men dead or unconscious. And yes, you have to look a lot at shields to see whose side they're on.

no additional modules

practically 111 % is as far as anyone can get with "vanilla" Warband, and since I like to crank things up to 11, it fits me perfectly
