Clearly a Hand job would be better.

You didn't. Er... oh well.

At first I thought you'd said he yelled "NO SPRINGS!" at you.

Killzor, I think your problem is carrying all your money in florins. Convert them into groschen for maximum portability. 

It's a giant gleaming bronze codpiece to protect him from possible castration by arrow, what the hell does it look like?

Only the computer sucks with IS in siege. Otherwise, they should rock led by a player. The main thing to do is not charge up the ladder like a maniac, but rather tell your men to stand where they are and blast the everliving Filaharn out of your opponents. Working shoulder to shoulder with the IS is a bit of a lolfest in a siege situation, but it gives the enemy lots of meat they have to churn through.

Hardcore infantry fellow, with beard.

Bascinet with yellow and red feathers
Red Breastplate
Caliver for Land battles, elephant for siege assaults, hand cannon for siege defence
Balanced Two Handed War Axe - so nice
Flintlock pistol as a backup.

I think the beard was the only crucial piece of equipment mentioned on this infantryman. The enemy is crushed through the deployment of more grizzled facial hair, not so much the hacking and slashing.

Making characters in Native does screw you out of any firearms proficiency, but spend the least amount of your weapon skill points in character creation then dump them into firearms after you import. The much higher stats you start with using a native character make up for the lack of gun proficiency, so long as you aren't against going a few levels without being able to use a gun worth a darn.

1. I just make characters in Native and import them into EATRC.
2. Yes to accuracy.
3. No.

This makes me think that a hilarious possibility could be had in the custom battle thing. Every once in a while, an RC bearer could be wearing a big miter, and have his hitpoints cranked. "Oh hi, Saldian here, felt like putting the hurt on some heretics."

I must say, I have a distinct preference for the jumping black sheep on the, erm, breen colored background over the clashing-colors banner, if for no other reason than to run in fear from a big black waving sheep whilst playing the mod.

I have a question for the development team. I don't want to sound like I'm rushing the mod - much to the contrary, I want to have the maximum effort put into it so the mod can live up to it's reputation. I'm curious though - what takes the most time: scripting the mod, making new and updated things in python, or something I'm not aware of?

Being a fan of the Ormeli empire, I'd like to see the steppe bandits get some adjustments. They've been doing their same song and dance for like two hundred years, they should at least get some guns. And maybe a second troop type, like Bedouin-wannabe infantry with a mix of calivers and bows. Something dangerous. Mainly, something to slow those buggers down, since roughly a million tribes of steppe bandits, all numbering less than two dozen per clutch, have infested my beloved empire in my current game.

From the journal of Gliorot the Toothcracker, raider captain, entry dated 21st May, 1489 -
Elbow-deep in a crate of goods, searching for the caravan's hidden stash of coin amidst all those worthless cabbages, is where I found myself when the howl from afar began. The men had just finished putting the ones unlucky enough to still be crawling to the blade, and I was worried some kind of mercenary escort had caught wind of us. Oh Gods, what I would give now for that to have been true. It was Old Gearth that noticed them first.
“Oy, captain, thar be peasants comin' this way!” I paused, having found nothing but leafy greens to the bottom of the cursed crate. “...Peasants? Well, you know what to do. Shoot them.” The noises that came from this mob of peasants seemed... unnatural, as if they wanted to come for us. Shouts not of fear, but of rage. I heard the first familiar clicks of flintlock mechanisms as lead shot flew into the oncoming serf folk. But none of them fell. Some were obviously wounded, yes. But they continued to barrel forth toward us, forks raised high. “Draw your weapons men, these ones seem to be lookin' for a good fight!” With that, I hefted my great-axe, and met their furious charge.
It was, singly, the most horrifying battle I've ever experienced. I have cleaved men in twain. I have seen the blood-eagle given to great and terrible warlords. But never have I seen something so gruesome as the fighting peasants of Swadia. My men fought bravely, but despite their resolution nothing would save them from their limbs being dislodged from sockets by two-pointed spears, from their hands being severed by wicked knives the length of a man's forearm, or from their savage leader – I heard the bloodthirsty mob yell to him as “Hershey”.
How I escaped from that hideous bedlam, I may never know. I sensed the futility in fighting the frenzied horde before us, and despite my dedication to my fighting-brothers I could not throw my life away that day. So I buried my axe in the nearest wild-man (who, on all accounts, did not die of his wound so long as I had him in my sight) and took off running. I blindly fled, not willing to stop until I was certain Hershey would not find me. For an entire night I ran, through the woods of Vienna. At the end of my flight I came upon a small village – Ehlerdah is it's name. It is here I will stay for the time being, though there are rumors that the local lord is looking for hired killers to finish me off. It will take more than mercenary thugs to stop Gliorot the Toothcracker, survivor of Hershey's peasants!

Civilian casualties should probably reduce morale and honor until one's honor drops to 0 or below, then it could add morale perhaps. Otherwise, any honorable character who has given his troops an impression of respectability is going to find that his troops are a bit shocked at his willingness to kill noncombatants. Otherwise, the mod could be a more flavorful take on raiding.

You should add in a randomly spawned, gigantic army of Chinese hackers which maraud across the landscape from time to time.
EDIT: I also have a suiting name for some kind of NPC of the Lurker persuasion.

I must say, this is a mod I have been anticipating since I discovered Mount & Blade. I am in love with everything pertaining to the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history, so this mod is a dream come true. It would be much better if I could understand all of it, but the pleasure of beating Yellow Turbans with a Bronze Tuff is more than enough for me 

Nethoras will love this recommendation - look up everything you can about "Necromunda".

We all know the only reason that it asks for your address is so Armagan can find you and punch your face in if you make a really, really awful mod.

I'm relatively sure that as soon as this news sinks into my head, it will a'splode. Congratulations, dev team! As for we players, rejoice! Now I'll stop distracting everyone from brutalizing river pirates.

Hmmm, sounds nice, are you basing it off of anything?

Hexen is an old computer game, sort of like Doom with more fantasy.
I am really looking forward to this mod! The best of luck to you.
