I most certainly liked the mod. I loved the way the factions, troops and items were set up. This is almost a godsend, however, it could use some cool features such as battering rams and Kingdom Management. But any way, I find the mod to be very unique ... One of the few, rare mods which I play without cheats.

What I didn't like, though, and kinda broke the "immersion", was the lack of new strings (aka new dialogs, etc). When I met William Wallace, I thought "Man, I'm expecting a awesome dialog of freedom and liberty." Instead, he told me something of the Calradia and that really set me off. Thankfully, he's a awesome and good fighter, so I couldn't refuse to hire him. :P

Also, nice job on optimizing the game... For example, when I played the Revenge of the Berserk mod, I got around 10-20 FPS mostly, I crashed often, and in some special missions/quests, I got 5 FPS! That is REALLY low. But this, it's really optimized. I mean, like really. It's got a HUGE amount of new textures, some new sounds and music (which are great), and yet it still runs great, around 30-50 FPS in battle.

So, all I've got to say: Keep up the awesome work...

Good to hear, if kt0 decides to do the troops thing I pmed you about, there will be these new features and your cool battering ram thing  :twisted:.

Also new dialogs, nearly all armors have lod support in my mod, except weapons, for next release the weapons will have bettter lod support.

Thanksfor being the first to post here, now I want more people to post here!  :mrgreen:

Needs. More. PLATE MAIL!


The Plate Mail here is GODLIKE. BUT. NEEDS. MOAR.
Only because the bastards ignored my orders to fling shit at the enemy.

What. A. STUPID SUGGESTION!


The Plate Mail would be overpowered and OVERNUMBERED. BUT. LOOKS. GOOD.

I only played about 5 to 10 days so far and there are some things I find annoying, especially in comparison to other mods:
-very few looters, you need them to "grind" yourself and level your troops
-no next tier troops like deserters and then sea raiders in native, maybe there are, but I never get them because I am way too slow, so stuck to hunting looters over half the map because the speed difference is only 0.2 or something, this is very different in other mods. This is a matter of taste off course, but other mods are better balanced in this regard
-Horses are very very weak !

-Graphic is great, I use directx 7
-Atmosphere is great
-Overall this mod has some huge potential

Enough of this bullshit. Plate armor (even platemail) isn't supposed to be abundant because:
It's very expensive to have and maintain one.
It would make the game ridicoulously difficult for lower levels.
Battles would last much much longer because people would take much much less damage.
You asked for it in a stupid way.

Also, I suggest you add different sized bandit parties and fix william wallace's introduction text.  :wink:

@Booka

Horses are this weak because it more relistic, you get more challange, in Native my horse nearly never fell and was very unchallenging, and horses are weaker because the knights shall have a weekness.

The strongest horse is ofcourse the plated charger.

I can make the bandit parties bigger.

About William Wallace, you might have recognized that he is a lord of the scots to, and a hero recruitable, do you want him in your party or do you want him to be a lord of Scotland?

What he means is that William Wallace as a hero still says he is Lezalit. Saying things like "I hail from Georia".

Ambalon take a chill pill dude. You could have said that in a much more mature way than ranting about my faults. Rage moar.

Yeah, I know what he meant, but if you open the mod, you will se under scottish lords there is a William Wallace there to.

Do you guys want him to stay as a lord and remove the hero William Wallace, or the other way around.

Yeah, I also think William Wallace is not a kind of guy that hangs around in bars waiting for someone to pick him up (also Mel Gibson probaly is).

On the Topic of horses, I messed with your Item files and made Bows and Crossbows a little stronger, only about 5 points, unarmored horses are killed failry quick when archers are involved. You´re right, makes it alot more realistic and dangerous to ride around the enemy archers in the rear with a fast horse.
