The in game intro text refers to it as a Test Combattant mod, so is it still true with current patch? Do we get an invasion count down as the previous SOD for M&B ? This is not clear...

Do we have any doc on the mod by the way?

If this is too good, this is exploitive 

As the 'kill sea raiders' party, rince and repeat (sea raiders are much better to kill than any other party, cash wise)

I usually try to get my hands on a balanced sword of war myself.

I tried twice the game (the second attempt, I stopped at day 240) and for my third attempt I think I came to some solutions to my problems. The aim is to blitzkrieg, i.e hoard money and men until you have some decent reserves, and then in one sweep take 3-4 castles in a row from a weakened nation. Also I take care of not antagonizing any one but the weakened factions, so I will buy peace / be at peace with everyone but the crippled nation when I do that ....

I never exploit the game, so no one archer vs 300 garrison men or alternatively reduce battle size down to 2, etc. That would do a disservice to my fun...

even their fleeing behavior is not entirely realistic. Are they all supposed to be a rabble? I mean when an army is moving and is somehow disciplined, their formations won't all break up in tiny packets to flee when an enemy appears superior ... That's the point of having a disciplined army, to not flee on sight but stand ground.

but the follow order must be indeed a real follow, not 'follow until you see someone to stab' ...

and its damn annoying, for most of us anyway... is gameplay not supposed to take precedence over so called realism 

The mod is great and I played it much. I have 2 bugs to report:

1. if you lose all your castles, you still get events about them but with a date in place of the name of a castle. Or you have lost all your village and the game tells you the village 'April 1301' has having a plague ...  kinda weird.

2. I often get script errors on illegal random party creation.

The keys are P J K

P for a line, not much of an interest

J and K for ranks and wedge. Interesting to resist better a cavalry charge or to make a more powerful one.

Aside that, not much of an interest, until we get something as evolute as the tactical planner of the China mod (plus a pause at start of battle so to dispose our troops at our pace, as in TW)

Any chance to get the choice between 'legionaire invasion' and 'undead invasion' just with an option or something like that? I like the invaders to feel pure evil... Legionaires... what's wrong with them, they are the nice guys no? 

thanks, I took my first castle, without chea... I mean reducing the battle sizer ... Still at 300. These 75 Black Army supporters sure helped pincushions the defenders

ok, will do, thanks for your kind help anyway.

This is what I did, changing it to 1. But this was an ongoing game...
