First off, great job on the new version!  I've skipped a couple of iterations, so the difference is very apparent. I've noticed a few strange things with the village scenes. First of all, Ruvar (along the coast between Wercheg and Rivacheg) has levitating buildings.  They're all hovering off...

I don't know whether anyone cares about this or not, but I've always thought honor and reputation systems could be improved with the simple addition of a second value. What I mean is, the value for honor and the value for dishonor ought to be two separate numbers.  That way a character's true...

A long time ago I promise some screen shots of my custom knights.  I'm still tweaking these, but here they are: My character, Romulus Atrasolaris: Victory after storming a castle: Victory in the field: A column of knights: For the armor I re-colored the Rus Scale Armor texture.  The...

I think this would make a great addition to Silverstag. http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,299774.0.html

I just started playing the new version after a long hiatus, and it's really impressive!  Lots of quality work done from the last version. A few quick observations: I've had a little trouble with the companion reading material set up, possibly because I have all the companions at once.  Now and...

Suppose you find a book as treasure.  It's a book of Calradian history dealing with a specific city or region that no longer exists.  When you finish reading the book, a new location appears in some far corner of the map.  The location is a ruined city or town, or an old abandoned temple or...

I'm looking for opinions on which units are at once usable, cheap, and easy to obtain. I'm fond of the tier-3 mercenaries: Mercenary Swordsmen (easy to liberate, capture, and hire), Mercenary Halberdiers (upgraded from Farmers), and especially Mercenary Burghers (upgraded from Townsmen). ...

Does anyone else do this?  I didn't even know it was possible until I stumbled on it trying to bring a message to an imprisoned lord.  It can be very easy or very hard depending on the weapons of the guarding troops and the layout of the castle, but if you fail you can try again (which maybe...

Is there any reason beyond role-playing and family connections to prefer one spouse over another?  Is there any reason an Adventurous spouse is better than a Conventional spouse? BTW, my character married the Swadian lass Sonadel.  She was Adventurous and her father and brother were both...

a.k.a. UW's Simple Guide to Recruiting Confederate Renegades Patriots Having trouble rallying greycoats to your banner?  Here's how to make it happen: Confederates are notoriously pacifistic.  Besides settlers from the USA, there is only one type of enemy group they will attack: scalphunters...

I hate escorting caravans.  Creeping along the map at a snail's pace with no choice but to grind through every hostile band between point A and point B; every time, I think, "Why am I doing this?  This isn't fun." Here's a simple idea that would make caravan escorting much less annoying...

How do you choose your horses? Personally I go for Heavy Mustangs because they have the best combination of charge, hit points, and armor.  I also pick one color (usually buckskin or silver dapple) and try to equip all my NPCs with it, because it makes them easier to identify on the battle...

In the long term, is there any possibility of adding the Sioux nation to 1866?  This is the one native faction that really seems to be missing.  Here are a few reasons I believe they should be included. 1) Many, many famous representatives, including Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull. 2)...

Simple question.  When you recruit a new lord, how do you decide which fiefs to give him?  Also, how many lords do you recruit? Lately I've been starting each lord off with one village, then possibly giving him more depending on whether or not I like him.  I wonder whether anyone else has come...

Ambush is pretty simple. It reduces the range at which other parties can see your party on the world map.  So you can sneak up on them.  Or through them if you're a smuggler.  :)

As the title says.  Which claimant has the most just claim to the throne? So far I'm thinking it's Lethwin.  Ragnar's only excuse for seizing power is that he's the biggest brute. Kastor of Veluca seems to have the worst case.  Graveth's version of events makes more sense to me than Kastor's...

I apologize in advance for the fact that this may end up being a hypothetical question or a suggestion, because I can't guarantee I'll have the time to actually try to do it myself, but I haven't seen anything like this mentioned before. When you finish reading a book, it triggers a stat...

Has anyone ever tried playing as a bandit lord, only recruiting criminals into your party?  What I mean is, you could use Sea Raiders for infantry, Mountain Bandits for cavalry, Forest Bandits for archers, and Looters for...watering the horses or something.  And of course you could add the...
