I don't think there will be any more updates to this standalone expansion. :/

Cause if it wasn't in warband it wouldn't look as cool. 

Do pistols, carbines and long guns diffrent falloffs?
It seems my riflemen mercenaries start shooting at a greater distance then my dragoon-armed cavalry.
Swedish reiter that use pistols also engage at shorter range.

My caravan was destroyed.
I moved extremely slowly and did not know how to finish the caravan quest.

When I entered the destination with my party I got the pay for the caravan and moved as usual.

That's just stupid. Same terms or simulated terms.

A good game should reward effort.
With caravans it is no effort.

You fight your ass off to get a fief.
But you get just a token money off it.

All other goods than velvet and spice are useless.
At least the non-consumables.

You'd want a system that gives you choices.
I want to fight for my gold.
I want to do a lot of researching and  planning to get a good economy game. (trading/caravans).
I want to get that king and ransom him for a fortune. (not a petty 4k or something). (1/25th of a velvet run?)

As implemented right now the trading system makes all other venues useless in terms of gaining wealth.
Of course you can grind up your moneis. Have enough to last a lifetime. And just do the combat part.
But why have money in the game then?
Why spend money on additions for you castles?
Why have different kind of armour on your mercs?

The game becomes shallow.

Suggestions for quick fixes:
Prices fluctuate more. (maybe time to get a caravan from A->B by first checking prices in B)
Rising and lowering on prices based on trade change much more.
No possibility to sell an item to the goods vendor to force a caravan with that good.

I agree it is like a cheat and thus boring.
Taxes from fiefs become ignorable because they are not even worth pennies compared to what you get from a caravan.

Calling customers idiots for buying their crappy game when they ought to have known better isn't good bussiness. 

Good to know. Thanks.
I owned the fort, yes.
Didn't show up in garrison.

Well. If this acctually is regarded as a warband expansion it pretty much sucks.
Thing is I had high expectations on Taleworlds because of what they have done in the past.
Sad panda.

I got curassiers too.
Dragoons, scots and all sorts of types.
Except the reteirs cannot be recruited despite me being able to hire them in the interface.
They never show up anywhere.

The game is really interesting in a historical and cultural (and geographic) sense.
Since I am not that aware of eastern europe or its history.

(I'm a Swede btw. I know quite a lot about swedish history but not eastern european)

That said. It would probably be appealing to have a game like europa universalis or victoria II but in mount & blade.

I have done that.
I also paid for the swedish reiter.

It is just I never get them.

Well. I am running on hard so I am not superhuman.
Nor are my friendlies.

I defenitely need a bigger army - hence leadership and charisma.

I think I am one of those that see this as the next version of mount and blade and not a mod sideways.
To me it seems I cannot go back to warband cause it is obsoleted by this.

I better go home and rethink my life.

There's a quest from a lady where you can duel someone for her honor.
Not sure how often you get it though.
And you start on horseack with all your gear.
So not really a good duel.

Pray you find him!

Real physics and with simulation of different materials penetrating or blunting arteries, lungs, bones, muscles, tendons, eyes, brain, guts, liver.
And of course layers of armour and their holes.

Now *that* would be something. ^^

So you can have 20 games.
One of them you get major screwup with. (Or you screwup with)
Steam blocks all your games.

If you buy them from different vendors there is no single authority to shut you down.

And with M&B (and many other games) without their drm there is no issue with steam as you get a key and the game is downloadable from taleworlds.
I highly doubt taleworlds would revoke a key because of some crap that happened with another game on steam.

You can never ever buy a game.
You buy a license or some sort of a title to it (or part therof).
Even if you buy the title to the source and everything in it you are not buying the game.
You are buying the title. (which you might argue is the same as buying the game in the first place)
