Pretty impossible quest. It's about saving a village from thieves. And when I spawn, it looks like some kind of execution.
Alone I stand in front of 4-5 thieves standing in a line and firing a volley, it's a bit of instant K.O.
I would prefer having like 5 of my men at my side when entering the area, like when you beat up angry mob.
Also, this mod/expansion/game needs battle continuation after you die, so annoying to get killed while the enemy has 1-5 units left and you have to retreat without getting the hard earned renown, or fail saving the villagers from bandit,
and the village ends up looted.
And Reiters... Are a bit OP, I try to be modern and have 3/5 marksmen, 1/5 pikes and 1/5 Cavalry. aprox 70 men.
Yet, facing 10-25 reiters or winged hussars is slaughter for my side, with barely any enemy casualties.
Maybe I should try some lancers..
I have also have stopped receiving quests from the villages after I failed those 2 quests, the options
with village elders dissappear.
And would cause great immersion if the sounds were a bit improved, horses that are louder than guns is not... fun?
I found great entertainment with WFaS, I can only hope for more disciplined formations (one enemy unit close to the formation
breaks the whole formation and makes the men stopping to focus on their muskets) and the AI to be a bit smarter and
use formations too, instead going full-charge-horde-style with cavalry charging into the unprepared lines at the beginning
of the battle.
I'll check into TweakMB I guess and the sound mod.
Edit: Oh, I'll add that I'm playing 1.143 too.
