permanent death should be optional
In this particular mod it might just work.
But it would also mean that you would never choose to invest in archery or throwing.
And that's sad, since especially throwing weapons fits in really well with the Nordic theme (throwing axes e.g.).
Perhaps the bows and throwing weapons could be made at least 1/2 - 1/3 stronger, to balance things a little.
That way throwing weapons would appear very powerful - as they truly were -
and the melee fighting could still begin quickly.
What do you think?

Maybe you should make Scots wear kilts. Atleast what I know regular scottish people and soldiers wore kilts home, work and battle. And sheep wool shirt and/or hardened leather.

Latest version of this mod is awesome, great capture of the feeling of the era. I think you've done an especially good job balancing M&B's cavalry-orientated model with the infantry-based nature of the era.
Any hints on future plans? Are you still planning to add the Norwegians and Irish?

The first goal was to recreate the whole British isles.But after some time I got eaten by the Britain conflict,and I still have plans for that.
So Ireland have to wait(don't know how much).
Future features are posts around this subforum.(actually I don't remember all).

Making the archery more powerful will make it worse. Right now, I feel like I'm playing Mount & Range. Everyone and their mom has something to throw or shoot. It's a bit hard attacking axers on foot when you have 3+ archers shooting at you always.
I don't want to sound like I'm complaining. I'm enjoying the layout of this mod a lot! This is indeed fun.

I don't believe the factions are considered countries but more like cultures.jvvpc said:You should change the factions names to the country names instead, eg. "Danes" so change it to "Denmark" It's a bid weird when it says Jarl ... of Danes (Forgot the names
Jarl ... of Danes is representing the Danes on the British islands.
Besides, historically the national states were not conceived at that point.
And so people considered themselves Brittons or Danes and not British or Danish.

That's right.
Denmark wouldn't be correct simply because Ivar and the Danelaw in general,are not part of Denmark.Same for the Brittons and the Scots,they don't represent a kingdom but a culture,a population.
Jarl is just the best translation for lord,same as for Alderman about the saxons.I'll add a correct title also for the Brittons and Scots in future.

Just to add: If you add Welsh and Irish, they should wear kilts too. And Scots usually painted their faces blue for some reasonDon Doggy said:

I don't think the welsh wore kilts at that time (they had been Romanized a fair bit) and I'm not even sure if Irish and picts wore kilts for war. Is this mod going to have picts in it or just scots?

Nor Scots,nor Welsh nor Irish wear kilts at that time.Scots(Scottish) wil begin to use them only in late 1500.Welsh and Irish,not at all I think.
Btw,welsh are already in game,just with their period name(Brittons).

Picts and Scots were under the same king(Costantine I king of Picts and Scots),what I might do is make two different troop trees for the Scots,or add a raiding bandit party of Picts that won't attack the Scots.

At this time there was'nt one overall king of scotland. There were some pict kingdoms still. And the scots did wear kilts but it was'nt actualy a national symbol yet (as quite a lot of people used to wear kilts and tartan.) By the way if you make picts then you may like to know that they used pikemen and I think they used early crossbowmen (I know they did around the time the romans left.)

That's a good idea IMO. I'd also point out that although they were independent of them politically, the "Scots" were still culturally and linguistically highly similar to the Irish (and the names are used interchangeably by British and Saxon writers of the time, like Bede) so actually their militaries (and thus troop trees) would be very similar or identical. It is only after the Vikings occupy the Hebrides and other islands between them that the two cultures begin to drift apart.
