I played this mod back in its early days, it was fantastic, I don't know what happened but is a little bit of a dull experience for me now, factions look too similar, lack of items, no balance between weaponry (look bastard sword vs arming swords) and I'm yet to discover more, perhaps I'm being a little harsh on the mod but is my opinion.
Also why the show's armor got removed? Some legal thing? they were pretty cool.
EDIT: Also forgot to mention the armour requirements are way too high closing in to ridiculous, I imported a Commander-like lvl33 build with:
strength = 15
agility = 15
intelligence = 18
charisma = 18
And I couldn't even use a chainmail, so if you start from lvl1 that means you have to go full warrior or level until say lvl34 considering my build just to use entry level heavy armour? Better to go back to 1257AD.
