Do any of you play with them to make the game more of a challenge or more immersive, and if so, what are they?
That is, special personal rules for your campaign, such as no character importing or no companion importing, or avoiding known glitches for personal gain, etcetera.
This thread might give others or yourself a few good-ideas they may have not thought of, so list away.

This thread might give others or yourself a few good-ideas they may have not thought of, so list away.
Mine:
1.) Only using companions who have special skills that are not met by my character or another companion.
2.) Only using the companions I actually use to go on right to rule missions, furthered by only the ones my character would actually support having been said in his name.
3.) Only raising the training skill on either my character and if not there, on a single companion only.
4.) Playing with all realism settings turned on (even walk-backwards and siege realism... ouch).
5.) Organizing my troop order so that weaker units take precedent, letting the poor spill blood before the nobles (more of a medieval custom, but I assume something similar had to be around in this period too).
6.) Using civilian clothes when not on a warpath, carrying only a side-arm for defense (it make ambushes far more interesting).
7.) Only recruiting from villages and towns I own, and mercenaries prior to that.

That's a good guideline.
