Yeah, i think that if i go into battle against a whole load of dark knights, i shud at least get some sort of black armour and better horses, i have noticed that above saddle horses u can't get any of the others, or ride them in battle when u kill an enemy on them. annoying when everyone else has chargers and hunters.
also, all items in a merchants should not be cracked or bent, the merchants should try to fix them, sa you could get, repaired crossbow or whatever, with slightly lowered stats and price, but they shudn't sell cracked etc stuff
And one other thing, maybe in the next version, it wud be nice to be able to pick up wepons an wotva in battle and replace ure own so if u run out of arrows and old borcha is sitting unconsious with 2 bags of bodkin arrows then u shud be able to 'borrow' them
