I'm a long-time player of vanilla Mount and Blade and I recently came back to the game. I've been playing the Floris Mod Pack with Polished Landscapes and it's gorgeous. I have been playing on that for the last few weeks and the added game play in it is a nice bonus as well.
Just some random observations I've made since I've been back:
1. I made my first pure melee character and boy do they level up fast. I already have strength maxed and am up to level 18 charisma. Had I attempted to level up charisma first it would have taken me three times as long to level up this far.
2. When fighting the khergits, it's helpful to loot and burn their villages and wait for their lords to come help. It forces them all to dismount so they can easily be crushed by a wall of huscarls or could be cut down like a knife through butter with a line of marksmen.
3. Knudarr castle is a ***** to take because even with Floris is only has one ladder and there's ample space for archers to set up inside the court and on the walls and make pincushions of the attackers. I found it helpful to bring a group of archers, have a line of huscarls stand in front of them and form a shield wall while the archers picked off the enemy from a distance. This castle only needs ladders so I was able to do it three times and then once I got the enemy force down to around 50 it was much easier. Previously, I had lost an entire 100+ man army of troops tier 3-5.
I'm having a lot of fun with 3 save files going at the same time right now. Just wanted to say hi, I'll be hanging around the forums for a little while.
