Not quite what I expected

[Tomwa]

Mount&Blade stands to be one of my most loved games, it gives me quite a bit of freedom and is continually made better. However, I must say the expansion has let me down considerably. Please don't get me wrong the multiplayer isn't bad or anything (So please don't un-shelf your flamethrowers quite yet) it's just I was expect living kingdoms ya know? I expected for me and like 10 of of my friends to be able to throw down on a live Calradia not re-battle each other for hours until I realize I'm battling people unconscious on their keyboards (And still losing  ). It's just a bit of a let down was anybody else let down by this? Will it ever come in the future? Why wasn't it implemented?

Puts on flame retardant pants. K bring it on!

I think we may have to wait for a full-fledged sequel for a "live Calradia" sort of game.  For now, the multiplayer is at least fun and different from your average FPS, and the single player campaign feels like a full game again with far less game-breaking bugs.

The single player has always been a blast for me though I'm slightly confused as to how in the world my castles keep getting taken back.

Even just a campaign with two people would be so much more enjoyable.

Even if you're stuck in their party and can't make any of your own decisions.

your castles keep getting taken because you aren't leaving defensive troops there  so its empty ... your enemies could just walk up in there without defensive troops

Lol I'm not that stupid I've been playing M&B for a long time now 

I leave like 60 Vaegir Archers, 10 Nord Huscarls (Bastards are hard to get), and 20 Swadian Man at arms (Preferably knights) I raise these specifically for garrisons I normally add to huscarls as the game goes on but they can be oh so hard to obtain.

Quality of troops does not matter all that much with autocalc better off with quantity over quality.  However if you show up personally then quality > quantity but cant really get to every castle under siege all the time.

So can I throw like 3000 farmers in there or something and be better off than I am now? Lol

You're 100% right   Really I wouldn't care if it was head to head or coop or both - I just want to play a campaign with a friend.

It's what I really expected I wanted to be riding as the Khergits or my own faction against them (I'd own their faces )
