I have been playing this mod for about as long as i have had Warband, and by far, it has been my favorite. I loved the time period, the lore, the british isles
, quite a bit about the mod. I usually troll the forum, but the recent patch has made me feel it was time to finally register and make a post.
But with the 1.31 patch, i feel like finally moving on. The fun of the mod has been sucked out in the name of "realism". I like playing as a heavy armored warlord style character and maybe this mod isnt for me now.
I find it extremely difficult to make money and end up having to spend hours just developing a cash stream before i can actually get to the good stuff (you know, the crushing my enemies, driving them before me and hearing the lamentations of the women).
I was annoyed when weapon breaks were added, and could have tolerated the heavy handed approach to reducing the effectiveness of heavy armor but the new combat system i find to be extremely frustrating. Tournaments feel like just dice rolling, even bandits pose serious threats, and large pitched battles are over in mere moments once combat starts.
And swords feel exceptionally weak now compared to spears or axes... and that just doesnt feel right when a top of the line sword costs 10 times as much as the best axe or spear.
I am a very sad panda that my favorite mod for warband is now one that i dont really find fun anymore
