My army of 12 or so well-trained soldiers was decimated by a gang of 9 black knights. I went to the nearest town, hired 22 peasants, went back and kicked their butts. It's amazing what a group of yocals with cleavers can do to a trained warrior when they manage to surround his horse. You just have to get them to hold their position until the last possible moment, then get 1 or 2 horsemen at a time to follow you and lead them right through the middle of your hoarde and order "charge." I honestly didn't think my small-town-transplanted-onto-a-battlefield had any real hope. Just goes to show you there is strength in numbers.
 
I have a party with 17 black knights in it and one black knight captain (mag7 mod) My party is invinvible
 
My party limt is 45. I have about 30 or so Veagirs Kights and then a few horsemen, vetrens,and footmen.I can take on the swadian war partys that have over a 100 or any other party.
 
Numbers is the key in M&B. I've seen on numerous occasions a black knight being attacked by 6 peasant women. It's funny because hey do next to no damage to him but he's stunlocked, so he is just stuck there getting very slowly killed.

Bad way to die.
 
Soon the forums will be flooded with nerf posts about stunlock. Peasant women are surely overpowered!
 
Peasants vs Knights has always been interesting to me; it's very dramatic to have the peasants attempt to do their best - which usually means blocking the Knights while I leisurely shoot them with my crossbow. Only trouble is that any kills they make are experience points I could've had.
 
I don't know that they're overpowered. Different units are good (and bad) at different things. A mounted knight really is no match for 5 peasants with farming implements if they surround his horse. You can't really guard your back or flanks at all when mounted and you can't really turn effectively to strike behind you. Cavalry units that get caught in the middle of a group of infantry units die. They're just not equipped to manage that situation (even if the infantry units are not well trained).

It's a matter of having the right tool for the job. You can have the best, most expensive, full-featured table saw in the world, but it still wouldn't drive a nail as well as a 5-dollar hammer. It doesn't mean the hammer is better than the table saw. It just means it's a better hammer.
 
I've had it with this game. I was sitting near Zendar, eating and drinking after killing a bunch of River Pirates, when out of nowhere, a Swadian Peasant Woman hit me from behind... and I couldn't do a thing, 5 mroe came out of nowhere and kept hitting me, I couldn't get one hit off! This game is so unbalanced..

NERF PEASANT WOMEN!

and shamans!

blue plz

One time a black knight charged into a crowd of peasant women. He killed a couple, but then they killed his horse and he fell off. I lost sight of him, all you could see was a crowd of peasant women ganging around some poor bastard, sickles swinging until he died.

This was much cooler looking than I can describe, I hope a replay feature makes it into the game someday.

A lot of people suggest www.fraps.com if you want to record video. You can also take screenshots with the print screen button which you would then paste in paint (or something similar). Doing a quick search revealed that armagan likes the idea of adding a replay feature but, it would take much work so don't expect it any time soon.

Shamans are too overpowered oooommmggg im gonna go hang myself! KTHXBAI!!!

(joking)
 
Peasant women with scythes are the real Berserkers in this game, watching them run faster than a deer and whipping that scythe around like a maniac is very funny to me. I really do like to get some sword sisters and peasant women in my gang.
 
I think the time is ripe for a return to Shamanism, what I mean is the cult of Wotan, or Odin. No more excuses for weaklings or sissies. Death to the weak! I don't really believe that.
 
behold my unbeatable party


EDIT: I should mention that the Sir's and lady and the dark knight captains are from the mag7 mod
