In conclusion, the civillian clothes DEFINITELY need more variety, better models and better textures.
-
When attacking a caravan, there should be a visible caravan on the map. a few carriages, donkeys, horses, whatever, just as long as it is there. If possible, make the AI stick to the caravan, not charge at you. you absolutely MUST add this. It makes plundering caravans so much more enjoyable.
- Bring back the Peasants such as those in my signature. I love how you've done the recruits, they are extremely detailed and realistic, but even in that period, peasants were largely part of any army. Just like before, peasants were expected to bring their own equipment. Make it so that they use clubs and pitchforks, and of course, can be upgraded to recruits just like those we have right now.(though perhaps recruits shouldn't be given a sword, otherwise they are perfect) In short, add recruits, but keep the peasants.
- Integrate Freelancer. I know you said this isn't possible yet, and that's fine, but freelancer was MADE for Medieval Western Europe. Think about it, being an archer, or a firing your crossbow and hiding behind a pavise, fighting the frogs as a common soldier, and all that in some lord's army.
- Ability to continue viewing the battle after you have been killed. I think this should be very easy to add. Any great mod must have it.
- Better arrows mod. Not sure what's it exact name, but it makes the arrows look like arrows during the flight, instead of blurry black blobs, certainly sound like a small thing, but trust me, after you try it, you will refuse to go back.
Also an absolute must for any larger mod. Very small mod, even I could add it manually, I can't find the files for download anywhere though. I'll have to ask around.
-
Appropriate Texts That's being worked on, by me!
Not to mention It's already done for 2.2
That's it for the must haves, now onto the stuff I'd really like to see, but it's not mandatory as the "must haves".
-
Certain Swords lacks scabbards, and some don't even appear on the player at all. The game could use a bit more of the regular, not too decorated longswords.
The only one that is there does not appear on the player when worn(meaning, neither the scabbard nor the sword show up.) The name of the sword is just " Sword " Some of the swords have inappropriate scabbards, meaning the scabbard is too thin, and longsword is of regular size.
This should be fixed as the next patch will be fully 1.143 compatible, right?
Still, add a regular longsword or two.
- The game could also use some chainmail, on mercenaries at least, and bring back some of the regular crossbows such as these: (yes, they're from the fifteenth century
)
- " More Metal Sounds " mod would fit perfectly for any mod. I consider it a must have. It's an open source and can be installed separately on any mod, so it shouldn't be a problem to add. I have it on my Knights the Last Battle v. 2.2.
-
Cannons and Music - Being added in 2.3, right?
Now on to the annoyances, bugs that need fixing and optional stuff:
- "Rober of Outlaws was defeated in battle but managed to escape"
That always keeps popping up. I don't even think the game shows the names of defeated lords whatsoever.
- Instead of the name "France footman" and "Town London" it should be French Footman, and simply - London.
I'll take care of this.
- I don't know if it's possible, but crossbowsmen and pikemen should be able to run like before, though I'm not saying you should remove the new animations, they look badass. We should simply be able to order them to walk or run(should have been in Warband in the first place.
) This is not necessary, but would be most welcome.
- This particular village picture looks ugly, and should be replaced by something else:
- Main loading screen picture looks stunning, but it would be great if the quality was a little better. Also, the "Knights the last battle" in a green font looks a bit out of place.
- Main Menu picture could definitely use something of higher quality, as well as the esc menu picture.
- - remove the starting find your brother quest
- I have two suggestions for troops. England should have Billmen, and Crossbowmen should be upgraded to Arbalests. Also add Freelance Knights(as bandits) unless Freelance Barons are the said knights. Then you're good.
And that, ladies and mentlegen, is it.
