Hi there!
I've completed the main story, so it's time to give some feedback, as i promised in ModDB.
The Best:
- Music used in this mod is awesome! Love those viking songs
Bugs:
- Some armor weights (p.e. "aphillius heavy mail" only has 3.0 of weight)
- Some spelling mistakes (p.e. book "On the world and
it's miracles")...also found some errors in the dialogues of the main story (p.e. "You shall meet us
___the lord's hall of Nordenfjord"...."It is there you will
recieve")
Suggestions:
- Add bridges on the map
- Add more skins for faces and hair
- Add battle counter, inside (like POP does) and offside battles (like Floris)
- Add options in menus to change some stuff of the mod, p.e. reinforcements waves, permanent mini-map, weather, etc
- Add shield bash (and then add options in menus so that players can costumise the key to do it...like "Floris" does...) and perhaps sprinting too
- Add more bandits variaty and gangs/guilds, like Perisno has
- Tournaments are better this way than native thanks to the beatiful arenas you added but i found them really easy to win...the AI is dumb and i don't get fun at all playing them...mods that i liked most in tournaments were the ones like "Floris" (so addicted...it's not enough to survive...if u wanna get money you have to kill lots of them...the AI e much better too...and you actually can choose which weapon to carry from a pre-set options). Would like to have a special reward when winning the tournament too.
- Dunno if it's possible to convert or not...but please take a look at the kingdom management system used in "Sword of Damocles" (M&B1.011)...
It is the best i've ever seen...in there, once u become king, u can open a kind o window that lets u see all your own buildings, and u can initiate constructions and choose how many man per day u want to recruit in each center, even lets u cap how many u want to garrison in each building and choose how many of melee or ranged u want...it's really amazing.

In another window called "strategic map" u can give orders to each of your lords (like follow me/go to this location/patrol around/stay here), much helpfull.
In another window u can choose up to 10 laws in 4 categories: nobility, clergy, townsman, villagers.

- The best story-driven mod i've played so far was "Revenge of the Berserk" for M&B1.011. Has a lot of custom battles but is completed outdated now. It was one of the first mods to add different sizes of skeletons, so that you could fight really big demons. This may be of use in your mod also.
Well these are some of the things that come up to my mind right now...
Hope the best for this mod! Cheers
