There are walled cities in the mod, though. Ratisbon is the most significant example. The ancient walls were scaled with ladders by the French in 1809. Smolensk has walls, too, and there are probably a few others.

Given then that most won't, how are we to defend them?

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

With sword, bayonet and firelock.

Besides, I want sieges to be easier and centres to change hands more often.

How will the AI perform, and will the geopolitics of the module's map become as messed up as demonstrated in the above?

I've wondered the same. I'm not exactly looking forward to seeing a Prussian Toulouse, a Danish Paris or a Polish Madrid. Can't say I'm not preparing for it

Totsk has some amazing starforts, but I'm not sure if the pathfinding works too well on them.

Before you take it the wrong way a I think that you have a really good idea in the fact that you are making a Napoleonic single-player mod for Mount and Blade Warband. What I am posting this for is the fact that you have so add or subtract a few factions from your factions list, in your factions list you have listed down the Duchy of Warsaw which during the Napoleonic wars was part of the Kingdom of Prussia, the Confederation of the Rhine or the Rhenish Confederacy was a grouping of South German kingdoms all joined in an alliance with France, which means that if you want an accurate retelling you will need to possibly split up these kingdoms and make them all just in the game but with an alliance with France that could possibly be done with the Diplomacy mod, just a suggestion and trust me I know this subject really well as I studied one of my ancestors who fought with the Austrians as a Major General so do not think about claiming I know nothing.

I stopped reading there.

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

The Duchy of Warsaw existed as an independent nation from its founding by Napoleon in 1807 to its dissolution in 1815 by the Congress of Vienna.

The Confederation of the Rhine has to be one faction for gameplay reasons. A number of small states can't organise and are thus useless, militarily speaking.

The Duchy of Warsaw had been freed from Prussia and Austria as early as 1807. The Confederation of the Rhine also included Westphalia, and I don't recall that being in southern Germany.

GOD-DAMNED PEOPLE, CAN'T YOU JUST GIVE ME THIS ONE CORRECTION! Uuuuuugggghhhhhh 

Speaking of sieges, I'm so gonna NOT get involved in those. Sieges ain't the business of hussar officers. Well, except for talking them into surrender, of course.

When you will finish this?

I still want to know how he's still alive.

 

[RoboSenshi]

Speaking of sieges how are "native castles" going to be handled? If possible you could have a system where instead of castle's you had small towns. So on the map there would be towns (like native), villages (like native) and small towns (instead of castles).

Well since most of the cities aren't going to be walled, cavalry could actually do quite well as long as they can keep their horses in the mod unlike native.

 

[Evelyn]

I dunno, I think it'd be pretty cool to charge a bunch of sword-wielding people in funny outfits on foot at a big wall of musketeers.

 

[Xanderman]

I was just wondering how large, cities are going to be?

I'm worried about soldiers in the water like in TOTSK, it's because of them I can never win sieges.

I'm very excited to see your go on the Danish uniforms. 

 

[Adorno]

Danish troops? So we can be mocked 
(I'm sure it's been discussed but Danish troops seem superfluous as they played no part at this point).
