Mount & Blade is pretty sweet. I finally branched out from just companions into recruiting some Khanate tribesmen and training them up to a cavalry. Now Sayid is taking time out of trading to beat the crap out of bandits and sell them into slavery! --Msallen
- Haha, nice. I thought you'd like it - it's just like Pirates or EVNova! You should do a search for Native Expansion - it's a user mod that increases by a shit ton the number of units, makes it possible to be a rogue king, and has a bunch of other cool tweeks. (Braced Spearmen, etc.) -gm
- It does need some better story arcs, but its pretty sweet. I definitely need to work on my army skills. I can't seem to pull off the 'help peasants defend their village' quest even with my 20 men. I think I need to get better issuing orders, which was also pretty critical in EV.
- Since I spoiled the game, my current plan is to support the Khanate usurper and lead a rebellion, then turn on him and take over the khanate as an unaligned warlord. That's what Sayid would have done. --Msallen
- The problem is that without the Native Expansion, the cost of defending your empire is faaaar more than you can make from your holdings, to say nothing of having to visit every village or castle seperately to collect your tithes. I'm actually awful at giving orders, just like in EV. Instead, I max out all my followers Training skill and just build up the biggest, most elite units possible. 20 men is a pretty paltry sum, actually, that might be part of your problem as well.

- Yeah, I just got my first non-companion units on sunday, and I only got to play with them for two hours. Still very new to them.
- I was pretty good with orders in Nova... at my peak boredom, I took over every planet in the pirate, human, and auroran planet. At that point, though, I couldn't even take over a single polaris planet because their ships were too good. Or maybe I could take over the small ones. I can't remember.
