I'd like to play in a more historical sort of setting. One thing that bugs me though is the sort of "made up" kingdoms. I can imagine it becomes really engaging when you've got a proper army. Really fun, especially getting a small force of guys together and charging a gang of looters. I can kill dozens upon dozens of enemies in a battle this way.Ĭavalry charges are easily absorbed by a sufficiently dense shieldwall.ĭa Boss wrote: I just replayed the demo (I'd play it ages ago when I didn't have a mouse and it was impossible with the touchpad of course.) When gaps open up in the line, I lunge forward and use my 2 hand Axe to smash enemy shields to splinters (with sufficent Strength and Powerstrike you can destroy shields in one blow, and Kill in one blow when it is not blocked). When the battle begins I tend to lurk at the rear of the shieldwall to shelter from missile fire. Where possible I try to anchor my flanks in terrain, by positioning the formations in woods (trees and rocks will bring a charging horse to a screeching halt) or on steep hills (Hills slow cavalry to a crawl). Archers/Crossbowmen typically stand at the rear on a hill or a flank, where they will not be attacked, and Huscarls in front, weaker infantry at the back. I form my infantry into a dense shield wall formation with multiple ranks. My preferred character build is a heavily armoured Nord Tank with heavy armour (the brown leather over mail NOT plate armour, because it looks more like a Viking), TWO Huscarl shields (so I can stand in the shield wall) and the biggest and nastiest feth off bardiche or Axe I can find. Nords are hand down my favourite faction. And a good party CANNOT be without a medic at hand. Mattheld was a mid game pickup and although see was a great warrior she disliked both my medics. My party is built of Jeremus, Ayalyn, Deshavi, Baheshter, Ymira, Firentis, Bunduk, & briefly Mattheld. I'm looking into wiping out most of the other factions and then turning on King Ragnar. The Khergits are the only other real threat to the Nordic Empire, they are certainly the biggest faction after the Nords. The nords basically rule all of Swadia and a fair bit of Khergit and Vaegirs.
I'm lord of Berglen, Narra, Thir, and a couple of castles south of that Swadian city that starts with a D. I can crush pretty much any unit in 2-3 blows. Haven't played With Fire & Sword but I think I'd prefer warband anyways.Ĭurrently running a Nord Vassal who focuses on hard hitting Two-Handed weapons. And by the time you actually have to make major offensives against the Lords in wartime you'll have the troops to counter them. Nord Warriors tear even the largest Kerghit bandit parties to pieces. Just make sure your infantry are well upgraded and you'll win. Regarding Khergits, I really have no trouble with 'em. Don't waste money on the original, just buy that one. Mount and Blade Warband is basically M&B original with added features. The games are quite challenging(sometimes frustratingly so) and have some good variety.

Even deserters have little in the way of useful gear. And no type of enemy has any decent gear drops. It takes forever just to get above 30 soldiers so you can raid villages without the villagers fighting back. Even average gear costs a ton of cash and there is very little you can do early on to make money. With Fire and Sword: I feel that this one is my favorite setting, and I love that you can actually do some formations, but its soooooo hard to get established in this game. Otherwise, their fast horse archers plink you to death over forever. I typically find that I suffer only a couple casualties per battle if I use the above tactic. They just get stuck and infantry can cut them to shreds. They seem to always run circles around their opponent, but when they hit the edge of the map they don't automatically turn around or anything. It seems the only way to actually beat Kergit enemies is to exploit the way their AI interacts with the edge of the battle field. Mount and Blade(original): Kergit armies. Having recently discovered this series of games, I am very impressed.
