I have a nice wife, a nice fief too, a castle on a hill with a magnificent view. I have fertile lands, and villages that thrive, hundreds of troops who somehow stay alive. My coffers are heavy, my warband is fed, my enemies see my banner and occasionally drop dead. I have horses and armor, silver and grain, a hall full of nobles complaining again. By every measure, I’ve won at this game. I’ve conquered, grown wealthy, and built up my name. Yet I stand on my battlements when the campaigning is done, watching the mountains fade with the sun. My wife is beside me. My kingdom is strong. My vaults overflow. But something feels wrong. I’ve everything a lord could possibly acquire… Maybe what’s missing another fief to desire. submitted by /u/t-o-m-u-s-a [link] [comments]
TL;DR - What mod options should I enable/disable, what difficulties should I start with, etc? I like a hard game that feels satisfying when it all goes right, and I can live with punishing defeats or even being forced to restart 20hrs in. (I'm an XCOM masochist)
I've got a few hundred hours between Floris and Pendor, and with a month to kill doing nothing but drinking and gaming I decided it'd be a great time to pick up Warband again. Fell in love with GoT a few months ago while I binged it in a timeframe I'm not too proud of, and found the AWOIAF mod - it's like it was meant to be.
But holy fucking hell is this shit brutally difficult - and I love it.
I'm trying to roleplay as a Wildling (Outlaw - Nomad - Poacher - Forced to leave home - Old Gods), and it is making this start really rough. That's fine, but I keep seeing people online saying to tweak the mod options and I have no clue where to start in order to craft a fun, challenging gameworld.
-
Are Normal Damages absurdly punishing?
-
Combat and Campaign AI's?5
-
What about stamina and the rest? I loved the Skyrim mods that introduced hard mechanics - Frostfall, W&C, etc. Are these in the same vein or way more difficult?
Thanks for any input, and would love any extra tips/advice for getting situated in the early game. Not how to get my first land or anything, but more of real early game tips to get a little raiding party together, good places to start establishing myself, etc.
