I know a lot of players don't stick to a monotone cultural getup when they play, but a lot of players probably do what I do; try to stick to culturally appropriate armours and weapons for the culture I am playing. I take this mentality with me to smithing as well, where I try to smith and use weapons that suit my characters culture appropriately. But I have some exceptions; I often use animal pelts for shoulder armour when playing as a Vlandian or Imperial. If I play as a Sturgian I may use some Khuzait armour. And if I play as a mercenary or Lord for a different cultural faction than my character is from, I may use a mix of regional armours and use my own culture for a weapon. Example; I played a Nord corsair mercenary for the Empire. I used gilded scale Imperial armour with gilded scale shoulderguards, golden pirate gauntlets and boots, and a brass Aserai helmet with a Nord one handed sword with gilded pummel and handguard. Anyone else give themselves similar cultural restrict...
To preface, I love this game a lot, I have enjoyed playing it a lot and have 75 hours or something like that on it now. Just warning other people so losing hours of progress doesn't happen to them like it does to me. I had a battle where I had 3x troop strength of an enemy lord, defending a town they were raiding: but because cavalry ai is such dogshit they can't do anything in a village where there are so many obstacles. I understand that some of this is realistic to the extent that cavalry irl wouldn't be as effective in a denser place like a village, but to the extent that it makes you lose a battle where you have 3x numerical strength is ridiculous imo. brief clarifications: it was not the "send troop" autoresolve, which also doesn't work very well. Also, ik people are going to say just don't do ironman if u get frustrated by stuff like that, and I agree, that is a valid point, however, I still like not being able to just get out of any situation by changing save, just wish the game wouldn't screw you over so badly because of bad ai. Sorry for rant, love the game, just was very frustrated.
