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]
It's great and I think it deserves a lot of praise for being quite unique- I don't know of any other games like it, in the way that it combines various game genres. In a way it's the game I've always wished they made- every time I played the Total War games (mostly Rome 2, Medieval 2, and Shogun) I always wanted to be able to enter and live in the world rather than see it from outside.
The battles and combat is also very fun and it's satisfying to get kills, especially when you hurl a javelin and knock someone off their horse. Music and graphics also quite good, and the game seems to run very smoothly.
The only criticism I'll write about for now is that perhaps the game could do more to explain things to you. There was a brief period, shortly after first playing, where I wasn't having fun, and the reason is because I didn't know what I was doing wrong, e.g. chasing looters halfway across the map.
