Rhodoks! You'll need cavalry from somewhere though, so stay neutral with one of the others if possible.

I think M&B's atmosphere would improve alot if you had the option of actually traveling with your army to all the cities and stuff instead of just using the world map, and if actual strategy were implemented, since right now armies just charge eachother untill one is completely obliterated, the AI won't even think of retreating after losing 50% of its army, while the player barely lost 2%.

You can do all kinds of flanking moves and stuff. Just pretend the enemy lords are all "idiots".

Maybe, but I just think the current M&B lacks too much for me to play it for more then a few weeks. Graphics are fine, action is good, but there's nothing apart from that. Wars feel like shortlived skirmishes, armies just charge eachother to death, cavary rules over infantry, even when said infantry carries tower shields and pikes, horses can knock down several shield barriers by merely bashing their bodies at them, without slowing down, at all. Mods improve the experience by quite a bit, but M&B is sorta limited when it comes to modding capacity. Gosh I'd so play it again if Dwarves could be modded in.

I'm not saying its a bad game, but its not nearly as good as it could be.

Rule one of awesomeness
Pillage, maim, rape, repeat.

[Rashilul]

Rhodoks it is. Did far eastern europe/far western asia pillage, maim, then rape?

Can I has dwarves in it?

@Phantom: I would, but the only thing possible in M&B is pillaging, and even then its as fun as waiting a few minutes while part of the worldmap catches fire and some good magically spawn on your inventory along with some money.

Also, aye, I think them russians were quite awesome at pillage, maim and rape. Though not nearly as good as the nords.

Vaegirs are russians. I'm talking about greeks and some countries to the east.

Also, there are dwarves. They're a race of tall dwarves called nords.

I renounce my oath, then find King Graveth raiding nearby vaegir village, Sumbuja. I join the rhodoks.

[Asehujiko]

Can i get dwarfed(heroed...?) as a solid hunk of armor on a heavy charger? To reflect on my usual strategy of playing the game as if it were Grand Theft Viking and running over stuff with my tank with hooves?

I second the motion of getting us some Vaegir Sharpshooter slaves so us proper Nords don't need to get our hands dirty.

Hmph, I should've been reading this more earlier... ah, well, I'm definitely reading from now on. 

And if you have an archery-style follower available, I wouldn't mind one.
