What exactly does Wedding Dance have besides gratuitous cheesy nudity?
It has a story for a change. Actual jousts. Solve problems with duels. Marriage. Solo Dungeon-like missions. The factions are a little more characterized. Inquisition. And I'm sure there are other things I don't remember.

The gratuitous cheesy nudity is a little grating at times (yes I get it, they're Valkyries and amazons, they don't need thongs with the armor quality of platemail), but the extra additions are kind of fun.  Jousts are utter inanity.  If you actually head straight at each other, like jousting, you'll both deliver and receive on the order of 65 damage.  The only way to end without a draw is to angle out and dive back in off-kilter.  Haven't found many of the dungeon-like missions or story bits though, so I can't vouch.  Also, everyone expects the motherfucking Inquisition.  Damn those guys are dicks.

It's funny.  A couple weeks after I first got Mount&Blade, I uninstalled it.  Not because I didn't like it, oh no.  Because like Inner Space, SEIV, Morrowind, and Dwarf Fortress I can just keep playing it, bored out of my skull but unwilling to quit.  I uninstalled it so I could get shit done on my last vacation.  Having already squandered four days of another vacation, I've a mind to delete this game outright and never download it again.  It's not even that great, but I keep finding myself playing it without realizing.

Hmm, you might have had to start out with the newest version, and patch that afterwards, I don't remember the fix exaxctly, its been a while.

Did you start with an older version and patch it to the newest one, or did you start from the newest one too?

I started with 4.55 and then patched where necessary

Yeah, I don't even care about the nudity. Some of the nude armors are cool, but others are just... okay, how's that armor with 50 protection? ...  But, I think that if someone mixed WD with SoD, it would be the ultimate medieval mod.

The only dungeon I've seen is against the inquisition and it's rather disturbing. There's also a siege-like mission against the inquisition. After 100 days of gameplay, expect those guys to be really really mean. They run around with 100+ elite units.

Is it possible to remove a faction from the game? If so I will get rid of every last kerghit as soon as possible. In a 30 vs. 30 battle, with all of my units mid-rank, they still beat me even after I killed 10 alone. Those horse archers make mincemeat out of infantry...

You just need strategy.

And make sure you do not rely on infantry alone.

Capture all their towns.  Capture all their lords.  Never let em go.

It helps to manually adjust capture rates.

To like, 85-95% capture instead of 80% escape.

Hmm, it sounds like the prisoner bug is pretty prevalent but reinstalling apperently helps. Downloading now from a confirmed source, hoping it'll work out

I've never heard of this prisoner bug.

You can destroy a faction, and then their lords will be assigned to other factions! It's kind of funny fighting along side the Vaegir lords I kept taking captive.

Prisoner bug was making the game crash whenever there were larger number of prisoners captured and freed in a battle, but it was definitely due to the buggy download - make sure your installer is 381 mb for 1.011 and you're definitely all set.

For those playing Native, pick up Alayen if you want the best fighting companion possible. He starts level 2 so fast leveling up, but also with 11 str, second highest out of any companion. This means you can quickly get him high powerstrike and ironflesh. I have him equipped with a two handed axe, and he singlehandedly destroys the front line in castle sieges, taking down maybe 30-40 guys before getting wounded. Also he doesnt complain about looting villages or caravans.

Just played a bit of the Star Wars mod, which includes its own version of Custom Battles. 3-way, me(Rebels), the Empire, and the Hutts. The Empire and the Hutts started near each other, and so began to slaughter one another. Eventually the Empire won it, in part because my forces were sniping at both and the Hutts were closer. Since not one of my guys was even hurt(it started 100-even for each), and there were only a couple dozen or so left, it finished quickly.

What's hilarious though is that it seemed that my entire army had to reload their blasters at the same time right when there was only one Imperial left. And they all fired on him at the same exact time. It was a wall of lasers that knocked the poor bastard back.

I forget his name, but I like the military training guy. He even gets happy when half your army is brutally slaughtered.
