Hmm, so I got less then 50 days before the Dark Knights invade.
Time to make some sort of plan.

I have 116 troops, mostly vaegir, evenly divided up between archers an infantary.
Aditionally there are about 50 units of heavy cavalry in my castle.
My character is well armored and has the ivory bow plus ivory arrows.

I'm thinking of leaving the vaegirs and taking Dhirim, since it has a nice central position and it's defenses are weak, due to being constantly fought over.

Dunno, but it looks like city garnisons had a major upgrade with NE.

Well, let's see if I'm tough enough for this challenge.

PS:
Does NE spawn troups in your castles and towns? I haven't noticed anything that far.

Edit:
Damn. My archers managed to kill the garrison of 35 men, before the tower even reached the wall.
Gotta love Vaegir archers.

With my knights i've been taking castles with less than 10 casualty's. With careful planning on what castles I take (I.E, does it have prisoners) those loses are replaced instantly.

Has anyone had success using the Battle Time mod yet?

[olemars]

I got it set up and running fine. For various reasons I haven't had time to get a decent game save going yet.

Tried making a trader for the first time.
Works suprisingly well. A lot of funds and a giant army.
However your character sucks at combat most of the time and your troops take long to level up.

Well let's wait for a nice offer from the Nords...

You could also get yourself to be a great warrior, and hire a bunch of companions that you level with Trainer and Trader skills.

Well, but Leadership isn't a companion skill and since you need it anyway, you might as well learn it yourself.
Same with Persuasion (although companions still can use it to some extent), though it isn't as important.

*sigh*
Dark Knight invasion decides to travel all the way from Praven, to conquer all my territory.
As if I didn't have enough work with keeping my towns and villages from rebelling.

Preparing for a epic showdown at Revyadin. Have over 500 fully upgraded troops in there.

I'm tempted to turn the dark knights off. Man, what utter game ruining dicks.

[sonerohi]

If you can repulse a Dark Knight attack, then you and all your companions can steal their gear and become godly.

Well their armor isn't that great, but the gauntlets are nice.

I managed to fend off a troop of 220, with 240 of my soldiers.
Too bad that you're to busy being a comander, rather than a warrior/archer, when fighting against them.
Placed Archers on a hill, cavalry and soldiers on the foot of the hill and told the latter two to charge, when enemies came too close and instantly retreat once they were dispatched.

Still, dark knights made me scared enough to turn damage reduction back on.

And since all the factions declared war on them, I may be able to get some of my territories back.

I'm screwed in the long run, however.
No wife, only 3 vassals, all the villages and towns hate me (it's pretty impossible to keep a larger territory happy) and I can't amass large amounts of money anymore :/

[dogstile]

Loot and burn the world. Except a single village Or, just recruit from rescued prisoners, i've fought three wars with just rescued dudes.

Okay guys, if I just gets Warband am I missing anything from the original game?

Not really. There are some great mods you're missing but on the whole warband is better than the original.

there is no features or content from original m&b missing in warband. Basically warband is just an improved mount&blade.
