Also only keep empire crossbows but ditch other empire units later on for they suck and will die ASAP in every fight its like they are magnets for the enemy even the top tier infantry gives many loses every fight and you have to constantly retrain them and its boring. Just do quests and kill bandits till you are comfortable taking on snake cult, which if you have a good horse and a lance you should be able to without problem as their knights suck and wont kill many of your units in their charge but their archers are dangerous and should be priority 1. I think Empire is best for starting as you have the best archers in the game and there is only small snake cult bands and no hostile knights in your borders. You must learn to avoid a lot of fights and sleep in castles to let big armies pass if possible, but you also have to have an idea about which minor factions patrol which lands because all those little knight bands of 30-50 men will annihilate your early 200men army with 0 losses on their side and they run with 7.0 speed so there is no getting away. Its a very different play then what you're used to. Overall great experienceĪfter several frustrating starts I managed to understand this mod. Kinda wish you could take a ship and sail to their lands, recruit the army there and go back to Pendor to kick arse ! That would be nice, but I guess not having what you want is part of the difficulty. I know there are some in actual Barclay armies, but it's hard accessing them. I wish I could recruit them more easily though, and have access to cavalry since that's what I currently lack only having Barclays. And I cant fend off 2000 Fierdsvain with 120 men, Barclay or not.
My poor village seems to be targeted by the realm's enemies Way too often though.
After numerous victories (Curb stomping, those Barclay guys are like a buildozer force) I finally got offered vassalage under the king of Ravenstern after day 300 or so.
It cost me a heck a lot but it's so dam worth it. Then I had the random idea to only recruit Barclay mercenary, and suit up future companions in Barclay armor. Suited myself in Barclay armor (dam those things are tough). I had a very slow start where I tried and install my dyeworks and tanneries across the realm, to have a steady base of income, then I had the luck of finding a Noldor shortsword sold by a weapon merchant in Marleon I think, made fights a whole lot easier, well worth the cost. It's really a pleasure going about in the world of Pendor.
