I picked this up the other day(M&B: Warband) and have been glued to it. It's a cool sandbox-type RPG set in a fictional medieval setting. The combat is really great. You basically go around recruiting warriors to build an 'army'(the biggest I've gotten so far is 30) and fight other 'armies'. There are kings and eventually you want to become a vassal or a king yourself. The graphics are crappy, the UI is crappy, the gameplay is awesome.

I've played this game quite a bit even before the warband expansion. Once you become a vassal you can start getting your own castles and towns to pay taxes and station troops. If the king pisses you off enough (giving away a castle to another vassal even though you took the castle) you can tell him to piss off and become a rogue nation. Swadia has the best cavalry, Vaegirs the best archers, and Nords the best infantry. Nord infantry takes forever to level to the highest level it can reach. Khergit is a pain to fight as nearly all their units are cavalry archers and just run away from you. A good way to make some money early on is to enter tournaments at the castles. The homeland of the castle will determine what type of weapons you'll be using in the tournament. The combat is addictive but your right about the graphics, several years behind the times.

Yeah I've just been winging it and learning by trial and error. I became a vassal of the Rhodoks and got 2 castles and 1 town. We went to war with Swadia and by that time I had an army of 100 top tier soldiers and went nuts capturing castles. I got pissed when all my castles were given to other people so I decided to take one anyway and didn't realize I was creating my own kingdom(I was just planning to fight for another faction). Needless to say, they were pretty pissed and came after me hard. Soon after another faction declared war on me(I had previously pissed them off robbing some towns) but I was able to fend them all off. Now I'm in an odd situation bordering 4 different factions, at war with 2, and finding it hard to expand. I do have the Rhodoks' king as a prisoner though, not sure what to do with him.

So I've been reading up a good bit and I think I screwed myself. I don't really want to abandon my game but I'll probably have to start over. The strategy in this game is really deep.

I've been checking out some of the mods too. This game is fuging kick ass.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
