Ive been playing this mod for weeks now and its total insanity...I love it! I tried the templars out and never came close to victory!!! I cant even survive w/the sicilians or milanese...I love this challenge. I play vh/vh...never seen the computer use naval invasions this aggressively.

Well, your name is Varro, so maybe you're supposed to lose a lot.

Actually, do yourself a favor and play at H/VH. I used to play at VH/VH, but with this newest version of SS, I became too frustrated. HARD difficulty is, believe it or not, a real challenge. Even as the Danes, with their easily defended homeland, it's very hard to expand quickly. I've been at war with Milan, England, Scotland and Poland for over 100 years. Ceasefires don't last long, maybe two or three years tops. I think it's fun, though not very realistic, because these factions continue to go to war with me even when they are down to three or fewer regions.

The army configuration is the best of any mod, so the battles are glorious!

so true... i captured the hre king and ransomed him. later chased him down and killed him... and destroyed many MANY hre armies and provinces. They never gives up, wouldn't give up war, or become vassal or anything.

Thanks!

Very nice to hear that!
My major aim with my mod was from the beginning that this game should be a challenge and that the player should be able to loose this game!
I hope that I can improve this further!

well i played france today... that was somewhat poor but i guess thats because really french have my dream rooster. Cavalry. And cavalry and yet more cavalry!
However i wanna try some eastern faction now.. its so ****ing challenging to go against the mongols

**Mike13531** · May 31, 2007, 03:01 PM

spearmen is the key against mongols, it'll take out their horsemen in no time, plus some heavy infantry to take care of their pitiful weak infantries

Yea spearmen are the key, if your looking to take alot of casulties and loose the battle. What you really need is a combo of massed archers, light cavalry, and a few units of backup heavyinfantry. Have your massed archers outfire the mongols and hopefully kill alot of horse archers; longbows and pasive crossbowmen are best for this. It'd be good if you can get your light cavalry to engage thier horse archers too. When the mongols feel like they want a meele, its essential you bring out your best heavies and crush their weak meele force. Now this is if your talking about open battles though.

archers?? you sure? cause they are easy targets, you gotta realize that, cavalry run them over like cabbages... especially with mongols massive powerful cavalry. No, heavy infantry and spearmen are requirements, but with couple of good cavalry with do A LOT of good, they can be used to chase down mounted archers

Just wanted to add that this mod is going to be for MTW2 what Terrae Expugnandae was for RTW. It makes many small changes that only enhance gameplay, but not altering it one way or another in any major way. That's what I want. I like Vanilla MTW2 and I don't like it when mods stray away from that (same with RTW). But when mods only improve on it with many, many furnishing details then I'm in love.

Playing as the Moors. Great new regions and mercenaries that help me out. I played Moors on vanilla and had great trouble because all their spearmen suck until you get Dismounted Arabs. But now you can recruit Andalusian spearmen and they pack a bit more punch. Helped me taking Tunis and Valencia. I also love the titles, adds a whole new dimension to it.
