After eventually getting loose, I tried to go village-to-village, recruiting. I recently fought and was captured by enemy forces. All the flaws in this game are culminating into a splinter of frustration that keeps bothering me.
it seems like with every step I take forward, I take two steps back, and it’s killing me. I wanted to do an Ironman run of native Mount and Blade Warband as a sort of goodbye to this awesome game before Bannerlord.
