I sieged the fortress(or whatever its called its better than castle) with 400 soldiers and i only had one tiny ladder, the only reason i won was because i had a load of arrows. Also, don't you wish you could be knocked unconscious with your men dead and still escape? well you cant but luckily the AI can BTW the guy who went unconscious randomly wasn't in siege

For storming the castles/fortresses, I found the Nords (again) to be superior. I left home with 60 huscarls and 20 knights, captured 3 castles and came home with 20 huscarls + a few rescued Nords.
I am thinking about having peasant shock troops sent in first just to soften their defence, before having the heavy infantry sent in later, to minimize the loss of them huscarls, but then again, I was having more than 100 of them and I couldn't afford them all Good riddance!

My renown just passed 1000, and I'm a close mate with the king. I'll see now if he'll let me have 2 castles, or even a town. I believe renown, as well as estate, decides if the king will let you keep the castles or if he'll hand them over to someone else. The latter brings me to this point:

By captureing castles and leave them undefended if the king won't give it to you, chances are the castle will be re-captured pretty soon by the enemy, which in turn means there will be more conquests and more XP (one battle alone just gave my men more than 22,000 XP), as will as a higher renown, which finally means a greater chance you are given the castle.


EDIT: Anyone knows how to export/import characters? Anyone knows why I would want to do that? Is it possible to start a new game with a lvl 25 char?

[angry axe]

to import/export go character, then go to statistics

[Mighty Midget]

Yeah, what I didn't know was that the new character has to have the exact same name. After I did that right, I got it working.

And what is the advantages/interest of doing so?

[Mighty Midget]

Well, from what I have read so far, it's something you want to do when upgrading M&B to a new version. Not entirely sure about this, it's just what I read.

Another thing is, it makes it possible to start a new game with your level 27 character, with the same stats and the same amount of money "he" had when you exported him.

Finally, it's possible to edit the character for cheating, giving him all the money you want, editing all the stats, skills and proficiencies to wwhatever level you like.

Hummm... That's what I thought. Nothing interesting in the least

Did you read the entire post?

[Eagle of Fire]

I did. I have nothing so change to what I said.

The whole fun of the game is when you are struggling. When you have an established army you are already unstoppable. Starting at level 1 and knowing what to do, you are already unstopable! There is no point in transfering a character who could solo an entire king army by himself by the very start. And as for cheating... :bleh:
