Viking Conquest 1.3 is currently in Beta, and I'm hoping that by the time 1.6 rolls around (next fall?), the game will be worth playing. This is a problem that won't go away, but if the core game is enough fun, if I'm getting enough of an early medieval fix, I can live with it. Now it's possible that part of the problem is that I'm a lousy tactician, but it's not much fun fighting all of those battles knowing you would get better results by doing practically nothing. But what I couldn't help but noticing was what is probably a fundamental weakness of these games: if you come up with a decent-sized party and just turn them loose at the start of each battle, they almost always do a better job of defeating your opponents than you could yourself by using tactics. I've always loved Fire and Sword, and I was surprised at how well basic Warband plays. Surveying equipment just wasn't that good back then.Īfter playing around with it for a while I decided to give my two other TaleWorlds games another go. Anyone who has ever excavated a pre-modern village knows that this just doesn't happen, even when the town-planners (if there were any) were trying to set everything up in a nice Hellenistic grid plan.

Almost as if a mad surveyor had made sure that every wattle and daub hut was perfectly aligned to the one next to it so that the streets were perfectly straight with lots of right angles at the intersections. My two general observations about the game were that it was somewhat buggy (no surprise) and that the villages were disturbingly regular in groundplan.

When the game was first released I played around with it for a little bit.

Shortly before release I got a good price on the Mount & Blade Viking mod and pulled the trigger, even though I didn't expect it to be playable for a while.
