I became he Czar, but I've found it near impossible to not be crushed, as I've had a civil war started against me, the Crimeans conquered Moscow during the civil war where I took power,and every country but the cossacks has declared war on me and they demand outlandish things for peace. I'm gonna start a new file and try the Cossack quest line.
Sadly the game is heavy modification of the original M&B and was done by an independent group in 2009. I like some of the changes that were made; guns are not op, actually I find that they balance things out quite nicely. Preventing you from old habits of simply spamming heavy cav charges straight at the enemy. This seems especially true with multiplayer. Still, the game had one big flaw, and taleworlds really should have taken care of this I mean did they even ever play it before release. It was like zero QA was done with it with the broken troop trees and such.
I like the game, it's different than Warband and guns are powerful but not over powered in my opinion. God damn horse archers in MP!
i found this game rather disapointing and that warband was better. As for the bugs guys, theyl get fixed in a couple of updates/patches, thats the taleworlds way.
Tried to gain the praise of the Poles. Kinda hard when they get dicked so hard by other nations so early on. Sweden took a massive section of their territory and the nobles were either running constantly or dead.
I have played both Warband and With Fire and Sword. Overall, I have enjoyed Warband much more but the new expansion has a few good things about it. I found myself playing Warband over and over again just because of its high playability (not to mention all of the great mods). In With Fire and Sword I have only beat two of the questlines (Polish and Russian) out of the three. Overall, I just don't have the same amount of fun in With Fire and Sword that I did in Warband.
anyone else found the glitch were your the AI, both your own men and the enemys can't walk up ladders? they just get stuck on the top.. really annoying.. was forced to start over again and max out my explosive skill to sabotage the walls.
