as you hopefully know by know, i love playing mount and blade. i love warband, fire and sword, viking conquest is ok, and there are a few mods i like.
just don't mention Napoleonic wars ok?
Napoleonic wars (which shall be referred as NW) is the most evil experience i have ever played. that does not mean its bad, far from it. its just the most evil thing i have ever played. here are reasons why:
1. the players
this is also an issue of normal mount and blade multiplayer. its not that the players are mean. far from it. its just everyone seems like they are from a legendary pro team from Korea who is practicing for a tournament. in case your not a video game person (why are you reading this guide then?) basically, what i mean is that every single player is on a higher skill level than i am, resulting in saddening pain. at least there's no nude warriors in NW.
2. the unnecessary complexity
there are around 20 different classes FOR EVERY TEAM! and they all seem the same. just a musket and nothing else.
3. no s(h)ingleplayer
yeah, pretty much it
4. so slow...
everything about the game feels even more clunky than the original mount and blade. the muskets are not fun to use, the controls get altered in important places, and don't get me started on the artillery
5. the inconsistency
if you have played 10 minutes of tf2, you know that there are friendly players who have stopped fighting to become friends with both teams. because of the danger in this act, they make their own servers. NW does not do that. they have a confusing melting pot of the strangest people ever, who all look like that one guy from the goonies, running around throwing bottles at each other.
dont play NW if you like warband. i learned that the hard way
