My username should be a pretty good indication of where this review is going...

I have been playing this mod on and off for several years, far more than any other mod, and as such have endured the full scope of Cozur's schizophrenic development process. Four years ago I would have told you that ACOK was the best Warband mod out there. But somehow, whether he's adding in the ridiculous constant stumbling during combat, the grinding ten minute wait to get a siege tower near a castle wall, random events with permanent stat losses, breaking the economy beyond repair, or arbitrarily removing good features to I guess make room for crappier ones, Cozur manages to make each version worse than the last.

The current iteration is barely playable. The Westerlands are more or less wiped out by the 40 hour mark no matter what, the houses in Essos declare war and peace and other alliances more frequently than Cozur makes his mod worse, the economy is still in shambles, and you now need 100 renown to even recruit anyone (lol). Factions are randomly buffed and nerfed on a whim, and troops, mercenary camps, special troops, etc come and go at random.

You can't buy land (removed), every single profitable endeavor goes negative after a few weeks unless you stock all the supplies yourself (and sometimes even still goes negative), and you better enjoy crossing rivers (because Cozur really loves rivers apparently).

Don't even get me started on the bugs.

The 4 rating is because I really used to love this mod, but these days I would advise people to get their GoT fixes elsewhere.
