This mod is tragically flawed, however it does have several good points.

First of all, it runs like total ****, horrible performance. Cozur did something wrong with the textures or something, this alone is a deal breaker, it runs SO bad - worst running mod ever that uses native engine. Its hard to get the base engine to run THIS bad, its actually impressive.

Second of all, it is extremely buggy with hardly any playtesting/fixing of the AI nav nets, so people get stuck everywhere, spawn on top of each other and freeze, fall off walls and docks, etc etc...Pentos has no way into the city, the ladder is too short to reach the top of the wall, etc etc. Very preventable stuff, really. It's like he designed all these custom scenes (which is good) so that everywhere looks distinctive - but he did not actually PLAY any of them. Gotta love taking a city, then getting the "you must defeat the last defenders holed up in the castle" event, then finding out several of the "last defenders" are OUTSIDE the castle room. In the courtyard. This happened in THREE different cities...just unplayable.

And it is quite easy - as easy or easier than native. Get free dragon egg, sell it and get armor set, dominate the 1v1 only tourneys for easy cash. Armor values on gear are very high and cheap to get, you and your companions alone can take castles with 300+ men in them once you have full plate on everyone. You can pretty much swadia out with f1-f3 cavalry zerg + your godlike companion team - and you can do this very early, like level 20 or so. The best part about the mod is that archery does not dominate and you can be a total beast and actually be in the fight constantly (also has body shifting on death so you are always active in the fights).

It's got some great lore and quests, obviously the guy read and knows the material well and a lot of the descriptions are top notch.

But overall this mod gets like a D+, the technical issues are just too serious and frustrating.
