Welcome, stranger, to the continent of Murena, land of heroes and demi-gods, where battles, danger, glory and riches await a determined adventurer. From the frozen wastelands of the North, to the vast and silent deserts of the South, rival kingdoms and people of different faiths, creeds and civilizations battle endlessly for the ultimate prize, domination over the entirety of Murena. Encounter the proud Talgoed, pushed back to the Argent Wastes of the North, and trade with the various tribes of the Myran settlers; try to outsmart the Nai people, the ingenious denizens of the Sea of Grass, that sprawling ocean of green that occupies the eastern steppes of Murena; extinguish the once mighty, but now diminished Garzakans of the Manaa desert, or join them in their fight to reclaim what was once theirs. Your destiny and great adventures await you...

The mod is fun and very interesting, but I have a question and I apologize if it has already been answered, but I would like to know why you can't loot after a battle? The start is a bit hard not being able to use captured weapons and armor after the battle.
Or maybe it's a bug? Although I don't think this is the case.
Probably an already known bug but it seems the firesworn mercenaries have no equipment (except for shields it seems). From the fact that one is called a horseman but doesn't have a horse I think its not intended
Amazing mythological mod,needs more updates

For those that are experiencing crashes during battle, try installing a WES launcher and a 4gb patch (include warband in search and top most result should be suffecient).
BUG REPORT
<On the other hand, there's a bug with castles and towns where the door that should lead to the dungeon instead takes you to the courtyard, which renders rescue or ransom prisoners quests impossible.>
Finally, some questions of my own, I'd like to know how to rid the red negative penalties my character has attained as well as when do they occur. Lastly, regarding the looting system, will my party need looting skills for it to activate without the discord fix?
I apologize if the comment is a tad long and if these issues are already known since you're mostly active on discord but apprehensive on posting the link...
Thanks for this! I'll take a look at the castle door thingie. I have an idea on what might cause this, but I'll check it anyway.
The red negative penalties are (for) now tied to items. Very heavi items, such as full helmets, full panoplies etc. give debuffs to the player, such reducing Athletics, or if it is a heavy helmet, reduced accuracy and archery skill. In order to "get rid" of those, you should use lighter gear. It is a system to make things a bit more realistic, and give flesh to the mod classes (pure warriors, archers/skirmishers, light/heavy cavalry etc.)
As for looting, in the next patch, the "fix" will be included.
And don't apologize, I hope every comment would be like yours. To make any mod better, we need feedback. :D
I am playing version 1.1 and want to report an issue. I have just started the game and my party is being pursued by some Silver slavers or some such name. They keep stopping me and asking if I have seen any outlaws. If I go to a town they wait outside for me.
Ah, yes. Probably just a bug with the WIP Law & Order system. They are bounty hunters, who hunt outlaws and the player, if he's an outlaw. I'll check it out, thanks!
Does the mod still crash like hell ? I'd love to play it but i cant because it keeps crashing in battles. will you fixi it ? or there are some steps one needs to do to fix it. dx7 ? textures on demand or sth ?
I have played v1.1 for about 3 hours now and haven't seen any crashes.
if it helps at all i was fighting some nomadic bandits
