Customizable troops would propel this into serious awesomeness territory. Although the cRPG items are not that A.I. friendly, so perhaps just using Native items, but customizable builds.

More importantly, replace the Phrygian Helmet of the player character with a Sallet, this looks dumb. And for the love of god allow us to fight ourselves.

I have one suggestion:

Make it so that commanders can have like 1 minute to talk with the others about, which leader to lead which type of units in battle.

Posting the troops here - maybe someone wants to go over them and edit them to be a bit more balanced.

I think Nord and Rhodok cav should be better since you need too have each troop type on each team. :)

One more suggestion,

In floris when a cav is dismounted it becomes an inf. Can you do that as well?

Adjust the map rotation, hilly plains are absolutely terrible for good fights. Maps can be really huge and people have major troubles even finding each other. Let alone if there happens to be dense fog. I rode for 1 min in one direction and the map still kept going on.

I been playin alot of TLD, last time I played warband singleplayer was YEARS ago. point is these fucking F1, F2, F3 menus are so retarded when your not used to them. make me use all the wrong commands. so much easier to just press the button for the command I want than remember some stupid combination, fail and tell my guys to switch to fists in the middle of the fight.

sorry mode seems cool but I really do not like these controls at all.

+1 for no random mountain bullshit maps also.

I would suggest a "commander" tab in the crpg page next to the "battles" tab or something. Where you can choose equip for your troops, choose what faction the troops are etc.

I don't like the idea of commanders with weapons. Simply because some tards will just go and slaughter all commanders of the enemy team. That would break the whole point of the gamemode...

Hide behind your troops. Only give weak weapons.

I would love to have access to the backspace command menu you have in Warband singleplayer normally, gives you good overview and makes commanding so much easier.

what if your troops lost morale and started fleeing if fighting when their commander not nearby?

I really would like to be able to fight with the troops, but anyway I dont think this mode can ever really take off with such limited controls. you can't get your inf to attack a target they all split and attack diferent targets.
