I stumbled onto this game after a terribly bad experience with a horrible clan during one of the worst periods in my life. I spent an, honestly, unhealthy amount of time making my way to generation 19.
I remember Camping The Stairs and xKhanx, shield walls and [D]efend the Stairs!
I remember morning duels when the servers were "low" population at 15-20 people before the daily rush of 30/40 per side rolled in.
I remember goatee
I remember when archery was viable, and when horseback xbow was broken.
I remember overtuning athletics, running about with a rondel dagger, and absolutely assassinating backline players.
I remember getting stomped by players who were actually good at the mechanics, but also holding my own enough to enjoy most rounds.
I remember grand battles and good times, a lot of trash talk with very little malice.
I guess what i'm trying to say is it's weird that i'm back at a forum for a game i haven't really in at least 5 years, but that's a testament to quality and community.
Y'all provided some great times and i'm looking forward to what comes for CRPG Bannerlord.
Until then I'm honestly thankful for the times i had here, they are in my top 3 lifetime gaming experiences.
You guys are unironically the bestest.
