Bannerlord palate cleanser
I hadn't planned to try this because I haven't really enjoyed any of the other mod/alternative settings I've tried, but the wait for Bannerlord became too much and I needed a M&B fix that wasn't more Calradia ... so I picked up GoG versions of both Warband and Viking Conquest Reforged on sale. Wow, am I glad I gave it a chance. It is of course still M&B Warband under the hood, but there are enough changes of emphasis and balance to make VC feel like a fresh game. More difficult (depending on settings, to some extent) and so perhaps not the best entry point for a new player ... but for a long-time player it is great. It forced me out of my horse archer & cavalry tactics comfort-zone and made me engage with one-handed weapons and the shield wall. The re-balancing of infantry vs cavalry, and melee vs missile, is perhaps the most interesting aspect of the game, certainly on the combat side of things. And of course there's resonance for those who like the historical period, or who enjoy shows like Vikings or the Last Kingdom, or who have immersed themselves the novels corresponding to that latter series. The campaign is minimally polished and presumably limited by what the engine can do, but it does engage emotionally and provides enough structure to make the game interesting, while still allowing you to mess around in the sandbox world to your heart's content. Now I'm off for another playthrough, but being ruthless instead of kind this time...
