I still play on easy. But this game's pretty fun. In my game Swadia is getting their asses kicked and lost their last castle and village. Faction description says they own nothing, but how come I can't wipe out their faction? The goddamn solo counts are pillaging random villages every week. I can cap them easy but it's annoying.

Is this a bug?

I only tried the first one, actually I think I'm going to torrent Warband right now.

cRPG MP servers in Warband are super fun

It takes a while, the lords migrate, it happened on patched and unpatched game with me IIRC(take that with a grain of salt). You can still recruit their troops from villages too, btw.

Didn't you get a window telling you Swadia died or something?

No I didn't receive such message. Faction windows says Swadia has no territory. But the lords kept popping around solo, burning and pillaging. Annoying, but pointless.

Still wondering if it's a bug since I got the steam xmas copy.

It's not a bug - it's an unfinished product. Yes, that's right. They promised to deliver the ability to completely assimilate an entire faction, and then didn't. Instead you'll have the ruler forever running about, even if all his lords defect or are imprisoned. Hell, I've even seen them conquer shit back from other factions after they once again amassed hundreds of followers. Shit's ridiculous.

Unfuckingbelievable.

I never got around to looking for any mods, but maybe there's a mod that fixes that. Let me know if you find out, though!

I'm day 12 into Warband and it's several times better than the original.

It is, yeah.

Still an unfinished, retarded product though. So much god damn wasted potential… pisses me off.
