RE: Was Mount & Blade the game Sim wouldn't shut
During character creation, I picked the noble steppe child rider with mild palsey, and wound up with 4 riding stat right off the bat.
One drawback of being in the khergit faction is that all the bandits have a speed of about 7, so you can't battle your way across the territory while collecting taxes or selling prisoners. At one point we were at war with every faction except vaegirs, so the only cities I could really go to were in khergit territory or too far away from the action.
I have 3 castles now: 2 in nord territory and one at the edge of rhodock territory. I stocked them all up to about 150+, mostly medium trained, with the balance recruits. The sheer numbers seem to deter sieges.
Swadia has one city left, and the vaegirs and nords keep seiging it in turns so I haven't been able to schedule a takeover quite yet. perhaps an appointment will open soon.
