Miscellaneous Tips
- Try to have about 20 units in your party in the initial stages of the game. This is the optimal number. You can easily handle small groups of bandits, but in case of a larger group of enemies you will also have a fighting chance and if you don’t want to fight them – you’ll be able to escape easier, as the more troops you have, the slower you move.
- Make sure you keep an eye on the food and gold. Remember that time passes and each day in the game diminishes the food supply and gold is used to pay your troops. Be careful that you don’t run out of resources during the journey or it might end badly.
- Don’t be afraid to explore. The map in Mount & Blade 2 is not divided according to the level of difficulty and in each kingdom you can meet more or less equally distributed forces of different factions and bandits.
- If you are playing Mount & Blade for the first time, choose a low difficulty level. Starting the game, set the difficulty options to Easy. Combat will still be challenging and there will be less stress and frustration. As you learn more, you can increase the difficulty, but don’t worry about it too much – it’s simply a hard-to-master game.
- Get yourself a shield as soon as you can. Blocking with a weapon is of course possible, but it is much harder to effectively block blows with the blade itself. That’s why we advise you to start playing with a one-handed weapon.
