If you don't use lances though this setting is of course irrelevant. With manual you need to push a key to do this. With automatic you raise and lower at appropriate speed. One other thing that changes the difficulty number is the lance control. Some mods will improve the AI to some extent by giving them more options and this may become more noticeable. You can think of it as the global weapon speed baseline for everyone.Ĭhanging the campaign AI and combat AI settings will make the AI slightly less stupid in theory but it really doesn't change the core behavior much. It changes the pace of combat to some degree by changing the speed of the attack animations. EG3 has numerous ambitious design elements to it, but the best is the addition of enhanced troop AI, extra combat abilities, and a greater emphasis on character diversity. But I play up and around 90-110 derivatives being battle sizes. I played the first M&B with autoblock and forced myself to do manual block in the sp of Warband to get anywhere in the multiplayer. Luckily, has taken that statement to heart. Auto block makes you lazy and useless when it comes to the multi. Set these at normal full damage for yourself and your allies if you feel up to it.Ĭhanging the battle speed also has a significant effect. It just wouldnt be Mount and Blade without the emphasis on blade, or brutal combat.

What actually changes the real difficulty (not just a number) the most are the damage settings.

Again, the number itself doesn't matter - just use the settings that you like. If you play around with the settings in your current game you can see this number change. Mods can change the actual difficulty without this being reflected in this number at all. Would anyone be able to recommend some mods that perhaps work with 1.6.4 that improve AI combat and tactics Ive seen that its really tedious to fight in massive battles where AI just gets their units obliterated like absolute idiots despite having higher numbers (simply commanding their units. The diificulty measurement number is just a rough estimate based on your settings and really means nothing by itself. Mod that improves AI combat & tactics Bannerlord.
