That is strange. In my two PCs it works, there are a ton of people that the mod works too and there are others that have the mod crash. I really don't know. I have to ask, though. Do you guys play in Windows, Steam version?

Yes windows steam version for myself. Ill see if i re download it again. Do we need to play it with WSE?

Also the fact that it has a difficulty like Brytenwalda, im excited as i feel it gives you a lot more challenging fights.

Nah, no WSE needed. If the recent WSE version goes bug-free, I will consider 'migrating' there, but so far, no, not needed.
As for difficulty, heh, I don't know if it's like Brytenwalda, as that mod was awesome. Still, the items have prices according to their material and not the cool-factor or their values, starting choices matter(if you choose a merchant, you start with good quality clothes and some trade goods and money but no weapons of significance) etc. I did not make troops or NPCs OP to increase the difficulty, I just wanted a more realistic effort, all-together. I hope I somewhat succeeded. :D

Oh man sounds great. I just redownloaded the mod and again it just stopped loading the game. Really really weird. Sigh.

Hmm, really weird. Especially if it's Steam version, as this is in what I worked on, the one I have.

Might be memory related. This mod adds a lot of items.

1. Turn on "Load Textures on Demand" in the launcher.

2. Open your rlg_config.txt (located in Documents\Mount&Blade; Warband). Set the line "render_buffer_size = 15" to be 100 instead.

I am looking forward to playing this version after I complete my own mod's version 3.0. This will be motivation to get it done sooner.

Hello everyone. So, I might be doing something wrong, but I have a little problem with the mod. Everytime I download the mod it only downloads a VLC file, which is a song titled ,,ambushed by khergit". I'm not really sure what am I doing wrong. If someone could help me out here, it would be highly apprechiated.:D
