Remember the Training Fields? The Arenas? The Tournaments? Remember how these are risk-free ways to experience combat and get better at it? With Fire & Sword has no such areas, good luck facing the ridiculously powerful mounted enemies with no units and no way to experience combat without lots of risk and loss. _-ĮDIT2: The unit names are terrible! "Poor Cossack"? "Polish Mercenary Infantryman (recruit)"? (Nitpicking at this point) If I am so susceptible to being easily defeated by generic enemies then why in the world would I ever walk around without bodyguards?ĮDIT: Why in the world is there a Ransom Broker in this game? Why has Prisoner Management doubled the number of prisoners you can haul around since Warband? There are barely any blunt weapons in this game and trying to knock guys out when they're shooting you up is a good way to die.ĮDIT3: Forgot to mention! The few guys I did capture (Looters) sold for 12 each. I keep getting jumped by bandits in towns and they snipe me despite the fact that I have trouble hitting something 5 feet in front of me. I've gone into trade to build up a bit of money (since bandits keep stealing my money), but there doesn't seem to be much point. For no reason that I can figure suddenly no villages will let me hire any more peasants. and then the game sucker-punches me in the face again. I save-scummed repeatedly (there are LOTS of these mounted enemies) and I decided that I need to get some NPCs to back me up. I'm not claiming to be an amazing gamer or some kind of strategic genius- but the generic mounted enemies are MONSTERS who will crush you without mercy, easily. I get utterly annihilated like it's a joke- to a group of less than 10 enemies. and then the game displays its true nature at last.

I accept a quest (foolishly) and upon nearing my ultimate location I get jumped by some mounted bandits. I started out with a tutorial where all the enemies had about 10 health each and I barely understand the concept of tying my shoelaces before I'm thrust out into the wide world. I can't find much information on this game (bizarrely), but here's my experience so far.
