I'd like to start off by saying i have been trying to find a way to say this without sounding like too much of a dick because i respect what the devs do and their work on this mod, but i'm just going to be blunt.
Nord Invasion used to be challenging and fun, but slowly it seems to be getting stale. As the maps get smaller and the enemies get harder, the game has definitely become more challenging but the fun seems to be leaving a little at a time. No longer can you sally forth and take the fight to the nords without being horribly massacred. Instead, every game follows the exact same pattern: Find a place to hole up, have someone shield, and then 3 or 4 people slash while everyone else can do nothing but leech or die, unless they are an archer. Before, you could at least move around the maps and stand a (small) chance of taking the enemy out without having to turtle every game. Sure, watching an archer kite the last 20 enemies in a wave wasn't always fun, but at least it was different every game. What i'm suggesting is put some of the older maps back in, or at least somewhat larger maps. Not necessarily replace them, but add them to the map rotation, maybe have some variations of the same map, such as the current hidden village and the old hidden village? Maybe i'm the only one but it just seems like a lot of the fun has been taken out of the game because you huddle behind a shieldwall every single game just to get past the first boss wave on hard mode.
I'd like to finish up by saying that this mod is the reason i have so many hours clocked on mount and blade and i don't want that to change. This mod just needs more..... variety in terms of how to play. That doesn't mean make it easier :p just give us more viable options than just holing up somewhere! I miss the days i could run out and charge the enemy with friends and feel like it was a real war instead of a tower defense.
PS. Love what you did with Great Hall
