The modding community for Warband was pretty amazing, lots of finished and ambitious mods, many more unfinished but playable ones.

There were some complete rework fantasy mods. I couldn't play them myself. The personal combat made no sense to me, and those superhard mods hinged on it at least in the early stages. I remember that I tried to learn how to do it. It just didn't make any sense at all.
I had no idea where the hitboxes were. I get the idea of arrowdrop and mounted archery being ultimate twitch. That's fine, it's great even. But foot combat didn't make sense either. Swings and blocks... it was all incomprehensible to me. So I had to play the game where you composed your force and let the AI steamroll each other.
I know some people did understand it because you could watch youtubes of people just wrecking shit in personal combat. It never clicked with me, it felt semi-random. I could -not- get the knack of it.
But I do suspect that was a personal inability to gitgud rather than a limitation of the engine.

There's quite a bit of depth to it. I prefer the mounted combat which is higher speed (as in, translational speed rather than timing). The melee combat can also be heavily dumbed down by setting your swing direction to enemy location instead of mouse movement, which I prefer to play on since I don't like associating camera movement with swing direction. I wish they had some kind of support for controlling your swing/block direction by keypress, but when that was proposed everyone said it'd trivialize the game. /shrug

Since it is kind of a small community, I didn't think it deserved it's own thread, but if anyone would like sort of a M&B fix, have a look at this. Feels a lot like a M&B kind of game but in a modern military civil war setting. It still feels a little EAish but I got a lot of time out of it on my first playthrough.

Its going to look much better from the perspective of my god of war, or naked legolas on a horse.
At the start of the battle the NPCs are a small distance apart, it shouldn't be too hard to add that to combat AI, and disable it for the units that can shield-lock.
I only need 6-8 more beers before singing praise, it would have a tone of despair though.

Had to delete all mods and reinstall. Fixed it.
