If you just like facerolling everything like in Native Warband, Floris and Prophecy of Pendor, you're not going to like this TCM. Before you download and install it, please consider that. It is very hard on the Easiest difficulty setting (20% difficulty rating) with all the hardcore features turned off. While Floris has more options, Brytenwalda has enough of them and is also more cohesive and polished than Floris.ĭifficulty warning: I want to make it clear that Brytenwalda is hard. More than other TCMs I've played, it feels like a new game. Much of Brytenwalda seems to have been built from Diplomacy and submods also found in Floris, but there are plenty of features unique to it as well.
Locations are not just limited to lairs, villages, castles and towns but also include ruins, monasteries, groves, ports, mines, caves, ancient stones, Hadrian's Wall etc. The scripts and map text files are twice the size of Native Warband.
The overworld is heavily scripted with roaming mobs and other events that trigger quite frequently. It is possible for a Brytenwalda faction to get eliminated within the first month. Afterall, there are over 30 factions (Kingdoms) vying for supremacy whereas in Native Warband there are just six factions. Brytenwalda's British Isles overworld can be described as 'busy'.
