What good are prisoners

Here's a list of some changes that I've noticed

• A new faction was added, the Sarranid Sultunate.
• The map and faction positions have changed.
• There are new political options, for example
  • If you create your own faction, you have the option of recruiting enemy lords
  • Marriage, which works differently if you are a male or female.
• Combat has changed slightly. However, it is difficult to notice unless compared side-to-side. This affects things such as swinging animations and projectile accuracy.
  • Individual arrows, bolts, and throwing weapons can now be picked up off the environment if they miss the enemy.
  • It is more difficult to hit enemies from horseback.
  • In my opinion, the combat is worse. Swinging your weapon is no longer as quick or as intuitive as the original. They probably made these changes to balance the multiplayer mode.
• The graphics are now better, though still nowhere near that of games with large development costs.
• There is support for custom single player battles, where you can choose the two factions and Cavalry/Infantry/Archer ratios as well as the map and game type (battle and siege).

As a side note, the multiplayer mode is quite fun and I suggest you try it at least once.

Thanks to some friendly in game individuals, I determined what "accuracy" is as determined by armor. It is a "glitch/typo/bug" that displays the word "accuracy" where "leg armor" is intended.
