For those wondering about kill counts - the main character alone was killing over 600 men personally in the end battles! Knights around 30 prowess were killing around 200. I didn't realise how much I could drill into the battle screen!

[@johnsteampunk6408]

20 x 200 = 4000. 23 x 200 = 4600. 4600 + 600 = 4900. Wow, 4900 damage total.

An alternative mod you can use is "More Single Combat" which makes you a knight if you are either the commander of your army or a knight in your liege's armies. Then when you do battles you will have a chance to do duels with knights. There is nothing cooler than capturing or killing their whole arrangement of Knights through a battle or war personal. Its absolutely essential for Viking characters.

This sounds like a good one and likely more user friendly!

Desert Ribats is just a unique hybridization of Warrior Monks and Desert Warriors. All you needed was Warrior Monks fro prowess per level of devotion. Not to mention Warriors by Merit also gives Prowess per level of Fame and either Martial Admiration or Chivalry give Prowess to Martial Educations. Now I just want to create a giga-Chad culture of pure prowess.

[@newtubevector]

if you stack like 400% knight effectiveness (which is not that hard if you focus on it) and gather like 30 - 40 knight slots. Only the knights (just the 30 guys no levies or other) can take on like 10k low-quality troops and most of the time stack wipe them. Getting the slots and effectiveness and easiest in India. Tip: you can reform religion with unrelenting faith and force all the knights to convert (they normally accept) and now all of them have +4 prowess.

Check the forum post and some of the other comments on here - the instructions are in the forum where you download it.
