Disregarding crops respawning in a week or what-not late Summer or Fall makes the most sense.

It's too bad they cut the Seasons out, that would have been cool for people like me who take forever to finish the main quest. (I still haven't)

What real life season equivalent does Skyrim start in, and if you were to say sleep until Winter is there a change in the weather?

I'm about to lose I think. I was a High Chief of Lesser Poland and married a High Chieftess fairly deep into Russia. She was was Slavic or Norse and ruled a Catholic Duchy. Somehow she became my rival and stopped having babies after birthing three daughters, which I thought was interesting. I managed to bribe her back into positive relations after a few years of being worried about having a male heir. For whatever reason all the children stayed in her court and she married the three daughters normally instead of Matrilineally. Finally a male heir was born just before she hit menopause and I went back to three concubines.

Since all the children were raised in her court, my heir remained of Polish culture somehow but Catholic religion while all my vassals and courtiers are Pagans. My heir inherited from the Duchess first, and then promptly lost all his holdings in a quick war thereby negating my inheritance scheme. After my heir inherited Lesser Poland as well he didn't last long before making a small mistake that set off rebellions and I think maybe even an adventurer party too.

Despite myself never obtaining more than one Duchy and the ability to form another, my dynasty has close to 150 living members at about year 1100 if I remember correctly without checking, all descended from one guy. Some of those ungrateful dynastics are the ones revolting against me. They must be mad about me marrying their forebears to peasants I recruited off the street for 5 piety coins and essentially ruining the dynasty's overall prestige because I couldn't be bothered to look through pages and pages of various unsorted levels of nobility to find one of appropriate rank for them to marry.

1: Argued with them.

2: The first pot.

3: Long game

Blackbelt with 14 strength and Muey Thai is what I was clearing a town with on static after a few days. Just remember to wear as many fitting clothes as you can and drop all your backpacks when you fight so you can hit stuff because it applies a stun effect on them.

You might be better off using animal traps instead of catch live land animal.

Once when I played an outsider I found a bandit camp where everyone was friendly to me. I could even recruit them.

Outsiders who have killed enemies of their group will be able to recruit them and as far as I could tell will never be attacked by them.

So technically i could recruit most of them and lay siege to the city?

Yes, if you start as an outsider and kill something they don't like.

If you only lead them into town and don't attack townspeople you won't become an enemy to that civilization, even though you caused a bandit attack.

In addition if you recruit townspeople like peasants after the bandits die to their tiny knives, you might be ambushed by bandits while traipsing about the wilds. They will only attack the peasants though, so you can lay on the ground and wait for one side to win. If it's the bandits, you can recruit more and lead them back to town.

If I could vote I would vote for a mod that has Ron's Realistic Combat Model (RCM for short) or a mod balanced in a similar way.

If The Last Days (TLD) mod ever made it to Warband I would vote for that.
