What makes Prophecy of Pendor superior to other mods?
First of all. Atmosphere. PoP feels like proper full game, not like some mod.
- Rich lore, worthwhile companions with their agenda, much better factions than vanilla warband or any other mod out there. Also in comparison to normal warband this is low scifi setting which means you will encounted cultist, snake cult and other factions that may have in them otherwordly troops. Mind you it is tasteful content not some angel demons and shit. OST is absolutely superb. Also world has factions that are in opposition to everybody like Noldor (elves like people) who have OP gear but they don't have nation. Ton of clan systems and stuff. You can do all sorts of things with different lords, earn their trust in more ways. PoP took some lessons from CK2 in that regard. Each faction is very distinct with their own gear. And player build nation is actually your own nation compared to vanilla warband so you have your own troops compared to other nations, gear and so on.
- Stupendous amount of content. Gear is up to 11 compared to vanilla. Just plate armors have like 30 different models + their quality. ton of weapons. Unique gear that can be looted from mentioned cultist like snake cult swords, armors and so on. Moreover if you don't want actually make a new nation you can create Knighthood, equip your knight and so on. If you don't want both then you can start mercenary company and be employed to various rulers.
- Game has ton of factions. 5 Main nations + 2 nomadic nations, ton of knighthood orders and each of them has their own agenda (for example you can be enemy of some order for your actions like giving running heretics place in your village), various companies, mercenary bands, raiders and so on and each of those factions can be your friends or enemies.
- You earn fame and nobility. Sure you can start as noble thus getting easily first fief but imo best start is from 0 when you scrap your first gear, earn fame and so on. If you are not Noble when you earn enough fame some ruler may hear about you and try to give you noble title (allying you with him). You can be put in prison. rescue companions, lords from prison. When you start your kingdom you can for example make out of your companion lord.
- Completely new map which alone is better looking and better designed than any other mod or vanilla game.

Metro said this mod is not for everyone. If you look for mod that will give you gameplay for XXX hours playing proper Game of Thrones instead of clunky warband shit. If you have experience in warband it will help with game def. Also it is not like in Warband where AI is stupid. If you start your nation no one will wait for you to build your army. So you can for example start you nation alone but you can also work your way to build trust of several lords and when times comes you can ask them to betray their lords and join your new kingdom with their holds.
PoP imo is best mod out there. It doesn't make game worse for people because it is more realistic like in many other mods. It makes it more realistic in sence that it provides more content and at the same time it gives player tools and opportunities to really go and do something grand.
Nothing feels better than to stand on hill in your Lordy Pendorian Knight armor (which is absolutely super costly) commanding your army supported by your knighthood order of Fenix waging war with other nations or taking for example 1k strong army of snake cultist plundering nations.
