Mount & Blade: Warband

Gekokujo
Are tournaments in this possible under most circumstances?
The tournaments in this mod seem like the most bull**** thing in the mod. You are in a map the size of a sweatshop, can get killed by some weapons in one hit, weapons are either great or terrible and you have random weapons on every team, meaning you could be against 4 practice katanas with 3 archers and just get boned, and there seems to be a blocking delay that makes blocking some small weapons nearly impossible (for me anyway). I think myself fairly good at this game. I can take on about 40 infantry in native on horseback , and can fight fairly well on NW. However, whenever im in these tournaments they give me more cancer than a pack full of irradiated cigarettes. Any tips for ending the pain of this ****? It seems almost impossible to win, being total luck what weapons you get and due to the enclosed environment make some of them useless, and seems like a ticking timebomb until you eventually get a cheap shot on you and are eliminate. The farthest I've gotten was to the final round, where the great lord one shotted me with a two handed naginata thing.

the weapon do like 4x the the normal damage...you best bet is to charge and beat the teams down one by one

In this mod tournament armor is pathetic, so speed and offense is the best defense. I try to flank the enemy when they enter melee with my teammates. I also made sure to balance all my melee weapon skills, so I wouldn't be stuck with a weapon I couldn't use. Yeah, sometimes you're going to get a bad team, and end up outnumbered, that's just how it goes with group work.

Also, in regards to Offense being the best defense: When in a one-on-one fight against an AI, ready an attack instead of a block. The enemy will approach you with his guard raised. Rush in to hit them as soon as they decide to lower their block to attack you. That Great Lord can't one-shot you, if he's too busy blocking.
Thnx for the suggestions, they really help! Sadly i still suck too much to win. I turn the difficulty down to ****ing 31% and i still can't beat these guys, but i can beat them in native on normal. I will just stay out of the tournaments, they make me want to never play again.
BTW it seems as though the weapons are longer than they appear, is that true?

Tournaments aren't that bad. The biggest thing is you have to be good with two handed weapons - I struggled when my skill was around 40-50, but once I got it up to 90-100, it becomes a cinch. I'd suggest spending a decent amount of time in the arena, or buy a two handed weapon and find some looters to kill. Honestly, I find them easier in some ways than vanilla, because getting a bow isn't a death sentence.
Yeah turns out I just sucked ass I can beat them decent now
