Love the mod, but there are so many guards etc that are not covered - I was hoping it would assist with mods like Hold Borders, as the OBIS bandits just slaughter the guards - but it calls guards from skyrim.esm that are not covered. Skyrim Realistic Conquering and Lawbringer use their own NPC's, also very weak.
Ran into a group of three Imperial soldiers escorting a Stormcloak prisoner, and picked a fight.
I was level 30, with around 350ish health andand an armor rating of 224. These basic mooks can kill me in two shots with a crossbow, or three- four regular sword strikes on Adept difficulty.
This is a HUGE issue. Is there some problem with how quickly damage scales? I've had this mod since pre- level 20, and none of the Stormcloaks, Guards or Imperials have felt this deadly before - and that was before I had cool enchanted armor.
EDIT: Ran into another group today, armor value of almost 400 hundred. One basic imperial killed me in a single sword stroke.
Could be other mods that you have. I play on adept and even tweaked the mod so that they have stronger weapons and bows specifically for stormcloaks since imperial weaps got a boost and I dont like all stormcloaks rocking skyforge weaps. The soldiers are a lot tougher but not OP for me. You have any mods that give them extra perks?
I still have to get used to ALL stormcloaks using skyforged weapons. Like Eorlond is literally the sole supply of an entire army. Might have to just make normal steel weapons with equal stats that go only to stormcloaks. Other than that, I absolutely love this mod. Made no sense that bandits and travelers were way better armed than an entire empire and a group that's managing to fight them
Here is what the author put there by default, which covers guards who wear Heavy Armor and use a 2 handed weapon, but leave the light armor and shield carrying guards at a significant disadvantage: And he had the guard skills at 40-45 for light armor, heavy armor, one handed, two handed, and shield.

Here is what I modified his list with to make LIght Armor and Shield carrying guards more effective and to bring it more in balance to 40-ish levels.
