Unlike in the original Mount and Blade, Warband gives you basic instructions in basic actions like fighting, there are also a few starting quests.Īfter these quest there are no breadcrumbs to follow, you are on your own, the beginning is usually hard, as there are bandits, deserters and other outlaws just waiting to break you and your warband down and take all those few items that you started out with.īut if you manage to survive long enough you should start gaining levels, earning money and even winning a few small battles. The map of Caliradia has been recreated to look more like a real landscape, it also features a new faction, The Sarranid Sultnate.Īfter the character creation you have to choose in which major city you want to start in, each city is the capital of every faction. The new expansion, Mount And Blade: Warband features better graphics, multiplayer, new weapons, armor and quests. The gameplay is mostly free-form unlike most games there is no main storyline to follow, but quests still play a major role and are a key way of gaining wealth and respect in the land of Calradia.
Mount&Blade is an ambitious combination of traditional RPG character management with RTS-like troop trees and a strategic world map.
