You see, in the first part of this little journey through Mount & Blade history I talked about what made the original entry a success, but I left out one very important detail.Ĭommunities centered around a single particular game usually die down over time, but there are exceptions. No, it was the promise of what was yet to come. Not because of the official 64 player limit or the struck overarching RPG elements in favor of a system that would let you buy better equipment during the match, but with no progress save between matches. You can only imagine the fanfares playing inside the head of every Mount & Blade fan when it was announced that Warband would come with multiplayer support.
One of the most requested features from the community was the ability to play online.
And then finally the option to start your very own faction.Īll of these changes and additions in Warband were certainly needed and the singleplayer experience was a much better one for it, but wait a second… why did I just deliberately name drop singleplayer, you might wonder. A bit deeper even, and you’ll find a still lacking, but at least now existing political system, allowing you to build relationships with one of the many lords, kings and queens.
A scripted mission, guiding you into this new world you are about to explore (without pulling any punches along the way, at least for people new to the series). Peek deeper though, and you’ll find a first step towards a tutorial. After the release of the first entry in 2008, which we covered last time, TaleWorlds continued listening to feedback from the community and in 2010 it was time for Mount & Blade: Warband, a sort of semi-sequel.Īt a quick look, it didn’t offer many new features: Slightly fancier graphics, a new faction, some UI improvements.
