Mount & Blade: Warband for PC, AND and etc. is a standalone expansion to an acknowledged game from TaleWorlds. The add-on was produced by the same team that worked on the original title.

The original Mount & Blade debuted in 2005. It is an interesting combination of strategy and RPG elements. What makes it unique is that you can directly take part in spectacular medieval battles. This time the developers wanted to expand and improve many features of their work while adding some crucial options like online battles. TaleWorlds introduced many new features based on the feedback from the players’ community.

Gameplay

Warband on PC, AND and etc. significantly improves artificial intelligence of lieges and commanders when it comes to political and strategic decisions. Diplomatic possibilities were expanded too, so you can now wield more power and have more direct control over your kingdom. This filled some gameplay gaps present in the base game. With Warband, subduing other lords and reaping profits from it is a common thing. There is also an option of starting political alliances through marriage. What's more, the developers made it easier for new players to find themselves in the game’s world by adding more hints in the early stages. The world map includes all the locations from the base game and introduces a new faction (Sarranid Sultanate) and numerous side quests to complete.

Expansion

December 11, 2014

RPG

The second DLC expansion for Mount & Blade: Warband - an action-RPG sandbox game. Viking Conquest is set in Britain and Scandinavia, focusing on the conquests of the titular Vikings. Similar to the previous, "Napoleonic" expansion, the creators were inspired by a fan-made modification Brytenwalda - they improved it with the help of its original creators. This time however, the expansion introduces a single player story campaign, apart from a variety of multiplayer modes, such as Coastal Assault or Warlord. Said campaign focuses on plundering expeditions to the eastern Britain, conducted by the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok - a Nordic leader. The player is thrown into the midst of fighting and numerous political intrigues. The game's map contains over 300 towns, representing different countries and cultures. Also, an ability to both travel by sea and fight on the waters was implemented - the player can build and buy different kinds of ships as well. As usual, a significant layer of authenticity underlies the contents in the expansion.

Action

The first DLC expansion to the bestselling action RPG, Mount & Blade: Warband, from TaleWorlds. It is an improved version (supervised by the game's developers themselves) of a popular fan made modification Mount & Musket: Battalion, taking the players to the eventful time of Napoleonic wars. The title doesn’t feature a standard single player campaign, focusing only on multiplayer skirmishes, which have been greatly modified, when compared to the basic version of the game. The expansion introduces more than 220 accurately reconstructed units, which represent five main countries taking part in the conflict started by Napoleon. Among them we will find many types of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. One specific novelty is a special commander mode, in which we lead our own AI-controlled troops. The creators have also implemented new animations of surroundings and weather effects, resulting in much better visuals.
