From the Manufacturer

Mount & Blade: Warband is the eagerly anticipated standalone expansion to the original PC role-playing game (RPG), Mount & Blade. Revolving around true-to-life medieval combat, action in Warband utilizes realistic mounted combat and era specific weapons and armor, not magic. It also features a detailed fighting system, user generated content and mods, the ability to command units in single player and multiplayer, up to 64-player support online and multiple online multiplayer modes. Rise from conqueror to king. View larger. Classic RPG elements. View larger. Amazing in-game detail. View larger. Command yourself and entire units in single player and multiplayer. View larger. Medieval specific combat. View larger. Story In a land torn asunder by incessant warfare, it is time to assemble your own band of hardened warriors and enter the fray. In Mount & Blade: Warband, you lead your men into battle, expand your realm within the land of Calradia. Calradia is a land at war, a land offering great riches and even greater dangers to the adventurers and mercenaries that flock to shed their blood on its soil. With unerring courage and a strong sword, a warrior can make a name as for himself here and more. Raise a band of hardened soldiers, become the lord of several towns and castles, and perhaps one day you may wield the power to depose kings and perhaps take their thrones for yourself. Gameplay Mount & Blade: Warband is an action RPG that utilizes medieval weapons, units, combat techniques—especially cavalry—and strategy exclusively. It does not feature magic. It is a standalone expansion of the original game's universe and play mechanics, meaning that the original Mount & Blade game is not necessary for play. In single player mode players create a character, align themselves with one of the five fictional, yet historically realistic, factions existing in the gameworld and set off to carve out a realm for themselves is the kingdom of Calradia. Along the way they will meet units of other factions on the field of battle and with continued success against them gain experience and level up their character, and units. Along with being able to control their character, players are able to command and control their units in a real-time strategy (RTS) like capacity. Unlike the original game, in Warband players are afforded more diplomatic tools and strategies—such as political marriages—which can ultimately allow them to move beyond simply overthrowing a monarch, instead allowing them to take the throne themselves and even install vassals. Multiplayer Options Again, setting itself apart from the original single player game, Mount & Blade: Warband allows for a wide variety of online multiplayer scenarios. These range from near massive multiplayer online conflicts that support up to 64 players, to more organized smaller skirmishes. Modes available online include: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Conquest, Battle, and Siege. Within select online multiplayer modes units can be commanded in the RTS fashion available in single player. In this players take control of a set number of bot units in all out competition against all other players, or gather their controlled units together within a single faction splitting battlefield responsibilities in their fight against others. In this, Mount & Blade: Warband allows players to unleash both their individual character's skill at arms, as well as their overall ability to strategize on the battlefield in live play. Key Game Features A standalone expansion game set in the Mount & Blade universe that does not require the original game in the series. Engrossing RPG play in single player mode that enables players to fight their way, by themselves or with AI companions, through medieval battle fields and environments to become king by their own hand. The ability both in single player and select multiplayer modes to command forces in RTS like combat. Large-scale multiplayer battles with up to 64 players. Multiplayer modes include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Conquest, Battle, and Siege. State-of-the-art rendering technologies combine with a more informative interface, allowing new and advanced players alike to enjoy an unprecedented level of immersion. New diplomatic abilities like the ability to marry a lady of the realm for romance or cold political gain. Try to win a lady’s heart through poetry or bravery. Groundbreaking mounted combat and realistic medieval specific RPG play. A mod friendly gameplay environment where players can introduce all manner of original content that allows for the altering of character appearance, advanced customization, differing rule/game types and more. System Requirements Minimum OS: Windows 2000/ME/XP/Vista/7 Processor: 2.1Ghz or higher RAM: 1GB Disc Drive: DVD-ROM drive Hard Drive: 900MB Video Card: Graphics card with 128MB+ vRAM Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible Input Device: 3-button mouse, keyboard and speakers Other: Internet connection required for multiplayer and online activation

Customer Reviews

a fun and enjoyable indie game This game is an awesome addition to the collection of anyone who enjoys classics like medieval 2 total war or oblivion. not sure about the problems the other reviewers had about the game. I have the full game on windows 7 64 bit, and it works absolutely fine (better than fine actually). You wont find the top notch graphics here, or the best role-playing experience probably, but you will find an extremely addictive open world style medieval experience. The combat I personally prefer to any other first person medieval game Ive ever played, and the horse to horse combat is what oblivion should have been. If you have a desire to work your way from a nobody to the king of a faction by conquest and diplomacy, buy this game. Another side note, the game is incredibly easy to mod, and has a vibrant community and fan base. Great game that just is not well known Myself and all of my friends have spent endless hours playing this open sandbox! The mounted combat is very well done and exciting! Raise an army, pillage to pay and feed them, seige a castle. Now you own a castle!! Take over cities and buy buildings to bring in constant income! Trading, politics, war and even romantic ties all while leveling up your own character and picking his traits to improve in! This game has it all, and riding at full speed to make an archer kobob with your lance never gets old! Same with Vista The other reviewer said they couldn't install it on Windows 7. I'm running Windows Vista and couldn't get it to install either. I'm disappointed, it looked interesting. It downloaded and when I went to install it a blue screen popped up saying no memory or something and then disappeared. I have 3 gigs of RAM, and well over 100 gigs of space free. What a bummer, but at least I didn't have to pay for it.
