Mount and Blade.


Finally broke down and bought the full version after not playing the demo version for like four months.

Mount and Blade, for those of you who don't know, is really fucking cool. Big giant medieval combat simulator, with lords and vassals and shit. Eventually, if you get enough reputation, you yourself can become a vassal of one of the kingdoms. Nords are, as expected, Norse motherfuckers. Beards, axes, no horses. Khergit are like Mongols. Motherfuckers are so cash. There are other kingdoms as well! You can fight in the arena for extra scratch, or fucking rob caravans and split mad innocent skulls. There are some super-rad mods too, for things like ancient Greece and firearms and lord of the rings and the epic-sized mod or whatever that makes the whole game fucking enourmous and crazy.

    I haven't played this for several months. I wonder what changes they've implemented in the meantime.

    Wondering this myself as I download...

    Also, what mods should I get? I just wanna make the game more enjoyable without changing anything too majorly. Don't want no mu'fuckin orcs or shit running around.

    I guess this is the final beta version before they actually release

    I haven't played in a while but I wonder if they've implemented a story mode yet

    That it is, mang. There's nothing quite so satisfying as fucking wrecking some dude from horse-back with a pole-axe and shit.

    My crew of 80 troops including like 50 swadian knights can kick the crap out of any castle, but still haven't managed to take on a city because it'll only let me take like 10 guys against 100 (stupid battle advantage).

    Fuck yes this game is awesome. Driving a spear into the backs of my enemies is the best thing.

    Its sorta a cheap way to get around this, but if you turn the battle size as low as you can go it ends up being like you and mabye another person vs like 8-10 defenders at a time. This will also make it so you don't need to go through the entire garrison, usually just 3-5 waves of guys before the fight spills into the next area

    "Boom. Headshot."

    Rhodoks are the only kingdom I have never played as, every time i think about it i remember their most appealing unit is a crossbowmen, sorta kills that idea

    Nothing is more annoying than fighting the Khergit, nothing

    even if you have stronger forces it'll still take forever cause they'll just ride around forever

    I still love the fights where it boils down to you on horseback with a polehammer vs. 100 angry peasants inside a village. All holding up your shield till the last possible moment to ward off rocks, seeing how many you can ride down in a single pass. Knowing that at any second, a new boiling mass of unshaven humanity will charge onto the field.

    Damn, I told myself I was going to wait for the final release, but I might just have to download the new beta when I finish my Fallout 2 run.

    This game is a whole hell of a lot of fun but I definitely get bored with it real fast. I mean, I guess it could be me since I have a pretty short attention span when it comes to video games. However, it seems like there isn't really much enticing me to continue after my dude hits level 20 and I have an army, 80 strong.
