Mount & Blade: Warband Review

Warband refines the rough-hewn Mount & Blade (Native). While the original offered stellar combat mechanics, in the end you could only do so much. Interactions with other lords were limited, and while starting one's own faction was theoretically possible, in practice it was virtual suicide. Warband fleshes the game out a little. You have more options to make friends and enemies. You can marry into nobility and even achieve a level of legitimacy as a ruler in your own right. You can also promote your followers into lords or send them to gather intelligence in other empires. Add in the new Sarranid (Arabian themed) faction, and the augmented game proves quite entertaining. The lack of a formal plot leaves details to the imagination, but even so, it feels like a story is playing out.

You can just see how King Graveth is ruining his empire by claiming all the new lands for himself. Sure, his kingdom is growing vast, but the lords are growing restless. Soon Graveth himself gets wind of the discontent and begins exiling men left and right for treason. When Matheas finally does betray him and takes Veluca with him, the player character storms the walls and retakes it asking for the castle as his reward. But then what? With so few lords remaining to his King, half the empire is in the player character's hands. Should he try to lure back some of the exiled lords to his liege's service? Or is it time to secede from this dying empire and call on his old allies and in-laws to join the new kingdom? Could such a kingdom survive the threat of civil war, the hungry Swadians to the north, and the Sassanids to the south who have been waiting for the right moment to retake Shariz? It's addictive...
