I’m going to talk about the most popular one, Warband.Ĭontrasting with the three expansions, which respectively take place in Dark Age Britain, the Napoleonic Wars and 17th century Eastern Europe, Warband, just like its predecessor/beta/older version, is set in the fictional land of Calradia, which is divided in six factions often at war with each other, each claiming to be the rightful heir to the Old Calradian Empire. The Mount & Blade franchise is made of the titular Mount & Blade, Mount & Blade: Warband, which is pretty much the finished, updated version of the original, its two expansions – Viking Conquest and the multiplayer-only Napoleonic Wars – and a third, stand-alone expansion: With Fire & Sword.
This little contest allowed me to redeem myself. I went and bought the series without a second thought. During last year’s Steam Winter Sale, there was a intriguing game with a mind-boggling proportion of positive reviews, many clocking over a thousand hours of play and telling epic and absurd stories of gameplay.
