įor those who enjoyed the multiplayer elements of Mount & Blade: Warband or Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword, you’re in for a treat! The greatest addition is the 250 player cap versus the previous 64 limitation. Moral Warnings: Blood and violence, but blood can be disabled. Strong Points: New weapons and units up to 250 players can play on a server. (You can change the AI difficulty in the game settings.) So basically your single player options are limited to playing the tutorial or fighting dumb AI. When I say lead them, I’m serious they will just stand around until they are fired upon or you give them an order to charge the enemy. You can also play custom battle scenarios and lead your army to victory. There is a tutorial to teach you the basics of sword wielding, gun fighting, horse riding, and canon firing. While there is a lot to gain in this title, the lack of a single player campaign is a big disappointment. Several new weapons and artillery have been added, but the swords are still there for stubborn gamers like me. The Napoleonic Wars DLC expansion takes place in the 19th century, and offers many new features to the multiplayer battlefields. I liked how you could do whatever you wanted to make money and thrive in the medieval time period.
I have been a fan of the story-less Mount & Blade series since it first came out.
