Slight variations on the same eight or so ugly faces populate its six kingdoms.
It already looked a decade old when it first came out on PC in 2010 (and recieved a review score of 8.1), and some minor updates to its Xbox One and PlayStation 4 release do little to make it look remotely modern. Mount & Blade: Warband, which is likewise focused on a medieval setting, feels a little like that. Some parts look like kindergartners made it, but it has soul and heart, and its images remain better embedded in my memory than some of the busy masterworks of the renaissance. Background details barely show up at all, the people look two generations removed from Gumby, and the weavers couldn't even keep the lines on the border straight. The sandbox-style RPG Mount & Blade: Warband is perhaps best compared to a work like the Bayeux Tapestry, a 230-foot long strip of cloth in northern France detailing one of the landmark events of the European Middle Ages. They’re the faction that makes the game interesting, and you can virtually take whichever path you want with them.Graphics aren’t everything - but they’re something. The kingdom of Swadia is likely to be too busy in other wars to send an entire army with a marshal to retake the hold you’ve attained.
Furthermore, Swadia is always in conflict, making fighting for them quite an action packed adventure.Īlso, they are the perfect target if you want to create your own faction and capture one of their cities. This faction represents the classic western European knights we all love and read stories about, and you can be sure these powerful knights are reflected in the game as well. That’s because they are the face of the game. They are the center of the map and every faction I just previously mentioned will all likely declare war on them simultaneously. Swadia is a faction that will get absolutely demolished and steam-rolled every game. Unless you have an astounding love for Mongols, you may like one of the other factions better. Now this is extremely annoying because half of the time you aren’t able to catch up to them unless you either get lucky enough with looting a super fast horse, or you have a boat load of money to buy one.įighting for the Khergit’s on the other hand is equally hair pulling as you soon will realize just how long their battles take every time you are waiting for your allies to successfully hit enemy troops with the bow and arrow on horseback.
This faction is a representation of the Mongols, who will relentlessly circle you on their super fast horses firing off arrows at you and your army. However, that soon changes when the player decides to join the battle as they are found to be more “annoying” than good. strength, many of the opposing factions will surprisingly lose some battles fighting the Khergit Khanate. They are at the bottom of the list because they are probably one of the most annoying factions to fight.
