Should i get warband

For Warband idk didnt play. I still would love to be able to play it in the near future. Regardless warband is fantastic even in its most vanilla state. It really depends on what you want to play really. Warband has a lot more content when it comes to mods and is still a great game even after years have gone by. It feels and plays like a full game. Bannerlord is visually stunning but its still a work in process. Tbh, I'm having a lot of fun with Bannerlord some hours worth but the mods that I find make it more enjoyable or in some cases make it feel more complete can break the game.

I'm on a second campaign playthrough and haven't loaded any new mods since starting and I've had far fewer crashes than in my last run. But even so, I've had a crash happen during some pretty pivotal moments and its enough to make me put the game down for a couple days.

Followers and lords have much more personality. Okay, since my PC isn't that good I'm okay with old graphics and it's sometimes an advantage, I'd Esther have a game with more depth. Although bannerlord improves a lot of things if also has a lot of things missing due to its incomplete development. Or if you just fancy a genera fantasy mod then give prophecy of pendor or persino a go.

Yeah I'm planning to start playing without mods and after some time maybe I can add some to improve the experience. Just fixes and stuff.

In general? Probably not. The multiplayer? Though its kind of hard to find a server with low ping in the US. Bannerlords worth the price now for sure but warbands only like 10 bucks most of the time so if you really wanna try it out start at warband. Question I very recently got into Mount and Blade found some videos on yt, joined this sub, etc. I really liked it and I'm probably gonna buy it soon However I still don't know if I should get warband or bannerlord, are there a lot of differences?

Also this is my first post here so I hope I'm not breaking any rules or anything, and sorry if there's any kind of mistake as I'm not a native speaker Thanks in advance!

Warband is pure art. Ugly art, but beautiful when you look closer. Mount and blade is about the singleplayer for a lot of people. Bannerlord isn't out right now and will be a bit anyways until it is.

People are excited for Bannerlord now and will make awesome mods for it I am sure, but Warband has finished mods after years of perfecting them done right now. Warband would never be a bad buy if you like it. Funny, the only thread I ever read where everybody speaks the same. That's what best games do Last edited by ForevaNoob Wonemorturn ; 26 Nov, pm.

Ender View Profile View Posts. Per page: 15 30 I was so bad, and other players so good, that it took me five weeks to kill anybody. I was hungry for it, and savoured the moment. Playing as cavalry was not the cakewalk it might sound like. Being on a horse makes you a target for archers who want to deter you from coming near them, want to de-horse you, and don't want to die themselves. Hooves are loud; players can hear you coming a mile off, and pikes and spears stabbed at your approaching horse would stop it dead in its tracks, leaving you stationary on a scared and now-damaged horse to be pounced on, shot at, or hit by other cavalry.

Wily infantry players would act as if they were unaware of you; turning their back to you, or frolicking with friendly players, in order to look like ripe, unaware targets. You would bring your horse to line up with them, dig your heels in, and couch your lance to line up perfectly with their body.

At the last moment, the infantryman pulls a spear from a bush; this was their plan all along. You don't spot it quickly enough, and don't have the time to turn your horse or un-couch your lance, and your name adds to the sea of red names in the kill feed.

After playing for a week or so as a lonely cavalryman, trying and failing to make any kind of positive contribution to a battle, I joined a Mongol-themed cavalry clan called the Great Khans, named after the faction in Fallout 3 who I somehow don't think I came across in my playthrough. Joining teamspeak with them and getting advice from them on ways to play, tactics to use, who to avoid, who to target etc, was crucial to my improvement in the game, and gave more reasons to keep playing.

Over the years, those other players became friends of mine, as is often the case with close-knit game communities. They were mostly about my age or a little older, meaning they tended to be a bit more calm, reasonable and less prone to the types of outbursts of normalised racism that I heard while in other clans' chat channels. To be in the clan you had to dress in clothing that was Mongol, Chinese, Persian, Turkish-ish or Hunnish; basically anywhere that had been touched by the Mongol Empire.

You had to play as either a horse archer Warband has some of the best in-game archery I have ever come across, which is only improved by being on horseback in my opinion , a lancer, or a one-handed cavalry person. Nobody role-played in voice chat or anything, we just chatted about life. The clan had been formed by a Polish copywriter who I think might have been a bit of a hipster, and a Swedish Army explosive ordnance disposal specialist, neither of whom knew each other very well before forming the clan.

Other members included two Dutch guys a hospital porter and a nurse , a Turkish robotics PhD students who went on to work in Switzerland, a Hungarian Student, an Italian programmer, another Swedish EOD guy who was a subordinate of the co-founder , a British ex-Army guy, and two teenage brothers from Croydon, South London.

One of the brothers was a grime rapper and told us how he had to keep his love of videogames a secret from his grime friends, the other loved books. I always thought it was a shame that he had to hide his love for games from his grime friends, and I wondered how many of them in turn were harbouring dark, criminally nerdy secrets from their friends.

Some of the connections formed in-game went into the real world, with two players meeting at the Kurultaj cultural festival in Hungary, where dozens of nations and tribes celebrate Hungarian culture with food, music and horseback activities. Many other clans -- many bigger, and with better players -- existed, all of whom had their own dress-codes, rules, and culture.
