It makes you aware of what each option does, and how it will influence the game, rather than the original UI which left you to figure out most of this on your own, with many of the options available to the player hidden away in a text.
There are also more ways to customize your playthrough, with options now available for tournaments, extra options for companions…naming all of the features would do this mod a disservice and for the most part, the main reason this is the top of my list is just how it affects the user interface.
The mod offers a lot, with expanding the trade networks to sea trade, owning land within a city (not just the city itself), renting out property, trading stock with merchants, and expanding the item list by a ridiculous amount.
It’s essentially the baseline for many of the popular smaller mods where additional dialogues and events have been created to further player immersion. The Floris mod pack is one of the best, if not the best mod that has come out of Warband.
The big selling point for the series is that no other game does what it does of course, you have medieval combat in the likes of Chivalry & War of the Roses, but those games are heavily PvP focused with no other stripes to bear other than multiplayer driven gameplay.
Now, the game hasn’t aged particularly well visually but the gameplay itself is where it really excels, so you’ll find yourself looking past the crude graphics that feature in Mount & Blade. If you enjoy medieval combat, swordplay in a first or 3rd person perspective, role playing games, army and settlement management or just like pretending that you are a crazy ginger Viking you will love this. For those of you who haven’t played it, I highly recommend it. I’m a huge fan of the Mount & Blade franchise and even to this day, there isn’t anything else that really ticks all of the same boxes quite like Warband. Once you lunch the game this scream will appear you only need to change the game module from native to your mod’s name and are set to play.Mods can really extend the life of a game and Mount & Blade has really made the most of the mod workshop on Steam. Inside it you just need to transfer your mod’s files.Ĥ° Now to play your mod you just need to get back to the game’s main file that was presented on step three and access the game’s launcher it’s called ‘mb_warband’. It will take you directly to your Mount & Blade file.ģ° Now that we are actually inside the game’s file we just need to enter the file called ‘Modules’. You only need to fallow these simple steps:ġ° You must go to your steam library and click with the rigth button of the mouse in your Mount & Blade copy, the fallowing options will appear before you, the one that you need it’s called ‘Properties’ just click it.Ģ° Just click on the local files tab and then on the ‘BROWSE LOCAL FILES’ option.
