Mount & Blade: Warband is an independent expansion for the action strategy game Mount & Blade, offering a realistic combat experience on horseback in a violent medieval world setting. In the land of Calradia torn apart by endless wars, players will gather a tough army of warriors and enter the battle to claim the supreme throne.


The game makes a difference with a unique combat system, allowing control of attack and defense directions in four ways. Players can perform horizontal and vertical attacks and defend from all angles, creating dramatic battles with up to 64 players in various multiplayer modes such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Conquest, Battle, and Siege.

The highlight of Warband is absolute freedom in sandbox gameplay. You can become the lord of a faction, persuade other lords to become your subjects, upgrade teammates to subjects by granting them land, or even marry a lady in the kingdom for love or political benefit.

The game has significant graphical improvements with support for HDR, FSAA, depth of field, soft particles, tone mapping along with many other effects. The character models are more detailed with high-quality textures, creating spectacular battles in the desert, grasslands, and ancient castles.

The morale system of soldiers is significantly improved – soldiers will panic and flee if morale is too low. Players can pick up any type of ammunition on the battlefield to use as backup ammo, and throwable weapons can be used in close combat when enemies get close.

Warband adds a new faction Sarranid Sultanate with medieval Arab style, bringing strong Mamluk cavalry and diverse tactics. The world map is completely rearranged to suit this new faction.

With 97% positive reviews from over 54,000 players on Steam, Mount & Blade: Warband has established its position as one of the best strategy games of all time. The game supports strong modding with a very active content creator community.
