Troop management, morale and training are a big part of the strategy. Put your archers on a hill, set up a line of infantry and order your cavalry to follow you for a flank attack within seconds of hitting the field. You will literally lead dozens of men onto the battlefield and call out strategies in real time. Because unlike other medieval adventure games based on single combat, Mount And Blade: Warband combines first- and third-person action with large, hectic battles. You also really, really suck when you start out. You follow the trail, find the hideout, defeat the bandits and feel a sense of accomplishment unparalleled in most games. So when chasing down those bandits you might come across tracks for a party of about 15-20 people heading into nearby woods. Instead of giving you a can’t-miss target on a map, you develop your tracking skill to reveal arrows on the ground that indicate the size, direction and time a party moved through. Mount And Blade: Warband characters have deep skill trees to explore and one skill, tracking, is actually a smart replacement for waypoint chasing. Common responses are in the vein of “I saw those guys near such-and-such castle eight hours ago” and off you go.
You’re given a quest to catch bandits outside a town, and to do so you literally just roam around outside a town and talk to travellers to try and get a lead. Mount And Blade: Warband has no minimap or waypoints, which can make the first few hours extraordinarily tough for new players.
