Mountain Blade II is a lie because there are, like, 5 of these.

The Empire of Calradia has fallen apart, and now a handful of kingdoms vie for dominance. The North, South, and Western Empires now fight to claim the throne of the deceased Emperor, and the vassals of the Calradian empire are not independent and attempt to stake their own claim across the former Empire.
Meanwhile, you and your funny looking brother are on a journey to rescue your funny looking little brother and your funny looking sister from a pack of bandits. While doing so, you discover a strange artifact that MIGHT change the land forever.

Mount&Blade II: Bannerlord is a third person RPG/Strategy game about making a lot of money via murder, building armies, creating a business, becoming a lord, or even creating your own empire. There’s a lot to do and a lot to keep you busy. It’s one of those games that weird people like me like to play, up there with Crusader Kings and the X Series as very specific games for a very specific kind of person.

How the game works is that you travel across Calradia to make money, you then use that money to hire soldiers for your little army, you then have to feed those guys and also you might want to get yourself better gear as the dangers begin to rise. As you go around turning looters and other bandit sorts into paste to feed your soldiers, you begin to gain a reputation for yourself and your family/clan. The best way to do this is to be really, REALLY good at man murder. I found the funnest way to do this is to live the mercenary life for a bit, hiring yourself and your boys out to a nation who’s at war, and then leaving when that war is over.
Its also good money to keep, what with being able to get a share of the loot and all.

From there, you can become a lord for one of the nations, and from there you can even create your own empire. I haven’t even mentioned starting a business and caravans and all that fun stuff. Its a medieval tycoon kind of game, if the thing you’re mostly tycooning is homicide.

Fighting is simple enough. You spawn on a battlefield with your dudes, and you go out and kill the other dudes. Your attacks depend on the kind of weapon you’re using. Swords stab and cut, axes chop, spears poke, archers are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, etc. A big thing about Mount&Blade is the Mount part, and horses are a big focus in these games. Calvary, much like real combat of the time, is the make or break for a lot of battles.

Outside of chopping idiots into fine, tasty cubes, you also have to take charge of your guys. Unless units are under command of someone else, you’ll have to be given the orders. You can tell units where to move, who to attack, what formation they’re in, if they should run away or advance, or if you don’t feel like it, you can leave it to the Sergeants while you just go back to making sure the farm back home has less helping hands for the summer.

Battles in Cliff Knife II can be anything from 10 dudes having a squabble to big battles with thousands of guys converting other guys into fertilizer. I can’t really think of many other games that capture that “Big epic battle” feel like Mount&Blade II does. And it all feels and looks good too, getting stuck in with the lads on foot, charging into the enemy lines with the Calvary, being a prick with a bow, it all works.

Doing anything in Horserider&Mandivider II earns you skills and experience for your character, you use these to turn yourself into a living slaughter machine in the disguise of a human being. Going from having regular sword fights to being a knife tornado in the middle of a battlefield is a good feeling, but its also just the “RPG progression” Feeling so I don’t really have anything else to say about it.

There’s also a multiplayer scene for the game, including some modded servers for a game mode called Persistent Empire that I didn’t know how to get into. Outside of that, I also stumbled across the Mount and Blade roleplayers on youtube, they seem to be having a lot of fun. A lot of the narrative seems to be kingdoms at war with one another with players commanding regiments of other players via voice rather than A.I. So it keeps in the spirit of the actual game.

MB2 is one of those games that I’ll install when I feel like playing it, binge it for 40 hours at a time, get bored and uninstall, and then do it again in a few weeks or months. It’s a good game, even if it sometimes takes awhile to get going.

You start out, fight bandits, get some money, get guys, join an army, fight a war, become a lord, gain territory of your own, make even more money, get married, have a few kids, build your forces, command armies, unlock the secret of the dragon.

Wait, no, that last part is MegaBloks.

Mountain Blade II: I already used that joke, gets 8 dead Aserians out of 10. Glory to Vladia.

Special thanks to Abdul Alhazred for gifting me this game. Please stop reading from the scary book.

I just came to your villiage and drafted you into my curator.
