Over a thousand hours poured into the game. I decided its time to say exactly why I've spent this much time playing it.

Warband is a game that attempts many things, being a medieval combat sim, a sandbox, a RPG of sorts, and much more. It has many strengths and a few weaknesses.

PROS:
Strong modding community. There are hundreds of innovative and fun mods that reall revamp the game and add new life to it each time you play.(To name a few, Blood and Steel, A New Dawn, cRPG(this ones MP), Perisnio, and thats not even scratching the surface).

Infinite replay value. Each time you replay you can do something completly new and different

The melee combat is somewhat difficult to learn but once you do its innovative and always fun

Multiplayer in just native is somewhat boring, but there are a few mods that add tons of new stuff. Like Persistent World which makes it sort of like an MMO, cRPG which adds consistent characters, and I'm sure there are a few more.

CONS:
Lack of things to do in Native gets a bit boring.

Ranged in base game and most mods is very overpowered.
