Attacking or defending on the castle walls of a siege can be loads of fun. On-foot melee can be pretty cool as well (and necessarily once you lose your horse or get in melee range as an archer). Standing on the castle walls wailing death from above onto the invading force, or covering allied players as they're engaged in a melee, or just killing off horses as one of your infantry allies kills the enemy knight just as he falls off the horse. Just really love it to bits.Įven basic archery is lots of fun. Mounted combat is so utterly satisfying, and masterfully implemented. I love riding across open plains on horseback and jousting archers in the face, or filling enemy horses with arrows, and doing ride-by slash-a-tons on enemy infantry looking the other way. I didn't pick up the game day1 because of lack of co-op, but I'm not missing it at all (the few custom battles I played showed a pretty lackluster AI compared to other humans). I'm completely addicted to the phenomenal multiplayer. Mount & Blade Warband is an awesome awesome game.
