A great medieval war simulation
I've put 131 hours into M&B: Warband according to Steam - one of my top five games of all time. In Warband, you control the leader of a warband who gathers followers, trains and equips them, and clashes with other warbands on a massive map. You join one of the factions and prove yourself by aiding the nobility and helping defend the kingdom. You can raze enemy towns, rescue captured maidens, track down deserters, take control of your own castle, even eventually become the king! The AI characters all move around realistically - defending their castle, joining their king in war, attending jousting tournaments, secretly visiting lovers, trading, patrolling, and chasing bandits. You move around the open world and interact with these characters - either fighting, talking, or trading. The combat is real-time, third-person combat. You lead the charge, but you can issue orders to your troops - tell the archers to stay on the high ground while your cavalry flank the enemy, for example. The combat is much more realistic than most games - you have to aim your attacks, arrows drop after long distances, cavalry will run you down with their horse. It's challenging and intense and rewarding. The game doesn't hold your hand - quests are generally short and, to be fair, pretty repetitive at times. You have to carve your own path - do you train your warband into an elite force and hunt down bandits? Do you suck up to the king in the hope that he awards you a fief of your own? Do you sneak into a castle to rescue a captured nobleman and fight the guards yourself? it's up to you!
