Hey guys, I've recently gotten back into playing Mount & Blade and looked into mods to download and have a crack at. So far I would highly recommend 1866 A Mount & Blade Western mod as it is absolutely incredible. It is for the original Mount & Blade which is pretty surprising, link here - http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,166156.0.html

Other mods which I've tried are Anno Domini 1297 for Warband which is pretty massive - http://www.moddb.com/mods/anno-domini-1257.

Do you have any good mods you would recommend?

So I bought a Mount and Blade pack ages ago. Should I not bother with Mount and Blade and just play Warband or are they both worth playing?

Native Expansion for Warband is one that keeps most of original material but adds alot of good upgrades. I couldn't go back to vanilla.

I reached end game of warband and wasn't quite sure how to finish the game, as the enemy always found 1 little place to capture. It's a fun game regardless

About 65 hours, according to my steam record, but i think i started another game at some point, so i'll say around 50 hours
