Paradox Release Mount & Blade Collection

Taleworlds Entertainment and Paradox Interactive have today released an all-in-one package for the medieval games Mount & Blade. The series has long been about giving players a real feel for medieval times, with combat being as close cutting as possible.

Developed by Taleworlds Entertainment, the Mount & Blade Collection comprises the original Mount & Blade, set in the fictional land of Calradia and introducing innovative free-form sandbox melee gameplay. Also in the package is Mount & Blade Warband, featuring multiplayer battles with up to 64 players.

Completing the collection is Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword, based on the cult novel by Nobel-prize winner Henry Sienkiewicz and offering additional multiplayer modes along with the introduction of firearms.

Currently on both Steam and GreenManGaming at $29.99 US, it's definitely a nice price tag for a series that really brings about your medieval instincts, with a RTS/RPG style offering in the singleplayer, and all round mayhem in the multiplayer of each title.

Weird, I just started playing this again last night.

TBH, Warband is the only one worth bothering about.

I agree. The original was great but IMO warband improved on it in about every way. And while the fire and blade added some cool new features, i didnt like the limited troop recruitment options.

Never tried multiplayer or mods.

Multiplayer is hilariously fun. Play it with my mates at our LAN's of 6-8 people, really goes off. I'm actually enjoying Fire & Sword more then Warband with the story and new troops etc.

I loved the new troops in fire and sword but didnt like the methods of acquiring them. I enjoyed recruiting from villages then slowly levelling them up in the previous games where as find a merc camp then upgrading their weapons to me was lame. Plus, i found my troops got massacred by the enemies' higher level troops that i could only acquire through savings POWs.
