F+S isnt that good, indeed there are (much) better mods that offer the same experience. Napoleonic Wars is magnificent though, one of the best multiplayer games around and it has playable musicians.

I only picked up Warband, if I enjoy that I can always pick up Napoleonic Wars next time it's on sale - which I am sure will happen sooner or later!
Would you mind pointing me towards a good site to find mods? Cheers

Oh and I wondered how such a nice game can come in at well under a 1 gig download - no voiceovers (devs take note, you can keep your several gigs of audio files and shove them up your collective arse). Praise be to whichever deities (and game devs!) are responsible for making games compatible for the hard of hearing. I got worried when I searched for a setting to turn subtitles on and couldn't find it, caused a moment of consternation. I quickly realised there was no need

Just going through the tutorial now and it turns out I am a dab hand with both bow and crossbow - always been keen on them in computer games (at least where it is done well, and I was not bad at archery IRL before the arthritis in my shoulders curtailed that particular activity) but I am slightly perturbed by the fact that an arrow seems to have a flatter trajectory than a crossbow bolt - that's going to take some adjustment!
Edit: the game also hates ALT-TAB

Loving it! A lot of depth in the game - as well as the sheer joy of cleaving your enemy's skull with a heavy bastard sword.
Be nice if you could have a peasants revolt to join in with - severed heads of the nobility mounted on pikes etc - maybe someone should do a 'mount and blade - medieval class war!' mod.

There is a section of the Taleworlds forums that contains most of what you need. The Floris mod is one of the better ones, it looks better and has a lot more detail.

OK in the brief time I spent in the tutorial, I worked out how to get my horse to gallop. I cannot work out how to get it to slow down or halt, other than aiming it at a tree - which is not the approved method of asking a horse to slow down/stop. I'm obviously missing something, just tell me which button to press (kb+m) so that this cruelty can stop!
Edit: I'd just like to add a small criticism, in that horses used in warfare in most of Europe (from the similar period in real life that is represented in the game, right through to the 20th Century) have typically been a bit more stocky than the slender-legged Arkle lookalikes depicted here.

This went well.
It's been a while since I've played, but tried pressing/tapping/holding S (or whatever you have as WASD) ?

Hope the wait is due to it having a lot more depth. Original had huge potential but ended up sparse in too many places.

Been Brytenwalda-ing away recently in anticipation. Served Rheged for a while loyally, built up rep and a big army of elite infantry and now have come south and gone independent liberating the occupied lands of Glastenic and Hwicce. Have unfortunately been obliged to obliterate Cornwall too, as they jumped on my fledgling kingdom and wouldn't accept any peace but destruction. * mournful music *
Still seems so fresh Banner Lord has a lot to live up to!

Apparently due those discounts due to owning warband so might just go steam. Only just read that founding own kingdom one of features not done yet so hope that comes soon.Humble have run out of keys and they didn't say anything until I bought it

ah, yeah. forgot about that. Saved myself £1.70 odd but have to wait till they get more keys.
And now don't want to buy on steam as it can take 60 days to get a refund.

Took the plunge and downloading as we speak. Almost never buy current games as there's so many classics to catch up on, so hope this laptop is up to it. Should be going off specs, went future proof when I got it.ah, yeah. forgot about that. Saved myself £1.70 odd but have to wait till they get more keys.

Played a bit beginning with the tutorial, looking good but graphics a bit much for this laptop. Thought I was missing some textures at first but it had just auto opted for low setting looking at my graphics card. Tried pushing it up a bit and it works OK but not going to be smooth in a battle of any size so come back down a bit again, looks a bit washed out but might be a brightness thing or just getting used to new style. Few fights I've had so far are just minor skirmishes with no tactics involved. I'm still useless on horseback Swinging and missing all over the shop while the boys mop up, though at least I present a distraction.

Early days but made up so far, its basically Warband with far better graphics and a lot more to do.
Its also reassuringly hard, like the first one was - first bit in combat I think I hit one bloke out of the raiders... but it was in the head with a lance, so he died.

And that was going down to tesco before you booted the game up
I've taken to dismounting and joining the infantry so i can actually hit someone. Suppose I could always admit my failure and hang round the training field for a bit.
