TechnologyĬompared to its predecessors, Mount & Blade II boasts notably enhanced audiovisuals, as its based on a brand new proprietary game engine. On top of that, there is a complex crafting system, which allows you to forge your own unique blade choosing its statistics and appearance. Mount & Blade II offers a much more expanded management of your lands (you can impose taxes on them, train warriors, assign men to construction sites, etc.), as well as an autonomic trade system that reflects supply and demand. The game world has a life on its own – the people you meet are busy doing their daily jobs or performing various activities. The game is introduced by a much better tutorial, which is now more dynamic and compelling than previously.Īmong other improvements that are worth mentioning, there is greater depth of individual characters – each of them has their own background story and profession, which may prove essential for the entire party. the character editor was expanded to let you adjust almost every element of the face and appearance of your hero. The second part of the Mount & Blade series brings about numerous improvements and modifications, which further emphasise the sanbox structure of the game. Apart from performing story-related missions and a whole bunch of side quests, the core of gameplay consists in waging multiple battles, in which you personally command an army in over-the-shoulder view.

You recruit warriors and adventurers in local inns, and buy food and water for your party from villages. As you play you move around a vast map of a virtual realm spanning across 230 square kilometers. Therefore, the story is just a background for extensive gameplay, once again split into two layers: strategy and action. The overall premise of Mount & Blade II doesn't deviate from what we saw previously. The role of the protagonist is to find his place in this complex political situation, subdue defiant nobles, and restore the former glory to the land as a leader of one of six available factions. Fortunatelly for the country, standing on the brink of collapse, the player steps in. Anarchy spread across the land, and trade routes became plagued by bandits, nomads, and mercenaries. The game is set 200 years before the events depicted in Mount & Blade: Warband, in a mighty realm of Calradia, whose king died without having a rightfull heir.

This title was created by the authors of the original game and its many expansions – Turkish studio TaleWorlds. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a full-fledged sequel to a popular game series that combines elements of action, strategy, and RPG.
