I just wanted to share this for those of you wanting ASoIaF gaming. This guy at Escapist Magazine feels the same way in his notice about the game before relase (scroll down just a little). That was one of the first things I thought about when I first discovered it. There are tourneys, units typical for the setting, sieges.well, I can go on. You can play solo but also rise in the favour of a lord and/or king, join that faction and war the others, control armies, conquer castles, court ladies, raze and plunder and so on. Just like in Total War you've got the overview map with castles, cities, settlements and different regions, the lords, kings, companions, ladies, armies, fighting factions and big battles and so on. Imagine playing Total War but playing one single unit with great fighting controls (excellent, really).

It takes place in an open sandbox world and the overview map and possibility to explore the world doing pretty much anything is very similar to Pirates. It's an RPG with character traits and with you controlling one single unit, but also an RTS as there can be battles with hundreds of units. Think Pirates meets Oblivion and Total War, kind of. The latest verion (expansion) is called Warband, introducing multiplayer in addition to tons of other improvements. Mount & Blade started out as an indie game developed by Tale Wolds ( They've been working on the game for years and it has grown immensly in popularity. Screenshots and videos: (there'll be an English version as well as Russian). I loved the Westeros Total War mod and spent hours with it, but Mount & Blade is just a more suiting game than for ASoIaF than Total War. In my opinion this is easily the most interesting ASoIaF mod so far. Can't mod myself but as a big fan of the books and the game Warband I thought I'd help them out somehow.Ĭheck it out at. Posting this here on behalf of the team behind the ASoIaF mod for the PC game Mount & Blade Warband.
