I wish it was more fleshed out too, but some day, hopefully soon, it will be. For now it's got probably the single most addictive combat engine ever constructed by human hand, and that's enough to make me want to play it every second that I'm not. I actually had a dream the other night about riding around on a horse and capping motherfuckers with a bow and arrows. I can't say I've ever had a dream about jumping on walking mushrooms, or killing space pirates...

I was sieging a castle yesterday, waiting for the siege tower to get built when all the sudden the king of one of my other enemy nations jumped me like a bitch. Luckily I had a friendly troop nearby who jumped into the fight. The king had about 300 troops with him, I had 53 and my buddy had 70-ish.

Anyways I managed to wipe the king's unit off the face of the earth while only managing to permanently lose 4 f---ing dudes, with the battle size maxed at 72. I damn near shit myself. I LOVE the surgery skill. Between Ymira who has a skill of like 5 and everyone else who adds a few points to it, I barely ever lose dudes anymore.

I haven't seen Dark anything in the game yet. I think I read somewhere in passing that they were taken out of the game. I'm pretty far in (level 30) so if they are still in the game they must be rare as shit cause I've found like everything under the sun.

Yeah, I dunno, they sound fun to have on your team if you can manage to rescue them. I guess (and take this as someone who just started playing in .89*) they could be considered unbalanced. I like the way the battle difficulty is scalable in the options menu from many different facets for those who want a more brutally hard game but just throwing a few uber tough units in there could be seen as a cheap way of making the game more difficult.

Man....

I just took out swadia's only castle. Now there is like 4 armies of 100 around my nord castles. They got really pissed off when that happened.

Also there has been some hidden features discovered.

This shows that they are putting in boats and what not.

Also you can give commands to other officers running around on the map.

Can't wait for the next update.

It is a weird experience playing a game that is not done yet. It just keeps getting better and better as more updates are released.

LOL check out this quote from the M&B forums.

I was reading that thread a few days ago. If that's the kind of jump we can look forward to seeing in the next update I got into this at a great time. Like I said before, the jump from .808 to this was like night and day. I do kind of wish they would refine the features that are already there before they add a ton of new stuff. First and foremost I think they need to fix the faction system. Adding a way to gain positive faction, and enter the towns of your ally's enemy would be a great start.

I dunno what it is about this game, but for some reason no matter how tired I am I can't go to sleep without jumping in to do one big battle. It's like it has taken the place of whacking off before bed...

0.894 is released. This one is actually interesting.

http://forums.taleworlds.net/index.php/topic,27671.0.html

Changelog:

* Fixed bug where zendar and player would get a checkered banner instead of the chosen one.
* Fixed bug where player would get very high amount of experience and gold from a battle if he was alone and had low health.
* AI arhers hold formation now.
* Other fixes to horse archer AI
* Enemy AI will wait for you to come to them only if they have 50% archers.
* Two new splendid pictures by Ganbat for camp and payment day menus.
* Launch menu reports incompatible modules correctly now.
* Some other small fixes...

It will suck going against Crossbowmen now. They kill my horse before I get to them.

I downloaded this, and the update, I was going to play it but then it said something about needed a serial number? I mean why would I pay for a game that isn't close to being finished?

Well Mount & Blade has been upgraded to 0.903.

New things you can do in this game are supposedly:

Take over towns.

Make your own faction with enough renown.

Make villages.

Upgrade villiages.

AI has been improved.

Relationships with other commanders bad or good can be accomplished.

You can get it here: http://www.taleworlds.com/mb_download.html

I am installing now. I will give feed back after playing for a while.
