Quite a bit of character and party management, but I don't know yet if any of it is helpful or really required, since a lot of the battles is justiming skills.
At any rate, this was a good purchase for me.

The only thing i didnt like about it was the graphics looked pretty mediocre at best but if the gameplay is good ill consider it.
Awaiting the update from astros before purchase....
Apparently some of the mods out there improve the graphics, taken from http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.p...,122423.0.html

The gameplay is good. After toying with the SP part, I am really intrigued by the game and have been reading on their site to try and figure some of it out. I built my army up to 3 guys, had some loot then went to the merchant zone and saw mega loot there...like a huge war horse and massive lance that cost 100K when my guy barely has enough for a wooden stick. :)
Here's a lovely quote taken directly from their FAQ:
LOL well I am definitely putting some skill points into that!Quote:
Slow and steady Maces, cudgels, clubs, and other hefty bludgeoning weapons offer several advantages in controlling the battlefield. Additionally you can sell incapacitated enemies to Ransom Brokers.
Picked up Warband, played some MP. It's pretty fun!
I'd played Mount & Blade previously but I could never get into it because of the steep learning curve (not of combat, but of the insane single player mode). I think I'm actually going to make an effort to learn how to play this time!
I am gonna hunker down with it monday morning with a giant cup of coffee and have at it.
omg the single player is massive..I agree. I've got my army up to 25 guys and have done a couple of quests. I had to beat down some villagers to get them to pay some taxes, then raided a couple of bandit hideouts. I just got through playing some siege and got the last kill of the round with a spear to some guy's face while climbing the ladder...so thought I'd end tonight on a good note :)Quote:

What the hay is this game?:
Poker Night
Strong bad, heavy, bunny from sam & max and Tycho playing poker? Sounds like a trippy dream I would have.
Posted it in another thread also, but Red Orchestra free from Logitech.
