mount and blade fire and sword persuasion

There are two versions lying around - one using the original M&B engine and one using Warband engine. This expansion was made by some Ukrainian game studio, and has already been released in several countries quite some time ago.

Has anyone found any actual gameplay footage of this 'standalone expansion'? There's something fishy about it. Unless I forget about history and just use modern tactics anyway (like what is seen almost every time a town map is selected in a Warband battle server the game turns into counter strike).Įdit: Given, the 17th isn't quite as bad as what follows, but still less interesting than the 9th-15th. But a realistic 17th century setting would, like a realistic WW1 setting, just be boring to play I imagine. If it's sword and spear fighting, player skill does matter, and if it's squad-level tactics with suppressive fire and flanking maneuvers, player skill too matters. 'cause if you do it realistic, player skill will hardly matter if you're just shooting muskets from formations. Too bad we can't have the formations and all that jazz in a medieval or at least late medieval setting where firearms may exist, but would not totally have replaced interesting combat. Renaissance, ancient rome/greece/egypt, asian settings and sci fi settings are not all bad, but I don't really like warefare in those. I like either medieval/fantasy settings or modern settings as far as warfare goes.

I don't really like the time period, military-wise.
