It has a degree of realism that makes defeating your foes very satisfying. You have to rely on actual war tactics and strategy. Charge, hold, follow, the basic kinds of commands.
It plays in third person or first person and you only control your character. The combat is what really keeps me coming back to this game, even after nearly 500 hours. You can even start up your own kingdom and conquer all of Calradia, if you have the patience to do so.
Swadians have the heaviest, armored up cavalry, and the Khergits can go DIE IN A NEVER ENDING FIRE. Vaegirs have the best archers, and Rhodoks have the best crossbowmen. Want to sign up as a mercenary for a faction? Or even become a vassal for a faction and own your own fief? Be my guest.įactions have their own specialties that makes them different from each other. Want to harass caravans and pillage villages? Go ahead, just watch out for the Lords with actual armies.
