Topic: 1866 mod is open beta. Kevin pay attention. Posted: 11-17-2009 at 6:55pm |
The Mount and Blade mod, 1866, has been released to open beta. This mod is an old west themed mod with the factions of the US, Mexico, and Native Americans vying for control of the West.
I've spent about an hour with it and there is much to enjoy here, especially since it is free if you already own M&B. The fighting with pistols, revolvers, shotguns, and long rifles adds a new twist on an already fun game engine. The mod has been in development for a couple of years. There are bugs. It is by no means complete, but if you like the M&B engine and its open, write your own story gameplay you should give this a whirl. Kevin, this may be the western RPG you have been craving. http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,83776.0.html |

OOh - tell me more, Ted!
I've heard a little about M&B before. Is it retail, or download? Do you know how much it costs? I've heard good things. Keep the impressions coming, please! I'm very interested in this. I'm definitely going to check it out!
Thanks, Ted!

Mount and Blade is both retail and download, although retail can be very tough to find.
Steam has it and you can also get it direct from Taleworlds, the publisher. In fact I think you can d/l the whole game and play to level six as a free demo. Then buy it if you like it. It's still $30 even after all this time, but the demo will give you and excellent idea of the game. It's full featured and just level limited. http://www.taleworlds.com/mb_download.html |

Kevin if you use Steam (which I do and think it is great) they are having a huge holiday sale. LOTS of cheap stuff. Mount and Blade is 14.99 during the sale.
