Representations of parties on the map increase in number of men to help give a visual indication of how large it is. The world map is textured well and pretty detailed with better water graphics. Seeing past the seemingly random jumble of vowels and consonants, you will find that Viking Conquest looks really nice, or at least a lot nicer than the vanilla version. Or perhapsВ you can and IвЂ™m just dyslexic with historical names and sometimes history is just silly like that anyway. The following screen is the opening screen you see when you start a new adventure, explaining to you the setting in perfectly legible English.Д«ut perhaps you arenвЂ™t fazed with being a vassal, or lord, of people whose names you cannot remember or pronounce, and watching over lands and towns whose names you also canвЂ™t pronounce. In fact if you were just reading about theВ new features, you would probably think itвЂ™s all pretty swell. A whole new world, one that is historical and real, with a whole new story aspect to play through that helps you learn and explore the admittedly less diverse, but interesting world.

Gameplay has been further expanded to allow ship travel and all the goodies that come off of that. The visuals are heads and shoulders better. If the original WarbandвЂ™s jump was equal to your highschool varsity championвЂ™s long jump, Viking Conquest is Mike PowellвЂ™s. The new features that the Viking Conquest DLC brings just completely blows it out of the water. It was a very impressive jump with a lot of new features that made the game all that much more fun and enjoyable. Then came Warband in 2010 where all the RPG-esque stuff got expanded to the point where you could marry ladies and create your very own kingdom.

Some fun, extra side RPG-esque stuff was the cherry on the top.

The Mount & Blade series first hit the scene back in 2008 and while it wasnвЂ™t particularly visually appealing, the kind of gameplay it brought to the table wowed the critics with itsВ open-world sandbox that allowed you to head your own group of men, which could number up to the hundreds, and fight together with them on the battlefields as your own playable character.
