God bless whoever wroe this article! I've always loved that game, and I think that it deserves more support from the gaming community, just like all good Indie games.
I have been with Mount and Blade since about 0.78 ish, and it's definitely one of my favourite games, I have racked up more hours on various mods than both oblivion and fallout 3 combined, and I still go back for more.
Terribly disturbing!Dechef said:
But the article is a nice intro to a game that I've heard a bit about, but clearly not ENOUGH. Must... upgrade... CPU unit...
I bumped into Mount and Blade some time ago..
It is a brilliant idea
A game that is developed through the players
It also has a fairly clear goal: To simulate mount combat as best as possible.
I tried the demo at one point, and instantly thought the game, although far from complete, was ambitious and had much potential
I put it aside though for a while. Now I'm glad to hear that the game is still moving along strong.
Who knows, maybe it will set a precedent for a new method of development
Good article.. amusing final words..... I think...

I bought into the Beta when it was about $12 and change (the version number escapes me). Since then, I've been overjoyed by the community that supports Mount & Blade and overwhelmed by the number of mods that cropped up in response to this game, even though it was an indie game with less than major publicity. The game necessitated an extra hard-drive, solely because there were so many modifications to download and install. Perhaps this is why their joining with Paradox seems to fit so well, as that is a publisher which encourages people to mod their games in much the same way TaleWorlds does.
Thanks for your article, which chronicles what I think is the best story that comes out of M&B, the modding community. Gamers haven't seen this kind of response to a game since Half-Life (and HL2) were put out. I think it is the mark of truly great games that they not only entertain, but also inspire people to improve those games by adding and altering them, and by allowing people to do so.

Mount and Blade Native (unmoded) sucked up many days of my life. Now the 100 years war mod is doing the same. I like how the article braught up the pay for beta funding moddle they used. I hope it catches on with other development houses. I think it would inproove developer-consumer relations immesurabley.
Finally, some recognition for this masterpiece!
I picked it up around version 0.707 (something like that :S) and I haven't been able to put it down since. It easily stands up to "bigger, better" games like Oblivion and Neverwinter Nights. The flexibility of the game is indeed it's greatest aspect, and I can't recommend Mount and Blade enough!

Amazing game. I don't think it's even close to having the best moding community for a game (far, far from it) but there are still some great mods and the game itself is a huge moding opportunity. Also the link to the mod Calradia at War (nice mod) is an older version of the mod compatible for an old version of M&B, so if your interested, make sure you grab the newest version.
M&B is my favorite game out there at the moment. I've been looking around at the mod community and have sincere hopes for The Castle Black team. The Song of Ice and Fire are some of my favorite fantasy books, and I couldn't think of a better game to represent it than M&B.
It's been stated over and over that they have no plans for a multi-player version, but I sure want one.
