Mount and Blade
Reacquaint yourself with the land.

June 27, 2008 - Paradox Interactive welcomes you to Calradia, a medieval world stained by war, yet bristling with opportunities for the brave and the cunning. Step forward into the realm of Mount and Blade.

Populated by lords and vassals who rule over the peasantry. Where knights and mercenaries fight side by side, or against each other. A land filled with all manner of threats, from roving bands of bandits to parties of war-deserters. Where merchants trade their wares and slavers sell on the spoils of war. Grab the reins of your mount and unsheathe your blade, prepare to ride out to a land of adventure.

Key Features:
-Free-form sandbox gameplay. Trade, serve, or even joust. Go anywhere, do anything in a world thriving with hundreds of locations.
-Distinctive horseback combat. Mount up and attack your foes with swords, lances or arrows.
-Highly advanced and intuitive sword-fighting system.
-Be a lonesome adventurer, conniving merchant, or a commander of armies.
-Interact with hundreds of characters; hire mercenaries to build a private army, accept quests to assassinate troublemakers, or boost your reputation by buying a round of beer at the local tavern.

Quite small - just something to interest new players, or get older ones playing again, I guess.
