4 (in some cases 3) unique troop trees for each faction to represent all social layers in the medieval world. Big, one-time quests, based on historical events. Become a noble, join a team, and fight hard fights for money and renown against teams of other nobles. Most detailed map that you have probably ever seen of medieval Europe. The first version, in an almost finished state, and the second one are not the same mod, as the Warband version is a much more ambitious project, with a map about three times the size of its predecessor, a lot more settlements and characters and new features, like naval travel and warfare and unique quests.
There are currently two versions of the mod: one for the Mount & Blade game (released in 2008) and another one, still a BETA, for the Mount & Blade: Warband expansion (released in 2010).
