Engineers are also the only ones with the lovely ability to fire the game’s artillery. Then there’s the engineers who can build up strategic defenses for your allies to hide behind, or you can craft deadly explosives to flush your enemies out of hiding places. This forces players to move in groups for both protection and an increased chance of hitting your enemies with your inaccurate weaponry.Īside from infantry, you can also play as a member of the cavalry, where you trade off protection and accuracy with speed, maneuverability, and a nasty saber swing that will likely catch a few unsuspecting foot soldiers off guard. One bullet will kill you for an entire round which may take up to 15 minutes. Players who run willy nilly into the line of fire will die early, and depending on the game mode and server, they may have to wait several minutes before respawning for the next match.

If you’re caught in a pickle, you can switch to melee mode in hopes of stabbing your enemies to death with your bayonet.

And we were dead dead dead wrong in our preconceived notions. But after a few nights of playing the game, there is no doubt that this is one addictive little expansion pack. Conceptually, we had a preconceived notion that a multiplayer shooter using muskets would be a horrible idea.īased on the fact that Napoleonic Wars sheds its skin of Warband Vanilla, and only exists as a multiplayer add-on, we wanted to HATE Napoleonic Wars. It’s not that we’re amateur Napoleonic War historians. And yes… we love Mount & Blade: Warband – Napoleonic Wars.
It’s hard to write reviews for games you love.
