Mount & Blade Warband: Napoleonic Wars

[Monk]

I'm really not looking forward to this; the last game was pretty bad, I honestly took little enjoyment out of the firearms and a mount and blade game in timeframe where they were universal doesn't appeal. I'm going to wait for a demo or the reviews come out before I touch this. I really hope the series goes back to medieval fantasy next game, maybe with a big budget and modern polish, if we're lucky.

I didn't like WFaS that much either, felt like singleplayer was very tedious. There was no way to "get into" the action, since as soon as the bullets started flying i was invariably shot dead on the spot. A lot of time was instead spent doing command and control, and with WB's limited options there that quickly got both tedious and frustrating. Reminded me of the elves in Prophecy of Pendor who will put twenty arrows in your eyes the moment you get in range. Vanilla (or modded) Warband is still my flavor of choice.

How are you planning to overcome these limitations? Any extended tactical options that we can expect? How is the lethality of firearms in comparison to the last DLC? Sounds like you are strictly focusing on Multiplayer from your chosen bulletpoints.
