With Fire and Sword- Mount & Blade Warband Mod

[ensis1410]

With Fire and Sword
multiplayer


"1647 was a strange year in which signs on earth and the sky seemed to announce disasters and unusual events. Contemporary chroniclers recall the huge numbers of locusts swarming from the Wild Fields and destroying crops and grass, which forecast Tartar raids. There was a grand eclipse of the sun in the summer and shortly after, a comet appeared in the sky..."


The mod takes place in XVII century, in the time, that is known in the history of Poland as The Deluge. In 1648 Bohdan Khmelnytsky leads cossack rebellion that turns into a Ukrainian war of liberation from Poland - Zaporozhian Cossacks, allied with the Crimean Tatars, fight against the armies of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Soon powerfull neighbors of Poland - Russia and Sweden - sense an opportunity and attack the weakened Commonwealth, invading it's lands.

It is a time of great war and you'll have to choose which side you're on. Will you charge to battle as one of the powerfull and fearsome winged hussars? Or maybe you'll join the brave zaporozhian Cossacks in their rebellion? Or... Whatever side and role you'll choose there will be great challenges awaiting you. You must use advanced tactics to achieve victory. You must show your bravery and honor. You must fight your enemies... with fire and sword.

Important note!!! Since version 0.4 mod will require WSE (Warband Script Enchancer ) on the server side. That means also hosting a game to play with bots. Of course you can launch the mod without WSE, but be prepared that you'll get script errors when using some weapons, like cannons or blunderbusses.

You don't need WSE if you're only connecting to a dedicated server! WSE is needed only when hosting a game or setting up dedicated server.



Mod is running 24/7 on 1_WFaS_Tawerna server hosted by mountblade.info

Have fun playing and please report any bugs you'll find. Thanks.
