The latest version of the awesome cavalry/siege sim Mount and Blade has been released, offering a slew of improvements, including new character models and animations, new towns and cities, new quests (with rehauled dialogue and descriptions), better AI, and more video options. The developers are claiming that v0.950 contains most of the features they want to add for v1.0, which will be published by Paradox Interactive later this year.

For a more complete list of changes (which is being compiled by players), click here. For more gorgeous screenshots, click here!

As before, you can still buy and play the game now for $25, which will also grant you access to the $39 full version when it comes out.

    I hated this game. Yet I’m onboard with all the other popular favourites in the indie games world. Is there something wrong with me?

    Yes.

    My character’s arms and weapons are red with the blood of my foes.

    That depends on when you played it Benzido. If it was more than a year ago I suggest you see how much has been changed and added.

    Unfortunately for me it seems like the system requirements go up every new version, the load times kill my crappy old PC now, even if I can turn the rest of the graphics down enough that it plays fine when I’m actually done loading things.

    Quite an awesome game in my opinion. There is no other as far as I know that quite captures that feeling of mounted combat. Its also a decent RPG now as well, with character development, faction and individual relationships, diverse parties and NPCs and terretorial wars (as in full campaigns occasionly mounted by kings).

    The last sentence is kind of easy to misunderstand

  8. Renton said about 18 hours later:

    Weird, their homepage says the latest version is 0.903

  9. gulo gulo said about 19 hours later:

    Okay so i love this version and all but I’m holding my breath for the “no more freakishly shiny new weapon models” patch

  10. Kemo said about 19 hours later:

    If they could optimize the performance - i’d buy it. Right now - every version adds more features, and subsequently requires more and more resourses, so it may as well not exist for me.

    This version actually runs faster on my machine than .905.
