To compensate, horsemen AI is greatly improved.

Horses now have a linear physical presence that makes it impossible to turn on the spot if objects are in the way.

Added chamber blocking-attacking at the right time in the right direction will parry an incoming attack and deliver an attack.

Added automatic shield blocking of some missiles even when shield is not explicitly held up.

Added a new couched lance mechanic, most importantly being time-limited couches.

This drops a player block, will damage through enemy blocks, and adds blunt damage.

New character fighting mechanics and animations-added the ability to kick.

New character horseback swordplay mechanics-added the ability to change the side of a held slash.

New character movement and swordplay animations.

The only deviation from this are player made factions, where its vassals will retain the old title of Lord. The vassals of the default kingdoms no longer have the title of Lord, and their titles change depending on the faction they belong to. You can also properly create your own kingdom and rule over vassals as can any other kingdom's leader.

The Overland map has been completely rearranged to accommodate the new faction. Combining a sophisticated, dynamic game world and intense medieval sword fighting action.The expansion includes a new desert-dwelling faction named the Sarranid Sultanate. And yet some, because they are the very heroes who will step forward to stop that. Some because they are so bitter and hateful that they are willing to unleash doom on earth.

Some because they are looking for thrill and excitement, some because they are desperate and know no other way. Men ride to war, for one or other reason. War has come down on Calradia and war attracts its own bunch of misfits. And you will fight epic battles where arrows cut the air with deadly hisses, axes, and swords hack with fury, and horses and men clash into a violent melee. You will hunt down your enemies following the tracks they leave behind. In a land torn by constant danger, raids, and skirmishes, you will raise and lead your own war band, commanding dozens of hardened soldiers. Mount & Blade has you venturing through a world filled with daring enemies as well as friendly groups that will come to your aid or need yours.
