Life is cheap in Mount & Blade: Warband, and falling to an enemy costs nothing more than five seconds and a few moments of scorn from your teammates. This lack of consequence invites experimentation with the many class types, weapons and items available. All players begin with a pot of cash to buy specialist weaponry and equipment, and gaining kills or scoring points will earn you more rewards for the next round. What you spend your winnings on however, is a very tough decision to make, as once the enemy has learnt your tactics; they too will be spending their accrued cash strengthening their assault.

Pre-ordering games is a silly thing to do, and we made a point of noting that every time we cover some sort of pre-order scheme. Usually, we add that you can do whatever you like with your time and money, but waiting for reviews is wise.
