Paradox has revealed developer Taleworlds has free DLC for action-RPG Mount & Blade: Warband, which adds 3 new maps and achievements. It's completely free for owners of the game. The achievements, like 'Mace in yer face!', are exclusive to Steam users. The DLC is out now to get.
TaleWorlds has released the next game in the Mount & Blade series, With Fire and Sword. This standalone expansion takes place in 17th century Eastern Europe, and is based on the novel of the same name by Henryk Sienkiewicz.
Fredrik Wester, Paradox Interactive CEO, has claimed it a "release" to not be reliant on retailer sales for their games, which are now "like a bonus". He notes we "don't really need" retail chains any more, which have "not been good" for the industry - stifling creativity. It's "really relieving" to speak about it.
Developer Flying Squirrel Entertainment has announced that they will be officially releasing a fan-made mod for their strategy title Mount & Blade: Warband.

The game also includes a "Commander Battles" mode in which the player is put in charge of a squad of bots.

A sampler is on offer from October 1st to the 4th.
