Age of Empires II is set from the Dark Ages to the Renaissance and includes a multitude of civilizations to choose from ranging from the Mayans to the Vikings to the Byzantines. The second and arguably most popular of the Age of Empires trilogy. Sieges, both defending against and partaking in will be a prominent feature in Mount & Blade 2: Banerlord For example you can both engage in diplomacy forging treaties with other nations in this war ravaged land and modify and strengthen our personal weapons. The game seems to offer a mix between actions effecting just the player and the world around him. In addition, an organic economy is promised as well, with the price of goods fluctuating naturally with supply and demand changing due to events in-game. Build both defenses for your castle and the siege engines to break the enemy’s.
This time a major focus of the game is not individual battles between soldiers but taking part in sieges, both defending against them and participating if not leading them as an individual soldier. The upcoming Mount & Blade 2 : Bannerlord seeks to take the smattering of strategy elements existing in the original game and Warband, like the diplomatic marriages and maintaining your own feudal domain, and bring them to the forefront of the game. A prequel to the cult classic medieval RPG, Mount and Blade and its expansion: Warband.
