Anyone have this DLC for Warband?

I'm personally really enjoying it at the moment, although I personally prefer the organized regimental battles more than the standard permanently up lobbies.

It's kind of like a clan, you form lines, and lead, form squares against cavalry charges and stuff like that, I like the organization, makes it feel more historical.

Anyone else play it?

I have it.
I prefer the silly chaos the community comes up with...
The organised regimental stuff is okay but it's far more fun when you mess about IMO...

^^ I have a thing for trolling people by playing a sniper.

Which isn't so bad till you realise how innacurate rifles can be...

The Lines battles are fun, but I prefer sieges. However, its really annoying that people feel a need to open the gates every other minute for whatever stupid reason. That coupled by a lack of mods make them griefer's paradices. =/

I prefer to troll people by playing the pipes at them... or playing the piano and generally being totally useless.

I may have once or twice hunted down the guy who managed to take the piper class before I could...

Youknow, not in a slightly pychotic way of course or anything.

And playing the piano during a death match is always a good one. Just sitting there, the last one alive, as the enemy tries to hunt you down. ...Only for them to come in the door and stand there confused for a moment before they shoot you (or have a hoe down ...though sadly the latter oft rarely happens).

I'll be honest i'm far too bad at the game to bother trying to win...
I usually just mess about doing something silly...

I'm pretty decent at melee, all those linebattles man. They are probably my favourite bit. If you want to join to give it a go, you're welcome.

I have to say I do like the sieges, but more often than not, it's milling round getting slaughtered until your artillery knocks a hole in the wall.

Napoleonic Wars is pretty much a must-have for anyone who has a thing for Mount & Blade as well as 18th century warfare. It even has a multiplayer mode called "Commander" where each player has a company of bots under their command to give orders to. The Infantry Officer is my favorite class, anyways ... saber + pistol is a fairly neat combo, and the AoE accuracy buff makes you feel useful for the team.
