While I was playing feudalism 2, I decided to see if there was a third version.
Sure enough, there was, but it was a trailer ._.
On the comments, one person said it was similar to how Mount and Blade Warband was played.
So I searched it up, and I found it on Steam and Taleworlds.
Description
I tried the demo(Pretty much the full game, but you can't go past lvl 7), and I freaked out that I probably choose one of the worst starts
(Never, ever wander the world in a one-man army without starting the beginner quest so you don't have to pay wages to your troops every week at the start of the game
)
But I loved it anyways, and bought the game.
What I loved about it was how it was all up to me on how I played it. When I bought the purchased version, I played in the desert kingdom and I got ambushed by desert raiders on horses, which I took out by knocking them off their horses, and commanding my newbie troops hijack the horses and take them out.).
The game can be played without you doing anything. Say, if you just walked around in a remote corner where nobody could find you for awhile, things will happen within minutes. From lords getting captured to cities being conquered, or even just a bandit outbreak(I love this last one, you get so much money and items for helping these people get rid of bandits.)
Even better, the map reminds me of the flash game Caravaneer(Caravaneer 2 is in progress
). I loved the map style, and how you had to move your people away, or get surrounded by deserters, mercenaries, etc.
I then tried a new tactic. Instead, I focused on buying as MANY troops as possible. Turns out, that backfired. My Charisma stat determines a lot of things, including how many troops I can have. Instead, my troops morale was low because I couldn't feed them(Yes, you have to feed your armies. So I bought them Grain and Bread, which was the cheapest way to feed a army(Though it might not give them much of a morale boost
.) So I ran out of money, and my armies started deserting.
Late into the game, when I actually became SMART and LUCKY with how I played out, I created my own kingdom. To my surprise, the other kingdoms didn't accept me, and called me "A vassal without a leader". In other words, they treated me like a Rebel.
So I killed them. I killed them ALL, and created my kingdom. I kept them as prisoners, held their family members hostage and..... well, you get the story.
Even better. I CAN PLAY ON MY WINDOWS XP! The game uses DirectX, and has pretty good graphics. I can play it with 150 units all running around trying to kill each other in close range(You might want to set graphics not to max though on slow comps.)

Anyone else try out this game?
(You will cry when you first start if your inexperienced with these types of games. Your armies will be obliberated by mere bandits, and you will have to earn a living by pillaging villages and getting on a Lord's bad side(He will hunt you down with his armies, which are WAY too big for ANYONE to handle at early game.)
