In Warband there is an all new political system which allows you to engage in political intrigue, build up your right to rule, marry, create vassals and persuade lords to defect. It was technically possible to create your own rebel kingdom in the original Mount & Blade but it was never really intended to be played that way.
You can now carve out your own kingdom and make your companions into vassals by granting them lands. One of the most exciting new developments in Mount & Blade: Warband is the ability to strike out on your own. Now it is time to turn our eyes towards the throne. So far we have looked at the multiplayer side of the game and discussed weaponry, armour and horses.
