Ten factions compete for power in the campaign, including the Peloponnesian League, the Delian League, the Cretan City-States, Achean City-States, Aetolian City-States, Thessaly, Epirus, Macedonia, Thrace, and the Persian Satrapies. The mod introduces hundreds of new items, weapons, and armors. Sparta features a big custom map of the Peloponnese and parts of modern Turkey, with a working seasonal weather system, unique locales, and countless other features.
Just as the ancient Greeks did, you’ll have to fight with a spear and shield – as zedpaolo points out, swords weren’t effective in phalanx formations, and were only drawn once a spear had been lost or broken. Choosing a faction in Mount and Blade Warband can be difficult, hopefully this video can help you decide what faction is right for you.Pros and Cons of each. You can’t train your characters to achieve veterancy instead, heroes and soldiers all have to fight battles to increase their ranks and abilities. Modder zedpaolo says the Sparta mod is for veteran players of Mount & Blade, and has stripped difficulty options out of the game so you have to play Sparta the way it was intended. At least that’s the case in Sparta, a mod for Mount & Blade: Warband, that offers a trip to the fractured Greece of 431 BC and an uncompromising challenge to go along with it.
If you’re going to be an ancient Greek warrior, you’re going to have to learn to fight with a spear.
