Mount & Blade: Fire & Sword may be trying to rack up the ampersands.
It's also a fascinating sandbox game using Mount & Blade to portray mid-17thc Eastern Europe. The age of pike & shot, of Winged Hussars ... and it's pretty fun.
Of course my band of 16 or so guys keeps getting zapped by units of 30-40 Deserters. Ow. ow ow ow!
And bandits used to toss the occasional rock. Ha! I dream of rocks now. A pistol will absolutely wreck your day. Big time. There don't seem to be tournaments, or any of that medieval jazz. Just plots, armies, intrigues, and stuff.
Certainly worth a look if M&B is your thing.
Also? The diet is dead. I ordered Chinese from Charlie the Unicorn's favourite place. Daaay-umn. They still bring too much food. Dinner for one feeds three. I have more left-overs than I have days left in the week!
