Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword vs Stronghold 3
Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword
Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword is second in line when it comes to the best Mount & Blade game there is. Granted that the game isn't exactly perfect, it does bring along several exciting new features such as the addition of muskets, pistols and grenades, an enhanced, faction-based single-player game, as well as a list of original multiplayer content including new game modes like Captain Team Deathmatch. You can also customize your soldiers with the weapon and armor of your choice. Unfortunately, like many older games, Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword hasn't really aged well, so you can expect some issues with the game and well, outdated graphics.That said, the game still offer a pretty epic gameplay that can be comparable to Mount & Blade Warband to some extent. However, if you have to choose one of the two, we'd still recommend you to get Warband rather than With Fire & Sword though.
Stronghold 3
Stronghold 3 is an epic real-time strategy game which brings a unique storyline and vital decisions for you to make.You get to enjoy two storylines in the context of a rogue The Wolf and his nemesis The Boy.
