Mount & Blade Warband - New Version of Adventure in the East.

It's been more than three years since the debut of Adventure in the East, which has just received a new version.

The mod moves the action from the fantasy land of Calradia to the Middle East in the year 634 AD. The authors mainly stuck to history, but in some places they allowed themselves for deviations from realism in order to make the game more enjoyable. In addition to sandbox gameplay, a story campaign with multiple missions is also available.

Adventure in the East remakes virtually all elements of the game. We get a new map and nine factions (the Roman Empire, the Rashidun Caliphs, the Sassanid Empire, the Avar Khaganate, the Bulgarian Khanate, the Alans, the Kingdom of Aksum, the Kingdom of Makuria and the Göktürks). The gameplay mechanics have also been heavily revised, including an expanded swordsmanship system and RPG elements (for example, persuasion now plays a role during conversations).

All this was built on a ton of new audiovisual elements. Of course, in of visuals, this is still the level of Warband, which may not suit everyone after the improvements offered by Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, but Adventure in the East makes up for the outdated visual setting with rich content and an interesting climate of the Middle East in the 7th century

The new version of the mod is numbered 6.0, and it brings new models and textures, numerous bug and gameplay balance fixes, and AI improvements.
