Played it for a while but personally, in a game like this, I'd like more than just battle after battle.

well, i don't know how about this sequel, but my friends played the first mount and blade and when you play the real campaign (not just custom battle) it's much more than just battle after a battle. you get quests, seek lords, trade things, gain reputation, etc, etc

Yes, sure.

Quests = ocassionally do something cool for your king like meet a spy or track a traitor down (5%) OR deliver a message to a lord (45%) OR get them to pay their loan to another lord (45%) OR stop 2 kingdoms from fighting eachother (5%).

Reputation = you kill hundreds of soldiers YOURSELF and you don't get much reputation because you had a (useless) army backing you up.

Trade things = boooooring and you rarely get to find decent equipment IMHO. Last time I played the entire game with a great two hander and full (battered) plate armor [cause it was a million times cheaper and barely any weaker).

Finding lords = NIGHTMARE.

Marching to war against another kingdom with your kingdom's army = NIGHTMARE ON SQUARE BECAUSE THE AI IS DUMB.

That's just how I felt....
