Paradox Interactive has launched the first of two tutorial series for their recently released medieval combat sequel Mount & Blade: Warband. The tutorial series gives viewers a quick look into the features and gameplay options offered in the game. This first video walks gamers through their start in Calradia. Later videos will introduce them to the advanced combat maneuvers that will bring them victory in Warband‘s multiplayer.

“Mount & Blade: Warband is not your easy combat, cookie cutter game, it requires skill and dedication but you’ll get richly rewarded for your efforts,” said Paradox Producer, Mattias Lilja. “I still get my butt kicked every single time I get on the servers so this tutorial series might mean I could actually get ahead.”
