Aside from each weapon's quality, its effectiveness is also influenced by the character's skill with that type of weapon, and the speed of the player relative to the target: for example, a javelin thrown while running or riding a horse will be potentially more damaging than a javelin thrown while standing still. Aiming with a ranged weapon is also done by using the mouse.ĭamage is dealt depending on multiple factors. The player has to indicate the direction in which he or she wants to swing by moving the mouse accordingly, unless they have changed the options so that the game automatically chooses it for them. Participants in a battle can be either mounted or on foot. The number of soldiers each party can hold is limited by the 'leadership' skill and the renown of the leader. There are four main areas where battles take place: on the open map when two or more hostile parties meet, in tournaments organized in town arenas, in siege combat where the player is either defending or attacking a fortification, or in settlements after a triggering event (village is infested by bandits, guards catch the player sneaking in, the player is ambushed, villagers rebel while the player is collecting taxes or the player plunders a village). Weapon proficiencies can also be improved over time by inflicting damage on other opponents. By solving quests or defeating opponents the player is awarded experience points, which can be used to improve attributes, skills, and weapon proficiencies to further develop the character. By becoming a vassal, the player is given control over a certain fief, which he or she can manage and collect taxes from.

With increased renown, the player achieves higher standing in the game and may be offered vassalage by the leaders of one of the five factions. The player gains the renown if he or she wins the battle. In Mount & Blade each battle is attributed a renown value, according to the number and power of the members of each party. Upon encountering enemy parties, the player can try to avoid a conflict, or can engage in a battle with them. Traveling to other locations, or interacting with other parties is done by point-and-clicking the desired destination.
