Explore and Conquer: How to Play

The biggest changes in Warband were adding multiplayer mode. A new sixth faction, the Sarranid Sultanate, was also added. The game map was changed too. Players gained new political options.

The main goal is for one faction to control the entire map.

Battle Friends: Multiplayer Mode
