I was wondering if anyone who is playing the Beta version can share their experience with us? So is the the game improved, and is it worth buying right now?

I have bought every expansion so far but I'm reluctant to buy this one.:please:

But this isn't an expansion as much as a stand alone right? But since it uses the same engine and basse mechanics I suppose I understand why you would call it an expansion.

I'm absolutely buying this one sooner or later, I really like Eador which is a slightly flawed gem, and I want to support these developers.

Yes! Same here. Pre-battle preparation was cumbersome and quite a chore in WB.

Yeah, it's standalone, it just uses the same engine.

Sorry guys to me these are paid expansions, DLCs, and mods as they all use the same engine as Warband just modified a little bit. So my apologizes for the name.

Still no one answered my previous question is it worth a buy?;)

Ill definetively keep check on this but for now I'm enjoying the mod Brytenwalda. The mods for Mount and Blade are truly amazing.

No need to apologize, you're opinion is as valid as mine. Almost. ;)

I tend not to play early access, so I can't answer if it's worth buying, but I will absolutely buy it at some point and if you like M&B and pirates the combination should be great. :)
