This is handy if you’re not clear on the game rules, want to change faction or feel like reassigning controls. You can also hit ESC to bring up your options. Once you are in game you can hit TAB to bring up the scoreboard and see how you’re performing. They’re basically split into cavalry, infantry and archer. The choices available to you are class based and will depend on the type of soldier you choose to be.

The default amount is 1,000 and you can kit yourself out with some weaponry and armour. You’ll then be provided with some gold to buy your gear. Once you actually join a game you’ll select a faction and a soldier type. Obviously the lower the ping, the better for you. If you hover your mouse over an option you’ll see a full range of details about the rules on that server. Join a Game – If you choose to join an existing server you’ll be presented with a list and you can choose the mode you want to play and double click to join one. If you are the host you can also access this screen in game by hitting ESC and choosing the Administrator Panel. You can make it private with a password, you can set the number of players, number of bots, decide on the factions, turn off friendly fire for melee or ranged separately, decide on the spectator camera, block mechanic, speed, time limit, targets for victory, equipment gold at start and earned through combat, whether to allow various types of polls and how they work, whether to allow private banners, respawn periods (if applicable), and finally whether to force minimum armor.

Host a Game – Developer TaleWorlds has provided you with all the options you could want in terms of setting up a server.
