Native Expansion - Warband

Native Expansion in a nutshell is just that - an extension of the original game, Mount & Blade (and now Warband). Whereas many other mods strive to differentiate themselves by radically changing the game or its mechanics, NE is an attempt to take the same awesome gameplay experience which makes M&B so fun and put it on steroids, by adding missing features, fixing native bugs and extending gameplay further. You can liken it to us trying to follow directly in the M&B developer's footsteps. First and foremost, our goal is for us and others to have fun. After that, our goal is to provide a rich gameplay experience that doesn't change what you'd expect from M&B, only makes it better. It's as simple as that. We're Native, but better. We're Warband, but better. We stand on the shoulders of giants and reach just a little bit higher.This feature list is quite long, and thus has been broken down into many different categories. We often attempt, whenever possible, to provide the player with the ability to turn a feature on or off in the camp menu, in the event they want to revert to the Native style play. The full feature list would be hard to even document, so here are some of the highlights. At the bottom of the highlights is a large list of many features, large or small.
