How does this compare to a game like Chivalry or Mordhau?

A followup, improved version of the original game, Mount&Blade: Warband, was released on March 29th, 2010. Mount&Blade was completed September 2008. Development started in 2004 as a hobby, but e-sales of an UNFINISHED GAME propelled development on, making it the progenitor for the Early Access model. It started as a husband and wife venture to make a fantastically ambitious, open ended role playing unit commander third person realistic medieval combat simulator. TaleWorlds Entertainment is a game development studio in Ankara, Turkey, with over 100 employees.

Bannerlord is releasing a DAY EARLY (March 30th, 2020), 10% off for everyone living in this cursed pandemic hellworld till April 13th (by which time we should all be dead), and an additional 10% off for anyone with a CD Key for M&B:Warband (unknown if it works for other TaleWorlds M&B products).
