Characters are customised by purchasing the equipment available to their selected faction, with better equipment purchased after earning denars (the game's currency) in the multiplayer matches.
All players are provided with a balanced 'template' character (which can be altered for each server) based on three general types of pre-modern age military: Archery, Cavalry, and Infantry. Multiplayer matches cater for up to 200 players, split into two teams based on the factions selected. The new multiplayer mode removes all of the RPG and map elements from the single-player mode, instead focusing on direct combat. The game contains slightly improved graphics, along with new or altered animations in combat. The introduction of political options allows players to influence lords and marry ladies, and it is possible for an unaligned player to capture a town or castle and start their own faction. The main changes to the game were the inclusion of multiplayer capability, the introduction of a sixth faction, Sarranid Sultanate, and the reorganisation of the overworld map.
