Key new features include:
Introduces firearms and grenades

Oh man, this is freaking awesome. I loved Warband. I am going to love this.

Doktor John! I need to play Warband still

Warband is loads of fun. Multiplayer is great, but the single player is like chess but more interactive. Games can last as long as 200 hours+

I have the original M&B. I've seen all this new advertising for the new versions/expansions, I'm hoping that my key will work.

I had to quit after the bugs got to me, but as I understand it most of them have been worked out. Nothing worse than killing 500+ to take a city and then it bugs out, you can't claim it, and the faction comes and sieges you with 2000+ and takes you hostage.
