The Mount & Blade Website looks to generate enthusiasm for the upcoming retail release of Mount & Blade, TaleWorlds Entertainment's medieval action/RPG by outlining how the game's combat system stands out from the competition. They quote lead programmer Armagan Yavuz saying: "What separates Mount & Blade from other action RPG’s is that that most RPG’s have more statistics-based combat, while we use skill-based combat." He goes on to say: "Even though the damage you do is influenced by the statistics of your character and his weapon, it is also based on physics formulas: the energy, speed and impact angle of the weapon. For example, if you are rapidly approaching your enemy while you’re mounted on a fast-moving horse, the damage will be much greater since the momentum of your horse is added to the speed of your weapon's swing."
