Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword is the 2011 standalone spin-off by Sich Studio and TaleWorlds that moves the series to 17th-century Eastern Europe and adds muskets, pistols and grenades to lance-and-sabre combat. These are the default keyboard and mouse controls from Paradox's official manual, including the single F-key battle orders this game uses in place of Warband's two-step menus.
