Warrider was the prerelease name for Mount&Blade. While Warrider was a very early version of Mount&Blade, it did include some content that was removed from later versions of the game, however, not all of it was completely removed, and some hints of the past may still be found deep within the game files. The game featured a totally different map from later versions of Mount&Blade or Warband and also had a couple different troop types, quests, and items. Due to being an early work in progress, it also had unpolished graphics and primitive animations.
