Mount and Blade with Fire & Sword does not seem to give the Surface Pro too much trouble. The FPS do bounce all over the map, but the good news is that even though they went as low as 5, they stay there for less that a second so you don't really notice them. You could always try to match the Game Resolution on the Desktop and see if that gains a few more FPS and to possibly fix the issue I am having with the mouse cursor. Also note that I am playing it will many settings on high, and with a high resolution so you have a lot of room to lower setting or change the resolution to make it play better if you like. Unlike the two previous ones, I was unable to find a resolution that did not have a hidden mouse, and although it was a pain to navigate the game itself played very good, maybe matching the desktop resolution to the game resolution will fix that, if it does, please let us know. Even with the hidden cursor, because the game actually played great, I will give this one a SurfaceProGaming Certification :).
