Mount and Blade Series V2: Chamber n' Sidestep

[ImperialGuard]

If this is Mount and Blade 2, the engine expansion might be for the inevitable big expansion, ie: Warband 2.

[QUOTE=ClarkWasHere;46096931]Ease of usability for modders is the same as ease of usability for developers. They're very similar.

I'm guessing their putting in the work on the engine to license it.[/QUOTE]

Extremely early to even make an assumption like that. IMO very little to suggest it.

[troots]

wow this is actually hella impressive

if they promise to, at the very least, keep the same level of moddability, it might be a solid pre-order

The whole video was about how they're making it even easier for mods.

[troots]

my headset's broken tho, are they actually talking about modding, or is it an assumption taken from them showcasing their dev tools?

They talk about modding.

I wonder if the huge map they showed was for the campaign strategy map or for a PvP/PvE area.

I like to dream taht you can seamlessly zoom in to a full detail level from the over head, so the game is essentially free-roam and the fast travel is basically you zooming out and speed increasing.

I uh, really doubt that.

[QUOTE=sambopukka;46099051]I wonder if the huge map they showed was for the campaign strategy map or for a PvP/PvE area.[/QUOTE]

Well, that map's dimensions were stated (225 km^2).

They wouldn't say the actual dimensions for the strategy map because if you look at the strategy map, it isn't 1:1 scaled in Warband.

Assuming they use the same Strategy Map to Battle Area technique they used for Warband, map sizes for battles will have up to 225 km^2 size (15 km by 15 km)!

[DanRatherman]

Yeh, I'm not sure what that map size says about the nature of the campaign. 15x15 km is more on the lines of an entire medieval province, not a battlefield of a few 100 soldiers.

Maybe rather than a giant overworld map at smaller scale you ride between giant 15x15 KM zones in real time with your troops marching behind you? :v:

Well hopefully it means the new engine will handle bigger maps with more details better, whenever I try to play on persistent worlds mod the large maps cause my frame rate to drop so much :v:

I am curious to see how sieges will be. I wonder if there will be more variety to castle-taking than "Walk up ladder and hope you aren't eviscerated"

[Sharker]

Do factions relations ever go back to neutral on their own? I keep getting attacked by armies of like 100 dudes while I only have 30 or less and I'm trying to mind my own business. I'd really rather not have to start over now.

I'm almost positive they addressed that in a dev-blog in the past, and they stated they were going to be much more dynamic.

I'm really excited for this game, but I feel like there's still a long way to go before it gets released.

Well at least we know they've completed their engine with tools, so it's mostly up to designers now.

I just hope the new engine handles physics much better, could mean there'd a be a lot more possibilities with the siege mode.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;46115327]heres to hoping the ui frontend is a little more moddable, the default/only ui for warband is so ugly and clunky, especially with the various mods with tons of options[/QUOTE]

Patch, 13Mb !

Also, what about this new dlc everybody is talking about ?

[pip12345]

NW servers seemed to have gone down after the patch, everyone is getting invalid serial messages when they try to join a server.

Warband's steamdb has been updated. [url]https://steamdb.info/app/48700/history/[/url]
Seems like the next DLC's name is going to be Viking Conquest.

Sweet dickens, I wonder if it's true that the Brytenwalda team are helping to develop the DLC ;O

Man, are there any servers in NW that are in NA that are also populated?

All the ones I can find have special game-modes that I don't want to play, and all the siege servers are located in EU, which means unplayable pings out the ass.

could this be the vikingr singleplayer we were always hoping for?

[nickster50]

Gotta love that they are still making dlc for older games.

And here are the screenshots for the DLC.
