BANNERLORD
>Blog Post 76
How high will they get before it's cancelled or released?
soon..
They're just waiting for PCs to get good enough
FUCKING WHEN?
just face it its never going to get released
NEVER
EVER
Q4 2019 release lads, it's happenings
They wont be at E3 but will be at Gamescon. Release date will be announced for not long after that.
>Q4 2019 release lads
What's going on in this image?
The sims
>dfw you will never live in Stathymos surrounded by that stunning scenery
scene editor. it will be part of the modders toolpack.
Is it just map making or is there some kind of automated generation going on?
>people have been waiting 10+ years for a texture repack
STop making threads I can't handle hearing about this game so much and knowing I will never ever get to play it
I actually can't fucking believe it Bros. Bannerlord took so long to come out that I actually had to grow up in that time and won't be able to enjoy it. I was legitimately waiting for a release date to be an ounce when I was a NEET with over 1500 hours in warband......5 fucking years ago. It's developed so fucking long that I actually had to start a career and found a girl and knocked her up in that time. They took so fucking long I'll have a child before it's released and won't ever have the time to play it. I waited for a decade for this game to come out, it was going to be MY GAME, and they took so fucking long my time passed. Enjoy it for me Bros I had to get off the ride.
I'm waiting for porn mods/dickplomacy, mods in general and family/dynasty mechanics.
>You will never be as big of a disappointment as Bannerlord.
Feelsgoodman
And to think some anons probably died before being able to play this you fucking turk roaches.
Can't wait to play it in 2030
Lol get cucked that's what you deserve for forfeiting wizardhood normalfag. I'll be be building a medieval dynasty in Bannerlord while you can trim your girl to be prime fuck meat for other guys in your free time.
That's a shame, I thought you could build and improve captured towns.
They didn't have enough time to code that in. Maybe in a dlc.
Not that user, but i'm pretty sure thats a feature they spoke about
>They didn't have enough time
Why must you lie?
things that never happened
You can, settlements can be upgraded. However the upgrade is automated (the designer does it in the scene editor), the player doesn't get to create the layouts themselves for obvious balance reasons.
steamcommunity.com
you guys could be playing the game but most of you suck at mount and blade
>settlements can be upgraded
Will it make a difference though?You can upgrade settlements/castles in Warband but it was rather poorly done.
it's going to look like shit by the time it comes out just like warband
map making
>being a graphics whore
The upgrades this time are notable physical changes that impact siege gameplay, so yes
it will release and it's gonna be GLORIOUS!!!!!!!!!!
NEVER
FUCKING
EVER
HOLY SHIT
I doubt keys means they can play it right away mate.
Bannerlord will be released when Turkey becomes a democracy.
it happened to me. i even skipped warband because i thought it would make more sense to just wait for bannerlord. i have gotten married and had two kids since then.
m&b faggots ket. i ll personally vote for erdomeme from now on.
t. turk who lives 5 minutes from talewords hq
Honest question to all of you waiting for Bannerlord. What will it do that you cannot already get with mods?
imagine if it means you can play it earlier!!!
Infrared vision going by the title of their latest blog.
Have actual sieges
>actual sieges
>dynasty system
are the 2 main things
>lords have to play by the same rules as the player, no more lords pulling troops out of their asses if they don't have money
>better crimes possibilities
>hopefully, better AI
those are off the top of my head
what a waste of time digits
I'm working part time at the moment, but if this thing drops any later than at best September 2020 I won't ever have time to play it. September 2020 gives me a few months at least before I will be in full careermode.
god i want it so bad. I can't even play normal mountain blade anymore because of how much I want bannerlord.
Same here. Graduating June 2020, rip games then
So do they have actual system requirements up yet because I'm not buying that you can run the minimum with an intel i3 and fucking integrated graphics?
>being a wagie
>Northern Empire
>Southern Empire
>Western Empire
But Y tho?
Literal economic/dynasty/empire simulation on top of more refined troop system, combat physics, sieges, bigger battles, better graphics and a lot more fleshed out diverse playstyles.
>work two days a week at a palaeo museum for more than the dole
I'm basically being paid for a hobby. The only reason I'll be in career mode in 2020 is so I can upskill because I enjoy my work.
do you doubt the turkish code magic, infidel?
>work two days a week
you lucky bastard, my dad apparently gonna force me to be a wagecuck because he's gonna retire next year and need a new source of income
because its a byzantine themed
BUT WHERE ARE THE FARMS???
underground
It used to be one big empire which fractured, all claiming to be the true inheritor
in the villages surrounding
I've never seen a graphical mod take this long to come out without getting totally abandoned.
>implying it's not an entirely new engine with every single gameplay aspect being greatly expanded on and totally new features introduced
Pillaged and burned to the ground.
friendly reminder that never ever ever
Do you even play M&B? Do you know how restricted modding is? Mods are either really barebones, or are broken as fuck jank. The supposed modding support for Bannerlord alone is a reason to be excited for it.
Lmao, fuck these games releasing before I even find the time to play the original. And fuck my backlog.
2050
bannerlord is all you need and it won't release any time soon.
next year after gamescom is the earliest expected time.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Reminder to remove Rhodoks from the premise at every opportunity
I just hope they don't drop all the comfy artwork in favor of better graphic.
already dropped m8
NEVER
EVER
>imagine actually playing anything other than Rhodoks
When you think about it it's literally just Warband with convenience mods and better graphics. We've been waiting so long that I'm not that excited to play anymore. In fact I'd rather they finish the Warsword mod so I can play it without crashing, and if Bannerlord comes out I'll just be thinking how much I'll want to play Warband mods on it.
same shit but in a slightly less clunky engine, better graphics and with the userbase restored to glory.
what more do you want?
also, the game is also made for consoles, so can we safely assume that its once again console development thats holding this shit back?
this guy knows whats up
I hope their are detailed castle interiors. I want sneaking in to visit the lady I am courting to involve in game stealth.
Cowardly weaklings who need to hide behind walls, crossbows and long sticks spotted
No I can't, my internet is down.
I hope I still have my eyesight by then.
Dont get lasik till it's really close to release and then go take a lazer eye surgery then
Imagine what the mods for bannerlord will enable.
>horsefags mad because they are losing their jobs soon enough to superior infantry and archer units
>can't conquer or defend a castle even if their life depended on it
>can't fight in the mountains
Wew lad. Better stop being a brony and fight on the ground like a real man.
I've going to be busy for the next 4 years, but after that I'll be able to NEET for a long while, so I hope they take 5 more years to release it.
will taleworlds be executed by then? another turkish rebellion?
hmm
>his wearing
>discrace
>fiest
Rhodok thirdworlders can't even speak English.
They'd better not be. I'll even pay for the game this time around.
BANNERLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD
I will kill myself if this gets cancelled
imagine being this hopeful
what's it like user? to still believe? i have forgotten.
wait what the fuck is this?
online tourney to win bannerlord keys?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I WAN TTHE MAP EDITOR
SO BADLY
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
fuck off, faggot
it hurts
this game is going to be incredibly buggy
Based on what? This isn't "in-game", its the scene editor that devs & modders use.
i don't care. i just want to play it before i die
forgot to add that if you mean clipping or visual bugs then nobody cares about that except faggots.
it's not gonna have super buggy AI because it's not made by bethesda
Sounds about right...
>didn't brace their spears
Calradian Empire
'ate rhodies
'ate khergies
'ate nordies
'ate sarries
'ate vaegis
Love feasts
Love me lance
Love butter
Simple as
I really hope spears get some love, they are way harder to use effectively than they should be.
the virgin levy freeman vs the chad shock cav
swadians are french though
>and you could have it all, my empire of dirt starts playing
I have zero idea how to use spears effectively. The enemy always hugs my nuts so I get -9999999% speed and do zero damage when playing spear and shiled, making me have to two hand it and just smack with it, at which point I'd be much better off using an actual two handed heavy weapon instead.
it won't come out this year, if it doesn't have a date it means not this year
Vaegirs, now that's a faction.
that's most of the problem really, they need a bit of distance but the AI is programmed to just get right up in your face,
even two handing and thrusting is a pain in the ass because you need to be in the distance sweet spot when really a spear should be fine at any distance unless it's a really long one.
think of the smell in a lewd mod...
This. My dad works at whatever the name of the turkroach company is and he said the game has been finished since 2013. Once the minimum requirements get affordable they will release it.
>no shields
NEVER
EVER
choose ur empire
Which ones are essentially the nords? I forget
giv steppe waifu please
It's never coming out.
PAULDRONS
>mfw I finally have a very high end PC and when...WHEN bannerlord finally comes out I'll be ready
Any other bros /patientlywaiting/ here?
No nords in Bannerlord. Sturgia are slavs and the closest you'll get as they have some nordic similarities.
Yeah back in 2015 I also had a high end PC for when Bannerlord comes out.
this except sturgians are also finns so they are more based than dirty scandies taleworlds.com
>all the fucking fanboys saying TW can take their sweet as time because they dont want an unfinished and broken game
Did those fuckers even play Warband or the original M&B?
There's literally zero(0) chance that this game will not be unfinished and broken upon release.
Same bro
I could fucking care less about a release date, plenty of good games I'm playin right now, plenty of good games I'm looking forward to
This shit is nothing but a warm sunshine to my day when I remember it's actually being made
Remember lads, games are actually fun if you enjoy them!
Oh no...NONONONONO
don't worry brother, just upgrade that cpu and pay attention to single thread strength (meaning you probably can't buy amd)
Except that's not in-game, that's just footage from someone creating a castle in the editor.
Based Taleworlds. Fuck nordaboos
>lords have to play by the same rules as the player, no more lords pulling troops out of their asses if they don't have money
Big if true. What killed M&B for me is the fact that I kept defeating dozens of enemy lords on a daily basis, but they just kept coming back 2 or 3 days later with troops. I could beat the same lord like 5 times in one game week and there was nothing to do unless I captured them as prisoners.
even with all the bugs i loved it because there's not a lot of games like it
THIRTEEN!
The song is called Hurt you uncultured swine
will join based woodfuckers
>it aint me starts playing
????????????
>mfw like the nordaboos tv show romecucks will be disappointed when the calradian empire turns out to be byzantium instead of rome
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Aint no helicopters in medieval times, dummy
So, which faction in Bannerlord is now the Swadia replacement?
no they're clearly the HRE
wait is that Calradia in a different timeline or what?
bonerlord takes place centuries before warband
its a prequel
so if WB is like 1300s BL is around 1000s? Nice
fuck off, slav user
sturgia are nords in everything but name and "lore"
warband's year is 1257. have you never played the game?
You shouldn't kys either way.
I didn't remember it, being fictional and all that
same. i got the top of the line i7-4790k for bannerlord was surely around the corner. i held off of a GPU because lack of immediate cash...
You are objectively wrong. The devs even have a devblog up about how they are NOT fucking nords. They only have some nordic traits.
Star Citizen will release before this.
Imagine spending 2000 dollars for a game that will never, ever release
pro tip: change campaign AI to medium or low. it affects how fast lords recover and when tax inefficiency sets in. that's it.
You have more time for games after college, though. If you just work 9-5 then you have no homework or projects and shit. You can play games for 5-7 hours a day if you really want to.
How far?
Having all new kingdoms in the same place is rather stupid, it's impossible that none of them survived.
Unless it's a different place or a different world entirely. I'm not saying they're not allowed to do it, but purging kingdoms that the community loved and memed for years seems like a rather stupid idea.
Fuck the devs, I'll mod their flags into swastikas so I can play as the pure nordic masterrace.
My purchase of bannerlord will coincidence with a Ryzen 3700x
Why anglos in southern empire?
>slavs
>specialty: shieldwall
yeah they're definitely slavs, bro
have you never played 1257ad the mod?
why do you think the modder chose the year 1257?
If you want to play as slavs, you have to wait until some fantasy mod adds goblins.
vikingboos are even more cancerous and retarded than romaboos
looks like a hoax that's never coming out lads
>family/dynasty mechanics
Literally the only thing missing from Warband
I didn't actually, recently I tried the Renaissance one
>When you only really love a video game before it's released and you have to play it with all of its faults opening up before you
Keep seething nordcuck. Shield-wall is now our ability. And your women too.
then go play 1257ad enhanced edition and defeat the sultan's enemies in the name of Allah!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
no I like the Renaissance setting more
here's your generated child based on your characteristics

What in the actual FUCK did you expect to do in a game called MOUNT and BLADE you absolute knuckle dragging mouth breathing retard.

I want to change the channel.
if that is the most optimal way to play then I don't see why this game is popular. that is legit fucking gay if all you do is pierce horse butts all day.
>one copy of Mount & Blade II: Bannerlordâ„¢ please
>what you mean it's not out yet?
Depends on your army.
Two factions don't have cavalry at all.
i'm an aserai though :/

I fuckin love getting swole as fuck, putting plate armor on, and just absolutely dicking down on some low armor mother fuckers. I love Warbands armor and weapon mechanics, for a 10 year old game, it has some of the best melee combat still. Also the best archery, by far.
Quick, name games that we thought would never release but ended up with release dates before butterlord
I'll start
>RDR2

>tfw want a Bannerlord-esque game but with more emphasis on economics, infrastucture, city management and trade
Never ever?
duke nukem forever
I don't understand your problem, how long have you been playing ? Having a strong horse to command your men from is and was an important factor in combat, along with cavalry in general. If you're in the early game then yeah a lot of it is probably going to be you, alone, killing bandits on horseback.
In late game, battles consist of positioning your troops, picking terrain, rallying your cavalry together, flanking and distracting missile troops, calling your infantry to charge, telling your infantry to not give chase so they stay together. Also there's always the possibility of getting your horse killed out from under you which can and WILL happen once people start throwing a shooting a lot of shit at you.
I ride around in plate armor on a warhorse covered in chainmail, I am the bane of my enemies and kill 50% of them, most of the rest is killed in an unending hail of Warbow arrows.
The thread is going to be buttblasted about this, but vanilla is horribly unbalanced and heavy cavalry basically trumps everything. Spears and ranged NPCs do absolute shit, so it is just limited to circling enemies on horse. The only exceptions are sieges, but you're not playing this game for the godawful sieges.
If you don't like it, download one of many mods that rebalance the game.
Me too, famalam. Sadly there's not money to be made with such a game (unless you go shit indie route with a one-man studio, what I want is at least decent production values), it's a niche within a niche. Our one hope is that Bannerlord is moddable to such a degree that it can accommodate such things.
Let's face it though, they will have before BL does
Who makes better Crossbows, Swagdians or Rhodicks ?
Who plays vanilla anyway when mods exist. Cavalry ain't shit when you're fielding noldor archers. BOOM HEADSHOT!
Possibly, but for now it's false still.
Bruhh, they evolve and combine/splinter as time goes on. Pretty much like real life
The Guild is all we'll ever have anons, and The Guild III is shit.
butter
Don't even mention that piece of shit.
Get a cheap tablet/laptop, go into quiet place outside your home (preferably remote area) , play warband on it. You'll appreciate it.
So basically every M&B thread is 40% Swadia posting, 40% Rhodoks and the the rest shares 20%?
I hope they will fix the horse archer AI so i can fullfil my steppenigger fantasies
Rhodoks I guess since their Sharpshooters have siege crossbows while Swadian's only have shitty regular or heavy crossbows.
Give me two pictures of a slice of Europe with 6+ countries where all the countries are completely different.
I cant wait for it to come out so I can come here and shit on it for every single thing and farm (You)s
source: my arse
Most of the kingdoms share the same bloodline, but have a different name. Countries change names all the time. If you read up on each kingdom of bannerlord it'll make sense to you
The Guild 2? That has more in common with The Sims than Mount&Blade, but you could get your fun.
absolutely based
I eliminate rhodhoks first, always
Heavy cavalry is overpowered in real life too. The problem is how easy they are to get in game
But the you have a huge disadvantage by stucking with the worst land of all of calradia.
100% NORD posting
Ok you butterlords, you have exactly 90 (NINETY) seconds to post the single best mod for Warband. I'll play it until Bannerlord releases and will conquer all of the ingame world map
I played 2 and it was shit.
1 was better in most aspects.
The Guild 2 was actually somewhat fun, I didn't think Guild III would live up to my expectations but I didn't think they'd manage to do EVERYTHING wrong
>mfw nothing will ever scratch the middle age economic itch because there arent enough people with my specific brand of autism
vikings reforged
can we not have machicolation?
I play it here and there. not much you can do. you're better off taking on the entire army since you're literally fucking god compared your peasant soldiers. Why would anyone play commander when battles take ages to resolve because of the AI.
shut the FUCK UP about machicolation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diplomacy
alternatively Dickplomacy if you're into that
shit, now I really wanna replay the guild 1. does it work on windows 10 in 2019? I think it's on gog for a couple bucks

Swadians had it coming though
I just picked up Warband again for the first time in years.
Went with Swadians. Did I do good?
You don't need helicpoters for it aint me to start playing
No
i dunno why but i always loved prophecy of pendor. but i never got far in the game, wish i could play it and dominate in this mod but it's so difficult. i don't know how to make it work, but maybe you can figure out secret tricks and how to get OP in that game and share it with me?
What's the size of the battles of Warband in the console versions?
Not sure but I would never get it anyways. Its straight up vanilla warband, not even a single intuitive mod like diplomacy included
Sehr gut.
Heavy cavalry also needs a good terrain to charge on, a good surface that won't slow them down, basically you'd have to let them engage you instead of doing the sensible thing and picking a different battle spot/hiding in a castle.
M&B can't replicate actual reasons while certain units are balanced or not, because they're balanced IRL by how boring and drawn-out war actually is.

Release the game you goddamn roaches.

Very good.

holy fucking shit
You fucked up, enjoy getting sniped off by Chad Rhodok Sharpshooters.
who will you play as once Bannerlord gets relased in 2040?
Sturgeons first time, the north has always been my stomping grounds
as a former mapmaker, this webm is extremely satisfying
2012, so 7 years. It's al ot more than just textures but it has been long enough that it's going to be a disappointment for some people.
Along with what others said, while the graphics are dated they are 'updated dated'. Warband's graphics were dated circa 2006 and it came out in 2010. Bannerlord's are dated to early to mid 2010s.
It's Calradian Empire circa a fall of the Roman Empire, Attila era basically.
Ayrabs. I'm really excite they elected to go with an authentic Rashidun caliphate style arab army instead of the stereotypical bedouins with scimitars or horse-archers. But I'll probably bounce between the Southern Empire and them. In general I'll be oriented more to the east and south than the west and north.
Graphics for a game like Mount and Blade have to be "dated". Because this is a game with a fuckload of models onscreen, and horses and projectiles going around and whatnot. You won't get, what's the best looking game now, those kind of graphics when you have so many models onscreen, and they're all moving and throwing projectiles and all kinds of shit is going on. Also they want to add destructible parts to castle if memory serves me right, so that's just more resources to use.
lmao at slavshits
>Sturgians were supposed to be Kievan Rus
>got retconned into just being vikangz
I'm sure it'll be modded up. Personally I'd like to see a "Calradian Republic" mod that sets the clock back to around 200BC. Have to do some OC donut steeling to figure out who/what the Greeks and Gauls and all that were but it'd be fun. One thing I'm liable to do modding wise sicne I dont want to do any big projects is pepper about various local auxiliaries akin to the Isaurians, Balearics, and so on.
Yeah I am not complaining about it. I started on M&B back in 2005 and it was some of the most fun I ever played, ditto with Warband. It is fucking ridiculous however how nobody has chased after mounted combat the way Mount and Blade has, those that do tend to have it be barely relevant. It'd be like if almost every FPS didn't include a sniper rifle. I'm overjoyed with mountain blade but for christ's sake I'm shocked at how allergic to mounted combat devs are.
Modding should be fairly easier
wasnt it announced that they canceled the map editor or castle building?
>Having a child instead of a feast
what? when did they stop being kievan Rus? also vikangz fit in kievan rus
I don't know what to tell you I never found it difficult. Just cheat I suppose if you're having that much trouble
Kievan Rus' were vikangs, retard.
The X series has emphasis on those points, although its set in space if that's an issue. X4 just released as well and seems good if in need of more free expansions.
you're retarded
>Rhodoks
I will reiterate what I have said before to give some of you a new perspective on this game
This game is not being actively made. They are getting government grants for funding, so what they are going to do is "make" the game indefinitely in order to keep receiving grants.
This happened with Duke Nukem Forever, with corporate investors. They got new investment like 8 times so they just "kept making" the game, they weren't even actually working.
no brapper no smell. It is as simple as that
where do you find this survey
It also looks like it's never coming out lads
You're retarded. The amount of grants pale in comparison theyd make for releasing the game
it's coming in 2019
the amount of work done to release the game also pales in comparison to the amount of work done to not make a game. lol.
Learn some history before shitposting.
turkey is a third world shithole though, and they are showing way more of the game than 3D Realms ever did
when?
shields are for fucking casuals
>t. belligerent drunk
how long has it been since theyve shown something of this game
We can all dream user
but ruskies fought in shieldwalls until 13th century
Any year now.
Who else is more excited about Persistent World/Kingdoms mod getting made on the Bannerlord engine?
