>this year
if you acquired a closed beta key* :^^^^^^^^)
Can't wait for someone to upload it within an hour of release :^^^^^^^^^^^)
EHUM FUCK FOOT SOLDIERS
Actually looks too good for M&B, hope they downgrade it
It's online only with only br mode available in the first closed beta
>implying it won't have built-in quantum encryption DRM to prevent just that
:^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)
They should've released this blog on April 1st for extra spicy memes.
I bet most M&B fags don't have powerful enough PCs lol
REEEEEEE REVOLUTION WHEN
You are mistaken, thats the whole game
So does this take place before or after M&B/Warband? Im confused.
>Multiplayer
I'll sell my car, my ass and some blood and buy one when Bannerlord comes out.
So when is their scam going to blow up and its going to be revealed that there actually is no Bannerlord and all the things we have been shown is nothing but smoke and mirrors?
What was that super hard fort again?
Well it's coming out soon so you better get ready
It's a prequel
I'll believe it when I see it.
Butterlord is the thing that will finally convince me to upgrade my toaster laptop into something halfway adequate.
I wanna see dem jaggedy-ass polygon heads in glorious 4k, and I also want to be able to claim my Bannerlord waifu before any of y'all niggers do.
I know games that have been in alpha or beta for about 10 years.
YOUR WAIFU ISNT PURE
Your waifu will be a pack horse in my horde.
4K is still way too demanding in my opinion, 1440p is the sweet spot between resolution/FPS
Y'all motherfuckers said the same thing about Ymira before I powerlevelled her into the kinda nigga that would make a Swadian Knight shit himself.
M&B players are, on average, older than that of most game player bases and thus more likely to be able to afford their own stuff. M&B formed a cult following years ago and the community has grown up considerably now, aging with it.
Also a half decent PC from 5 years ago will probably run it just fine, they're not pushing the boat visually. It just looks good compared to warband.
True but Bannerlord is gonna have huge battles with hundreds of soldiers which won't be easy to run
Ymira is for baggage train support, not for murder.
>4k
There's no reason to go above 1440p unless you're playing on a 70" screen or something.
Framerate is more important.
>Not optimising her into a medic/knight/support triple threat
Are you EVEN TRYING?
My support wife must not go to the battlefield, or I risk her seeing my war wife.
ESPECIALLY in a game like Warband, where you want as many dudes as possible on the battlefield.
I'd rather get an extra 50 soldiers fighting than a few hundred extra pixels.
I love the how people have drawn honest-to-God fan art of paper thin characters that have about 10 lines of dialogue at most.
Does the high resolution font and colorful letters bother anyone else?
The rest of the UI is fine, but the map labels and the battle log stick out like a sore thumb.

How about y'all kill y'allself?
IT IS REALLY HAPPENING
Thats what a good sandbox with emergent stories does. We all have stories of Jeremus, and enough of them trend the same way, so the community comes up with a character for him.
Dubs and it comes out this year
And that they got the hair colour wrong.
Fugg
>t. reddit
yes and we all got bored before hitting max level in borderlands 2
How do you sign up for beta?
>he never got an 80 player killstreak by jumping and clonking niggers in the head with a polearm
Pathetic.
Dubs and it comes out next year
Imma keep rolling and the game will come out when I get digits
>fuck
:^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(
who are you quoting?
>tfw bannerlord is being delayed so fucking much that functional DRM might actually get developed before it comes out
Not that I won't pay for it, but still.
Yea Forums doesn't have dubs, my newly arrived fellow.
Which factions will takeover as the new Swadia vs Rhodcucks shitposting?
OH FUCK
We need to play the game and get some "emergent stories" to create characters out of.
Nobody would look at Warband's screenshots and marketing and make the Harlaus Butterlord memes and stories, they come out of hundreds of hours of gameplay.
What if I told you this isn't the first time they've mentioned the closed beta, and they even gave a year for it last time?
34 and it drops now
December 2016 beta incoming!
>adolescence is buying a new computer for Cyberpunk 2077
>adulthood is buying a new computer for MOTHERFUCKIN' BANNERLORD
Gonna update next summer either way, hoping Zen 2 will be a worthwhile gaming cpu so I don't have to give my cash to those intel shitheads again.
batannians are white and based
Haven’t been following development too closely the last few years, I’m just curious to see if heavy cav is gonna be the only relevant endgame troop again. Their horses should be more vulnerable to archers and obviously pikes should counter them but neither is really the case due to their stats being so much better.
The problem with heavy cavs in WB is how fucking cheap they are.
I hope cav archers get some buffs, so that you can use proper horde harassment tactics of fire and retreat without having to micromanage like a motherfucker.
In fact a massive overhaul of the tactics in general is needed. Even when I tried to be clever and make lines and flanking movements all fights seemed to boil down to "blob v blob" in the end.
That was before the 2nd engine rewrite, they wont be doing that shit again. They've made clear they're happy with it now.
Napoleonic wars for Warband was glorious, best multiplayer game ever.
Blob vs blob is how most battles went in medieval times though, archers got a volley or two in then everyone mashed into each other until there was a clear advantage and morale broke. The exceptions like Egyptian chariots and Mongol horse archers are so noteworthy because they didn’t do this.
In bannerlord, you need to purchase horses for your cavalry troops to use.
Also, - and this is a massive change - A.I lords recruit troops in the EXACT same manner as the player does. That means the player and your ally lords are all in "friendly" competition with each other. If a lord goes to a town and gets loads of troops, they won't be available for you, you'll have to wait and vice versa.
Same goes for horses, they have to be breed and purchased with the supply being dynamic in the world.
This, its okay to have a most powerful all purpose unit, as long as its fucking expensive. That way you still use all the other ones, at least as filler and support.
I want the game to have a combined arms feeling, to incentivize me to have a bit of all types of troops, if not for strategic reasons, then for budgetary reasons.
What about weapons and armour? Do I have to provide them or do they still come free with promotions?
Any idea if AI lord still summon magic armies out of their asses?
my god its all gonna crash and burn
Its an upgrade imo, much easier to see whats what.
No, it will be game of the decade. And that's before the most amazeballs mods we've ever seen start to get released.
Aaaa who am I going with first
The post literally explains that no the A.I can't do that, they have to manually recruit troops from villages/cities just like the player does.
is 8gb ram, 8th gen i5 and a gtx 1050 enough for bannerlord?
Reminder that all clay rightfully belongs to Battania lore wise.
Haha. No.
playing warband what's the most OP weapon in single player? I'm leaning towards horse archery for main, but what about melee?
also which faction do i join or do i start my own?
>landlocked
>completely surrounded by enemies
Yeah, they're gon' get raped.
So Bannerlord is early access shit now? The fuck? Just release the game you fucking roaches before I release the fucking nukes I swear to god
if you're running at 1080p, yes. Id expect some fps dips though as the 1050 isnt the strongest, but you'll be ok.
What are you basing that on? Oh yeah, nothing. His specs are more than enough for most games, except the GFX card.
>What are you basing that on?
On the absolute dogshit gpu, of course. It will choke long before the max size battles.
post your warface Yea Forums
Isn't this a second closed beta? Or a third?
I really hope it works the way they say it does, that killed warband for me.
They're purposely designed to be the most difficult faction to play, they represent celts dying out during the early medieval days.
For the Empire!
Ofcourse not you sticky thin beardless normie.
Just because the AI can cockblock your recruiting, doesn't mean they're recruiting by the same rules.
It'll do him OK at 1080p. He isn't going to get 60fps in big battles, but it'll be playable. Big battles will hit the CPU more than the GPU.
Remember Bannerlord is still years ago in terms of tech required. Games were pushing things more than bannerlord before the 1050-1080ti range were even a thing.
>they think bannerlord is real
They literally had a dev blog explaining how the A.I lords recruit by the exact same rules as the player. But yeah what do the devs know about their own game.
>A multiplayer Beta
Reading the forum, its literally months off and even then it'll be a gradual release of features and game modes. Summer next year if we're lucky.
If devs knew about their own game they wouldnt have so many bugs.
Checkmate christian.
m&bfags lowkey the most autistic fanbase
>implying I don't worship Nocturnals baps
>implying that's not the based hero we needed
I don’t think you understand, we’ve been waiting since 2012 and every year it feels like the release year. And it’s not some never ever pipe dream bullshit like Scam Citizen, Warband already exists.
Keep your pants on: multiplayer closed beta. I'm guessing we'll hear more about that on Gamescom. The game itself, the sp campaign, is still far out (at least next year).
I hate how long mods take to come out sometimes.
Good to know, that's all I was asking, I was merely pointing out that anons answer didn't rule out AI fuckery.
Bannerlord was announced Sep 28, 2012.
Post things that have happened while Bannerlord was known to be in development.
I'll start: The Metro games franchise was published, and it released 3 games with a bunch of DLC on most platforms.
>Closed
Hahaha fuck you.
>teasers about teasers for teasers
Tomb Raider was rebooted, released a few games, and is waiting to be rebooted again.
I do feel like calculating physics on the swords and shields of hundreds of soldiers is going to be intensive.
DOTA2 was developed, released, expanded, revolutionized esports, brought Valve and esports in general a ton of eyes and money, declined, and is dying.
The whole cycle of life from egg to king to corpse, all while Bannerlord is in development.
>lowkey
just play the multiplayer for 5 minutes and youll realise its the opposite
>only br mode
So what you are saying is its fucking nothing.
Dark Souls was released for PC, and Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne and Sekiro were developed and released.
Who cares about 6v6 wheres the 250 player seiges
Valve became the villain.
I played a bit of multiplayer and it was decent fun
Unfortunately I don't think there are any Australian servers left active.
Warband still has organized tournaments.
The people playing in these tournaments have interactions with gamedevs.
They influence the design and development of Bannerlord more than the fanart fags on /vg/.
Bannerlord multiplayer will be competitive esport tourneyfag focused, not defending Constantinople 200 vs 200.
>Bannerlord multiplayer will be competitive esport tourneyfag focused, not defending Constantinople 200 vs 200.
FUCK OFF TOURNEYFAGS
Just stating facts, m8.
Also for some reason Yea Forums forgot this was my post, and I am not getting a (You) next to it, feels pretty bad.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
BANNERLORD SOON (TM)
Telltale reached its peak with the release of The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us before spectacularly crashing and burning just recently
Crusader Kings II was released a bit before that and is currently at like a billion DLCs.
2012 most people only had super small smartphones and some even still had flip phones.
Yea Forums went from atheist to christian.
>Jeremus
The balls on that motherfucker. Never gave him armor or swapped his gear. All he ever got was a swift courser. And yet he would always charge head on into the thick of Nordic lines.
My guess would be their predecessors which is the Calderic Empire and Vlandians/Battanians.
I know I’m playing Calderic Empire. I fucking love Byzantine History and they seem the closest to being a Byzantine Empire as possible.
>i just wanted to stop by this thread and let everyone know i'm a stupid shitter
devs have already confirmed we're getting the big 200 man MP gamemode servers. The 6 v 6 talked about in the blogpost is just one of the new modes being developed.
Everyone can be happy.
Multiplayer is where the throwing axe/throwing spear weapons actually come into place.
In singleplayer the protagonist is expected to kill like 20-30 dudes in big fights, so throwing weapons are garbage. In MP however, having 2:1 KDA is pretty good, and thrown weapons make sense.
For that reason alone, play a bit. You might be surprised how fun the light infantry skirmisher role is, and regret how impractical it is for singleplayer.
Totalbiscuit got cancer and died.
CTANKEP 2 was officially announced.
>BANNERLORD SOON (TM)
Trump became president and made peace with North Korea
The multiplayer zombie survival wagon came and went.
Star Citizen went from Kickstarter to actually having a 'playable' alpha
Huh, they released new art. I guess the project isn't dead yet, despite the complete silence.

A whole genre of video game coming to life, expanding, peaking, and declining in the same period of time when Bannerlord went from a static picture to early version screenshots.
Phantasy Dickplolord when?
I thought she had green hair.
>I main Swadia
Whats the major feature list for Dickplomacy?
I haven't played Warband since that Warhammer fantasy mod didn't grab me, will Dickplomacy make me return? I'm burned out by now.
Its probably gonna run like shit.
Miura is a hack
>polearm clipping through the entire horse
dickplomacy is just vanilla + and optional sex.
Thanks for reporting this bug! We will delay the game an additional six months to rework how weapons and horses interact.
A moment of silence for all the fallen anons that died waiting for this game.
Can't really find a list. It has diplomacy(a must have mod) and some smaller mods that make the game better, like automatic equipment upgrade for companions.
It has some optional features too, like adding Black Khergits and Dark Knights for bandits.
Sex mods are optional too, both consensual and non. You can also open brothels in towns and capture refugee and noble women to work there.
Bannerlord has been in development longer than:
The Atomic Bomb
All of World War 2
The construction of the Channel Tunnel
The entire history of RMS Titanic from the first idea to its sinking
>not a single word in the article related to bannerlord bannerlord release date
???
I guess I'll have to mod in a Rhodok equivalent
>closed beta
>only avaiable for the 3 autist that have somehow mastered this game multiplayer
wow yeah totally worth getting excited for
fuck these roaches
To be fair, Bannerlord will have a larger effect on world history than all of those combined
*dabs*
gamers rise up
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
hey any fellow khergit players in here? we bros gotta band together, pic related its me btw
>sending stupid peasants flying before trampling their skulls into the mud
can't wait butterlords
>tfw after the first 20 hours will probably play purely infantry-only because cavalry is boring easymode
Another brother died before he could enjoy the promised game.
F
These are light spearmen in a thin line, there will be troops far more capable of dealing with cavalry. This is just a demonstration to show the more realistic physics (in warband a horse would stop to a complete halt if it hit a troop face on, which is bullshit for what are essentially 4 legged tanks).
>an action game has better mass charges than Total War
What a time to be alive.
Do you think there will be a licensed Warhammer Bannerlord DLC, with more than mod quality?
Too bad horse archer suck because of their AI in warband
Maybe Bannerlord will finally make them great.
What troop counts is Bannerlord being built on? If it's built with the same 150 limitation in mind, you can't get deep enough lines to matter against a cavalry charge. If they had realistic troop rations then it might make sense, but only 5 heavy cavalry and 20 light cavalry in an army of 150 might feel silly.
no
Grundwalder
its all up to the modders, i wouldn't be surprised if the PooP developers end up making an standalone version of their mod for Bannerlord like the brytenwalda modders did for warband, still there is already a Warhammer mod for Warband even if its shit its better than nothing and bannerlord modding scene should be the same if not bigger than warband since they are not hampering moders in any way
F
>want to play as a small army of light infantry skirmishers in pajamas
>the game mechanics practically demand the player to build a hueg army of heavily armored knights instead
I wish the in-and-out skirmisher throwing spears or shooting the short bow from close range was more viable mechanically. Its so fun to play, but since you can't reload projectiles easily its just plain bad, and the AI can't be commanded to do it.
>and bannerlord modding scene should be the same if not bigger than warband since they are not hampering moders in any way
I lived through Neverwinter Nights and Neverwinter Nights 2. You never know.
Also the great modders of yesterdecade are now Unity indie devs, all the talent from the mod scene is making Candy Crush clones for bellow minimum wage instead.
So they are catering to 100 or so autists instead of trying to go for wider appeal?
That doesn't seem wise.
the way callum writes the blogs, he makes it sound like they have hundreds of future subjects planned, so Im keeping my cool
>Mount your friends
Kinky.
>Erdogan was arrested in Bankstown on Wednesday night and charged. Police allege he organised and co-ordinated the killing.
>They say Erdogan — who was known as Justin — picked him up from a Drummoyne house on March 11 in a BMW sedan.
this can't be real
Should I finally play warband or wait for the bannerlord?
IIRC they're aiming for 500 troops on screen in vanilla, so a good PC and mods will allow us to push things way higher I'd assume. Also literally no one uses the 75 v 75 troop limitation in warband, you can easily get around it by editing one txt file.
I use 250 v 250 as my limit in warband.
Shut the fuck up, non-Dixie subhuman.
many more can still go user, the game hasn't been released yet
Yeah I run 600 units in Warband, beyond that the engine begins to break down.
Good to hear higher unit counts are enabled from the start, I just hope the game is balanced for that as well.
500 vs 500 and they said the engine can push for more
play warband you fuck, but you gotta give it time as it just seems like weird jank until you really get going with larger armies
>tfw friend who also enjoyed Mountain Blade actually died
Gonna be sad if this has actual co-op for campaign
>he haven't played warband
Wait wait wait wait, hold the phone, wait a fucking minute, hold on.
Have they said "no coop" after they scrapped the engine and started over? I think the "no coop" came before, and it is talking about the old engine. Have they reestablished it?
They said they don't know how to implement co-op campaign
Just make one person a party memeber or something reee
>he hasn't played warband yet
nigger what are you doing with your life
they said they might look into adding coop post launch (doubt) or something to that effect, but itd probably only be a rudimentary system like your friend can be a player within your party and nothing more, but thats still much better than nothing
>host is the protagonist
>other people are his bodyguards

>Lord of butter
>THIS YEAR
:^^)
this game has some really bland and uninspired art costume design
The canon winner of bannerlord are the khergits, in warband which takes place 200 years later they have taken over all the lands that once belonged to the empire
Rome. Bannerlord is the equivalent of europe after Rome fell. We have factions fighting over who is the true "heir" of the calradic empire, early medieval kingdoms forming, and some remaining celtic tribe types.
Thats irrelevant to the point being made. The Battanian people are the lands natives, before the other factions of bannerlord moved in and took their land, pushing them back to their final little stronghold. It's rightfully their clay, and I will return it to them.
>thrusting axes
for what purpose
The last digit of this post will be the month of release. If its 3 or lower then its delayed forever again.
You can thrust with a manfelling axe, they normally have a pointy edge at the front. Its just very awkward, but you can stab someone with it.
Time to go back I guess.
>anime poster
your outcome is invalidated
The world belongs to the strong. This is why the empire was destroyed by the khergits

Holy shit. This is the first time I've been genuinely excited for a game in, like, 15 years.
Haven't kept up to date with the factions and such. Which faction is the closest to Nords?
sturgia
technically Slavs, though. The nords of warband appear between the events of bannerlord and warband.
Would be cool if we got an expansion with them appearing as an invasion force.
Time to let the civilized world burn again
youtu.be
been saying this since 2013
For some weird reason, it feels like everything went to shit between the moment this game was first announced and now. As if developing this game is causing the world to go to shit more and more, and once it finally does come out some giant event will happen that will cause the endtimes or some other shit.
>half decent PC from 5 years ago will probably run it just fine
That's why they need to hurry up. I built mine 3-4 years ago with an eventual Bannerlord release in mind. Release the fucking game already!

Fuck off redditor
What's the best vanilla+ experience avaiable for warband?
youtube.com
Soon.... sooon
Unironically Dickplomancy.
There are official doom metal models. They are all very expensive though.
God it's taking forever, it's going to take even longer for proper mods to come out.
It's obliviously all based on real life events, bannerlord is equivalent to 1100's and warband is based on 1300's. Following the real life trend the khergits (mongols) would get their shit kicked in by the vaegir (Slavs) and the vaegir would eventually conquer all of the khergits land (Siberia)
