its basically a bigger warband with some new mechanics and better modding tools, just as it should be
>>reworked AI from scratch Stopped reading right there. The AI is still complete dogshit. The combat is also still terrible and so are the animations. They took too long, so I will be getting my copy from Skidrow
Mordhau plays like shit too. All PC melee games play like shit, but only an idiot played M&B for the combat.
Ethan Sanchez
I'll just pirate my copy of M&B, thanks. Don't worry about what I play lol
Caleb Gray
All I need is improved balance in multiplayer and archers/crossbows nerfed to the ground so its not a ranged cowardfest anymore.
Some improvements for combat would be welcome too, like adding another attack direction, but overall they dont need to change it much, it already is #1 melee combat in medieval/fantasy games.
Carson Clark
>archers nerfed a cowardly faggot calls for nerfs, i would rather have buffs to armor so it means more. this way theres a difference between fighting less armored and more armored opponents at range.

I need this shit yesterday. I love that they chose to really beef up the non-combat gameplay. I never quite understood why there was no real Game Over state in the original.
I think they had to downgrade some things for console.
Ethan Allen
Being able to play Bannerlord on the Switch is wprth it.
Caleb Gomez
graphicsfaggotry is shit, but it has become annoying to see games look visually worse on release than during development thankfully the game seems universally improved on the mechanics end aside from one or two spots, which is where the appeal should be
Joshua Hill
I see none of y'all making new M&B memes in celebration of the release, what's up with that?
Where did all the old M&B bros whoa actually played the old games go.

It doesn't look any different to me. Remember too that Warband can look like it was made in the late 90s if you crank all the settings to minimum. They probably aren't showcasing it on max fidelity for console purposes.
Jackson Foster
I have a craptop and an xbone, will this be any good on console? Mods?
David Rivera
they're already advertising it as a console game?
Leo Wright
Rather play Three Kingdoms
Angel Wilson
They haven't said much. They have found XBox controller layouts in the files from the beta though.
Landon Flores

Evan Long
Practically virginal to Mountain Blade here, quick question: is it possible for a party to lose a battle and simply retreat without being entirely destroyed or captured?
Justin James
Seems silly to advertise it on a showfloor at console settings when it's only been announced for steam, with console references coming from third parties digging around their beta files
Ayden Evans
No. Normal troops will fight to the death or be captured. Companions will disperse and return to wandering inns till you find them.
Colton Rodriguez
the multiplayer looks so fucking bad
Dylan Walker

Out of 5k hours in Warband I have maybe 5 in singleplayer. How do you people manage to play this game and enjoy it when youre vs braindead AI that cant use this combat system?
Levi Jones
Playing Mount & Blade Viking Conquest, it's like this one have every problems Warband have but made an hundred time worse. I keep dying to opponent with spears because despite running in the same direction they get the speed bonus damage for whatever reason. It's balanced like ass, you get sudden difficulty spikes and then the next quest it's just too easy, and the devs answer to that is "just change the options".

Two separate occasions caused them to lose entire engines and need to restart from scratch. Plus, you're thinking of kikestarter scam early access, not what Taleworlds does with early access.

who cares. I wanted an open map like arma 2 with my 1000 person army following me.
Owen Cox
you play as a nobody but its a good thing since the main characters are too busy doing their shit so it makes sense. You do run across some of the characters though, and a lot of them are commanders/quest givers.

Also you can play as any evil faction from orcs of mordor, goblins from moria, or corsairs from the south, haradrim, etc

imagine being this low iq that you come into something with an opinion freshly made on nothing but assumption
they've stated nonstop for the past few days that it's feature-complete and ready to go but they felt it would be better to do early access so they could get some final player feedback on things like balance and MP modes. it's the final part of the development cycle.
Carter Nelson

Sounds like your just trying to justify your own asshurt.
Landon Bailey
I only realized how utterly incompetent those t*rkroaches when they started releasing new screenshots like the downgraded map and completely changed UI which looks like shit now, and started recycling blogs. Info about them having to remake the engine like three times already and sketchy funding practices didnt help either. The multiplayer video they released few weeks back just confirmed my suspicions that this game will be a complete train wreck if it ever even comes out.

In the first game units would charge in straight lines. In this one units scatter and spread out, trickling down the battlefield like rain, branching out as they advance; Or did you not notice in the gameplay videos?
>have purposefully blacked myself out and ignored news for the last decade >finally letting myself get a bit excited Fuck WoW classic posters, this is the real homecoming
Joseph Morgan
Yes. If you get completely destroyed in a fight you will just lose, but there is an option before and in-between skirmishes for you to run away and leave a token force behind to buy time. Your units will never retreat in the middle of a fight, though.
Asher Ramirez
AAAAAAAAAAAH I CAN'T WAIT 9 MONTHS I NEED IT NOW!
Gavin Lewis
Just stop caring about it and forget about it. Don't keep up with the news or anything. Then, in 9 months when it comes out, it will be a good surprise and it will feel like no time has passed at all. Mental hibernation.

fused both and the other name stayed, just like how sturgians had huskarl and now have berserker, those were just names for internal testing since those are the not-swadia and not-nords factions think of it like when in strategy game sequels when all the factions were new but they had equivalents in the first game, and when you lookedin the fils to mod someting you would find they are called like the units from the original game they are replacing

disregard you definitely can retreat in battle. but you have to fight a little and take some casualties (10-20) then you'll get the option to leave when pressing tab while you're away from enemies.

I loved warband but the game wasn't particularly well made. Having the visual complexity of a RTS and the gameplay of a source mod doesnt leave much else. This is barely an improvement
Christopher Hughes

Joshua Richardson
I only play this game for the multiplayer and the new graphics and animations look like they're going to fuck everything up.
Still think they should have given nids skirmishers as a multiplayer class. Leather armor max, cavalry shields, spears, javelins/jarids, and swords. Give them a higher throwing skill and call it a day.

Who thinks F.E.A.R had 'good' AI in 2019? F.E.A.R had very specific node-based behavior that was baked into the level design. It was pretty good for the player, but it wasn't scalable or applicable to any other game.

My biggest disappointment is lack of proper feudal system where you can give fiefs to your clan members that will be forced to follow your orders. It seems like they will just like you little bit more and thus will be more likely agree to do what you want but they will be just like any other lord.
No because it seems like I don't have vassals. I have to pay for their armies to follow me. When I take a castle for example king will decide at random who gets it, but lords with less land will have higher chance. You can get higher chance by spending your influence. This means that I can't even help one of the lords from my clan get a fief. And giving it to him once I got lucky to get it my self would be stupid idea.
Oliver Edwards

poor baby enters thread about a topic he doesn't like It's made by some dudes in turkey who just want the game to be fun like the last one. Considering NO OTHER GAME does what Mount and Blade does its acceptable that the combat is similar but with few additions. and lmao who the fuck cares about gwaphix, just happy it looks different. The animations in Warband are as simple as they need to be, so the player can get a feel for the weapons reach and speed easily. Theres absolutely no need for overcomplicated and overdesigned animations. This isn't that shitty game For Cucks, where you're locked to 3 attack directions and meaningless fighting game "combos" that do nothing but remind you that you are playing a game
Hunter Lopez
wait, there is something written on him

I really hope they add battle cries and battle chatter for the AI like saying something in relation to what they're doing like pushing a battering ram or witnessing many men die at once etc.

>tfw building a new pc currently and early access for bannerlord is on my birth month It's been a rough couple years but bannerlord is about to make it worth it, I just need to not die within 9 months.
Well, there's a reason I called the guy in that pic Sub-Saharan. Look at his hair, that crusty kinky texture isn't found anywhere else. >Why are nomadic tribes so common Because if you don't have farming and ranching, then you need to travel around to find animals and plants once you've exhausted the local supply. That said, nomadic tribes weren't common in most of the civilized world. Celts, Greco-Romans, Iberians etc, non of them were nomadic, nor were Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and the like. Germans during the migration period were a bit semi-nomadic in the sense that they often picked up and moved their whole civilization to get away from someone, take better land, or get to a better raiding target, but they lived in settled villages and towns like everyone else and eventually dropped that. The only real places you find nomadic tribes late are in the deserts, steppe, and tundra, places where farming with pre-modern tech doesn't work or doesn't work well. So, North Africa, down in the Arabian Peninsula, in the Pontic Steppe etc. One outgrowth that's a bit of an exception is that Muslims tended, while they lived in cities, tended to drag the remnants of nomadic tribal affiliation with them and attract Bedoins (who they treated like shit) to infect the areas they moved to.
Lucas Lewis

Jose Foster

Isaac Bailey
do we know what features are gonna be in on early access release? will we have at the very least everything thats in warband plus a few new features?
Yeah, nomads, not niggers. That's not the same thing, or are you gonna tell me that Sami are black?
Jacob Nelson
Unless I play on easy settings, I can't find this game enjoyable at all. With higher difficulty everything becomes a chore and any noticeable progress consumes dozens of hours, as you need tons of time for your units to level up and some luck, so they won't die in the process (especially in Brytenwalda/Viking Conquest).
Blake Jones
>reeee niggers Butterlord is gonna have censorship. Enjoy it.

If i wanted to get into M&B What should i get? I know that probably Warband but what mods are essential
only use mods after you tire of the base game, theres an easy 200 hours alone in base Warband. Most good mods are overhaul mods which change the setting, story, factions, and sometimes mechanics. Experience the game for what it is first. Its fucking great
Jack Thomas
Play some vanilla first or diplomacy 4 for a good overhaul. After that get the various total conversion mods like Perisno, Propecy of Pendor, A World of Ice and Fire,...
Nathan Martinez
and no, there are no quality of life mods or bug fixes that are needed like in other games
Dominic Green

William Lopez
" We've given them two-handed kontos lances - a slight anachronism, as these are more late ancient than early medieval weapons, but we think it will add interesting variety. Without the shield, a frontal charge by cataphracts might more easily be disrupted by missile fire, but if the enemy doesn't have supporting missile troops, then the extra reach of the kontos can be devastating. Their heavy maces, swung from a fast-moving horse, can also deliver a crushing blow." From the empire part 2 blog.
Liam Thompson
bannerlord is trash
John Cook
Why wouldn't they? You're the enemy literally storming their castle, should they just sit back and wait for individual 1 on 1? Sounds pretty boring to me. You can avoid being swarmed by mobs if you manage your troops well enough. Keep deep rowed formations for body blocking of the attacking faction. That free's up your archers for support and cav for flanking/hammer&anvil
Samuel Wilson
Good, fuck the Medieval Star Citizen, i actually would be hype as fuck but 8 years after the relase of Warband and these faggots will give us HOPEFULLY without any delay a fucking early access game? Fuck off with this bullshit

I am trained in naked greatsword and I'm the top crossbow man in whole Rhodok forces. You are nothing to me but just another noblelady to throw into prostitution in dicklo. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my network of travellers across the Calradia and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire Vault of Harlaus butter and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
Josiah Jenkins
pretty based ngl
Joseph Cook
I haven't kept up with any news or anything for the game basically. But is there a Nord faction again? With huskarls?
Brody Thompson
Is this the most incelcore game ever?
Christian Harris
looks like it's them >475225548
James Gonzalez
are you kidding me? Is there STILL no fucking release date?
No Nords. Those are the ancestors of the Vaegirs. No Nord-equivalent either, there's no heavy infantry focused faction in the entire game, Vlandian are cavalry, Khuzait are horse archers, Sturgian are cavalry, Aserai are cavalry, Battania is archery, and Imperials are good at everything.
Jeremiah Carter
Test
Tyler Cox
history wise I agree, but their tree looks the most nordish
Grayson Rivera
iirc the nords only arrived after Bannerlord's timeframe from across the northern sea. The northern faction here are the ancestors of the Vaegirs who are like proto slavs.
Jonathan Gray
Tested
Eli Thompson
Imagine Kievan Rus' , aka Slavs who got colonized and ruled over by the Norse and civilized by them while picking up some of their culture, only the Norse haven't invaded yet so they got all those trappings from trade with the guys up north who are going to invade them in a couple centuries. That said, they're sadly not an infantry faction still, like at all.
Gabriel Bell
muh DIK
Jordan Rodriguez
Congrats, you're pregnant.
Evan Flores
b-but that hidden 3 troops user...
Mason Bell
>there's no heavy infantry focused faction in the entire game That fucking sucks. But I'm going to assume there'll still be some faction that just happens to have a particularly strong heavy infantry unit that stands out from the rest, even if it's not the main focus of the faction
Julian Myers
haha what do you think your skull smells like while I drink from it just curious haha
Julian Rivera
There's a more updated one here you'll notice that Sturgia only has light and medium infantry aka trash.
Luke Reed
But that's not how horses work though.
Robert Stewart
Dont Vlandians kinda look like one?
Ryan Roberts
>That said, they're sadly not an infantry faction still, like at all. seriously speaking, tho, they are pretty likely to be inf faction. Don't let that 3 cav troops fool you. They're vaegir vet(mounted). to vaegir horsemen tier troops. Inf or not, they won't be cav oriented faction either with top tier like that.
Elijah Evans
a horse can weight up to a ton and run between 40-80 kmh. If it runs against a human it surely wont stop
Carson Davis
No, they're the proto-Swadians and Rhodoks. They have a heavy infantry unit, but their big focus is on crossbows and heavy cav as seen Nope, look at this . Not a single heavy infantry unit.
Asher Collins
not him, but i think he means troops in bannerlord are actually knocked down or out of way unlike in warband. Where it sometimes moves them away slightly and most of the time you just smack into them and completely stop.
Isaiah Long
I have the beta and it's shit.
Daniel Young
prove it
Jackson Young
How the fuck am I supposed to get started in PooP ? I keep getting fucked over, even by hobos.
We don't really know much about them, we heard something about some Jormsvikings and Varangians (which won't help what I'm talking about since they're for once of the Empires and they already excel in everything so they're not focused) and that's more or less it. Everyone has sub-factions, we just don't know any details.
Brody Roberts
not a giant fan of the map being larger, it was already too big in Warband
Landon Collins
so what are they gonna to be? Jack of all trades?
Elijah Bailey
Cavalry and bow. The light and medium infantry are only good for filler.
Caleb Sullivan
>I'M A WARRIOR
Ayden King
>So assuming I'm really quick on the draw with savescumming? Nothing?
Fixed.
Lucas Wood
Too lazy to watch any of the videos or read the thread If battles are much larger, did they also make recruiting easier? Or do you still have to scour 50 villages to get your 100 dudes together?
Elijah Gutierrez
>sturgians >berzerkers no no no
Jackson Collins
>he doesn't savescum the shit out of mountain blade lmaoing @ ur life
Sorry, too lazy to tell you anything you want to know
Joseph Cooper
More like >Unarmored >Two-handed They are utterly fucking worthless.
Austin Roberts
If you ever put yourself in a position when you need to savescum then you're just bad and the cycle will infinitely repeats.
Daniel Robinson
or you know, you accidentally ran into 6 groups of 30 bandits and don't feel like losing all your money
Parker Thomas
Just win brah lol. Or atl east kill enough so you can escape after you get KO'D. You have more than 10 soldiers, right?
Charles Cooper
proper Vaegir would never use the shield for anything more than covering his back, that's the law
James Foster
Mods with unique or extremely tricky items to get got me into the habit. Losing an item that can legit take hours to get is an insanely painful experience. Fuck even in fire and sword which is underated and I wish it got more love since they nerfed every way to get money in that game losing the dutch double pistol makes you want to put a real one in your mouth and pull the trigger.
Robert Davis
i just want to get best possible result every single time and doing so using only in-game methods OCD of sorts
Ian Ramirez
I love playing With Fire and Sword with a mod that makes grenades work like arrows (i.e. they automatically replenish after every battle) Never stops being hilarious throwing 3 big grenades into the tight enemy formation
Andrew Williams
Dual wielding was a real thing, to be fair.
Uwu-user's probable desire for Sephiroth wielding twin weeb-razors to go full Dynasty Warriors on a bunch of sea raiders while completely naked would probably be too much, but some simple dual wielding would be alright. Think of Sturgian berserkers with twin axes or Aserai blade dervishes wielding scimitars.
>Think of Sturgian berserkers with twin axes Not very threatening when you realize they have light armor.
Thomas Long
>Ugh didnt you know IRL that soldiers only fought with spears >Whats that? You have multiple instances of proof of many kinds of weapons? >Well they didnt work in my LARP so it must be historical lies
Joshua Nguyen
>turks turn you into a fusion of vaegir and nord >huskarl gets divided in 2 units >one gets the giant round shield but will never use it because you have vaegir blood >the other gets the retarded strenght but it's not heavy armored something tells me berserkers will have a huge hp pool that or the wolf pelt has heavy armor stats
Angel Brown
>that or the wolf pelt has heavy armor stats The fuck are these wolves, Fenrisian 'Wolves'?
Aiden Moore
this. people want it like in movies, enemies dance around you and coming for 1v1s only.
Benjamin Young
hey don't ask me, ask the turks that were wetting themself over GoT at the time
>Did they keep the idea of being able to build up any village into a castle no. it's too complex for zoomers. >or did they go back to the old, villages are tied to towns / citys? yes.
Jackson Rivera
With such poor units they probably won't be hard.
Brandon Stewart
Don't worry, the NPC routines are so basic that it won't matter
Isaiah Robinson
Just spear their horse down and kill them when they are still on the ground. Fighting a single horseman is not a problem as long as you have a polearm or a two handed axe, it's only annoying when you get harassed by them from multiple directions, or when you're fighting infantry and they fuck you from behind
Brody White
perhaps you're not too lazy to read the blogs? all of them.
Liam Morris
Maybe don't have a shitty relationship with the villages then? Even in Warband you can get 15ish upgraded units from a single village
Carson Rivera
dropped it after >generating the siege map t match the area was a bitch >testers just abused it and on chockepoints they would build 10 layers of fortress you can still upgrade towns into cities/forts
Tyler Clark
Cool story, now think about how long it would take to get 1000 of them
Luke Diaz
>you can still upgrade towns into cities/forts useless
Robert Hall
Can I make a "ninja dogs vs giant bears" mod or is the game restricted to human characters? If I can't, it's a hard pass
>vlandians have medieval knight helmet for not-Roman collapse era
AGHHHHH NOOOOOO
Caleb Cooper
>testers just abused it and on chockepoints they would build 10 layers of fortress I would have loved storming insane fortresses with dozens of layers of walls and see thousands of mens die so I can conquer it, climbing on their corpses
Gabriel Jackson
it's just an older version of the rhodok sergeant helmet, just to make the unit recognizable I guess
>weebtard thinks his opinion matters oh im laffin aight
Jason Lee
you can turn off the death by combat, and execution only appens if you have very low honor and only for the player, every otherlord always have permadead on and you still die of old age
Carter Ortiz
is your favourite faction rhodoks? just checking something
Cameron Myers
>its a multiplayer beta Who gives a fuck, the campaign is what makes MnB as noteable as what it is >I want MnB to be like Chivalry and Mordhau multiplayer Which are fucking dead, MnB thrives on its singleplayer and moddability. The beta features none of these things. If you want to talk about gameplay it is literally the same fucking game, I played it too user, it is the same game with better graphics.
Ayden Young
>I played it too Tell us about all the subfactions then.
Juan Rogers
When weebs/mordhau fags are only ones getting in AAAAAAAAAAA
Lucas Torres
>when X Shut the fuck up twitterfag and go back
Thomas Evans
fucking this, callum you cuck give me the key
Lucas Morales
>Britbong.com lmao, you were the retard typing Nigger into the chat every two minutes. Based retard, but you really fucked those Sandniggers when we were playing
Jack Bell
So essentially:
Byzantines
Normans
Mongols
Danes/Saxons
Moors
Scots/Picts
Jaxon King
The beta was just a multiplayer arena where you picked a preset soldier from any factions troop roster and fought in some arab village. There was nothing about subfactions user, it was a multiplayer beta.
Jordan Perez
>Normans I'd say swabians
Nathaniel Gonzalez
Fast as fuck cavalry that throw javelins instead of getting stuck into melee like cataphracts.
Nathaniel Rodriguez
Not the user, but what about the gamescom demo? Were subfactions part of it?
Liam Parker
what do you think Swabians are based on
Charles Russell
Socialist pirates
Carson Powell
warsword conquest
Jordan Carter
Franks, but definitely not Normans
Samuel Green
This game is actually coming out, huh. What's the next "forever in development" game I can meme about?
Joseph Long
Half Life 3
Nolan Rodriguez
Not that I remember, no. I do know that Varangian Guard for Empire are specifically tied to a sub faction and cannot be simply recruited and trained, they need to elaborate on this rather than just say its a thing.
