I'm happy about all the new shit but I'm here to ask the REAL questions, son. LikeDid they improve marriage mechanics and did they add the ability to bone your spouse and have kids?
because it makes the wait even more unbearable
>>341833831
No idea how much they've changed marriage shit, but I'd assume it's better than Warband's marriage.
In this blog they talk about characters aging so maybe there's a potential for heirs.

Yes
Dear fucking lord, am I hyped, but they sure did reuse a lot of assets.
Because this footage wasn't particularly exciting and didn't show us much beyond what we already knew. There's some new siege equipment, cool. Doesn't look like it does any serious damage or effective sieges that much.
Otherwise the gameplay looks exactly the same as before.Also the shitter playing it had cheats on
i kind of figured they weren't going to fuck the combat up and they always talked about sieges being shit in both mountain blade games. what i really want to know is how the diplomacy is
>>341837759
>Otherwise the gameplay looks exactly the same as before.
The combat was one of the most highly praised gameplay elements. Did you think they were going to do a major overhaul of it? There have been some changes to it but yeah it's mostly the same. It's a sequel, not a different game.
>>341833990
Great, can't wait for the waifu mods.
>>341837759
>Otherwise the gameplay looks exactly the same as before.
Honestly, I'd rather play it safe and hope they don't tweak it too far off from what it was originally, and instead focus on expanding and fleshing out the feudal, diplomatic, economic, banditry, and other concepts that could give it even more replayability.
>>341837228
>does this require any programming whatsoever?
Nah, the map editor shouldn't.
>>341838179

It's pretty much guaranteed, considering the most popular mod for warband was napoleonic wars, and it was so successful it ended up being made an official expansion.
>>341841972
Probably Vlandia because the region reminds me of Swadia. Possibly Sturgia if it's the 'viking' type faction because I do love me some axes. Especially if it lets me dual wield them.

do you have any idea how many inaccuracies there are between depictions of warfare and recovered artifacts of the time?
People carving and painting didn't has a good attention to detail, you can finds loads of paintings from the middle ages of armor, clothing and even weapons that never existed.
Dual-wielding has been proven to be worthless for warfare, you don't swing faster with two swords and you lose protection and force of each swing.
Dual-wielding is for dueling, it's party trick.
>>341844081
I don't really see why not. You're already allowed to do suicidal shit like walk into line battles with a two-handed sword instead of a spear/pike and shield. I don't want to dual wield axes because I think it's efficient, I want to dual field axes because it's batshit crazy and awesome, and berserkers actually did that shit. Hence why they were called fucking berserkers.

Berserker means bear skin.
Because they wore bear skins.
It has nothing to do with "going crazy" and doing DMC style combos in a horde of enemies.
They also probably didn't take drugs to get themselves into a rage, and they felt pain like the rest of us.
Am I the only one who hates that fucking font? I was really hoping they'd use something remotely modern and readable.
>>341844296
See >>341844306
If you want practicallity, don't play suicidal shit and just be a boring knight faggot on a horse with a polearm casually riding around destroying idiot peasants. What was fun about warband is I had the option to be something else entirely if I wanted to be. It's mount and blade, not melee-ArmA.
Any word on co-op?
>>341844447
the point of MB is pulling off crazy suicidal shit while being restricted to the more realistic standards of the game.
If you could just flip around doing Link's spin attack with axes it would be stupid.
If they were going to implement duel axes they would have to be shittier than using a single axe, and it's kind of pointless considering the game is focused on warfare.
>>341844296
>I dont like it so it doesnt exist
Yeah, no. Monk scriptures from vikings raids in England continuously make reference to vikings dual wielding weapons, particularly ones they called berserkers, which is where the entire western depiction of berserkers and beserking came from.
This is also just common sense; is some totally retarded uneducated rape happy pillager going to be holding multiple weapons if he can? Yes, he is. Even if using two weapons is empirically worse off that isnt going to stop him because he doesnt know that.
>>341844560
Except I'm not asking for that shit. I never did. I WANT to be gimped with a ridiculous style. It makes it more satisfying when I destroy people. That's the whole point of the game for me. Succeeding against slanted odds with eccentric playstyles.

Many Vikings did use multiple weapons and we have evidence of that. Im not going to go to a library and pick up a history book of monk scriptures to prove this point because its literally common knowledge at this point. Its the entire basis of beserkers.

Why is it so insane and impossible to believe that some idiot vikings or other barbarians did the same. You do realize these people were all idiots, right?
So what's so special about Mount & Blade exactly? It looks pretty generic from what I've seen.
Not saying it isn't good, I'm more than willing to be convinced otherwise.
>>341844719
are you saying they be standing inside the walls where they can't shoot the enemies or keep them from climbing up?
>>341844875
so show the fucking proof then. it's not about having a professional army. it's about the practicality of it. there's no tactical advantage to dual wielding and even the vikings knew this

>common knowledge
common knowledge is usually wrong, the reason it's common is because it's transmitted via word of mouth rather than learning from sources.
Having multiple weapons doesn't mean you use both at once.
Most soldiers would try to at least have a dagger on them for when they are up close.
Using two axes at once is stupidity in any real combat scenario.
You're losing chopping power, you already have no way to stab, you're not going to be able to parry well at all and you are not gaining any benefits at all.
Vikings weren't stupid meat heads like in your cartoons, they were smart about how they fought and were able to sail huge portions of the globe.
That's how they were able to fight forces with better military technology and weapons.
They didn't become as infamous as they are by doing stupid shit to impress the 12 year olds reading about them centuries later.

Personal opinions aside, how would dual wielding work mechanically? Make each mouse button control attacking with each weapon? But then you can't block. And you'd probably attack slower since you have two weapons. idk senpai. Separate button for blocking?I think dual wielding is fucking retarded but I want to know how it would even work in game
>Viking raids often lacked formation. They have been described as "bees swarming." However, what they lacked in formation they made up with communication. This naturalistic sense of unconventional warfare is rooted in their lack of organized leadership. These small fleets communicated effectively and made it difficult for English and Frankish territories to counter these foreign tactics. Sprague compares these tactics to those of contemporary western Special Forces soldiers who, "attack in small units with specific objectives."

>>341845894
wrong
>le show the proofs
hey i can do it too.
Vikings did not "dual wield". They had two-handed axes which were used when needed, but for the vast majority of time used a sword and shield, axe and shield or spear and shield. There are no recorded instances that mentions using two swords or axes as anything but an improvised battle tactic which was far from the norm among Vikings.
The word "berserker" comes from the two words; "ber" and "serk", meaning "bear coat". Norse beserkers would often wear animal skins and enter a state of frenzy by channelling the spirit of the animal, a bear of wolf most commonly. But they did not go into battle nude as many seem to imagine. The confusion among laymen comes from the Celtic beserkers who would go to battle without clothing, only covered in painted woads.
A Norse berserker was most likely to charge into battle with two spears, throwing them while closing in and then switching to a sword or a sword and shield when clashing with the enemy. The berserker rage was often achieved by the warrior imbibing a non-lethal dose of poisonous mushroom before battle, creating hallucinations and making them numb to pain and injury.
A lot of you should watch less American-produced nonhistorical comedy shows like "Vikings".

Any word on multiplayer servers? As it stands I only get 5 servers with about 6-12 people in at any given time with playable ping (<300).
I picked this game up because a friend hailed it as the second coming of zyzz and I enjoyed the single player though it feels unfinished. Combat is sort of a bore now but the available talent pool for multiplayer in my area is pretty small and getting dull fast.

guys, what happens if its another kf2
what if it gets thrown into early access limbo
what if the devs turn on us
what if its not good
>>341846598
yes, it does. you only see dual wielding in high fantasy works of fiction like lord of the rings and game of thrones. there is no historical account of dual wielding so, yes, it is high fantasy because that's the only place it exists. FACT
>>341846049
you're almost there, a few things though.
The mushroom thing is likely a myth, there is not actually any evidence of it.
Berserker is also translated into Norse as champion.
All records of vikings going "berserk" were demonstrations to scare the enemy.
For example there are records of a viking howling and biting his shield, but then is proceeds to talk like normal, obviously not in a berserk state.
Viking berserkers are just good fighters serving their lord that wore bear skins.
Men of Praven stop your feasting
Can't you see their steel bolts gleaming
See their sergeant's pavises standing
To this battle field
Men of Praven stand ye steady
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
Stand and never yield
From the hills rebounding
Let this war cry sounding
Summon all at Swadia's call
The mighty force surrounding
Men of Praven onto glory
This shall ever be your story
Keep these fighting words before ye
Swadians will not yield

High Fantasy = An entirely different world with non consistent logic to the real world. Like magic, dragons, new races
Being able to hold your dick in one hand and a sword in the other isnt fucking high fantasy by any definition of it.
>>341846998

>>341846849
>a few things though.
Why would you act like you are correcting someone, only to spew bullshit?
>The mushroom thing is likely a myth, there is not actually any evidence of it.
It was a form of shamanistic trance induced before battle, very likely helped along by drinking mead laced with trace amounts of poison, as is the popular theory among historians. And a theory is not the same as a myth.
>Berserker is also translated into Norse as champion.
That is wrong, and as a Norwegian I'll thank you to not try that shit again.
>Viking berserkers are just good fighters
They had a lot more significance than that. Most men in the Viking armies were "good fighters", but only a few could attack with the fury and fearlessness to become historical legends still talked about and discussed today.
>>341847394
>It was a form of shamanistic trance induced before battle, very likely helped along by drinking mead laced with trace amounts of poison, as is the popular theory among historians. And a theory is not the same as a myth.
The theory is built on the myths.
The sagas written about these people depicted them as maddened, but those are just stories.
And as I said, they generally did this mad stuff and then immediately went back to normal before the fight. It was posturing to build fear in the enemy.
>That is wrong, and as a Norwegian I'll thank you to not try that shit again.
sorry it was the reverse.
The french chanpion (champion) was translated as berserkr in Norse.
>but only a few could attack with the fury and fearlessness to become historical legends still talked about and discussed today.

I'm a huge fan of warband but I'm not sure about bannerlord. It honestly just looks like more of the same with some improvements. I've already put hundreds of hours into warband, there's nothing new I've seen so far that's amazing enough to draw me in to buy bannerlord and play it for hundreds of hours more.
>>341848132

>tfw Cockroachland will never be Byzantium again
>>341848243
It's an entirely new engine without all of the limitations that Warband had. The possibilities that that brings, along with all the new mods is reason enough for me to buy it personally.
