When is it coming out?
What are your expectations for it?
>>343846489
Q4 2020
Hype as fuark
>>343846489
My expectations are to kill filthy swadians with my beard.
>>343848469
>implying you can withstand the might of a full army of Swadian cavalry charging at you
Never
Nothing
>>343846489
>Earliest date: Q4 2016
>Latest date: Q1 2017
I'm turkish and developers said these dates several times.
>All those mods that might be updated from Warband
>>343846489
>What are your expectations for it?
More ladders
>they're literally making it open source
I've heard late 2016 or q1 2017.
I just started playing warband and it's a lot of fun, but some of the issues become pretty apparent (lack of diplomacy, samey sieges, etc)
hopefully they see what the modding community did to improve the game and learn from it. The siege gameplay video they posted looked really good.
Downloaded Warband, any tips? Never played this game
>>343850589
>Actual date: Q5 20XX
So far it looks good.
I'm not expecting it to release this year.
>>343851319
Buy businesses everywhere before you pledge allegiance to any one of the kings.
Cattle herding is not worth it, hunt down bandits and escort caravans instead. Sea raiders drop expensive gear.
Also, the two-handed mace is the best weapon in the game, try to acquire one as soon as possible.
>>343851319
get companions
tournaments are easy money if you can fight and keep your team with you. even easier if you save scum
dyeworks everywhere
>>343851745
say I pledge fealty to the Swadians, then the Swadians go to war with the Nords. I don't get money from my enterprises in Nord towns right?
>>343851870
Exactly, which is why you need to withhold swearing allegiance until you're set everywhere in Calridia.
>>343851319
Dont spread your points across things you dont have to do. Hire some companions and level then for things like the medical stats/engineering/training ect
Do every tournament you can find, its good experience and money. If you win the fame bonus is huge and useful all game. Minor tip; you can order your allies in arena fights, tell them to follow you so they dont get teamed up on.
Command your troops in battle. Archers behind, troops up front, cav to charge from side or rear.
>>343849109
>implying I won't kite swadian scrubs around all day with my Turkish horse archers
>>343851474
>>343846886
Seriously though, when is it supposed to come out? Or have they still not officially announced a release date yet?
>>343852017
official statements have been late 2016 I think
>>343851319
1) Pick a faction and schmooze with their king
2) Dont pledge allegience to a nation before you have a fairly strong band of people and a steady stream of income from businesses
3) Never get off your horse. If horse is killed, make a mad dash to the nearest free one
4) Finf a character named Jeremus and have him join the party. Almost every time he levels up raise his Int and dump points into Surgury, First Aid, and Medicine. Your units will heal faster, keep more of their health after battle, and rarely die. Also he's a bro
5) Rhodock Sharpshooters, Swadian Knights, and Nord Huscarls are the best units in the game
>>343852017
I hasn't been officially announced yet, they're aiming for players to have it in some way or another by the end of 2016.
>>343852317
>>343852410
Thank's for the info.
>open source engine
Absolutely god tier. This game will be ported to every platform ever for the rest of time.
While we're on the topic, anyone else think the devs are getting ready to wrap their studio up and fuck off out of Turkey before the bombings become a daily affair? I don't see why they'd open source their engine otherwise.
>>343850752
This is the fucking hype I have for Bannerlords.
The possible mod expectations. Developers are already staking claims on what kind of mods they are going to make on the TaleWorlds forums.
Fuck can't wait for a Star Wars M&B modpack. Its been too long since Conquest.
I NEED IT

what's the best way to start your own faction?
>>343854469
Grind fame and honor, if you don't no one will like you enough to join.

>>343854469
Take what belongs to you
Better economy I guess ?
The trading and production in warband seemed kind of obtuse yet shallow.
What will be your first faction /v/? You gonna pick the old favorite or the new guyswe know there's only one right answerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el93MIxAf-c

This.
Let your inner butterlord consume everything in your path.
>>343854879
This is seriously fucking crazy.
Someone is going to make a whole fucking new game probably. It doesn't even have to be the same genre as MnB.
At least I hope theres some badass dismemberment mod.
Reminder that anyone who doesn't play the Empire is a filthy feminist Swadian apologist
>>343855134
>you can place your own gangs in cities, even enemy ones and damage the economy
>barter system to buy literally anything
>>343846489
I expect mounts to still be shit.
Shit and Blade: Shitterlord
>>343855382
I thought Swadia came from the empire
>>343853330
Hope so, could you imagine if they got caught in some kurdnigger bombing?
>>343855474
When you ask Harlaus about Isolla, he says something about how back when Swadia had queens they always got their asses kicked by the Empire.
>>343855387
I was thinking more like being able to buy multiple properties per city so that you could have a dyemaker and a textile producer next to each other or something.
But putting street gangs into enemy cities sounds like a hilarious siege option or something .
>>343855649
Can you wife Isolla in Warband? The only time I side with her was in vanilla Mount and Blade.
>>343846489
I think about it pretty much every day. I'm going to update my PC for the first time since I built it literally 8 years ago just to play it. Holy fuck, and the mods. All the shit they've shown has been amazing, tactics are actually viable now because you can see what all the keys do at once and see exactly where your troops will stand. I can't wait to get into a massive battle on a hill, put archers on both sides surrounding a path, charge forward with my cavalry, and bait the enemy into following me down that path until me and the cavalry break off, letting the infantry charge from the front while the archers attack from the sides and me and the cavalry loop around and charge from the rear, totally annihilating them. You can fucking hit multiple people with a swing now. Holy SHIT.
How can turks be so based in creating the Mount & Blade games?
>>343856906
You haven't upgraded your PC in 8 years? How do you exist?
>>343858606
nostalgiafag
>>343858606
I haven't upgraded mine in 9 years desu and I run all the games I like. Some I run on low and I get 40fps but I am not autistic about FPS.
Definitely going to upgrade for this game though.
>>343858804
>>343858765
Dang, I upgrade yearly and I'm kinda obsessed with resolution...Not even rich, it's just all I do.
The only game I am actually looking forward too, a shame it wont have the butterking, I guess I will have to become one myself
>>343859189
Seriously if a machine is good enough to emulate /vr/ games and play games like Mount and Blade or classic PC games that all I need. I can't relate with people who actually buy games once every 1-2 months. The golden rule is that 95% of every new game is probably shit and not worth your precious hours you have in your life, but maybe that's because I don't have the mentality of a 16 year old.
>>343846489
hype as fuck despite the blatant AI issues
>gigantic map
>visuals
>smoother combat
>danker kingdom management
>will never ever go back to total war and suffer its turn-based campaign borefest shit because of larger battles
>more modding support
>will attract larger modding community because it's a new game with a audience hyping it to others (see skyrim)
>lewd mods
>>343858606
Well, maybe it's actually been only 7 years, I don't remember the exact date. I only use my PC for web browsing, emulators, DOOM+Quake, Warband, and watching anime anyways. Everything else I just play on a console, since 98% of the games I like and play are Japanese anyways. I'm a simple man.
I also only play vidya every other week at best, I usually just watch stuff.
>>343859680
I was basically the same minus the anime and after playing so much warband and doom and red orchestra I decided that my interests in games were getting more niche and hard to please as years passed by and I eventually just stopped vidya for a long ass time and went into other hobbies instead.
The combo of my friend picking up RO2 and Butterlord 2 coming out got me back into vidya basically.
>>343855798
I don't think you can in native but I'm pretty sure you can with Diplomacy mod
What's with the widespread Swadian hatred in this thread?
King Harlaus is the one true king of Calridia, and by far the most based NPC in the game.
>>343853094
Did american companies leave the USA because of bombings? is Ubisoft going to leave France because of bombings? You seem to have this wild imagination that bombs are going off on random streets in Turkey regularly.
>>343860771
how do you type with all that butter on your fingers
>>343860772
to be fair it's way more common in Turkey. I doubt it would prompt them to move the whole studio though
>>343860997
isn't the studio in a university?
double the chance to be bombed!
scary
>half the dev team is killed in a university bombing
How do you react?
Can't wait for the Mods since Calradia doesn't interest me much. Modders are already lining up.
http://www.moddb.com/games/mount-blade-ii-bannerlord/mods
>>343852017
Early access before this Christmas, according to their press guy and the company owner.
Game won't be complete before 2018 though.
Can't wait to use some ADVANCED TACTICS.
>>343860006
I'm glad you've got a buddy to play games with, anon.

Curse myself yet again for not visiting old Assyria and Istanbul before this shit started, and instead kept delaying.

No, they don't say that at all. You're imagining things.

>>343861741
Dat horse tho
QUICK, tell us whats your favorite character stereotype:
>heavy shield infantry
>heavy shield infantry (spear)
>heavy pike infantry
>heavy shock infantry
>foot archer
>foot crossbowman
>heavy cavalry (lance)
>heavy cavalry (shield)
>horse archer
I think that covers all popular builds.
Thrown weapons fit into other stuff, they aren't the main theme.
>>343861741
>NOT charging headfirst at the front lines to rally your men and strike fear in the hearts of your enemies
wimp
>>343863015
favorite army stereotype:
all of those except crossbowmen and horse
also I don't participate in battles and just command
>>343863035
>not charging into the flank of the enemy blob as they break themselves onto your shield wall, after having been weakened by your archer troops
Its like you don't even follow the cookie cutter battle plan.
>>343863015
Shock Trooper siege unit
>heavily armored
>siege crossbows, maybe heavy throwing javs
>either 2 handed mauls to crush through blocks or nord n' board to break shields
Not a damn thing more manly in the game.
>>343863227
My favorite and longest played save was one where I didn't fight except to defend myself.
Still haven't properly beaten the game, after around 800 hours of SP, mods and MP. When things devolve to running from castle to castle to lift sieges as the world unites to fight you I end up quitting.
>>343863317
>3 sets of throwing axes and a thick shield
>heaviest armor possible
>fuck horses
And keep the last axe to melee with. Now thats manly.
I wish thrown weapons were move viable in SP, but the player is just expected to kill more enemy troops than the limited ammo and damage allows for.
Godly in MP still, by far my favorite weapon to use.
>>343862190
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx8hrhBZJ98
Every comment with the word "mongolian" in it has some butthurt turk claiming it's turkic, despite the tuva region being literally in between Russia and Mongolia.
>>343863317
>Shock Trooper siege unit
>>heavily armored
Does not compute
>>343863416
r u me
>>343861832
All of the "horde" nations were basically a group of different peoples called after whoever was in charge.
The mongols were a bunch of tribes with the mongols in charge, the huns were a bunch of tribes with the huns in charge, the bulgars were a bunch of tribes with the bulgars in charge, and so on.
There were almost certainly some turks in all of these hordes.
>>343863416
but you don't beat Mount & Blade, the war goes on foreverdoesn't it?
>>343864018
You can conquer all of the cities and castles, and you get a short text message saying you won.
>>343863648
So? Turkics live in that area. And the Tuvan language is Turkic according to wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuvan_language
So they correct some ignorant people who see Turkic as Mongol. You proved my point.
>>343863802
To say that they have turk in them might be accurate, but to say they're turkic, and to especially say they're not even mongolian, is completely inaccurate.
>>343864840
And south african niggers speak Afrikaans, but they sure as shit aint dutch.
>>343865103
Literally completely irrelevant. Why can't you just admit you were wrong instead of bringing up a ridiculous "comparison" like that?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuvans
>The Tuvans or Tuvinians (Tuvan: Tывaлap, Tьvalar/Tıvalar; Mongolian: Tyвa, Tuwa) are a Turkic ethnic group living in southern Siberia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuvan_language
>Tuvan (Tuvan: тывa дыл, tyva dyl; /tʰɯʋa tɯl/), also known as Tuvinian, Tyvan or Tuvin, is a Turkic language spoken in the Republic of Tuva
>>343865319
Because look at that fucker in that youtube video. He's clearly not middle eastern and any turks that he might have descended from have had their blood diluted so much from mixing with mongols that it's just delusional to call him turkic. It's like calling a stereotypical meso-american looking mexican a spaniard.
>>343865850
Retard.
>>343866108
turkroach
>>343865850
Turks are central Asian, not Middle-Eastern.
>>343846489
Why is it called Mount & Blade 2 if there are three other Mount & Blade games before it?
>>343866591
Oh boy you've done it now. He's gonna call you a turkroach. How dare you state facts.
>>343865850
The Turkic peoples are from central Asia. Seljuk Khan led his men from Central Asia into the Middle East during the late 900s. Turks are not native to the middle east though that is where they live now. They were a horse tribe much like the Mongols.
>>343861741
the most advanced tactics is spreading your cav in a single line, charging way ahead of it and jumping over the enemy infantry on your horse, they will all turn around to look at you and get charged in the back by your cavalry because of it
>This kills the horsefucking swadians and mongols
Rhodoks 4 life
>>343867265
Rhodoks are the first faction I exterminate from any playthrough
>>343863035
>>343863283

>>343858804
Holy shit are you me anon? Im buying myself a new PC with a 1080GTX strix to not upgrade in other 9 years lel
>>343867740
I will never forget how i fed 345 nords nothing but butter for months without anything else, the struggle was real and i lose some good men but you cant commit fucking heresy and eat something that isnt butter
>>343861537
I hope they remake Pendor for it.
I've started a new game with Floris recently but now I feel kind of bored. I could join a lord if I want but at the moment I'm just manhunting and accumulating money while bolstering my army with constant manhunter rescues. Where do I go from here? I don't really feel like getting into a grindy war yet, also I like Rhodoks but they've conquered half of Calradia insanely quickly somehow.
>>343872076
You better not be a manhunter
>join shitass nords
>they take dhirim
>vaegir attack it when it only has about 40 men garrisoned there
>they take it
>no effort at all to take it back
>marshal rallies the army
>sieges suno
>gets destroyed by the swadian army
Every time I join a faction they do a bunch of retarded shit to lose every war they go near, if I exit the faction will my enterprises in nord cities stop yielding money?
>>343872285
Yeah it's pretty damn boring. Even with max damage on you just plow over bandits no problem every time.
>>343872076
Never used floris so I don't know how to help
Thinking of starting a new game, my Viking Conquest has grinded down to a halt now Wessex isn't really at war with anyone
>>343873660
I think Floris is pretty great as a straight upgrade to Vanilla if you purely use the gameplay module. The complete one adds a bunch of superflous shit which I think gets in the way.
>>343873819
I've always just used diplomacy.
What does the version you use add?
>>343873908
A lot more items but they aren't stupid or broken in any way, so it just feels like an expanded list. Tournaments are a bit more interesting. A few new companions if you like them and want to fill out your party.
The main thing I like is the new troop trees, which are optional. It does some interesting stuff like giving Rhodoks zweihander elites and light-cavalry armed with crossbows, and giving nords different flavours of infantry rather than just HUSCARLS!
It just all over feels like a whole bunch of little things to keep it more interesting, as well as diplomacy and freelancer improvements to make it more deluxe.
>>343853094
>I don't see why they'd open source their engine otherwise.
Modding is what kept Warband alive for so long and they are aware of that.
More modding = More active community = More sales
Some companies do realize that locking yourself in shit like DRM clients or Denuvo doesn't result in good sales.
>>343874204
That does sound good actually, maybe I will give it a go, thanks.
Am I right in thinking it can come combined with Diplomacy?
>>343873908
just don't install the shield bashing or the new animations
for the love of god, don't install the animations, hitting with a weapon looks like you're a fucking ballerina
>>343874276
Diplomacy is a part of floris. It also adds freelancer, ships, buying acres in cities (less profitable than industry but can go alongside it), loans and new names and titles for things (Rhodoks have a Doge rather than a king, like an Italian republic would have).
>Decide to start out in Khergit territory since I've never done so before
>Get attacked by Steppe Bandits shortly after recruiting 2 guys
>Spend the next 45 minutes chasing horse archers as they eventually run out of arrows
Horsefuckers deserve death.
>>343874753
>Nobody clears out steppe bandits nest near a khergit castle
>Literally nobody tries to go near because bandits now have like 700 man when combined
>>343874753
I hope butterlord improves horse archer ai.
Cant wait to go full mongol.
Is Warsword Conquest any good?

>>343859512
What's the point of lewd mods if there's no sex mods?
>>343875587
Would there even be any other strat for non-siege situations if horse archer ai got improved? Just buy shit tons of arrows.
Hell you could probably mod Warband to do it if you made it so your pack of horse archers all follow the trajectory that you shoot at towards the direction. It won't be accurate like a marksman sure, but you can easily rain on their asses no problem.
You just need a lot of arrows.
Rate my retainers, gaijins.
