Thread: MBC (Mount & Blade Center)

  1. #1

    Icon3 MBC (Mount & Blade Center)

    Ok this is strictly to get feedback on what other members such as myself think. I know there is a council for these kind of decisions, but I just want to see a show of hands regarding what the common community thinks in regards to Mount & Blade.

    As you may note Mount & Blade is very popular game here, just check the Circus Maximus for it's thread. I believe it deserves it's own section next to EU so I can start a new thread on screenshots!

    No really I'd like to see the "Center" expand and this game is one well liked here, but also one of a historical period that is of particular interest and relevant to the current Medieval theme we got going on.

    So I hereby propose a forum section devoted to Mount & Blade. A place were we can organize and share our thoughts and screenshots without having dig through the entire lengthy existing thread. A place were we can list mods so they are easy to find and especially a place to keep up with this mod in particular:

    Calradia: Total War


    So to my Lords and Ladies, Knights and Freemen what doth ye say!?

    I'm a keen fan of Mount and Blade; and think it has a good enough fan base to justify its own sub forum as Europa Universalis currently has. I would support such a move (though my support counts for nothing - I cannot even vote in the poll yet), and it is a game in keeping with the total war 'feeling', being combat & historically based, and representing the same era as M2TW.

    The fact that it is not produced by a major commercial company adds to its appeal and it would benefit the makers to increase its profile. As far as potential fan base, I think M&B's can only gow - it available free to tryout, the makers are working on improving it; and then there are the amazing mods that are being produced - including the ever popular 'Last Days' mod.

    Theres the added bonus of lack of competition, for in contrast to other games (like WoW), the only major website as far as I know is the Taleworlds forum; and in comparison to twc its mebers appear childish and it lacks -I feel- that community feel to it. I'm sure there would be many who would appreciate an alternative; perhaps even modifications could be lured over; an important factor in any gaming community.

    However, I feel a 'Mount and Blade Centre" may be too much too soon, and the first step would be to have the same set up as EU currently has.

    Certainly should especially with the mod potential. There are already some good looking ones out there!

    I'm kind of torn on this issue. Although I love Mount&Blade, I think the community is too small for another split. There's already sort of a rift between the official forum and the MBX mod forums. The community just isn't large enough for a 3rd forum. What will this TWC subforum do that will be better than the 2 other existing forums? Will it have a unique purpose, or is it just another "me too" forum? I don't think we need that.

    However, I'm sure a subforum here will give M&B a lot of needed advertisement and perhaps entice more people to check it out, which I'm all for. I think I'm going to abstain in this vote unless I'm convinced one way or the other.

    I here by support this sub-fourm, I don't think it will take anything away from TWC as everyone will still visit the rest of TWC for the common community and TW related stuff.

    BTW, if you guys don't follow the Curia at all, this sort of "expansion" is exactly what has been talked about recently, they even had a comity for it and discussed the possibility of even creating separate sites for very popular games (with a direct link back to the TWC common community, or something similar), so I'm pretty sure that not many in the Curia would oppose a M&B sub-forum, as long as there is support for it here.

    I've already given you one purpose aside from satisfying the TWCINIAI

    Sorry if the question of my post was a little ambiguous, I would expect a subforum is a start, but would certainly be in support a MBC if the subforum became active enough.

    I throw my hat in with those who want a subforum, I think it would be a good move.

    However, the game is not big enough for a sister site, not yet.

    well, then should this be proposed in the Curia? or is there some other way going about making a new sub-forum?

    also, it would be nice if more people throw in their support of such a sub-forum, so we know that it wont be empty!
