1866 (M&B Modification released for v. 1.011) - June 22: Multiplayer released

[Emperor Taizu]

I just felt like starting a thread for one of the most anticipated mods for M&B.

http://forums.taleworlds.net/index.p...c,30110.0.html

Released for v. 1.011

External Forum: http://z9.invisionfree.com/1866_Wild...Mod/index.php?
This forum is set up because this thread has become very un-clear recently. We will see, if it turns out to be a good idea. Please help by showing activity there.

Setting:
It's a few years after the civil war in the western part of the United States. In the north there are Apaches and Comaches, from the south Mexican bandits raid the US villages. Join the US Army and become an honest man or lend your hand to a bandit chief for a fistfull of Dollars.

This is a mod that aims at bringing an atmosphere of the most famous western movies to Mount and Blade. The historical accuracy does not have priority.

Very cool mod in my opinion, but it would seem that the mod will be on hold for M&B v1.0 though. What are your thoughts?

Sorry to disappoint. This thread is intended for discussion of the mod since there is no thread for it here. But don't worry, I'll PM you first thing when it's released.

[ivan_the_terrible]

I'll PM you first thing when it's released.

Thats quite alright, you dont have to do that.

[Legionary Jezza]

Lol So did I was thinking woooo 18th century then the big bold letters always bring bad news lol.

[jankren]

The reloading animation looks more like wanking. LOL

[ccllnply]

You mean the wanking animation looks more like reloading

I've got to try this sometime. Looks nice. I've never even played Mount & Blade before though. Is it free?

You can download the trial version on their website, but you can only go up to level 6 as a character. If you can afford $25, you can buy the game from their website by basically getting an unlock code to unlock the trial version. Also, whether you have the full or trial version, you can still download the mods that are available here or at the Taleworlds forum. But, I would highly recommend getting the full version as it is at a discounted price.

Though the HBO series Deadwoods takes place sometime after 1866, I do hope they include Al Swearengen as an NPC

[Emperor Taizu]

I think the mod is almost dead.
