New Dev Blogs for Mount&Blade II: Bannerlord

**Påsan** · September 07, 2014, 11:59 AM

In the Sagas, Jomsvikings were regarded as the best warriors out of all the Norsemen. Likely they are going to be an high-tier elite mercenary force.

Also since its the Byzantines, The Vangarian Guard mercenaries might show up too...

*coming fast from a distance* YOU GUYS!! You guys gotta see this, it´s ....*gasp*it´s.....*gasp*...ok. It´s so sweet you guys, taleworlds just released a new devBlog and it´s soo keeewl!!

Oh my, that's rather pretty and the editor seems rather friendly.

**Markas** · September 27, 2014, 01:55 PM

Amazing, isn't it? But I think that's not the actual map, but rather a demonstration of what their engine can do. They also said the map will be much larger than the one from Warband, with hundreds of agents acting independently.

Dat glimpse of the duel at the end of the video...

Later edit: it seems the modding community will benefit from that powerful editor as well, or at least some version of it.

I'm going to be very impressed if they truely deliver on this, and not the battle map/scene editor, but the campagin map and character/items editors as well. In short I like what I've seen but I'm really missing some basic combat demostrations and forexample how collision physics are going to be e.g. heavy cavalry crashing into a group of infantry (both braced, and unprepared). I also hope that scenes can be a lot more populated (they kinda said so) than previously, because cities and whatnot just felt dead to me.

Music being in game confirmed.

**SPECTREtm** · January 23, 2015, 02:54 AM

So after many months all we get is some half-decent music? I'd be far more interested in seeing just a tiny bit of a screenshot of the campaign map or some micro glimpses of how a battle will be like.

I'm not advocating for TaleWorlds to go down the same route as CA, spewing blatant lies about their product and overhyping it, but something in between CA's ADHD marketting and TaleWorlds lack of communication would be very nice.

**Markas** · March 26, 2015, 06:43 PM

Dunno if you've seen this Pasan, it's old but quite informative.

**Karnil Vark Khaitan** · March 28, 2015, 06:01 AM

Well it looks good, I am going to look forward for this one.

**Flavius Julius Nepos Augustus** · April 13, 2015, 04:37 PM

They may develop it for yet 2 more years I am not done with warband and its mods

That was a great video, thanks for showing that!
M&B Prequel? Medieval Roman-based faction? Old Caliphates-based faction? Deeper political mechanics? Hellz yeah! I can't wait for this game!!

One thing that irked me, however, is how the person that made that video butchered some pronunciations. Grr...

**Påsan** · May 05, 2015, 07:41 PM

I think he was flat out wrong on the Rhodocs, they were pretty obviously Italian while the new faction is Celtics.

**PerXX** · May 13, 2015, 07:59 AM

No mention of the leaked Alpha images from January?

Suggests formations and a fairly high number of troops might be a thing.
Graphics are hardly looking impressive, but it is alpha, and (being guessed) to be at low settings.
