Expected Release Q3 21016

I absolutely fell in love with the original Mount and Blade. A truly epic game where you start as a lowly nobody, and have to fight/recruit/conquer your way up. Joining a Faction to fight for betraying them or advancing to become King, starting your own Faction and recruiting new members, and the overall lvl of detail in the game was very nice. And that's all before you got to the incredible fighting system. Non-targetting attacks, a simple yet highly effective system of giving orders to your troops, requiring food/drink to maintain morale, Dueling Tournaments, Open tournaments etc etc.

Only few picks about the game was the AI, keep sieges, size of the map(changed in most Mods), lack of water movement/battle(Mods again) and some of the larger battles got very difficult or just annoying.

Going over the Gameplay demo, looks like the 2nd is going to be absolutely Killer. And that is before all the Modders go to town on it...

Oh snap, Q3 2016 is pretty close

As for the older MnB, got 3k hours spent on it, make that of what you will.

Some years ago i went to visit a friend of mine who was living around 200km away from my city, we hang out, got drunk all night, passed the sunday hangover at his house and went back late evening on the next day, before leaving i told him i leaved some game downloading on his laptop and he should check it out.

He gave the usual reply, "Man, i dont have time for games right now"

Some weeks later first thing he says when he sees me is: "You **********, that game is virtual crack, i been playing it till way too long in the **** night and i am destroyed next day at work"

That game was Mount & Blade warband without any addons.

If its half as good as warband 1, i may even forgive them for Fire & Sword.
