BANNERLORD

And STILL no release date in sight.

At this rate, fucking Overgrowth will release before this.

I hope that doesn't make it into the final game. Hell I'd wait until 2020 if it means they'd sort shit like that out.

While I know they're showing off the fighting because that's what'll attract the normies, I wish they'd hurry up and show the overworld/political stuff off.

I wish they would show more than just the battles.

>>380129748

still pumped after all these years, the only thing I find worrisome is the lack of screaming, nobody is battle crying and Im worried

>>380131784
you mean just like the first

>>380132535
Calling it a graphical update is a bit extreme. You've got actual shit to do in cities now and a far more involved world in general. Can't wait honestly.

>>380129748
Some new features that have been confirmed. Quotes from an article

>Advanced Formations – Merge and split forces at your behest, with intuitive but powerful control over the movement, form and behavior of every unit! Order heavy infantry to hold together, shoulder-to-shoulder in a slowly advancing but near impenetrable shield wall; or launch your cavalry in lightning charges using the skein formation.

>Battlefield AI – AI commanders can execute complex tactics, utilizing the advanced formation options to present a formidable challenge. Their behavior is drawn from actual historical tacticians, for example Alexander the great, who used his superior cavalry forces to rout their counterparts in the opposing army, before delivering a crushing blow to the enemy’s main force. This not only creates the feeling of an authentic medieval battle but also proves effective in-game, as in reality.

>Sergeant System – Commanders now designate units to other lords in battle, including the player! Execute the orders issued by your commander throughout the fight, and use your own instincts to do your part and help secure victory on the field of battle. Lead the horse archers as they skirmish and harass the enemy to disrupt their lines before your allies finish them off, or take control of the cavalry and charge into the fray to devastate entire units at once!

>And STILL no release date in sight.

This little retard is actually complaining about the lack of a release date in a time when 99% of games are released broken, rushed, and buggy.

No, you fucking idiot. We should thank the fucking stars that there is no release date for M&B: Bannerlord. The longer it takes for a release date to be announced, the more likely a game will be better on release.

>>380133950
>The longer it takes for a release date to be announced, the more likely a game will be better on release.

yeah dude just like duke nukem, wasnt that game great?

>>380133950

I'd prefer A game instead of NO game.

And no, feature creep does not make a game better. Neither does iterating the same thing 700 times before it's done, it just screams lack of direction.

>>380133567
not only that but the new physics, AI and advanced battle commands all look great

>>380134503
yeah dude thats exactly what im doing, im glad you read my post.

>>380131784
Then just don't buy it until it releases fully. There's nothing stopping you from just not buying it in early access.

>>380133776
that they have a skeleton crew working on one of their most anticipated titles

I really hope the battlemap simulation side of things is more in-depth and everyone plays by the same set of rules including the AI.

I hated that AI commanders could basically spawn soldiers that cost no upkeep out of thin air. You'd completely crush an enemy force, rape their lands, kill all their fighting men, but if you wait a week the king would respawn with a party of 1000+ dudes he couldn't possibly pay for since he only had like 3 holdings in his realm. I hope that if the wars carry on for years and the fighting is intense enough depopulation becomes a serious issue because the whole region is running out of bodies capable of fighting. Since by that point anyone capable of walking in formation and carrying a spear is already dead and the next generation has no one to raise them, so the economy collapses, you can't recruit anyone and then your neighbors decide this might be the chance to wipe you off the map entirely.

>>380135597

So Swadia gets raped even harder? Yeeeah.

I hope they add a sprint button or something that makes getting around a battle on foot less of a slog.

or, at least, if they're going to keep that kind of mechanic in, at least make quests/exploring/companions/standard RPG stuff more interesting so that there's something to do in the big picture other than play gimped geopolitics

Just started playing. Why are the controls so ass? Why can't I couch my lance on a 30 speed horse? How come the only way to progress is to fight bandits which appear at random?

>>380136737

>Why can't I couch my lance on a 30 speed horse?

I remember the old lances. Hoo boy those things were the fucking instruments of divine retribution, able to chain kill entire armies. That's the reason you can't do that now and why they have a cooldown.

>>380136737
You can change most of the controls, but they're honestly fine. Because otherwise Lances are pure death and unfun to play with/against. You could try trading, selling slaves, doing guild master missions, doing work for lords, fighting in the arena and tournaments.

>always a pleasure to have Mount and Blade at our PC Gaming Show
No fucking shit, god damn it, next year E3 we might get a different trailer and another distinct lack of release date.

Fuck sakes

>>380136737
Tournaments, becoming a mercenary, and doing jobs for lords are good ways to progress early game, especially if you know what faction you will want to join up with eventually because you will want to get in good with some lords early on.

>>380137726
10/10

You guys realize E3 only starts tomorrow and they still have a lot to show?

>>380137490
>>380138550
The tourney fighters oneshot me. I've managed to make it to round 5 still but it just never ends.

Some faggot set all the difficulty options to Easy so I set them back to Normal, is that bad?

Sucks the game is a prequel. Means that anything you do will inevitably be null and void in game canon.

I swear if there isn't a Mongol conquest DLC/Mod for Bannerlord, I will cry.

Those Khergit's look amazing.

>>380129748
Reminder that AAA games with huge dev teams have taken just as long to make, and Taleworlds is small. The only mistake they made was announcing it so early in development.

>>380139719
Fucking nobody gives a hot shit about the lore in Mount & Blade dude.

>>380129748
Why did the game run like shit in the presentation?

>>380139887
Literally just make your own Mongol Kingdom and start conquering

>>380139936
That's exactly the problem though. We have been teased for so fucking long now.

>>380129748
Same pathetic weak shit: no regiments, floaty combat, retarded AI - into the trash it goes

>>380140143
Because they use proper alpha builds instead of heavily scripted demo builds from AAA developers that are nothing like the actual game.

>>380129748
Berserk dlc when?

>>380139887
>Khergits
>Mongols
Hundred percent sure Khergits are based on T*rkics considering developers are T*rkish and T*rks are known for being "We wuz khanzz" tier LARPers. For fucks sake even the city names are Turkic.

Yeah I have a lot of respect for Taleworlds based off how they have been showcasing Bannerlord. No Bullshit, just game.

I tried showing some to a normie friend once, he said it looked bad, then went on to talk about some cgi trailer.

>>380135597
One dev blog mentioned the AI and player have relatively level playing field: for instance, when you destroy a lord's army, the lord cannot raise troops quickly unless he has a pre-existing garrison. However, in order to recruit more troops the lord may have to raise taxes, thus risk peasant revolts. In addition, if desperate the lord may turn into crime.

either the pink or lavender-coloured faction I guess. for some reason I can't really explain I always wanted to travel southeast from the border between the sarranids and the khergits. iirc there was a really weird pile of rocks they used to block off some mountain pass down there. no idea why I remember this

judging by the names they're not just proto-khergit and proto-sarranid cultures, there's something else going on there

From the Wiki

>The Calradic Empire is where the Players find themselves involved at the beginning of the game. While far past the height of its power, the Empire's military has been honed throughout the generations and is still a force to be reckoned with, employing cataphracts and spearmen along with archers to devastating effect.

>The Vlandians are a feudal state that specializes in heavy cavalry.

>The Sturgians inhabit the northern woodlands and are lethal axe-men and swordsmen.

>The Aserai inhabit the more desertic lands of Calradia and combine footmen and horsemen in battle.

>The Khuzaits are a steppe tribe and make heavy use of horse archery.

I hope they also greatly flesh out politics, but not in a tedious manner; though, I would love to see some of what you're wanting.
