EDIT: Oh I see this really is an official Talesworld thing.

"So what does this mean? Well, first of all - Mount&Musket: Battalion doesn’t exist anymore. It is now Mount&Blade Warband: Napoleonic Wars - a multiplayer-only DLC that you can buy for Mount & Blade: Warband. We hope you will find it even more enjoyable than the mod ever was."

Gaaaaah. Bloody DLC whoring these days.

Curses.

Looks like M&B devs played to much of Total War games. I like those games too, but theres enough shooters out there. And this looks like you play vs the cpu with bots. Why would you want to play line infantry in a 3rd person shooter.

If they really want to make a game like this they need something like the Battlefield 3 engine add cannons and make the map deformable, meaning grenade holes and whatnot.

Form a historic point of view artillery was one of the most important factors in those battles.
DLC as new content - fine with me. But not that time period and with guns.

Earlier time like romans & mongols (around year 500) would be cool. But not guns.

Paradox is copying Valve who did with with mods like counter-strike and team fortress. Offer to publish it, give them the chance to turn their mod into a professional game.

Paradox has already done this for modding projects with some of their strategy games, like HOI2 and EU3, now doing it for M&M. Would not be surprised if this is project Asinus too.

 Personally I think it's great, Devs will get some compensation for their work, and focus their energy full time into this game we love, and will get technical support also from taleworlds/paradox. Maybe they will be able to get Stronghold mode working, and finish the resource economy in Strategus with this backing?

How dare they ask money for Counter-Strike.
Title: Re: Mount & Blade Warband: Napoleonic Wars
Post by: Nessaj on March 30, 2012, 11:10:04 pm
The original CS was still free even after it became an official mod, you could just buy it as a part of package which included both Half-Life 1 and Counter-Strike since you would need a HL1 key to play anyway, as it works with MNB and its free mods. Nothing sinister there.

CS:S is another story though (noob version of real CS!) and today sadly they're pimping the original CS with the "updated" (shitty) version Condition Zero forced upon you, hence the price, quite poor by Valve to not just let people download it for free, but it has more to do with them wanting to evolve the Counter-Strike brand which means limiting the use of other CS versions.

They are just calling it DLC so they don't confuse people on steam...it's really a proffessional total converison mod...

Like Fire and Sword was, and which was also based on real life nations. Also a professional total conversion mod, but was licensed by taleworlds before paradox started publishing M&B.

Caladria itself is basically real world conflicts but abstracted a bit. Originally it was just Swadians vs. Vaegers, Swadians were more Byzantines+Latins, Vaegers were kind of Turks+Bulgarians and the conflict was set in an abstracted Anatolia.

Then they added Nords & Khergits which was a bit more obvious, then some other more obvious cultures with Warband.

People going on about DLC being not worth it: Wrong-o. warband itself is just a big piece of DLC for old mount and blade, and you dont whine about that. they get a mod, release it as DLC, mod makers get money, mod makers make games, games are good. this is a big chance for future game developers to really get into the business. if someone can go on there computer, buy a game, make a mod. and eventually end up with people paying for it? that is true greatness

+1 to that. When Warband was released it was described (and still is) as a STANDALONE EXPANSION. It seems people have forgotten that.

Looks like M&B devs played to much of Total War games. I like those games too, but theres enough shooters out there. And this looks like you play vs the cpu with bots

That vs bots is just a game mode like Rage ball is for here.

With all due respect, calling adding multiplayer a big piece of DLC means you have no idea whatsoever of the work involved on the technical side and maybe should avoid talking about things you don't know well.

Is expansion the right word? And wasn't there much more that was added with Warband than just the expansion. Haven't played Vanilla M&B in ages so I can't remember the details :/

For me it's pretty much this:
DLC is small additions like extra quests, items story etc.
Expansion: is a LOT of extra content but still using the same engine or a small rework of it. (I know "small" is relative)
Sequel (prequels too, I guess): Same series, but it's a new engine.

Warband is then an expansion I guess. I don't really know the details about the engine.

No matter what. I really like that they done this and am definitely going to buy it. Good to see modders being acknowledged and getting recognition and more from the developers.

The same developers who:
- left a (known and reported) bug affecting everyone that causes CTDs unfixed for months (and still counting)
- refuse to fix several game bugs because they would have to break network compatibility, forcing server owners to upgrade (gee, what a daunting task)
- promised several things to give more visibility to the modding community (dev blogs and such) and delivered nothing
- are so trusted to develop M&B2 in time that Paradox decided to publish War of The Roses

Thanks, but no thanks.

Thanks, but no thanks.

These are pretty minor quibbles for the game... Taleworld relied on modders to drive game content since the beginning, and has continuously done major work to increase moddability. Are they perfect? No... Who is, but the bottom line is that M&B is a gem, and  supports modders, and this is reflected cuz the game has a strong modding community still.

M&B2 won't be out probably until mid-2013 at earlier. War of Roses is out in a few months. War of the Roses will have a much shallower scope than M&B2 (most likely). I don't see how Paradox publishing it is due to a lack of faith in Taleworlds. If anything they hope it will bring more people into their overall "medieval action community" who will become fans and aware of the sub-genre, and buy M&B2 as well.

Of course you might not have noticed because it was fixed by yours truly, but it's a huge deal, not a minor quibble.

Taleworld relied on modders to drive game content since the beginning, and has continuously done major work to increase moddability. Are they perfect? No... Who is, but the bottom line is that M&B is a gem, and  supports modders, and this is reflected cuz the game has a strong modding community still.

It's funny how you speak about all that stuff without any experience in the matter. Try modding Warband for a while and when you'll have to resort to all kinds of hacks to do even the simplest of things you'll see that the support you praise is not as good as you might think.
Obviously you are entitled to your opinion on Warband but lecturing me about modding it is just :lol:

NW is a lot of fun. If you love it, join a regiment. Training + linebattles are much more fun and intense fighting. You will love it.

I'm just curious how laggy the bigger linebattles (~ 200) will be... was quite bad in M&M on Sundays.. still playable though.

But yes, if you want to play this game weekly, join a regiment. There are so many events!

Well I joined myself the biggest french regiment (IV Corps) a week ago and we had some nice events on the mod before the DLC was released but what we played tonigh was just pure awesomeness, a linebattle with 200 players and no lag at all on our server. The end was an epic cavalry charge on a square (imagine 100 horses charging together), hope I can show a vid in some days.
I can only agree with Miwiw, you will enjoy the game much more in a regiment taking part of big organized event.

This DLC is pure win btw.

Nice. I am a bit afraid I will lag with 200 people. Well, today, Sunday, there is the Sunday Linebattle with a full server. We will see if it will lag.

In 51st we had so many new recruits during the last days so we had a fancy training today with 65 people. So amazing seeing one line with that amount...

I haven't laughed this hard while playing a game in a long time and highly recommend it.  There's some lag issues and bugs but it's got tons of potential.

My favorite thing is you can pilot boats aka failboats because sometimes they sink after getting shot up and often get direct hits by cannon fire.  There's outhouses with toilets that you can sit on, pianos you can play in the middle of a battle, an engineer class which lets you build all kinds of barricades and little forts.  I think the people who liked building forts on the cRPG battle servers would love this game. 

I'd like to see a pure sea battle map, two fixed position ships of the line with destructible sides and fully stocked with cannon and swivel guns on the deck.  Then maybe skiffs that respawned behind the ships every minute so boarding parties could set out for the other ship.

- try to climb a glitched, half destroyed wall
- get shot
- keep running

And low fps. Maybe the map was just shit, though.

One thing I find hilarious about this game... That awkward moment when you charge into melee with someone and they...actually block!? Your brain can't comprehend this for a moment. A NW player blocking? You check the log after one of you dies. Oh, its X from cRPG. Now it makes sense =D.

Happened to me quite a few times last night. Surprisingly, on one of the servers there was actually a discussion on how blocking is useless. How "The system sucks promotes spamming". I was just playing around with the sapper bombs and was 1-9. (Axe melee kill when I couldn't ignite it in time). Decided to go officer for a sword and got fourth place on my team in two lives before the map ended. People just don't block...I feel like Goretooth 1shotting peasants left and right in there.

The swords are good, especially the light cav sabre, but yeah the musket is probably the best melee weapon.  Last night I did a one man bayonet charge up a crumbled wall into a fort and did the cRPG arrow dodging wiggle dance™ while about 10 people shot at me then went on a bayonet rampage while they all tried to reload.  :) 

I'm looking forward to joining a regiment but want to wait and see which one is on the most often when I play.

I've found the only thing ruining my blocking is lag. A server with 150-200 people on, which the servers don't seem particularly well suited to handle (constant shifting pings all around), can really screw me up sometimes. But with a good connection the bots are more dangerous than general NW players. The bayonets insane damage makes melee fights incredibly easy with any semblance of blocking.

But with a good connection the bots are more dangerous than general NW players. The bayonets insane damage makes melee fights incredibly easy lame with any semblance of blocking.
fixed.

yeah there is a serious problem with ping/lag and hitboxes in this game, the big servers give you very high ping and even with 30 ping it often feels like you have 300. I dunno how they managed to break the engine so much, 150 player crpg is silky smooth compared.

the overhead stab animation is really fucked up aswell (part of problem is my natural reaction to block down). most the swords in the game are way too short/low damage that they are useless, the bayonett is easily the most powerful mele weapon. not only far superior reach and animations, it hits faster and seems to do way more damage.

the game has made me laugh my pants off a fair few times, the music and boats are really fun. the cannons and rockets are really cool.

however overall I think the game is pretty wank, for same reasons I didn't like the original mod really. so I knew I shouldn't buy it, but I did.

fighting is just not nearly as fun or smooth. mele is as discussed is wank and gun fighting just isn't fun either, very long reload times and inaccuracy mean its simply tedious, and little skill involved. obviously part of this is just the time it is set, but the game has nothing on warband's medievil combat & setting except awesome instruments.

The only thing irritating so far is the server lag with alot of bots on, and some of the maps.  There are more than a few shit maps and its to the point where most prefer to do random plains or random steppes.

So is there anywhere you have to sign up to join the 104th or is it just anyone from crpg can join and put the tag in their name?

If long reloads aren't your thing, use the Cavarly Musket. Taleworlds says it is less accurate, but I don't notice the diff. (Have double gunned in order to test)

One things for sure, it reloads A LOT faster than the musket, not as fast as pistol obv. Also, melee is fun with it :). Takes 3-4 hits, but beating them down with the rifle while they try to bayonet you is priceless :). Especially cause blocking sideswings is so foreign to these players...

hehehe. I just LOVE riflebutting in this game. Sure, you deal 1/4 the damage as a bayonet (which is around 90-100) but since so few know what sideswings are, the speed is fast, and the animations are SWEEEEEEEEET, it's just so much more fun!

Just got my rank now: 104th_Riflebatter_Jarlek :D
