Title: cRPG 2 : what setting would you prefer ?
Post by: Ujin on March 31, 2012, 10:52:29 am: Hi. I think this could become a rather interesting discussion that can go on for quite some time . Obviously it's all in theory as we don't know for sure if there will ever be MnB 2 (projects and studios can get cancelled these days) or cRPG 2.

Personally, as much as i love variety and different cultures ( i.e. japanese, chinese etc) i think after all i'd love to see the new cRPG in a more or less strict setting, taking Medieval 2 :Total War as an example (or Crusader Kings). So~ 10-15th century, covering most of the known world of that time (muslims of middle east,spain and north africa, pagan nomads, byzantines, europeans, russia) with the exception perhaps of India, China-Korea and Japan (different theatres of warfare, except for maybe their relations with the Mongols) , basically just look at the maps of Crusader Kings or M2:TW.

I think that kind of setting will provide more than enough variety in gear and cultures to pick without making it look too chaotic and surrealistic , like some kind of a Deadliest Warrior parody.

Now don't get me wrong , i'd love to use a nodachi or play as a legionairee from time to time, but i'd rather wait to do it in some other great mods .

So what do you think ?

Post by: Ganner on March 31, 2012, 10:58:06 am: Honestly I would prefer a more western euro specific mod. When I picture a game about knights, heraldry, kings, intrigue, and empires I think England, France, Italy, and Germany.

Sure the crusades had is fair share of the history but im looking for something in 100 years war era.

At least add countries like Hungary and Poland to that list then . And why forget the reconquista in Spain ? =)

Post by: Thanatos on March 31, 2012, 11:44:38 am: I'd rather have Western European conflicts seperated from Eastern European conflicts.

The Hundred Years War
The Reconquista
The Italian States fighting each other

etc...

Post by: Materia on March 31, 2012, 12:03:32 pm: Medieval Period, concentrated on the Asian countries and wars. -> with main focus on Japan.

Definitely NOT for reneissance.
Title: Re: cRPG 2 : what setting would you prefer ?
Post by: Teeth on March 31, 2012, 12:06:50 pm: This mod would lose a shit load of items if the setting would be limited to Medieval Europe only. I would still like it though, get a more realistic look to the game. We would just have to make more items, but that is a slow process so far. The dev team should get a hold of a good modeller themselves instead of having to rely on the community or OSP's.

I think only the western countries would be too limited. The Spanish kings, which I consider western did fight muslims and Poland, also a western country in my book, had conflicts with the more eastern countries. Would be a grave injustice to leave them out, while they were quite important in the Middle Ages. So yes, the Medieval Total War idea. All those nations can be considered the same theatre of war. Whereas China is a totally different theatre of war.

But even a strict medieval Europe setting poses some problems. Should you leave Vikings in? 11th century Vikings fighting 15th centure knights never happened. Its difficult to determine where to draw a line.

Still, I would like to see Renaissance time period, cause that was stylish and awesome. Then you can hardly leave gunpowder out, which I wouldn't mind, but the dev team probably will.

Post by: Polobow on March 31, 2012, 12:32:21 pm: As much as i prefer a medieval-era only in the europe lands, i prefer having no limits to cultures. Having alot of armors and items appeal to more people than if we only had 1 culture. F.e., when some people wanted to remove the ninja gear. People hated it, but also some people would leave if they couldn't use their Ninjas gear anymore. I prefer player population over my own perfect idea of aesthetics.

Title: Re: cRPG 2 : what setting would you prefer ?
Post by: Ninja_Khorin on March 31, 2012, 12:47:27 pm: As much variety as possible. The only japanese thingy that's missing is a naginata, but that can be compensated somewhat with hafted blades and/or military scythe, so I'm not too worried about that. What I would like to see is the inclusion of indian, chinese, afghan, african tribal and much more.

And in strat the crafting of different items would take place in different areas of the map. So if you want asian gear, you have to go to an "asian" region.

This would hopefully lead to the larger factions fighting over the european/arabian regions, since they are the most popular culture and has the best gear and variation in gear. The smaller factions would have to settle with lesser regions with worse equipment and/or variation like africa, japan, india etc. The regions should be relatively far away from eachother to discourage factions leaving their preferred zones to muck up with the smaller clans. And if it leads to one clan controlling one region, then at least it'll look hilarious when the large clans start trying to conquer new regions.

I find current strategus to be horribly uninteresting due to smaller clans not being able to participate in any meaningful way. My idea would also lead to interesting cultures clashing together instead of watching everyone in kuyaks or the different coloured mail jackets duke it out.

This would hopefully make it possible for clans(like ninjas) fight in strategus with our style, without getting steamrolled by shielders and heavy armour and cavalry. :wink:

I love the diversity as well, but I draw the line at mix/matching shit. A samurai fighting a caveman? Awesome! A guy in samurai armor and a plate helm with a a scimitar and a plate shield fighting a tincan who wields a no-dachi? Terribly, painfully retarded. Maybe give armor sets bonuses, or penalties if not matched?
Title: Re: cRPG 2 : what setting would you prefer ?
Post by: autobus on March 31, 2012, 12:55:50 pm: No Limits and boundaries whatsoever , the more variety the better.
Let the player decide the setting he wants to play in and give him armor/weapon range according to his setting.
Basically what nooberyn said.

Post by: Arn_Magnusson on March 31, 2012, 01:05:53 pm: Hard to vote on something so I'll just write it.
I'd like to see more Europiean medieval armors and weapons, esspecialy weapons from western Europe, also some new ranged weapons to make it bit diversity, also some equipment from Maurs and some templar armours, non heraldic just with cross on it, also I'd like to see bunch of new armours, from different parts of the world, just make more of them!
Title: Re: cRPG 2 : what setting would you prefer ?
Post by: Christo on March 31, 2012, 01:13:50 pm: The more diversity, the better.

But sometimes, less is more, think about all the balancing and stuff.

Personally I'd like to see more about Hungary, Middle-Eastern, and Asian cultures.
Something like Korea, or China would be pretty interesting.

I also like Oberyn's set bonus idea.

Post by: HarunYahya on March 31, 2012, 01:23:45 pm: Well this mod is unique for us , medieval nerds .
Some of us want to rp saracens
Some of us want to rp templars
Some of us want to rp saxons
Some of us want to rp vikings
Some of us want to rp scots
Some of us want to rp samurais
Some of us want to rp zhe germans
Some of us want to rp slavs
Some of us want to rp turks
Some of us want to rp mongols
Some of us want to rp polish
Some of us want to rp italic states

This mod satisfies us all .

I disagree on renassaince period though because if you add cuirass armors , we going to need pistols to pierce that , if you add pistols we gonna cry for cannons and we gonna end up playing With Fire and Sword .

I disagree on roman items aswell because their armors and weapons are reallly outdated compared to what we have atm.
I would love to play a Roman period cRPG but blending it into current cRPG would fail imo.

Post by: Lars on March 31, 2012, 03:07:08 pm: Any kind of weapons/armors ( from different cultures) would be good imo, but they should be from the same period.
The best period imo would be the end of the "early" middle ages , (i dunno, maybe something around the years 900-1000) to 1300-1400 .

Last time I checked the bulk of the Rhodok, Khergit, Vaegir, Swadian and Rhodok items were renamed to reflect their real world medieval counterparts. This is no longer Calradia.

You can still find some remnants though, like the elite armors for an example.

For cRPG, I'd like to have it as we do now, but without the silly "Plate helm, samurai armour, Scimitar and Huscarl shield" setup some people have.
Title: Re: cRPG 2 : what setting would you prefer ?
Post by: B3RS3RK on March 31, 2012, 06:14:20 pm: The Problem imo is that there are sooo many AWESOME Time Periods!

I mean, ancient greece - awesome
Rome - awesome
Medieval times - awesome
Renaissance - pretty awesome, too

It´s all freaking awesome.

Which is why I would like cRPG like it is now but with even more stretched boundaries, have roman and maybe ancient greek and celtic gear etc.

I think cRPG could only profit from that.

But no weaboo stuff.Period.

Post by: Entaro on March 31, 2012, 06:33:22 pm: I'd also prefer the western Europe medieval setting along the lines of 100 Years War, but the current state of cRPG doesn't bother me with all the goofy items.

Probably a good question to ask along with setting is time period. In cRPG we have Japanese stuff & viking gear along with some gunpowder era items "because they are cool", so it is really a hodgepodge right now. I still don't like the Samurai stuff, but I get that a lot of people are Jap crazy.

Deadliest warrior parody, good analogy. :lol:

Title: Re: cRPG 2 : what setting would you prefer ?
Post by: Thomek on March 31, 2012, 06:47:17 pm: Well.. first of all:

Have a clear vision of what the mod will be like and stick to it!

cRPG is a good a example of what process and time can do. It works and is fun because we have a common understanding of what it means to us. It is made step by step, with game mechanics always in the front seat. The mood is unique because it is made by the players themselves.

Now all that is good, and take these experiences into cRPG2. :) Having a collaborative spirit and a semi-open process like we have is also great, as it gives great loyalty to the playerbase, and allows mixing of thoughts and resources between devs and players.

But.

Please try to imagine some more specific "world" or vision for cRPG(2). A concrete collection of ideas to what it will FEEL LIKE to play the game. Connect with an artist like Kajia, send her pictures, poems, texts, films, music, whatever is close to your vision, and make her draw 20 versions of the same image until it's exactly what you feel. Then show this picture to others, and see if they get it.

Now, the great thing is that you can imagine whatever the fuck you want. You are not bound to try and replicate the feeling of the "classic romantic" medieval times, or the standard current "classic romantic, BUT GRITTY!" that we see in movies these days.

It could be a filthy FILTHY version of medieval, with dirty and smelling, unhealthy as fuck characters (and armor and weapons). Fighting in a similar dirty world.
It could be a kind of Valhalla where fighters from all over the world die and live to fight every day with their armies. (My fav..:) )
It could be an ultra violent game, where you put great effort into modding the graphics and sounds.
It could be a complete parody of the medieval genre, with focus on humour.
It could be whatever the fuck :) But it should be Original of course. Maybe you should even ask the players for their ideas. All of us should go to bed, stare into the roof, and imagine our dream game.

So basically. I'm not worried that cRPG2 would have great gameplay and understanding of game. This is what irc has proved they have already. I'm more worried about lack of creativity and strong vision.

Cook up a vision, and sell it to us.
We will come along.

Oh.. and this process can start Now.

Of course they took some inspiration from real-life counterparts, and that's all well and good, but I'm sure there are people like me who play the game just for the gameplay mechanics (however slip-shod they are from time to time) and to create their own little narrative. It's not like I can actually use the fauchard and other forked weapons to hook my opponents', break pikes with the flameberge, grapple with a dagger, etc. so why would I want strict period based equipment, that I'm more or less assuming had their own martial styles, when all I want to do is party in Veluca before it becomes part of a faction? It's why I don't play the total war games, I don't want something simultaneously historically based but then have very little actual history happen.

The core of what makes cRPG great and unique.

No one is forcing a semi-bad narrative or style down your throat. I think whatever the new incarnation of cRPG would be it should make room for this, and create a setting roomy enough for it. But still make it stronger than what it is now if you catch my drift..

Post by: Sir Gilinor on March 31, 2012, 09:18:12 pm: Yea, I like exactly what Ujin said. If we were to do just Western Europe, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much variety (yes, Western European countries did have their differences, but they all had the same sort of essence and equipment most of the time, at least, for the common foot-soldier). I would like to see more of the knightly Europe portrayed though; it seems to me like it's kind of missing in the game.

Post by: Ozin on March 31, 2012, 10:11:00 pm: I would think we'd try to release the mod with the core functions like character levels and skills. That would most likely mean we'll keep the armors included with M&B2, most likely filtering out any easter egg armors/weapons if there are any. (*cough* Strange Armor *cough*)

We'll just have to wait and see how Taleworlds are approaching M&B2.

Post by: Teeth on April 01, 2012, 12:01:41 am: I sincerely doubt the devs are going to leave the 'everything loosely associated with the Middle Ages is cool' vision. I think that approach was cool at the start of cRPG. When this mod was really about fun and about being silly. Now they have removed all the funny names and all the ridiculous items, the lulzy feel is gone. So they are sort of going for a more historical approach. I would like to see them either going for not too serious mode or really go for being historical. Not like a bit of both worlds now.

Post by: HUtH on April 01, 2012, 01:05:16 am: Roman armours(even the very late ones) is a bit too much for me... but early renessainse stuff, like landsknecht(flamberg is already of very long time), italian and conquista are ok.
Imho a period from ~900 to ~1500 is proper. There aren't firearms in mod anyway, so why bother.

It'd feel right to have feudal knights and soldiers against eachother. If not that, then allow everything.

10 to 15th is still too wide imo something like 11th to 13th would be better if the equipement in M&B2 is the same as in M&B warband

Post by: owens on April 02, 2012, 10:09:09 am: I am undecided between strict euro knights and peasants.

Or a very diverse battle field cavemen, Zulu, Bandit, Mongol, Roman, Greek, English, Saxon, Viking, Norman, Peasant militia, Knights.

What would really improve the mod is a way of rewarding teams, clans and players for dressing in similar region gear say a gold bonus for every player that wears Persian gear or a an extra multi if 50% of a team are wearing 2 or more Nordic items for example. This might seem difficult to enforce but it might occasionally produce a 100 man battle between 50 Roman Soldiers and 50 Greek hoplites.

If you don't want to dress up you don't get the multiplier. This could genuinely increase the Mods mass appeal imagine discovering this mod and witnessing a massive themed battle as a new player as opposed to the hilarious fail armies and mercenaries that we witness every day.

I agree, although, as it is, its borderline acceptable, as you could stretch things and say well, the guys out in the boonies of Norway for example, might still take the field with some very old stuff, especially if levy.

I dont understand the people wanting 'just anything' though. Sure, make it as many cultures as possible, but relative time period.

Theres very few games that cover pre-gunpowder combat properly. Please dont ruin it by making it High Renaissance vs Roman legions. Thats just a dagger in the heart for all the people that play this because its not been made into a complete joke yet.

If you want Roman legions, argue for 'Dark ages' ...If you want samurai, argue for something within a couple hundred years of Samurai... Cant we have just one game in the f'ing world that's 'slightly' believable? :rolleyes:
