pretty epic


War of Roses devs actually responded on rumours about max player count in multi and comparing to warband possibilities on paradox forum:

We have tested with more, but a lot of optimizing needs to be done. Thirty two can be confirmed 100%, and comparing with another said game is like comparing apples to oranges. Bitsquid is a much more complex and robust engine. The server makes way more calculations and tracks a lot more data. That said we're working our "you know what's" to increase it and not even to alpha yet, that's when we're feature complete and can really optimize the most. Hope that gives better insight to the player count. :-)

Sounds promising then.

Even if there are engine limitations, there are always people willing to find a way to make servers bigger. It's how the battlefield servers went from the official 64 to 120-200 in some cases. Because someone in the community figured out how to make it work. Sure it was laggy ect, but was fun as hell

This looks awesome. Is there anything more to this mod other than Roman gear and community playing shieldwall/tactics?

[Teeth]

Is it just me or this mod has better graphics than c-rpg?

Maxed out settings and models with really good specular maps is what makes this looks good I think.

Doesn't look too bad to be honest, the same fighting mechanic is excellent so we don't have to learn something new. All the new players will be like  when cRPG players come over.

4 directional combat system

Haha yeah

[Overdriven]

Actually looks pretty awesome

Also +1 for using monty python to base character models on 

Combat system is basically the same then...

No, it's not

In c-rpg there are 4 basic attacks (left swing, right swing, overhead and thrust) but you can attack from different angles.

On videos it's the always the same attack for every type of attack...

Both Warband and Chivalry have better mechanics than this atm.

This is PRE-alpha

I don't see it. This has 4 attack directions with 4 corresponding block directions, how is that different from Warband? Oh and also, Chivalry's combat system is shite.

[Overdriven]

True chivalry's combat system was always appalling. I imagine the new one won't be much better. It was always fun for an arcadey laugh.

I hope those are placeholder swing animations.

Do you play football video games? Do you know how PES used to look like when you play it on D-pad. Compare it with FIFA played with analog stick. It's not just 4 directions, it's many more in between.

In those videos it's always same the same 4 directions like in earlier Elder Scrolls games.

Chivarly: Medieval Warfare has "360 degree" combat mechanics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIFI1oIAXAk
