Gamemode Stronghold - beta this evening?(CET)

[Teeth]

Go chadz! Go rest of the dev team! Go beta testers! Go Stronghold!

[Deathwhisper]

This looks great!

However, is it me or did the siege tower go through the wall in one of Varric's screenshots?

[okiN]

Probably at least some parts of it. Warband doesn't exactly have realistic collisions.

ME TOO PICK ME TOO.

but seriously, this sounds like freaking fun, its like playing stronghold (derp derp derp) but being the soldiers, also huge walls of archers raining down arrows on the attackers, god I can see it now.

Looks like I chose a great time to get internet hooked up at my new place. This looks amazing by the way, thanks for all the hard work devs!

If they could add Bots too then we would have a fucking Stronghold/Savage/DOTA mix! NERDGASM! But that would probably kill the servers xD

[Thovex]

Sounds awesome chadz.

We are currently considering doing a not-closed-but-not-open-beta-either this weekend. Truth to be told, we simply can't test all of the game techniques with 10 players - the game is supposed to be played with 100 people

Not yet sure how we'll determine who will get access, as we only need 50 to 100 players, stay tuned.

you just gave me a boner

I would be really pleased to help with beta testing this new game mode . It seems to be really interessant to play and i would be really proud of helping to improve it.

You know you want me there. The question is, do I want to be there?

Hmmm, well, i guess i kind of do. But i got other things to do this weekend, so, tough luck for you.

Of all the mods and game modes I've ever seen, this may be the least compatible for bots. If you didn't herd them around every five feet the would be constantly smashing into walls. There may be some way to have each prop come with its own AI mesh and alter all the ones around it to connect, but I doubt it.

[Qilidj_Arslan]

Is the NA population illegible for that Beta?

[Vibe]

Pick me, for I am a veteran Natural Selection and Savage player!

I know. They should be commandable. Dunno by who. Still, having NPCs who just spawn and mindlessly zerg the enemy would be cool, just to get shit going. You would have to make barracks and shit though. But mainly I meant it for wall archers or something, making the battles bigger (yes i want 200+ bots on each side WITH 60v60 players, MUAHAHAHH). I know it's totally unreasonable and impossible to make, but one can hope, can't I?

It's not that unreasonable. But many people don't have enough RAM for it.
