cRPG 2 : what setting would you prefer ?

[Sir Gilinor]

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.

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 ?

I want it to me a modern 1st person shooter with regen health and cover systems

You know what I REALLY would like to see? More bloody COLOUR on these dudes! EVERYONE looks like a simple mercenary "all buisiness, no fancypants" like so many of the noblemen were. Where are all the colourfull armour? I wanna see pink, purple and teal on the battlefield! Maybe make them dirtied DURING the fights, but BEFORE the fighting starts, it should practically be the Gay Parade! GO COLOURS!

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.

Fencers!!!  Even change there stances to be more elegent when wielding a fending wep.  Sexy IMHO

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.

I consider this cRPG 2 actually. It became cRPG 2 when the upkeep was added and exp/system was reworked. If you take a look at XmascRPG then you see that everything this is practically different.

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.
I don't mind weaboo stuff, katanas are cool, aren't they?

make pirate cRPG ... and tons of ninja vikings

[Micah]

i voted for the "no limits" option =D, yet i woult like to have it restricted to non-gunpowder weapons i.e. NO pistols and guns .. , because it gives me kinda more epic feeling than playing a usual 3d shooter. i also wouldn't mind to have even more culture outfits/weaponry. whats about some african/south american tribal stuff  or even indian? new mounts as in camels, elephants - which where actually used in historic warfare ? blowguns, boomerangs, those stones on a rope throwing things from movies ... traps , yer whats about making traps (most viable tactic in warfare)?

[procrastinator13]

I want purely medieval gear from around 1066 to to 1453, Crusader Kings 2 .  I don't want it to feel weird that there are muslims and crusader looking dudes fighting on one team with a bunch of samurai peasant mounted xbows on the other.  It'd feel right to have feudal knights and soldiers against eachother.  If not that, then allow everything.
