Paradox are making a new game!

[Banok]

well the setting is more interesting to me than WoR, just wonder if it will be historic at all. if its horned helmets etc then fuck...

but I prefer dark ages period to later medieval, or however I'm technically supposed to say it but you still know what I mean.

also there is speculation that bannerlord is also set in an earlier time period, I'm hoping they go for history based game this time also. the guy does look anglo saxon to me, also someone said term bannerlord was ancient.

"Multiplayer Close Quarter Combat in the Viking Age set in Saxon controlled England!."

In the link, Nessaj posted they say stuff like items will be historical accurate, the rest is more historical inspired. I guess they won't get many friends if they use horned helmets. :p

But creating a game which is historical inspired is much easier than making it 100% fully historical accurate in every detail. That's also fine imo if they don't do stuff like you mentioned, e.g. horned helmets.

Medieval times are giving more stuff though, if you stretch the time 900-1200 for example you can use lots of different armors that probably was never used together. I also prefer the dark ages though and would be happy if both this and bannerlords will stay with it though. But who knows, probably they just change WotR a bit. I'm curious about people getting into alpha.

Well in fairness historically accurate armours was the one place they did really hold up. My sister has worked in various historical archives and knows the guy who advised them on it. Apparently he saw what they originally intended and basically told them it was all wrong and persuaded them to re-do it. Only thing that detracts from it is the emblems printed on everyone's chest I guess.

Kind of like stating you can fit 3 cocks in your shitpipe at once and being proud of it.

Well that actually is a useful talent...one that you can be proud of at the end of the day.  Making a "CoD" version of Warband, and then releasing DLC as a whole new game (Where you re-skin the textures to an earlier era)...not so much. 

[Banok]

yeah I just read those articles linked and screenshots, I'm happy with historically inspired the assets look really nice. But yeah does so far just seem like a reskin without cav.

But if they are asking for alpha testers maybe they do want to overhaul the gameplay.

And yeah ive been playing brytenwalda and tons of aoe2.

So it looks like another game in the same line as War of the Roses.

However the dev team has learnt a lot about game balance by gathering feedback from players on its forums and the results of the european championship games.

[TheAppleSauceMan]

the european championship games.

There were people who actually played WoTR....competitively?.... Dear lord. Why on earth.

On topic, I'd be lying if I said I was disappointed. My expectations were low, and they delivered on them.

[CrazyCracka420]

My expectations for WotR were really low from what I read, and I was still disappointed after giving it some time (about 2 months of play)

it might be good, it might be shit. sign up and you have nothing to lose. I already have 5 people signed up for me I'm not trying to "definitely" get in, I already have.

check the forum that fits this topic.

A hint:
its not this one.

[Jarold]

Well the teaser trailer was a lot better than Bannerlord's but I doubt the gameplay will be better. Besides doesn't paradox produce the games and another company makes them, like taleworlds made warband. So did fat shark make WoTR? Because people keep saying paradox ugh and paradox this.

[EponiCo]

I think Paradox makes Ueropa Universalis and stuff directly. But they also act as publisher for Taleworlds etc.

[Hunter_the_Honourable]

WotR was all about spamming, tbh I'm trying to work out how long it will be until they start telling people to pay for gold you earn IG and how long until they make WotV free to play too!

Interview with gameplay.

[Banok]

looks tons better than WoR. whether that means I will actually buy it this time, idk.
