Where did you get this from? Cannot find it anywhere.

About the roman look, the archer in the gate scene reminded me a lot of an auxiliary roman archer.

Top tip, buddy, that's not an official page, so it could easily be bogus. They claim to be in communication with TW, though.

Wait for announcements.
Don't.

I wasn't aware the Roman empire still existed in the 13th century.

No, the Germans don't count.

Did you miss the pot helmets and high medieval armor?

Me thinks Xant just wants to stand out and try to pick out bad things in this WIP game. Even if they are made up.
Oh yeah, I so badly want the sequel of the game I've played 1200 hours to be awful. I sacrifice small animals daily so that M&B2 would suck as much as possible.
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

This is the official Facebook page. The one you linked to is completely fanmade.

Okin, where did you get that information about the setting from? I see some sort of legionnaire inspired dude and medieval arabs and a guy on a barded horse with a kettle helmet and a crossbow. I'm hella confused. Are they doing a Calradia Invasion sort of thing where the old factions get invaded by some Roman-ish faction?

As i understand it, Ye ole Calradian Empire is roman-like and this would be sort of a fall of roman empire-like setting?

No, like I said this is clearly set in an earlier time period. Don't you guys pay any attention? I'm pretty sure I remember some of the fluff text given out by Warband characters mentioning the Calradic empire as a historical entity, and now we have this:

Quote
The once-mighty Calradic Empire is in a state of decline. Warlike tribes have seized swaths of its territory. Client kingdoms have declared their independence. The Emperor has died without leaving an heir, leaving three jealous factions to scramble for power. Mercenary companies, bandit lords and nomads hover on the sidelines like vultures waiting for a meal.

A hero who can master the art of single combat, of leading armies in battle, of plotting ambushes and raids, and of exploiting the rivalries of noble houses and tribal clans may be able to unite this Empire -- or, alternately, to deal it the final blow that sends it crashing down. Will Calradia experience one final sunset of imperial glory, or slip into a night of chaos before a new age dawns?

And this:

Did you miss the pot helmets and high medieval armor?

This series was never perfectly historically accurate, and one its chief issues in that regard was the way it mashed together equipment and cultures separated by several centuries. That doesn't change the fact that the setting is obviously undergoing a backward shift in time with this game.

As i understand it, Ye ole Calradian Empire is roman-like and this would be sort of a fall of roman empire-like setting?

Yes, as has been pointed out loads of times already.
Don't.

This is all they release after a year? They are either not too far along in development or they are purposely keeping quiet.

Im sorta hoping that the system requirements wont be very high. Not because of me but other people. The game isnt a lot of peoples cup of tea already and getting 200 player battles without everyones PCs preformance crashing and burning is hard. I dont get what the fuck where the people who said "Warbands minus is its graphics" smoking. Cause you dont get awesome giant meleegame playerbattles with HD Crysis graphics. You get em with crappy graphics.

It's called making trade-offs (cutting down on graphics, dynamic physics, etc...).
