Looks like the game is ready now, lets play next week?

Thanks for sharing vid, had missed it.

They had a sort of captain mode in NW, it worked pretty good but that was with muskets only but this looks like an expansion on that and it looks very cool, in Warband I used to do something like this with a friend where we both had a bunch of bots each but it was always a fucking mosh pit and not very fun.

I hate to be a downer but it looks like a clunky warband with some graphics upgrades. Where is the multiplayer campaign where are the innovative features???

[IR_Kuoin]

I'm sure (I hope) they'll show some, they should know it's been a wish for a very long time from the community, but this was the first taste of multiplayer we've been shown, right?

I really hope there is some kind of clan castle defense. I would be happy with any form of persistent clan multiplayer.

I think this will be more than likely left to modders to work on :/

Looks like they've improved everything. What did you expect? For it to not resemble Warband at all?

[njames89]

AI doesn't look better, Mechanics look the same to me and actually a bit worse on the attacks.

Only improvements I see are graphical. What improvements do you see?

I agree. I dont see them setting up any persistent stuff.

I don't really like the attack animations but tbh they changed the attack animations from M&B to Warband so.. not like its anything new.

Most improvement feature-wise will be for single player (way deeper political system if I understood it right). Besides that, the only noticeable changes that will occur will be on the graphics and performance. I must admit I'm worried about the animations and the terrible combat AI, if they don't change the animations before release, it will simply be a "good" game, not the game to rule them all.

[njames89]

That is good. I definitely intend to play it for single player.
