SP Fantasy Warsword Conquest - New Opening Post

Thanks for your comments therex55213.

There are no plans to have the magic items vendors restock with different items but we plan to put in more magic items than we have had before so hopefully they won't run out so quickly.

I haven't played the phantasy mod, it sounds class but there are no plans to put magic in warsword at the moment. I am hoping to include magic items which give boosts to skills and attributes in the next release. We are eager to push towards release although we still have a fair bit to do so any major new features like that, if we ever decide to go for them will have to be for the future.

I'm just happy with the push to release- I've been playing the hell out of Prophesy of Pendor but the Warsword Conquest preview is what first got me to buy M&B!

I mentioned Phantasy mod's magic because, on the main page of the site I downloaded the demo version from, Horla had mentioned in a list of upcoming features "Necromancy rules and Regeneration for the Trolls/those who eat Troll flesh". From this I assumed there were going to be more magic features than just those two things in specific, and seeing as Phantasy mod has handled enchanted items and necromancy as well as other magic in a very efficient way, I figured I point you guys in that direction. I apologize for assuming wrong.

No need to apologise, we appreciate recommendations from players. Plus it was a fair assumption to make considering the front page of modddb. The front page is a bit misleading for which we apologise, it is highly unlikely that necromancy or regeneration will be part of this mod release. Del will make an update on there soon to clarify exactly what to expect with the next release. 

Hey guys, I was wondering if there's been any talks about adding Vampire Counts? Definitely my favorite fantasy army and I wanted to hear the developers thoughts on them.

Hi Miskatonic81

We are not planning to add Vampire Counts to the mod for the next release sorry but there will be the odd Vampire Counts type skeletons as bandits on the map.

Ohh man!  I am so excited to see that y'all are still hard at work on this mod!  The new troops and locations y'all have previewed in the last few pages are just plain beautiful!  I've been playing the Preview mod for a while now, and I have been absolutely blown away.  This is, without a doubt, one of the coolest games I've ever played, and I can't even begin to imagine the work that went into it.  You've already got so much depth and so much cool stuff in the Preview that the next iteration must be truly mind-blowing!  I cannot WAIT to get my hands on a complete version with all the new races and troops.  As it is, I would gladly have bought a game much like this mod and been quite content, so the thought of getting even more awesomeness is amazing!

Thank y'all for all of your hard work.  It is truly appreciated and admired!

I read this with the thickest Southern drawl I could imagine. haha

How's the scene modelling going? A few weeks/months ago you were advertising for modellers, has it gone alright?

Ha!  Sorry to disappoint, but my accent is pretty slight. My wife has a lovely southern drawl, though.

Ohh, I do have a question for the team, though.  It may have already been addressed, and if so, I apologize.  Will the army tree of the Lizardmen be expanded any in the update?  If not, that's quite okay, as they are quite awesome already, but I must say I'm curious because of the note about triceratops riders on the first page.

Hi Benton Grey. There are no plans for the Lizardman tree to be expanded, the triceratops is the mount used by the Old bloods, they are too powerful to be a rank and file mount.

Just askin' how far are you from completing and releasing the mod? I'm not asking the release date but is there lot work to do or somethin'?

There is a fair bit to do but productivity is at full speed ahead. News of a release date should come soon.

Glad to hear. Keep up the good work!
