Mount and Blade II-A Petition to Taleworlds

[Hethwill]

the Khergits are the mount and blade Mongols there is nothing alien about them except they come from the far east (orieant).

Khergits are Khergits. Mongols are Mongols. What the hell are you talking about !?

[Federick421]

All mount and blade factions are based on historical medieval cultures. The Swadian are Western European, Rhodoks are Northern Italian, Vagiers are Medieval Russian, Sarradins are based on the Islamic kingdoms and the Khergits are Mongols

[Hethwill]

Khergits are based in generalistic horse cultures, Sarradins in desert peoples, Vaegirs in mountain dwellers, Rhodoks in merchant cities, Swadians in ballerinas and Nords in technoviking.

The wonderful thing is that they're based on different cultures, not directly copied. Leaves some room to give each faction a personality and other cool stuff.

Who thinks there should more factions based on medieval European-Middle Eastern cultures that have not yet been explored. There are two cultures I can think of England and the Byzantine Empire. The English based faction would be similar to swadia but one of the main difference is that the english based faction archers are armed with Longbows. The Byzantine Empire based faction is the remenants of the Calradian Empire of old. Its capital has near impenatrable double city walls and a massive garison more than twice of any other city. Its armies although by modern Calradian standards appearing to be outdated they are still hugely effective and more than a match for almost anyone. Their best unit is the Cataphract the predecessor of the Swadian Knight and Sarradin Mamluks and easily a match for the Swadian and Sarradin heavy horsemen. A great name for the Byzantine based faction would be the Empire of Trebizand

You suggested it so many times. Never get tired of it, huh?
My opinion is, that M&B 2 should take place in real Europe with real factions. It'd be much more interesting and pleasurable.

Now,to clear up things with title.Titles are made of 5 types:
King
Viceroy(I updated the main thread)
High Noble
Noble
Noble's Warrior
Ok,I update And Rhodok is changed to medieval England.

More expensive armour and weapons that are equipped should give a boost to the number of soldiers you can hire and boost ur relationship wid other ppl . . as in increase ur worth in the eyes of others and stuff. Caus as Russel Crowe pointed out in Robin Hood, hte only diffrence between a serf and a Nobleman in medieval ages was in the clothes/armour they wore

I like Rhodoks to remain to be based on Northern Italians (after all North Italy does have the Alps for mountain people)

Yes. Them or Swiss. English specialized in crossbow that have no cavalry because have few plains lol.


BTW why isn't included in the petition to have a decent custom battle mode? In custom battle mod for M&B vanilla you could place as many soldier you wanted (bypassing battlesizer limit) and you could decide which troop you want. I never understood why years afterthey released warband with that stupid stuff where you can decide between infantry/cavalry/archer but the tier is decided randomly! It just make longer testing troops for modding purpose!

[SacredStoneHead]

I would like to suggest to add deffecation because people in the middle ages needed to do so, and because someone saw someone having a crap in a movie.*

Come on.

If this thread go that way and Talewords accept this - add content no matter what - we would have a Bethesda like game of doing everything in the hugest, massive way and forgetting about some details, such as, uh, combat mechanics.

Anyways, who cares for it when you can catch butterflies on a field, eh?

Let them focus on inovative game mechanics and physics and stop this "oh I would like to do [insert random thing you can do in your real life]" BS, that is always very easy to implement via mods after.


*For those not smart enough, this is a blatant sarcastic phrase.

We don't need magic and fantasy shits...

Meh I quite like that they are made up, if you want real stuff there are tons of really good mods for that.

Wouldn't be mount&blade without khergits and nords!
I'd hate for the game to lose its personality and go the in direction of a dull simulator. Anyone can make Europe with a bit of research, but only Taleworlds can make Calradia.

How about Assimilation? Being able to recruit some local units.
