New map and factions
« on: October 27, 2011, 07:07:22 AM »
Considering the factions that are in Mount and Blade and Warband are based on medieval European and middle eastern cultures. The current factions are Swadia who are based on the Holy Roman Empire, Rhodoks based on the Northern Italian City States, The Nords on the Vikings and Saxons ,Vagiers on the Kievan Slavic Russians, Kherigits on the Mongols and Turkic people, and the Sarradins on the Islamic Middle Eastern Kingdoms. I am wondering for more factions based on Medieval Cultures that havn't been covered yet. Everything must be European/Mediterranean. There will be NO ORIENTAL CULTURES (other than the Kherigits) WHAT SO EVER.

Viable cultures that can be use can be Spanish, Moors (Arabs in Spain), English (Pretty much like swadia but with longbowmen instead of crossbows), Scots, Poles and Hungarians, Byzantines, Southern Italian City States, Italian Papal States and Norman Sicily. For I like the Empire of Trebizand for the name Byzantine based faction.

here is a politic map of the M&B2 map should be. Note it resembles a poorly drawn version of Europe and the Mediterranean area. It shows the starting location of the factions including the proposed factions. More faction names to the map will be added once they are decided.

I'll say it now, and politely, wrong section of the forums.

And your tone seem a bit demanding, might want to fix that.
I feel for you bro. I'm feeling for you. There, I felt for you. Hmm, nice muscles.
Touch my ass, I've been working on the glutes.  :wink:
Obviously we now must bow to the Penis Cloud God.

Vaegirs* :U
Nords ruled by King Ragnar, Khergits ruled by Sanjar Khan, Rhodoks ruled by King Graveth, Swadians ruled by King Harlaus, Vaegirs ruled by King Yaroglek. All those peoples live, fight, and die in the continent of Calradia. The Nords and Rhodoks field solely infantry and archers, the Swadians and Vaegirs have infantry, archers and cavalry and the Khergit field almost exclusively cavalry. No such things as "infarty" or "calvary" exist. A nice link to my mod ;)

Ye gods you really are as thick as clotted cream, which has been left out by some clot until the clots are so clotted you couldn't unclot them with an electric declotting machine.

PM an admin to move it there,

And i think the Rhodoks are based on the lithuanian tribes rather than the italians. The political situation of M&B is very likely based on the baltic area in the 13th century.

Swadia - Teutonic Knights
Rhodoks - Lithuanian tribes
Vaegirs - Novgorod
Nords - Denmark/Sweden
Khergits - Mongols

It's bullshit to come up with theories in the first place and especially bullshitty to do so here.

It could be vaguely baltic, it could be western-european, it could even be based on the situation in medieval turkey.

Rhodok do not fit Luthuanian role at all, it's completely different, and its pretty much sure, that Rhodoks are supposed to be Northern Italy.

The BEST mod EVAR!

Why don't you just look it up instead of going SO AND SO IS OBVIOUSLY BASED ON THIS.

Rhodoks are lightly based on Italians for items like the boards shield, but for the most part are inspired by the professional armies of the Northlanders from Britain.

So said Armagan himself, so it's not really debatable.

He said what the rest of them are too, but I can't remember at moment.

Source. I only know of the big A calling them "hill people." I've got it bookmarked at home, but it'll take a while before I'm back to post it.
Nords ruled by King Ragnar, Khergits ruled by Sanjar Khan, Rhodoks ruled by King Graveth, Swadians ruled by King Harlaus, Vaegirs ruled by King Yaroglek. All those peoples live, fight, and die in the continent of Calradia.
