*As the final M&B release is nearing, it is time for us to come back to Taleworlds forums. Yes, there was another thread about WFAS here, but it was messy, old and started by guys who are no longer active, so we could not control it. Now we managed to get the old thread locked, so now:Welcome to
Action of the mod takes place in 17th century. Where today are vast Ukrainian steppes, then it was a part of the Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth. It is loosely inspired by the novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz with the same title. A player will meet many of the characters that appear in the original novel, and will have the opportunity to take part in some of the events.
We present you some previev screens of a pre-alpha version working with 0.960 of M&B. Some of the content is experimental and probably some of it won't be included in the final release, which we are planning to start to put together just after the final version of M&B is out, but it should give you an idea what we are trying to accomplish.
The mod is going to take a different approach to many aspects of the original game. First, a fully developed storyline will be present, while maintaining and even expanding the dynamic war engine and random event generation. Locations, town and village scenes have been improved, and became lively worlds - an aspect as important as battles and sieges. It's somewhat less an medieval sim, more an RPG with the elements that make M&B great (combat system, epic battles, managing huge armies and defensive structures) still present and reworked.
The dialogue system has been entirely reworked. No more big, yellow, empty windows - it's translucent, intuitive and works faster.
Next thing - custom dynamic weather effects. Different types of rain, storms with lightnings and thunder, radiation and advection fog changing dynamically.
Thriving village, and NPCs interacting with the environment.
It is possible to spawn a large number of NPCs, each one can be assigned different actions behaviors on the fly. They can work in the field, talk to eachother, fight etc..
