Vlad just asked me to translate the article and said I should post it here, so here goes:
Expansion gives multiplayer in Mount and blade.
Taleworlds action-rpg MnB is liked a lot by many. A very actve community and an average score of 4.37 bears witness of that. Something that's been in high demand is support for multiplayer, and finally it's beginning to draw near - On the publisher Paradox' press meeting in Stockholm yesterday the producer Cem Cimenbicer presented a coming expansion that above else puts this in.
It won't be possible to play all of the regular game in multiplayer; instead the focus is on the battles. The goal is for at least 32 players (in addition to bots, if wanted), "hopefully more". There are supposed to be typical gameplay modes like deathmatch and team deathmatch, and even siege and a few others. Just like in the regular game the multiplayer is going to be very modding friendly. A closed beta begins in three months. If everything goes as planned, the as yet unnamed expansion will be released at the end of summer.
Other news is a better strategic AI, better prospects for diplomacy and better rendering techniques - among others HDR that makes it entrance. In the beginning of next week there will be interviews with Cimenbicer popping up, telling more about the expansion.
Have fun with this pile of fresh images.
Then there's the game information, that's phrased horribly, and comments.
Edit: Ouch, spelling.
