Mythical Mount and Blade

[ReconX89]

Mount and blade is a great game, no doubt about it. But I noticed that this game needs a bit more to succeed, so propose that the next mount and blade revolves around Greek, Norse, Egyptian myths. I mean would it not be cool to recruit epic mythical monsters or slay them yourself? Who wouldnt want to charge with spartans and have a minatour plowing through everything? Or being able to kill the chimera? I know there are only 3 factions about Myths, but I think taleworlds could pull it off and succeed inmennsly. There is more than Greeks, Norse, and egyptians. THere is also Trojans, Romans,Celts, and many more in this era. Just think about it, and ask yourself, wouldnt it be cool? 

[KuroiNekouPL]

No, it wouldn't.

[Kawee]

As a mod yes, but not as the main game.

I'd prefer a Tolkein-esque kind of fantasy over mythology. It's better to have one coherent universe rather than a whole set of completely different ones slapped together.

[Kwikkicat]

Hmm, no thanks, but I will gladly accept an 500 - 480 B.C.esque M&B

Love the idea, but all that about the mythical creatures should be very rare and not a common thing. Want to keep it somewhat realistic and heavy

[Gambino]

IF it existed in the roman and greece and egypt yes but no minotaurs n stoof

[Microcosm]

I don't think that would work well with a game like Mount and Blade because it was created to be a realistic medieval simulation.
 Though I see what you mean to an extent, and I would like to see some more Calradian culture, like what are their gods, are the gods different with each faction, etc. If they were to create a mythology, it should be incorporated into some sort of in-game religion or superstition. I like Kwikkicat's idea also; I would like to see some history rather than playable mythology.

One of the main things I like about M&B and Warband is that it is NOT fantasy/mythology - even if the world of Calradia isn't real, it's still reality-based.

Orcs, goblins, dwarves, elves, dragons, etc... the market is already flooded with these things.

I wouldn't be against a mod, but definitely not a native release.

If the mb2 engine would be anything like warband's adding magic would not agree with it ! But your idea reminded me of a strategy game called age of Mythology , that was awesome when it came out .

[Sef OK b]

Nah, i don't like the idea. M&B engine is not really suited for massive Greek mythical creatures and stuff, it just wouldn't look right imo, it's more of a gritty medieval bloody world that you go into when you want to go back in time  (Elephants and war dogs would be a great addition though)

[dia151]

NO, m&b is 0 fantasy medieval tps/fps game , and thats what makes it unique and popular, keep it that way

What, this topic isn't about the old Vanilla versions, with old Zendar, the Black Knights, & stuff? Heresy.
