Hey, all.
Blood and Steel's giant Warband Engine graphics overhaul is pretty close to complete.
I would like a lot of testers to check things out and report any problems with the new shaders.
I don't normally advertise goings-on with the mod beyond the mod's sub-forum, but this one is special, so I've decided to let people know about it here.
For people who aren't aware of what Blood and Steel is, it's described at massive length here. Basically, think "Low Fantasy meets brutal realism", with a much more violent, large-scale approach to the warfare in Mount and Blade. Armies are huge, combat is fast and deadly; I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, but it's reasonably fun.
For people who just want to see screenshots and videos before deciding whether to try out something new, here are some screens and videos, showcasing various elements of the advanced graphics technology in the mod:

Anyhow, anybody who wants to try this out, you'll be able to find the 1.6 ALPHA build here when the file's done uploading. Give it about 30 minutes from the time of this post. Make sure to download the 1.6 ALPHA if you want to see all the snazzy new tech.
