Hey all!

So some of you may have seen our announcements about the new multiplayer game mode. Just wanted to drop by and post some information here:

[*]The game mode is free to everyone who owns Mount & Blade: Warband
[*]It will release on Steam, our site and hopefully GOG on Monday 19th December 2016 (this Monday) Tuesday 20th December 2016 (this Monday)
[*]There will be an open beta (via Steam), probably starting on Saturday 17th December 2016 (tomorrow) NOW!
[*]It will break multiplayer compatibility - we are doing our best to make the transition as smooth as possible though. If you're a server host/provider, please send me a PM with an email contact and I'll make sure you're sent an announcement with instructions as soon as possible, that will help you prepare for the release.

As a final note, I'd just like to make a quick apology about the misinformation regarding the hi-res textures from the console version. They're actually going to take a few more months to arrive on PC... but they are on their way!

If you have any more questions, thoughts (or last minute suggestions!) regarding the mode, feel free to post them here and I'll do my best to read and respond!
 
Captain, two quick questions :smile:

- Can we play with more than one friend? (team up with three or more) or is it only for two?

- Can it be used on siege maps as well? say, defending the walls or a gate with a friend

Looking forward for this :smile:

Thank you in advance for your response!

What does 'multiplayer compatibility' means? Crossplatforms?

Should be current version(1.16:cool: and the new one(probably 1.17, I'd guess) not being compatible, due to different amounts of items and server/client events (and probably more), which is why not only the players but even more so server owners will have to update.

Flust, did you ask good ol'  arch3r if it was okay to include his mod?  :shifty:

It's more like the one from WFAS than the one by arch3r :neutral:
 
It seems a strange time for this update to come, years after Warband was last updated and with a game mode similar to a mod that has been out for years. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the chance to try it out and many players (especially those who don't visit this forum) will not even know of the Invasion mod, so it makes sense for this game mode to exist. However, it could have been made years ago, so for it to come now all of a sudden suggests to me that something precipitated its creation, and I worry that this has come now as a way of keeping us entertained because Bannerlord is expected to take even longer to finish than previously thought.

Unless they took some of his code and simply passed it off as their own, they have done no such thing. Copying the idea of a popular mod and making it widely available for free to all players is no bad thing, and something that has essentially been begged for in regards to players wanting the effects of popular Warband mods like Diplomacy in Bannerlord (not to mention it is hardly a radical idea to have players face hordes of AI), though I suppose using the name of the mod could aggravate the creator.

I think you're right... But honestly did we really believe it would actually release in 2016 or even Q1 of 2017? There were truly no such indication to be honest.

Might be a good opportunity to add overhead thrusting for spears in native.

I really don't like the look at floor overhead spear spam in NW, at least VC fixed this by limiting your ability to look down when doing overhead thrust.

That's less to do with the animation and more to do with how powerful bayonets are in NW.
