Good luck!

 

[Sir John Murder]

looking forward to this great choice of time period. May I ask how big the map is going to be and what factions will be in it?

 

[Marcquez]

Will the map be limited to england or cover a wider area of Europe?

 

[Dobas]

Hey Marcquez,

I'll just copy an article from the moddb page for you okay? The answer is in there.

Will this mod only focuss on England/France/Scandinavia?
We will start with focussing on the norman conquest of ( but not limited to ) England and the Anglo Saxon defense against both the Norman and Viking invaders. If we get enough 3d modelers to help us create the architecture and armoury and other props we need then we will include the rest of early medieval europe / east.

Will this mod be singleplayer only?
Yes, this mod will be singleplayer only we have no current plans for a multiplayer

Will this mod be focussing on historical accuracy?
Yes, we take the historic accuracy quite serious. Lords/locations/armoury/architecture will be kept as accurate as we can, but if the player decides to run around naked with spear into the battle of hastings that's up to them of course.

Will this mod see crusades?
If we get the team needed to include all of europe, then yes, we will see the 1st crusade in this mod.

Crusades? You just said the mod will focuss on historical accuracy, the first crusades didn't happen untill around 1096
Bannerlord let's characters age and make you establish a clan, or perhaps as king a dynasty. so from 1066, 30 years isn't such a stretch.

Can I join the development team?
Currently we're mostly looking for more modelers/texturers.
We don't really need more coders, but if you're enthusiastic about the project you're always welcome.
We're always looking for talented sceners.

Does this mod use a discord?
Yes we do since today: Discord.gg

can't wait to run naked. i have tried running here but they stoped me, and charged me.
anyway good luck, and it's a nice era too!

Looking forward to play this. Always keep in mind that quality goes over quantity. So focusing on your chosen scenario might be the better approach than trying to bring in all of Europe. Just my two cents there.

work together, will be faster, more content, less repeated work:

He's got a point, but the problem with that is that sometimes modders will lose engangement if their vision is not respected. I understand that. We sometimes forget that modders are doing it mostly because they want to add something to the game, to their game.

The 1141 mod wants to recreate the Crusader States. This one seems focused on Hastings. That seems to me like a different goal.

You were behind Europe 1200, right? Good to see you back in business!

But 1066 and 1141 are 2 different time periods.

I was one of the lesser people involved with the project, yes. Good to be back!

 

[MarcGM]

Im eager to play the mod!
Will be the county of Barcelona a faction in the mod?

 

[King Yngvar]

Looking forward to this one. Hope you make it possible to start as one of the 3 kings in addition to a regular start.

 

[Dobas]

MODDB has been updated. Please have a look and let us know what you think!

 

[Younes]

Looking forward for this, Dobas has proven to be really dedicated in warband, i'm seeing greatness in this.

Very happy to hear from you about this excellent idea.
I would like to say here that there is a very interesting story going on to the 11th century that saw two major events that changed the history of Europe and the world: 1) The conquest of England by the Normans. 2) The battle of Matzikert that signed the declain of the Eastern Roman Empire and opened the chain of events that led to the 1st Crusade. The inability of the Europeans to hold the Holly Land and it's important trade routs is probably what caused the exploring of new sea ways to reach the far east that led to the discovery of the Americas..
So good luck to you, I hope you manage to succeed all the way...

 

[Jason L.]

By the way, I saw somewhere that there is an interesting story about some of the huscarls that fought alongside harold in Hastings. It is said that they ended up serving the Emperor of Constantonople in the famouse varangian Guard and as guards of the Emperor they fought in the battle of Matzikert too. I don't belive it is very common to have people that fought both the most decicive battles of their century...

It would suck to be on the losing end of two historical battles. And I say this as a person who prefers King Harold Godwinsson over William the Bastard of Normandy. I have read that after Hastings, so many English men-at-arms left England to serve in the Varangian Guard that the Varangian Guard become known as the "English Guard." I would rather that they had stayed in England and fought for their own kingdom.
