What about the combat gameplay ? Since there has been games like Chivalry with an interesting combat system,I hope M&B2 will improve the fighting as well..
Think it would be nice to keep the directional attack/parry system, but with local injuries, special moves/feints, horse damage, cavalry spear hitting with speed and not only by attacking .... so much to do :/
I would kill for battles with for a clever AI and real formations and orders ... and more men and the battlefield.
And I do share the opinion of many there, graphics are just an enjoyable bonus for this game.
And then, a Game of Thrones mod
