YEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhh! Very cool! I am so happy that a new version is coming out, i bareley care any more about the fact that i have to start all over (or hack my way to the same char) soon this will be fixed to i know it, i know it, i know it.

One Question to the Mods/Armagan (bc its his forum i assume):

Would it be possible to have a sorted archive of changelogs from the different versions somewhere on the site / sthis forum? It would be nice to have in the support thread imo.

Nice video - but turning off the damage messages would make it much cleaner.

I really liked the slow-mo action - too bad there you see the "not-so-good" animation of the models even stronger. What you could show is the landscape before a battle f.e lmake your knights hold position, make your officers hold position before them, then let the archers/xbowman and footmen hold position next/behind them so you get the picture of a prepared for battle army, then ride from one side to another with lance/spear/raised 2H weapon, like a leader would do before a battle.

Also it would be a good promotion to show some of the "deathstyles" i.e when people get dragged by a horse, a horse falls down and throws off the rider etc.

No cheats up till now (i have left myself open the option to leave without saving), i must admit - i haven't even yet looked at posts regarding the cheats or how to manipulate the files. Really sad that a mod / new version not only breaks your savegames but also your charakter (yes i know you can import, but then he is still completely naked...).

About the second question - there is no story, thus there can be no end - not yet - all i am wondering about is the max-level a charakter can have? Over 100 ? How much EXP do you need (btw. is there a table with exp/level?)

I want new stuff in M&B like new castles.

Can you share any info Armagan?

Although it is clear that Armagan knows the answer better than most of the visitors on this forum, the answer most probably is - like  with any other game under development (even DN4Ever!):

"When it's done"

SCNR!

PS:
Of course i look at the website almost twice a day and search with a falcon's eye for the smallest change or update connected to a new version! Mea culpa ...

A "little nerf" would be my suggestion in the "Wind" suggestion thread:

Lukisun 说:

Hmmm instead of implementing Wind (velocity, direction, vertical upwinds etc.) just give a fired arrow a larger deviation of the target the farther it goes. Similiear to the spreading of a shotgun - a deviation cone but over a much farther distance. A bowman is nothing like a sniper or sharpshooter. Even nowadays hunters with super-hightech bows, extremely weighted arrows and perfekt skill need to sneak in relatively close  (50 - 80 m)  to their prey before making a shot that will be lethal.

Thus instead of wind, it might be also easier to include a frontal arc deviation linked to the distance your target is away.

I remember that in UO a woodsman or miner could own "pack horses". Here a player would be able to dump excess wood/ore etc.

Maybe in correlation with the size of your army you would also need to pay up a one time extra fee for a pack horse? Lets say (to keep it within the game and not have to bie ULTRA-realistic) per 20 Footmen 1 Packhorse, per 30 Knights 2 Packhorses, per 40 Crossbowmen 3 Packhorses? Also these would have an additional upkeep cost ( 1 Packhorse / 10 Gold f.e)

If you have a large scale army 90+, you will then also have more inventory "backpacks" for selection, not only your personal one. Possibly this solution would also be simpler to implement but still fit within the game mechanics.

EDIT:
my typing is bad bad bad today!!

Drugs in M&B would really only be fluff - currently the way the game is oriented (Mounted Action Combat) i can not see any place for drug addiction. Also there were not really sooo many drugs  in this time, perhaps some opiates and some hallucinogen herbs/mushrooms. Unlike some drugs nowadays both do not "buff" you with incredible feeling of power or improved physique.

Alkohol f.e maybe could make you a little bit reckless, but how to convey this in the game ? Riding faster than usual? Automatically a higher morale  (which again would mean that the morale system would need some importance).

1 hit killls happen - but hey this is medieval times were polearms (helebards?) and crossbows were the most dangerous weapons for mounted knights!

Some ways to avoid beeing a 1-hit victim:

- Always close in from the side or behind when your fellowship is charging or holding a position against the enemies.
- When charging crossbowmen/archers/axethrowers, always first get out your shield and charge them with your horse, then get out your main melee weapon to kill them
- Stop engaging large groups of pikemen/archers frontally, always wait until they are distracted, sometimes it is enought when one of your fellowship closes or gets into their range
- Have your men positioned smartly, on hills or heightened areas were you have a good view where enemies come from or gather. Let them gather, defend, then charge, with you charging in from the side or when youre men are charging in the second wave.
- Never Auto-Resolve ^^

Although there is no real leader - for each wave of enemies you usually have in the front horsemen or knights approaching you, behind them footmen/archers/riding archers. Leave the assault leaders to your men and distract the back-end troops from their attack, thus they will be split up and not able to close up to the main battle, also order your seargeants to hold a position near where you are fighting to ward off any annoying groups of attackers.

Some kind of basic manual for M&B that could be distributed with the download or otherwise downloaded from the site may work better. Assuming people could be pursuaded/forced to read it...

Actually a manual would be really nice. Most functions in the game are self-explanatory, but a nicely made manual with a skill tree or unit upgrade tree would be very nice. PDF Format would suffice. I do not know though if it would be interesting for the developer team if the community participated in parts of the manual or not - but hey if there is a manual where the basics are written it would also give newbs (like me too!) some basic information. I've picked all my basic know-how together throughout the forum if i had the feeling i am doing sth wrong in the game or should try using different weapons etc.

Also if there is a manual one can say "RTFM nubb!"

No need for a bow / x-bow. if there are archers i usually try to attack from the side or behind. The only problem i had was with the second castle "Comarr?" The X-Bowmen there seem to be very strong (Marksmen?) and also 10 Knights are guarding the entrance on the wall. I'v tried using 40 Manhunters as "Cannonfodder" but to no avail :-/ 

g13v Ballistas keke ^^ !

Usually i just run around sword 'n board style and use the 2H for critical damage or to do the pony-army-mower thingie. Elsewise, on foot, always a shield with many hitpoints and a quick 1H weapon.

Hummm ...  my "Hero" does massive Damage with Great War Sword 2H. Hits between 60 - 70 are normal. I usually just ride up sideways or behind enemies, either the horse or the ride die in 1-Hit. I tried out the lance several times to see how this all funky "Couched Damage" would be, i managed to do it twice, both times on an infantry/crossbowman standing and gaving after the rest of my company. I think damage was between 40-50 and it takes much too much preparation in battle. Thus i rather stick with a 2H Sword, a Vouge or a War Axe(2H). The range of the weapon still is pretty high and it is also quicker, so i can swipe 3-4 enemies while just riding through. Left *crack* then  right*uaaagh* again  right *wraaah* then  left *splatter* - 4 enemies killed with one run. Downside is, i do about 60% of all kills in the battle and my char is leveling much to quick - Borcha and Marid are waaay behind. :/

Uh although i'm quite new to the game and the forum - up till now i've found most basic questions in the very nicely collected FAQs and posts with links to threads (ok - most of the links don't work atm because of new forum - but i guess there still is the search function - seems to be really popular here)

I don't think any one plays for to much more than say 100 days do they?
So seasons wouldn't be very nessesary IMO.

I already have 127 days ^^ guess i'm just taking my time building up my charakter, "training" all u nits to knights or sharpshooters, recruiting new units, doing quests, little missions etc. etc.  a yearly cycle every 90 days or so  would be nice - but have no idea if it is implementable

*cough* Back to topic...

Somehow there is no weather in "my" B & M ? Neither in the morning nor in the evening have i encountered any fog - not even to speak of rain (no precipitation at all). Is this maybe connected to the fact that i only have a GeForce 4 Ti Card and not a newer one ? Did i miss any flags in the config file ? *scratches his head*
