Goodbye Mexxico, Thanks For Everything! (Mexxico Leaves TW. Tribute Post)
Fantastic to see these behind the scenes! Love to see you in actionThanks for all messages! I am sure our ways somehow intersect in future again with many of you.
Previously I said I will add some photos. Here are some.
Road to Taleworlds at winter (home to office) :
At first 5-6 years of working I prefer walking to office then in remaining years sometimes walked sometimes bcycle sometimes car.
Ankara is not usually snowy like that at winter maybe 5-10% of days snow is seen at ground, these photos taken at a snowy day.
Photos from playing board games with collegues :
In Taleworlds, most of us like playing board games. These are photos from some these moments.

Photos from white board at office :
These are from brainstroming for designs. Initial step.
Of course there were too many brainstorming for different designs but I took photos of only these. Some of these designs are changed by time.
Other stuff :
Taleworlds soccer team for a tournament, we lose all 3 matches and eliminated.
These baskets are a tradition in company. It has different snacks. At first years it was easy there was only 10-20-30 baskets.
We make a new year lottery every year. This is knex lottery machine for 2016. There are 4 different color balls and they drop randomly and form a 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 combination. Actually because we have limited balls not all probabilities are same.
Thank you for sharing Mex!
@Terco_Viejo great images in here, maestro!- Rubinsaw

Which 3 major features from Warband or Devblogs do you want the most in Bannerlord?
Great post Five Bucks, I never got to play Warband so it's suprising to see actually the court system we discussed already implemented. That court system is #1 from your list for me. Maybe TW want to free the player to make these choices anywhere on the map though to make it bit more casual.
Like Terco said above all of these would be great to have honestly. Really want to see official TW development of the roleplaying side, even from a functionality side.
Just looking at these three mods that fill in three areas that seem to be sorely lacking attention right now. These are all large mods with a lot of detail and they help to bridge the gap from "paint the map battle simulator" to more strategic methodical RTS game which I think given it's potential, Bannerlord should really lean towards more in it's official development.
Huge much needed implementation of actual diplomacy which I struggle to understand why is not in the official game -
Some "Court system" functions packaged in a different kind of way -
Diplomacy
A vanilla-friendly mod for the campaign and sandbox modes of Bannerlord. Diplomacy's goal is to provide balanced, fun, and creative options for characters to have an impact on the world, including bot

We did recently get those "balanced/aggressive" stance changes to party control. But -
Party AI Overhaul and Commands
Adds giving advanced orders to your Clan parties on the campaign map, including control over their recruitment. Restricts AI sieges to borders of Kingdoms. Makes the AI more likely to conquer and less

Would love to see more "peace time" activity fleshed out too but perhaps TW are already seeing these mods and thinking "why spend development time on "X" if they're recreating it already" (albeit smaller in scope in some cases) .

Fourberie (Cunning)
'Fourberie' is a French word that can be translated in many ways, but the one that would fit the best (for this mod) is 'cunning'.Here you will get access to a large panel of features allowing y

What happened to the promised follow-up post for future plans?
They are in "crunch" mode until release now lads, @five bucks just spat facts yet again, four months on it's not on the priority list or really even in their interests to release something like this at this point.- Rubinsaw

Goodbye Mexxico, Thanks For Everything! (Mexxico Leaves TW. Tribute Post)
Rest easy King, you earned it. Hope to see you take your talents to another large studio outside of Turkey one day once you've accomplished all you want there, for one more adventure, if you still have the energy for it all Thanks again though Mex, you have truly been the best and you'll always be remembered.
That meme was so thematically perfect Terc,nailed it. If you do happen to have anymore up your sleeve please do make it rain. I also need a new signatureFar from it, quite an honour in all honesty

Goodbye Mexxico, Thanks For Everything! (Mexxico Leaves TW. Tribute Post)
That time we hoped would never come, has arrived. Mexxico’s time at Taleworlds is coming to an end on August 1st after many years working for the company since 2009 and it was only right that we not let the man go quietly into the night without raising our cups (or skulls if you're a looter) in...- Rubinsaw

Next New Big Feature after Campaign Battle Maps and Keep Battle? (W/Dev Replies)
Thanks for providing insight. Don't you think it might be better out, and modded in as opposed to being default though? I agree with being given choice but once you've been allowed to skip a basic process like riding through a town/city to reach x NPC/resource, no one would reasonably cede that knowing it's already been given. For context I do think some stuff should be easily clickable for menial tasks like recruit troops, sell prisoner, quicksell loot, but other more important stuff should never be a menu.
I do really like @five bucks ideas about things to do in cities but from what i've seen so far I feel that only modders will add that level of specificity unless something is pulled out of the bag last minute by TW.
They will probably be in "crunch" mode after they come back from holiday with a lot of pressure I imagine.- Rubinsaw

Next New Big Feature after Campaign Battle Maps and Keep Battle? (W/Dev Replies)
Agreed to some extent but can't help but feel introducing "quick-chat" in the first place might of been a mistake that can never be gone back on now. I appreciate the convenience of some when handing in quests sure but imagine this system in any other massive world rpg. Who cares if you have to walk or ride your horse through a city, thats part of every RPG ever! No matter how many hundreds of times you have to make these journeys, imagine never having to run through the alleys of Novigrad to get/hand in quest in Witcher. Fast travelling straight into the face of Ulfric Stormcloak in Skyrim. It might be slightly tedious to some but it's what makes iconic locations iconic, that you learn them so indepth it feels like a home of sorts. The music hits you, the sights and sounds combine to make you feel nostalgic about where your spending your time.
Different genre but the iconic cities in every game..Imagine instantly fast travelling to NPC's in Stormwind in WOW, or Goldshire. Or in Runescape, being able to teleport directly to NPC from the very start, no running through lumbridge cow pen or anything. Would you really add a direct NPC teleport action to these games if it was possible? (IK you can somewhat in runescape). There is no doubt the quick-chat helps but I think it is part of the slippery slope to why there is very little immersion or feeling of iconic locations & belonging in the world as it stands, beyond being a great large scale battle simulator.
This is a fantastic post actually, +1 on that I like everything you wrote and this should get more traction. These are the types of random events you'd expect to see in an MMO that encourages engagement in areas that would otherwise not see any. My only concern is the cities and towns that were given so much attention and detail, shouldnt be areas of low engagement. Making the game more menulord instead of having to ride through towns and BELONG to the world is hurting the fantasy and game as a whole. If TW or modders were able to add this functionality you described above though, that would go someways to helping.
Warframe player here too, that is quite a good idea and slightly more of a comprimise that might not overly upset the people who are more infavour of the menulord style of city and town interaction. What you've desribed is as close to a nice comprimise as i've seen.- Rubinsaw

Next New Big Feature after Campaign Battle Maps and Keep Battle? (W/Dev Replies)
Love your entire list but for me this is one of the biggest ones, having like an issues aggregator location like a capital or home fief where you can sit down with your advisors/clan/party members and perform unique actions or just assign them an available task from a pool of current issues within a certain radius maybe. The way you described this is spot on and basically just uses already existing systems too.
Even having this system as a vassal lower tier clan within a kingdom, where you can sit in your home fief with your subordinates and make choices would be awesome and really add immersion, which is the side of the game I feel is missing most currently. Hatching plots and subterfuge to advance within the kingdom hierachy (with small chance to fail actions perhaps) that doesn't just involve spamming battles for renown.
Even things like feasts which i see people criticizing as being fun as an idea but poor in actual practise, it is another layer of immersion that would still be able to offer an extra option of tactical/strategic/roleplay which the game needs.
--edit-- Just realised its probably important to add this "court" should have it's own scene like the one @Terco_Viejo mocked up. NOT just a new set of menu options picked from the campaign map view. There is far too much Menulord gameplay already.
I speculate about this big issue of missing banners and what the hell is this mystery feature the devs' seem to have avoided discussing that is stopping banners being implemented. Are banners going to be a new mini currency of sorts, collecting opposing forces banners or something mechanically difficult to implement?
Like this mod Bear my Banner already has added banners into the game without editing troop trees, so we know it's not some sort of human/horse skeleton issue. So there must be some new meta layer attached to whatever they're doing surely...
Bear My Banner
Troops bearing banners, customizable banners for each formation, tournament themes and much more!

OR perhaps as I wildly punted earlier in this thread, integrating elephants into the game and them having some kind of interaction could be a reason. Someone here on the forum did show they are already spawnable ingame as mounts with thumbnails, images and functional code for attacks and movement. Hmm.
Callum is most likely just trolling but he did reply with an elephant gif, so let the rampant speculation begin I say.- Rubinsaw

Next New Big Feature after Campaign Battle Maps and Keep Battle? (W/Dev Replies)
Wow, thanks for sharing Mr MRay! Sounds like a fantastic addition, I think I can say on everyone's behalf it's so appreciated you are giving that immersion/cinematic side of the game some attention. Giving some minor payoffs like this with an animated visual feedback and tiny breaks in the action would really give a lot of weight and feeling of accomplishment and "milestone complete" to the game. Brilliant!
If I could make one tiny suggestion for your consideration ?, I noticed you said "scene", assuming this is still in the "execution animation window" it would be fantastic if it could be blown up as LARGE as it can be, even fullscreen if possible! (assuming it isn't already an entirely new "scene"). I just think any of these type of animated events deserve to be large and centre-screen so we can admire your work and our characters accomplishment properly!
(p.s. Kings Court scene pleaseeee) Thanks again for sharing, love to see it!- Rubinsaw

Thanks for referencing the links to what I was talking about Spinoz, although @MRay stated that new events animation system will be using the current execution animation window, not the intro video style.
"it will use the same system as executions in the party screen. We hope to share more on this soon™"
Whilst that will be a great step in a much needed direction and will be hugely appreciated, im afraid it could pale in comparison, considering what you suggested having the "intro video" quality, or perhaps even "omniverse Machinima". Would love to know if that actually possible.
I also just watched this interview from 2019 before beta with callum where he said its somewhat feature complete, ofc things can change over 2 years but quite interesting. The Elephant leak does also make me happy to know they are indeed working on stuff we still have no idea about that could come soon.
Wait a minute.....What if....hear me out fellas.... Implementing Elephants properly into the base game is the big issue holding up implementing banners?!?!
