original m&b took aprox 6 years to make. Warband came 4 years later, following the original's success. Warband was easier to make, since its just improvement of original, but bannerlord is made from scratch. So it would be ok to wait for 5 years for this game, being releaed around 2015 or 2016. Mount and Blade it self is quite innovative game and it takes a lot of work to realise. Do you even remember how the origianl was. The gameplay was AMAZING, the combat extermly enjoyable and stuff and it took 6 years to make it. AND it was just that, graphics and some rpg elements were left out, until warband came out and introduced "better" graphics, more rpg elements, and most importantly, multiplayer. The franchise is legendary (excpet for failure that WFaS was) just because of the idea - mediveal combat, with close-to-real phisics, rpg, open world sandbox, BOWS, CAVALRY, SIEGES. It was every RTS nerd dream, to experience stronghold crusader, as the soldier. And its just bullnumber2 talk, that its "just a redesign of warband". NO, they are making this completely new, fresh, without leaving ANY aspect out, as they did before (graphics). And since now its more than 2 people working on it, you can expect it done at the same time original did. 6 years maximum. What you say - "made already 4years" thats ok, as long as the expectainon, that it will be before 2017 doesnt go *poof*, we are hyped, and im sure that they have done a lot of work by te 6 months, but it wasnt anything eye appeling, it was more just code and more code, so its ok that some blog might not contain any updates, since all they could have just said instead - oh yeah, we just ironed out some issues, added shader colours for modders, made functional doors and more faces. But instead they made up lore, thats more interestenting than puke filled faces. Just swallow the lack of progress adressed and live on.
