Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Old Discussion Thread

[AmateurHetman]

There is only one thing I need now, I want towns to remain the same during sieges , we should be able to fight in the streets and then to the keep , I want to look at beautiful town , in times of peace and war , not some randomly generated scene locations for sieges .....WYSIWYG towns and battles

the answer is the siege defensive video. they are defending a town and u can see that only a small part of the walls are accessable. so the answer seems to be: no you cant fight in the citie u can enter in peace time. seems to be the same as in warband

Not really... Most of the sieges we saw were castle sieges, even in warband pecefull visitation/wondering and siege scenes were the same for castles anyway. The battanian city siege however was the only sieged city we saw and there was not a single video or pic showing it's streets while not under siege... So, no there's no conclusive evidence that siege scenes for cities will be compatible with their peacefull visitation scenes.

Um we saw dunglanys in peace time during the PC weekender live stream. As far as I can see, the siege uses the same scene, so I think we can expect fights in the streets of the towns.

No man, it still could not be the same, it's hard to be sure. The siege involves a batannian city streched betwen two cliffs with a courtain wall crossing through a valley and connecting both... I checked Dunglays on that pcgamer video and in 5:42 the player could be looking in the direction of the gate and external walls but there is a building in front of them and it's impossible to tell. I like to think you are right, but I cant tell for certain.

I understand what you mean, but you can't deny that the Dunglanys look is there during the siege scene. Plus, we do see houses and streets in the siege gameplay, so even if the scene isn't quite the same, I assume there is still the possibility to fight in the streets. I'm going to compile some screenshots to compare and post in a bit.

So, Lust's remark about "in march you will know why we have been so silent" is just about that they sold to pcgamer for that feature?

I'm sure there is, but I don't think it's gonna be the same sort of thing that we had a while back. Y'know, with three different stages; walls, town square, and keep. I bet they're just gonna have that one stage that is focused on the walls, but still have some streets open behind it, but not a lot. This would give you the option to fight in the streets, but I don't think it'd be optimal.

In one of the gameplay videos you can see a troop called "imperial crossbowman" in a village's garrison.

Oh ya I remember that. Thanks for reminding me man

I'm really starting to think i'll need to have a battlesize of 40 people maximum if i want to get decent graphics on this putrid rig. I'll just compose a group of bannerlord-swadian-knights (whatever that unit may be).

I asked CaptainLust about this on ask.fm, maybe he will answer.

Here I have highlighted a rock wall that seems to be present in both the normal Dunglanys and siege gameplay Dunglanys, but from different sides, first is internal, second is external:

Second one is also non upgraded version of the city. Remember 3 stages of the wall.
I  - Wood
II  - Wood + Stone
III - Stone
