Yes, I've added this in the comments above:Do not look here said:Yeah, that confused me too. It's not just under the snow, everything on that screenie is positively frozen, except the withered flora
Note on branches and trunks (when everything is covered with frost)::
Do not look here said:Yeah, that confused me too. It's not just under the snow, everything on that screenie is positively frozen, except the withered flora
Hardly affects the immersion though right?
Oh, I don't really mind it, yeah. It's just looking a bit silly, that's all. It is also a marketing piece which needed to scream 'WINTER!', so maybe actual game will have it toned down a bit. Now that I thought about it I went back to devblog 11 video where they already showcased the seasons and winter there feels more natural to me, a touch of mud, fences aren't frozen, just covered with snow, buildings seem okay too, though maybe they're too far away.AmateurHetman said:
It may be even too mild there, too wet
I guess that's what bothering me with the screenie. It's like winter just turned to 11 on that village, I almost expect the villagers to still sit inside ****ting their pants cause of snowstorm which just passed by. Not improbable, just tad extreme (and with that in mind trees and plants look a bit out of place).
What i love on the winter pictures is that u can actually make scenes in two different seasons. thats awesome. i think about game of thrones were winter is comming. in bannerlord winter can actually come. so a game of throne mod could easily implement winterfell in summer and long winter

The once-mighty Calradic Empire is in a state of decline. Warlike tribes have seized swaths of its territory. Client kingdoms have declared their independence. The Emperor has died without leaving an heir, leaving three jealous factions to scramble for power. Mercenary companies, bandit lords and nomads hover on the sidelines like vultures waiting for a meal.
A hero who can master the art of single combat, of leading armies in battle, of plotting ambushes and raids, and of exploiting the rivalries of noble houses and tribal clans may be able to unite this Empire -- or, alternately, to deal it the final blow that sends it crashing down. Will Calradia experience one final sunset of imperial glory, or slip into a night of chaos before a new age dawns?

Interview by Nikephoros:
I've been awake for some thirty-odd hours right now, of which ten spent on a bus: back to Ankara after just 4 days, I almost can't recognize the city. Ice melted, wild dogs packs have been sealed in kennels, girls begin to swarm out in the streets, T-shirts powerfully claim their place in everyday life.
My body by now is fueled by a deadly mixture of coffee, cigarettes and fanboy enthusiasm: I am about to meet Umit Singil, one of the developers of Mount&Blade, Warband, With Fire & Sword and so on.
The meeting is scheduled right after noon, at the Teknokent hub, a group of buildings dedicated to information technology of Middle East Technical University campus. Just enough time to eat a sandwich and get my wallet stolen.
Arrived in Teknokent, calmly and a little embarassed, I begin to wander through offices, looking for the Ikisoft\Taleworlds one. I glimpse a glass-walled studio, and a giant Vaegir knight poster on the side. Bingo.
I knock shyly, and cautiously introduce myself, with my broken Turkish, mingled with English words. While they look for Singil, I have the chance to give the office a look-over: walls are covered with playbills, posters and guys on horseback, Post-its and note pads crowd the desks. In the midst of the knick-knacks which characterize any self-respecting office, though, a book stands out. An Osprey book: Siege Machinery in the middle ages. Bingo, again.
Finally I meet Singil, and we agree to continue with the interview while having a coffee at the nearby Starbucks.
Sitting in front of our mugs of hot (and expensive) coffee, we simultaneously take out two packs of blue Winstons. It's him the one who brakes the ice.
"Do you smoke?"
"Here in Turkey, either you are an active smoker, or a passive smoker."
"Well, no one wants to be passive, right?"
It seems a good start. I take out from my pocket the piece of paper with the questions, and we can finally begin the interview.
Q: You have done a great job, improving the combat system from M&B to WB. Between M&B's horizontal slashes and WB's more florid animations-in which you have added the kick feature-there is a gulf. How do you plan to proceed with M&B2? Will it be simple evolution, or do you consider to completely transform the hit and parry system?
A: We are re-doing everything again, we are not using anything from the old games. As for the game mechanics, I know for sure we are going to work on the parry system. We implemented it into the later versions of Warband. We are also rewriting all the animations for blocking, for example. Blocking was nice, but you know, was a little “blocky”, back then. There are some attacks that you can’t just stop with an upper block, you have to divert it, we are taking care of stuff like that. It’s going to be an evolution, as you said, not a revolution. The combat system is going to be essentially the same, but it’s going to be improved. A lot. We changed programming language and everything…
Q: And what about the module system?
A: there won’t be a module system anymore. It’s going to be a lot more accessible, the whole structure of the game is being rewritten, tenths of times, for the modders to do whatever they please. We created a new game from scratches. What has started as a husband and wife project has expanded, as you know, and the new code began accumulating on top of the old code. It became a little clumsy, it is natural. Have you messed with the shader file, for example?
Q: I didn’t have the courage. But I remember seeing the zombie texture around the folder, a few times.
A: exactly. Many things right now are hard coded, like animations, that can’t be changed without the help of a developer. You won’t have as many limitations in M&B 2.
Q: Regarding the map, will there be a new map? Will the world change, will it remain the same? How’s it going to be for single-player lovers?
A: the game, in terms of campaign and the world itself has changed like three times from now, but we are pretty confident we are going to keep this version. Let’s just say we are going to expand what you already know about Calradia.
Q: You know there had been many successful modifications for the game, and one of the best known is the Strategus – cRPG, which allows the players to have some sort of multiplayer campaign. Will there be any feature like that in the game to come?
A: at this stage a multiplayer, competitive or cooperative looks still pretty difficult to make.
Q: Warband opened a completely new market and a completely new fanbase for the M&B franchise. It also created a new genre for multiplayer games, a niche that some other software houses are trying to exploit. How is Taleworlds going to deal with the competition?
A: Ah, the competition… let’s just say we’ll carry on doing what we can do best: offer some historically plausible, rock-hard gameplay. That’s what we are trying to keep for the multiplayer.
Q: Are you going to focus more on a more accessible playability or are you going to keep on going on the track opened by Warband?
A: Of course, there won’t be anything like a Viking battling a space marine (although it would be awesome n.d.r.), but we won’t be focusing on a specific year. No French vs. English, for example. We are going to expand, stretch and bend it a little. Let’s just say that.
Q: still about the multiplayer, there is a diffused concern regarding TW’s support of the multiplayer community. In regards especially to “official” community sporting events, like the NC and the ENL, and in general the competitive side of the gaming. Will there be in M&B 2 a more stable and organized supports for clans, players, maps?
A: we have been talking about it a lot by now. The Nations’ Cup support, or the new website, which is a little old by now, but was intended to work as some sort of portal page, where you could register your profile, your serial, see the games you owned and stuff like that. Our best effort was put in creating a stable community that supported us, and for which we could produce stuff for. We are also working on some sort of official ladder, a series of official tournaments.
Q: what about players IDs? Will there be a system to officially recognize player names and clans?
A: we are really thinking about it, we like the idea of a player account usable for the forums, the community, the game, the data being gathered in some separate database, accessible from other computers, for example. We are working on it.
Q: And now for a particularly interesting point concerning the Italian community: will there be an official Italian translation?
A: the only translations done until now were done by players, so probably yes. The localizations were made by players who approached us, then the translations would be revised and corrected, and finally accepted.
And it is because the community OWNS the game. There have been contributions, suggestions that have been put into the game. This sense of property is maybe one of the reasons why we have such a loyal and affectionate community.
Q: Still, there has been a recent controversy, which can be somehow told like this: the attitude has changed a lot since the very beginnings where community-developers interaction was the norm, to this day.
A: We are a lot bigger now. When I got hired first, there was five people at TW. Now we are 25. Working on a bigger, better, stronger game. We don’t really have much to show now, not just yet. There has been no official press release, you know, but the word is out there. But once we are ready to show something to you guys, we’ll get back on track, receiving millions and millions of tons of feedback and comments. We are going to get back on track. We are not a huge, faceless corporate company: the community is all we’ve got.
We’ll get back on track, I promise.
Q: the most important question of all: in M&B2 will there be dinosaurs?
A: *laughs* only if you dig deep enough!
Q: speaking of phisics, how will the players interact with the environments in M&B2?
A: It’s still very early to talk, but we would like the game environment to be interactive as much as possible. The ideal would be to have the player pick-up, destroy and throw stuff. We are rebuilding, or should I say building, a physics engine from scratches.
And this is all, for now.
Because of time issues I wasn't able to talk with the big boss, Armagan Yavuz, but as you had a chance to read, Umit Singil matched up to the task, and from what I've seen and heard in Teknokent, as soon as Taleworlds will begin to pull M&B2 videos and images out of the hat, hype will soar.
When I did the interview, Umit asked me to close the microphone, and said "ok, now let's start with the confidential stuff: we will add an imperial faction, loosely based on the late roman empire, which at the beginning of the game will be on civil war. Classic M&B factions will be moved back in time and become the invading barbarian tribes.
It will be epic."
It's all from Ankara, line to Rome.

I will translate the news as best as I can.

PS
LETS GET DOWN TO IT
Better yet, delete the quote of the opening post and all of those screenshots which take quite a while to load, because it is superfluous- we know you are talking of Bannerlord, there is no need to quote the entire OP (opening post of thread)!

When I did the interview, Umit asked me to close the microphone, and said "ok, now let's start with the confidential stuff: we will add an imperial faction, loosely based on the late roman empire, which at the beginning of the game will be on civil war. Classic M&B factions will be moved back in time and become the invading barbarian tribes.
It will be epic."
It's all from Ankara, line to Rome.
Some info about their sound designers/musicians found by JabdiMelborn:
Imnotwhatiam said:J.I.A. (Jab Intelligence Agency) just informed me of something they discovered about M&B2 after intense investigation and infiltration.
I will translate the news as best as I can.

...This seems to be the company entrusted with the creation of M&B2: Bannerlod's musics and sound effects...
...I found this "Daniel Fredriksson" (@Fredriksson) on Twitter who seems to have realised some "tunes" melodies for M&B2 and after a brief conversation he wrote me this:...
N.B.:...clearlyNOTHING IS OFFICIAL YET, I simply wrote to the company that I cannot wait to listen to the musics for M&B2...
...perhaps they will be VERY generous...
EDIT:...It is official, try to click on CLIENTS on their website...

For your question, we still don't know, but there are signs for release in some shape or form in late 2017 - early/mid 2018.
BTW, just wanted to ask, does captainlust (Frank) know turkish?
PS
LETS GET DOWN TO IT
He does indeee, there are interviews of him speaking in Turkish.
A new video from gamestar where they compare kingdom come with bannerlord. At minute 1:20 or so u can see a village option menu and how u build castles and manage a village. Further at the end od the video they say that both games will definetly come 2017

All the details shown in the video were revealed at some point in the past. Also, it's disturbing how TW provided such badly processed videos on YouTube. It makes the game look inferior compared to KCD.
Anyone going to E3?
Perhaps someone can ask TaleWorlds, why they won't use Early Access to launch their game? The game is playable at E3 so it is in a playable state. (at least a part of the game is) And launching the game as a Early Access game, we can help them tweak some stats and discover bugs.
Somewhat... well I don't want to use the word unfair, because we don't really can demand or have the right to demand to play the game ourselves. But still it is strange they first say they hope that they release the game at the end of 2016. Which has become end of 2017/anywhere in 2018. So if they launch Bannerlord as a Early Access game we can play the game, and help the development a bit. and still be able to scratch that itch. They should ofcourse only release the sandbox, and not the story mode/questline.
The stuff I have seen from screenshots, even the livestreams and videos from a year ago looked impressive. And people *****ing about bugs and broken stuff will still happen even if they release the game in 2020. (just a example/exaggeration) Only then people would be even more upset because they would have been waiting even longer then they are now to play the game. with the bugs and all including.
