Mount & Blade: Warband - Viking Conquest DLC (Release Date: 11th December)

[Froi]

Was a pretty junk trailer in my opinion.  Should have released another in-game trailer showing off some other new features.

Its not a feature trailer. Its a hype trailer.

OMG soo cool vikings! IWANTITNOW kind of thing. It works great for players that are not following the DLC already (and that prob already did a pre-order anyway).

Next week we will get the game... so kind of manual/faq... in another week or two we will have a full wiki and tutorials online from fans. And reviews. Lots of those

 

[DINOSAURS]

I thought the trailer was pretty fun, gives a good spirit to the project.

 

[Asulador]

I'm pretty sure they made a lot of effort in depicting an accurate skirmish/raid with accurate 'Viking' equipment.
Props to the production crew!

Spoiler

That guard tower was essentially useless for not spotting those bright colored shields coming to attack the village.

 

[Nevino]

So does this game have it's own forum? or is it goin to be on here?

 

[Gylve]

So, considering we've seen the map and knowing beforehand we'll have the regions of Ireland, Scotland, England, Denmark and Norway...

What are you guys playing as? Scandinavians or Anglo-Saxons? Picts? Irish?

Spoiler

Personally I'll aim for my homeland and roll with a Norwegian Viking.

Pic related.

I'm likely to have a game as a Scandinavian, a game as an Anglo-Saxon and game as a Briton (Alt Clut).

 

[Adorno]

It's up to Taleworlds, but I'm guessing a sub-forum will be up after release (Dec. 11th.).

 

[Extradaemon]

The option to build your own refuge, hire staff for it, and populate it with the wives and children of your troops...

Could we maybe hear more about this? It sounds like an interesting feature.

 

[Urban_Viking]

With the release date, i am in Brisbane Australia what time will i be able to play it from steam? Being an Australian i usually get stuff a day later than the actual date based on American time. But if i get it based on turkeys time, they are only 8 hours behind me.

When they tell me its the 11th i am overjoyed then i realize its the 12th, its oppression.

First and probably main character will be a scandinavian.
As a southern swede I feel torn, I'm bummed that I can't play a swede. I think playing a norwegian viking might be more fun than playing a dane.

Second character I'm not sure about, but I'm sure I'll focus on riding. I know the real vikings brought horses at some point, not sure how that'll work in game. So I'll save the mount part of mount and blade for more land based fighting.

When I'm basically done with endgame I'll probably try derping about as a trader or some ****.

 

[JohannGustavson]

As for me I shall be playing as a Norwegian since my grandfather came from Bergen, Norway so I see it only to be fitting. Plus I love the vikings culture, religion, battle styles. I believe I shall mostly play as a berserker if they add  in wolf and bear skins into the game, if not then ill fight naked XD.

 

[hoe12moe]

I'm gonna play as a Finn because I'm pissed off that Finland isn't on the map even though it has nothing to do with the setting!

You can probably get captain flust to do that

fins belong on fish not mount and blade.

At any place you can choose to build a refuge, and in several stages expand upon it to garrison more troops/people.
Here you have a safe haven and can hire different staff, like a captain, physician, trainer, cook etc.

That sentence didn't made any sense.
