New Mount and Blade info/Advertising on Internode

[Scorch!]

So as a regular lurker on Internode Gaming Network (popular here in Aus), I usually scan the pages for interesting info, but today, this came up:

http://games.internode.on.net/content.php?mode=news&id=3109

I gotta say it was suprising to see the exposure on Internode (which is always good) and this little tidbit of information:
[quote author=internode]...and will include various weather effects to contend with...[/quote]

Sooo, it looks like one of the features coming up will be weather effects!

 

[Janus]

Well, rain, fog, and snow are already in for battlefields, which is what it sounds like it's referring to.

 

[Scorch!]

O rly?

hmmm... ive never noticed any weather effects, except fog.

still, its good to know that the game is getting some exposure.

 

[Lord Sami]

It's good indeed. But while browsing through all the screen shots (not only the ones visible in the article), I found that many of them were reeeaally old. But then again some of them were of things I've never seen before. Still a pretty good review.

 

[Scorch!]

Yeah, Internode has a habit of not updating/removing old files and pictures.

And you'll notice the review says a few things that are pretty clear to us over here, like not being sure how many men you'll be able to command.

 

[HardCode]

Well, theoretically you don't know how many men "you [will] be able to" command (it's the future tense), because it is based on Leadership, Renown, and Charisma. But you can pretty much deduce it from the basic calculations. So in a deep down technically correct sense they are right. But I doubt they wanted to come across that way

 

[Scorch!]

Well thanks for overanalysing HardCode


I'm also excited to see that it will be coming to Aus in stores, which i will definately go out and buy I didn't really expect that it would be, because i wasn't sure how far Paradox Interactive was going to go on release, but I've been pleasantly suprised.
