This is great news, maybe now more people will play it. The article also says that the final release date is Q2 2008.

As long as this doesn't mean Paradox has a say in the development of the game
I suppose it's a good thing - and it can only bring more players to the game

I think those screenshots are from a new version as well - looks like some of the towns have had an overhaul, there's some more of Ganbat's awesome art, new NPCs too...

Yes, the 'You were victorious' screen is new to me,
and I can't remember having seen the very first screenshot (top left)
that looks Moroccan (or middle eastern at least) 

At Gamershell.com it's still the old screenshot 'selling' the game 

 

[Jericho]

Very cool! I can hardly wait to check out the new town layouts!
Shouldn't be too much longer! 

 

[Oubliette]

Just a thought, but the new town layouts could be for the Khergit towns, and possibly part of a move towards fleshing out the background culture of the mysterious Rhodoks.

 

[Jericho]

hmm,
I assumed the screen shots were of Khergit towns with that Moroccan look to it. Also
I was under the impression that the Rhodoks were an off shoot of the Swadians, but
that assumption was based on the similarities in some of the armor IMHO. 

 

[Merentha]

Very nice.  Congratulations armagan, getting attention on a broader scale is definitely something you deserve. 

 

[Diego Alatriste]

Congratulations, a very good new, I hope we´ll see soon a lot of new players.

 

[Llew2]

Good stuff! 

 

[Vovolov]

Nice, I really like those screenshots.

 

[Haupper]

Did I just see one obese NPC? 

 

[Drengi]

Also is that another NPC Companion in the second picture?
I've never seen a troop type called that.


Bunduk?

 

[Janus]

Cool deal.

EDIT: is this just online distribution rather than a boxed version?

 

[Archonsod]

Cough

 

[Odin1970]

I'm happy for the devs but please dont let paradox get thier hands on any development aspect of this game. Are they going to be publishing the game only? If so, thats cool. I would also still prefer to buy it directly here rather then do business with paradox and thier gamers gate.

I'm sure Ikisoft is clearing room at their office for these developers Paradox have evidentally produced from their hiding place in their  rectal passage as we speak. I bet they also specifically waited until the game was over 90% completed to get involved specifically so they could influence it's development.

Yup, sounds like a cunning plan to me.

 

[Kolba]

Great news here! And very nice screenshots

What an *******, **** you pal.

 

[Cymro]

Sounds great, and good luck. Finally, M&B will get the recognition it deserves*, rather than just a random indie game on the internet.

*Although I doubt the average EA "new"-game-a-year gamer would be very impressed, but they don't count


EDIT: He was being sarcastic.
