SUCH AN AWESOME MAD MOD GUYS!

[bobmunger]

Loving this ****e if I don't say so myself, it gets better by the hour.

Any word on how Pop 4 is progressing? I don't think there's been any updates on the progress for around a month if I'm guessing correctly?

Also does anyone know in what way the Total War crew is getting involved in things? I hear whispers...

Haha, but its true! This game got so much to it... More than reaches the eye The beginning is hard though ...

Best mod i've ever played...

 

[NicotiN]

And probably the last mod you will ever play....i am sorry for the other moders, there will be one less to play their mods in wich they invest so much work

 

[MitchyMatt]

Welcome to the family! as for v4 there will soon be a preview for the Melentine faction as for what Mordred said. As for the Tw guys. They are a great modding community eager to help out POP.

True... Ive tried other mods ... but i always fall back to this one because of the cool weapons, armours, units, knight-orders, large invading armies, awesome story, the discovering of hidden places and so on makes me addicted... my .... drug :O

Expect a preview shortly, few days at most.

Sairtar pretty much hit the nail on the coffin with a Preview, it should hopefully be a few days, so bear with us and hopefully we'll have something up sometime this week for you guys to "drool" over I guess ..

As for the Total War Crew comment, honestly nothing is happening there, granted we are now part of the Total War Community, since we created a "sub-forum" in their Mount and Blade section, located here but that's really about it for now in terms of our involvement with the Total War community.

Maybe, down the line, once PoP 4.0 is all said and done, some of us would like to take PoP to different games (As Elder Scrolls V and Total War have came up before), but will it happen before PoP 4.0 is out? Defiantly not.. Right now the focus is all on PoP 4, and it will be for quite sometime.

hope this helps clears things up and naturally thank you for the awesome compliments

regards,

What other Mods does everyone play?  I don't think I've played any mod as well thought out as this one. I'm kind of looking to kill time until 3.41.

Good luck.    Seriously, there is no other mod that is as close to production quality as this one is.  Treebeard is a pretty intelligent and committed coder always working behind the scenes to deliver new features and tune up existing ones.  Not to bash other mods, but most of them tend to be mish-mash of stuff that they collect from the forge and wedge it into a copy of the module system which does not yield a very organic experience for the player.

PoP is different.

As always thank you for the compliments, but as I've stated in the past let's try to leave Mod Comparison out of these forums..

Once you go down that path it can get very messy, and there's no reason to even go down that way to begin with.. Feel free to Praise us, or even "criticize" us if you have to , but naturally just "us".

I play a lot on Brytenwalda mod, rather tough like this one. Its more infantry based, and more on a historical time period. Another i mess with from time to time is Blood and Steel, its a modified native. Lots of other good mods out there.

 

[MitchyMatt]

Let's not discuss about other mods here on this thread since its not appropriate. Let's appreciate the awesome mod of prophesy of Pendor!,

this mod is just very clean.  thats the real difference.  it offers good and immersion changes.  But the two biggest factors are,

A. The community and team which alters mistakes very very quickly (and often has very few) and really listens.  As a result the production values are through the roof i have never had a glitch myself and the game plays like it was produced by a top development firm.  They also have such few mistakes because they understand the engine and don't over stress it with things like PL or tons of extra factions (which while cool can make the game feel messy and often staggers alot of players rigs)

B. The lore and background to the mod.  They really put effort into creating an immersion and succeed obviously.

 

[PineTree24]

My appologies to board, my intent was to find a mod to play on my Sunday. I can't wait for 3.41 and Sunday is my best day to play.

PoP might be my most played game in the last two or three years, not just mod. I even played PoP before Warband.  I am chomping at the bit for 4.0.

Please continue to put out quality work as like many I do enjoy it. And please "wake up that dragon!"

I'm assuming you already know this, but they got the story from old manuscripts.

Ive tried out about 15 different mods for native. Im hooked on pop. I even got command n conquer 4. (on sale at target for 9.99). Loaded it up, started to play, said to myself "meh" and went back to pop.

Thanks for the compliments, guys! We really appreciate your support, it makes all the dedicated hours worthwhile when we get even a single "thank you".

I've just finished up tweaking the Heretics for PoP4, expect more crossbows in their ranks (they recruit in Santara, a nation who have a natural affinity with crossbows) including a new, fearsome unit known as the "Possessed". Imagine Empire Crossbowmen. On a horse.

Are we able to get friendly with them and recruit their ranks? 
The enemy of our enemy is our friend...

At the moment there is no plans for that, however, they should be available for recruitment if you capture them, as they were available in PoP 3.xx...

In fact most minor factions will be recruitable via that way, with the major exception this time around will be the "Snake Cult" as since the story of PoP 4 is centered around them the plans are for them to not be recruitable by whatever means for the player in POP 4.
