The M&B Mods I'd love to see

I have a few ideas for mods I'd love to play. Guess they are pretty obvious and possibly they've been mentioned before. Never the less... here goes.

1. M&B Bushido.

Set in the Sengoku Jidai period of Feudal Japan. Japan is a divided nation rival warlords are fighting for control of Japan and the title of Shogun - ruler of Japan.

Gameplay. At the start of the game your character would be an unskilled Ronin. Working as a hired guard or given missions by various lords. Alternatively your character could stay Ronin, become a bandit or advance in the service of a given Lord.

All the standard mission types would fit in well with the Medieval Japan era and the combat would be amazing. The addition of a 7 Samurai style mission would be really cool too.

I guess the overall objective of the game would be to rise to Lord and ultimately to Shogun. I'd like to see village, town, city management as part of this - so there would be more strategic depth as well as combat and wandering round the map.


2. M&B Pendragon


Set in the time of King Arthur. Playing as a native Britain or a Saxon invader. This mod would be ripe for the inclusion of "Magic" and some extra stats concerned with chivalry.

3. M&B Olde England

Set in the time of the Norman Conquest. Play a Saxon, Norman, Independent Baron or bandit leader. Map of the British Isles divided into regions and counties. Each county to have a Baron who is either aligned to the Saxons or the Normans or is independent.

Interact with King John, Robin Hood, The Sheriff of Nottingham and Richard the Lionheart.

Goals as Saxons. Free England from the tyranny of the Norman oppression.
Goals as Normans. Conquer those hairy Saxon dogs!
Goals as bandits. Make loads of cash, kidnap those fair maidens, ambush either faction.

4. M&B Outremer

Set in Palestine in the time of the Crusades. Play as Crusader or Saracen. Fight for the control of towns and cities in the Holyland.

5. M&B Vikings

Speaks for itself. Advance from warrior to Jarl. Lead raiding parties into the British Isles. Gain loot and power, trade across Europe. Serve the Byzantine emperor etc... lot's of scope for action and adventure.

What do you guys think? What mods would you love to see? If anyone would like to work on a mod for any of the above, I'd love to be involved.
 
I've changed my M&B to be Danelaw themed, sort of.

Vaegirs are now Norse, and Swadians are now Saxon.
Thinking of perhaps changing few of the weapon names if possible, and if reasonable.

Butchering Knife could be that crossbreed of the viking shortsword/dagger.

The Counts are Jarl's, and the King's have more norse-like names.
I have yet to fix the names of a few troops such as Vaegir Caravan and war patrol, other than that, the unit names themselves are just fine.
I actually think some troops are changed.

I'm still working on changing names and such, and wouldn't want to release it before it's actually done.

I want to change some of the conversations of the king's and jarl's for when you advance into a new rank.
It also includes attackable peasants, which I found in here.

What barbarian themed game without being able to play a brute? :smile:
 
Vaerraent, have a look for the thread 'Daimyo Wars - Unification of Japan' I am planning on making such a mod, or at least just add Samurai armour and weapons =D

One idea for a mod perfect for the M&B engine came to me earlier, and that would be....

Cowboys vs. Indians!

(While a historical mod might be one-sided, morbid, and depressing, you could always go with the fantasy style west, or simply focuz on cowboys and outlaws)

The only real coding needed would be solid code for guns. Not my favorite setting, but nontheless, it would be unlike any other game out there, and indeed one of the few western styled games.

You could even herd cattle as "prisoners!"
 
My ideal mod, besides Daimyo Wars: Robin Hood Mod
The hero could be either Robin or a member of his merry gang, fighting alongside or against the evil Sheriff, or with the King.
 
I would love to see a mod based on the Three Kingdoms Period of Ancient China, like the setting in the Dynasty Warriors series and Kessen II. I would prefer one based more on the Dynasty Warriors games rather than on the actual book though. I would fight for the kingdom of Wu, alongside Zhou Yu. I would crush the wandering Nanman tribes, commanded by Meng Huo and other tribal kings. It would be great.

I don't know what dynasty this is, but a mod when the Chinese started using Cannons in their wars against each other would be nice. :smile:
 
Are there any pure game play improvement mods? I'd like to see something that jsut upped the pace of m&b. Say, make everything 1.5 times faster? Tweak damages, give pikes/polearms more reach, but make them slower. Basically like a "hardcore" mod that just made combat more fast and furious.
 
Holy **** I just remembered that I bought the third one a few weeks ago for some 8 euros (The power of haggling) or so. Is it any good?
 
Actually haven't played the third one, but if i remember right it got good reviews. Plus it's a myth game. That means medieval, zombies, dwarves with explosives, terrain deformation, dismemberment and flying body parts, to name a few.
 
I think something set in the American revolution, or the Napoleonic wars, would also be interesting. Maybe even as late as the Civil War. You could have calvary, saber and bayonet fighting, etc.

I think a modern era mod has potential, but the downside would be the almost complete lack of melee combat.

I don't know if this could be done, but if someone could replace the normal plate model with a black armor that is metal-coloured? I've whined about he current platemail on a thousand occasions. The Black Armor isn't like a metal corset, but the color makes it a bit less nice on a noble knight.

Myth 3? It is good, but nowhere near the greatness of the first 2.
 
You would waste alot of the game to make a civil war mod youd throw weapons out the door Accept for a few swords no more bows youd have to do a tough mod for guns and reate them all Their wouldnt be armour Change the map change battle maps

But if somenes willing to do it it would be quite fun!
 
I just thought of another interesting and viable mod idea...

A fantasy setting focusing on Centaurs. Perhaps you'd play as a centaur, or even someone riding on a centaur, who could attack independently :grin:

interesting: yes. but viable? as far as i know, there isn't and will never be a way to add ai to your horse. and there isn't a way to make the centaur as a charecter and mount him/her either. as for the first idea, of just riding a centaur that doesn't attack, it could work. i don't see the point though. and it could be hard to put other centaurs in the game. i think you would need to create a charecter with an invisible model and set the mounted bit on it, and make its only horse a centaur.
