Official Answer: There no specific plans to port 1866 to Warband. We reserve the right to change our minds at any time.

yeah nothing is certain but the mod is reaching its boundaries time by time. You will enjoy the final version more but there won't be too much radical changes as expected.
So, i think porting the mod to warband could be an ultimate goal.
But for now you will enjoy this mod in the future. don't worry

How difficult would porting to Warband be exactly? I imagine it'd be somewhat of an undertaking. However, with the benefits of things like switching weapon function (ranged to melee) you could pistolwhip people or implement bayonets. Also, could you guys IMAGINE how AMAZINGLY FUN multiplayer would be with this mod?
Anyways, I just recently found 1866 and can't wait to see where you guys take it.

We don't know yet. Nobody does.

I'm not that sure about this. Weapons are very deadly in this mod. We might have to rebalance them a lot to garantee multiplayer fun.Lion said:Sure, it would be fun, damn fun. I think the team is the first to realize that, but it's they who have to port it so we must give them time to do it well. (And enjoying real life is cool too)

Ah, nonesense! You just need to make the maps big enough for both sniping and approaching-behind-cover (-and-getting-into-CQC), and then the fights will be 90% sneaking and 10% getting shot. But at least they'll last!Highlander said:
I don't think that it would work well for multiplayer. It would become either trench or urban warefare.
The upgraded WB game engine may be promising for single-player mod: graphics with LOD for trees, nicer textures, new hit detection(!) calculations, dual weapon modes that allow rifle/bayonet or LeMat with shotgun (how well can the AI handle these things?), better strategic and tactical AI, better built in commands... etc
However, I would wait before trying to port it, in particular when you already have a newer version in the works. WB is still being patched and it is better to wait until the dust settles instead of porting to a new version every couple of weeks. Also, learning from the experience of others in porting mods can make the transition easier and faster.

What's wrong with urban warfare?
Nothing, except it is not really Western style (OK you can have a small skirmish in a street of a town) and the mechanics of M&B is not really ideal for that (no reload, no cover, cannot run and shoot). It will turn into a sniper war - again, not THAT bad, but not western. Other mods are probably better for such implementations.Shrugging Khan said:What's wrong with urban warfare?

+1, I could care less about this game in MP, I would hate to see realism go out the door in the name of Multiplayer "Balance" (it's already ruined WB for be to an extent...I found vanilla to be much more fun singleplayer than Warband.)
The extra features and weapon options, enhanced graphics, etc, would look AMAZING with 1866
Hope not.
