I hope Mount and Blade 2 optimizes the graphics to support really huge battles on giant maps. The battles in M&B are so much fun and I hope they go bigger in the next installment.

This is great news, I loved With Fire and Sword. Here's hoping for a 14th Century Anatolia setting!
I should go.
Continuation of Warband: Buy
Shitty game like WFAS: Mehhhh
I'd be more than happy with just an upgraded engine. It'd be nice to see Paradox put TaleWorlds and Fatshark in a room, so they can bounce ideas off each other and really nail melee combat. War of the Roses looks like it's doing a lot of things right.
If they were to bounce ideas off of eachother it looks like it would sound like an echo chamber...the melee looks identical to Warband. Graphics, UI, customizability seemingly improved, but mechanics appear identical.Originally Posted by Shodex
Exactly why they should be bouncing ideas off each other. They're both making similar games, but in the end there will be differences.
WFAS was not developed by Taleworlds, so you can probably look forward to a "Buy".

Historical settings are cool becouse of the theme and the immersion.
Fanstasy settings are cool becouse they allow for more options.
Whatever gets done, I would fall in love if they did a system of bannermen where you have vassals and have to raise troops (been playing alot of CKII and watching games of thrones). A more involved system around the characters and battles would be great. No matter what, I have a feeling that it will be a great game whatever their vision/design will be.
I somehow found a video called "Mount & Blade 2 Alpha footage", and assumed certain people around here might be interested:

It's seems I've developed a habit of posting halfway through writing. Chances are I'll edit it shortly thereafter
I hope they make battles huge and group coordination with buffs etc more important. It's nice when you get the feeling that unit cohesion matters like in the new napoleonic DLC. Thumbs up!
Top 6 wish list:
1) Make DOWs and naval combats default pop-up messages. Add a separate air vs. naval bmbing pop-up message.
2) Upgradable Soviet Guards (and elite MEC+ARM units)
3) Introcude a trade off cost of annexing/making Finland puppet in the Finnish Winter war.
4) Improve forts, engineer construction missions to get in line with the rest of the detail in the game.
5) Dissent/threat hit for refusing trade of surplus resources when one/both of the parties are at peace to avoid resource starving pre-war strategies in MP.
6) Limit GOI's
Thanks, ChienAboyeur.
I am bumping this as I do not feel too comfortable having kind of hijacked the other thread. I will have a look at the video as soon as I have a decent connection, next week. There may still be hope, though, as six months is not that long when talking about game development.

There is nothing really exciting in this video, it looks almost like Warband. In any way graphics is not priority (it's always welcome though). I wait new and improved features, but here I have to wait for anounce.
What do you think about this article claiming that Mount & Blade 2 will be coming to consoles? Any truth in it do you think?

I think they seem like gossip mongers. Pretty much like those ladies journals that speculate in which celebrity might be pregnant this week. If they are right they seem like prophets (and they won't let you forget it), if they are wrong they just start blathering about the next celebrity.
I think this http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.p...,238149.0.html TW thread summed it nicely with:"The footage doesn't, however, prove that Mount & Blade 2 is coming to consoles."
"no one from Taleworlds has confirmed that Mount & Blade 2 will be coming to console"
"this gaming company have had numerous oppourtunites to squash the rumour yet they continually say, "It's a possibility" "
=> proof that M&B2 will be on consoles.
Logic in action, a beautiful sight.
If you want a slightly more pro-console discussion over at TW you can go to this thread: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=239012.0
FSM! I am convinced. Are you?
IPU! I have faith. Do you?
GENERATION 33: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation. Social experiment.
this game would fail on consoles IMO as one of its strong points was modding community. all those mods made the game really great.

There is still no official announcement from Taleworlds at all, tough, despite the thread's title, is there?

I personally think the biggest improvement would be formations that mattered. I kept expecting them to improve this so spear men could actually stop a Calvary charge and bowmen would only be effective fire volleys together ect . I hate the whole mob feeling of every man for himself in the battles. Secondly, I would greatly expand the missions types. Take every single mod that adds new missions then try to come up with more ideas. Doing unit formations that mattered well would be worth buying another version.
Another thing is they are going to release a pirates game set in the carribean seas. Which will involve naval warfare.
Warband is destined to accustom city ports and naval warfare. This was supposed to be included in Warband.
With the pirate game, they might gain more insight on the way how to do it properly. And the developpment of M&B2 may take that possibility into account, as they might want to learn more on how to do naval warfare.
You seem extremely well-informed, care to share your sources as Taleworlds' site does not say anything about that?
Sounds good, though if they do a pirates game, certainly this will also delay M&B2.And the developpment of M&B2 may take that possibility into account, as they might want to learn more on how to do naval warfare.

The Caribbean pirate game is being developed as a DLC by a Russian company if I'm not mistaken but there hasn't been any news for a long time.
