Mount & Blade Warband: Napoleonic Wars Multiplayer DLC Announced!

[Muskeato]

Yep. This is exciting all right. Now all we have to do is convince people to stand in a line or column

I reckon the real issue will be forming a square :P

[Cynwulf]

Very excited about this. 5 nations probably Britain, Austria, Prussia, Russia, and France. Too bad no allies of france such as Saxony, Bavaria and Poland.

[Vincenz0]

We included Polish units in the French army though.

[SirCymro]

Brilliantly done trailer as well as the mod itself, great to hear its going to be coming out soon!

[ChinpoUK]

Definitely looking forward to this!

Are they going to patch With Fire and Sword first? Geeze that's still badly broken... I noticed that Paradox removed any mention of that game from the forums, is it because it's never gonna get patched?

[North_Wolf]

Fire and sword got me fired up to play something Napoleonic (I still enjoy the early era though) so I am very excited to hear that there will be a supported DLC.

On the MP only side, I am assuming the usual robust bot system and skirmish modes stay in? Not having a campaign kinda makes sense since this is a formal war setting, but I would still love to be able to play with bots in as many settings/situations as possible.

Warband I tend to play bots with Arena and 8 vs 8 (alone or with the family) this setup is AWSOME.

Fire and Sword does not have a small tight map like that (sadly) but the captain co-op is great (the family is less keen on it then arena in warband though).

Hopefully the Nappy edition will bring something fun for small scale play, I will be getting it in any case due to the period and to support the series.

Taleworlds does the patching. I reckon Paradox renamed the forums because Warband is getting more and more sub-games so it wasn't really sensible to try to make a longer and longer name..

[Red_warning]

I wonder what factions it will have. Britain, Russia, France, Prussia are for certain I think, but who will be the fifth faction? Austria? Italy? Sweden?

[Muskeato]

Italy wasn't a nation, unless you're thinking of the puppet Kingdom of Italy Napoleon formed. Almost definitely Austria I reckon.

[Nikolai II]

Without Austria no battle of the three Emperors - so it should be in.

I'd think Spain would warrant a faction more than Prussia, but that's a more open question.

[Scorcher24]

Is there any more accurate release date yet?

[Uokko]

To answer some questions,
-The 5 factions in the game are: France, Great Britain, Prussia, Russia and Austria.
-The release date is 19 April 2012.
-This DLC doesn't have anything to do with "With Fire and Sword", Napoleonic Wars is in fact the next version of a popular Warband mod called Mount&Musket, that has beeen out for 2 years.

Is this confirmed?

[Uokko]

Is this confirmed?

Yes it is.

[Grombeard]

Yes it is.

Nice, just 2 days to go then...

[Palisadoes]

This looks like it is going to be really good. I've pre-ordered on GamersGate for £7.95.

[flybyu]

Is this MP only or can you play it in SP as well? I keep seeing MP this and that but nothing about SP.

"Multiplayer DLC"...means MP only.

[Liniert]

Any idea on when this is going to hit steam?
