Wait, this is remake or what? I already have this game.

 

[Slepowron]

It's the English version of the "Ogniem i Mieczem: Dzikie Pola"

 

[ComradeOm]

I'm going to ask the same question that I did in the other thread: is it just an international release of the Polish/Russian version that's already available or does it include additional content/changes?

 

[Dreadlord]

Ehe , i noticed that in the map you can see the talewords writes under constantinopolis(as a reference to the turkish background of armagan) and the paradox on top of the stokholm

 

[ECLoco]

Is this another expansion or standalone?

 

[Aurelius4444]

I guess (and hope) that's a remake of original With Fire and Sword with Warband features such as multiplayer.

 

[Slepowron]

The Polish version indeed has the MP from WB (with some additions) and is standalone.

 

[delra]

C'mon Paradox. Tell us how it differs from what was already released in Poland.

 

[Darthvegeta800]

Are the Teutonic Knights playable in the storyline/single player? Or does one have to side with other factions?

 

[Filou]

The 5 announced factions are Tsardom of Moscow, Polish Republic, Crimean Khanate, Cossack Hetmanate (Ukraine) and Sweden.
No Teutonic Knights mentioned.

They didn`t exist at that time anymore, reduced to Ducal Prussia (Polish vassal) in 1525. Game takes place in the middle of 17th century.

Are the Teutonic Knights playable in the storyline/single player?

No, I think that the game is set during "The Deluge".

Aaaah I thought it was taking place earlier or semi-fictionally. But in that case I have little interest in this one. Too bad.

Meh - these guys are way more awesome than Teutonic Knights.

 

[Yazem]

Are there like a Developers diary for this expansion?

 

[Darthvegeta800]

roflmao.

 

[unmerged(63836)]

Nice, truly 4chan-esque eloquence.

 

[Darthvegeta800]

Was there more to say about it?

Well this sounds fucking terrific.


Every time I read about this game, I get that itch to play more Warband.

It's a good itch.
