That game looks even worse than this one, and that's saying something.

It has better graphics than Darkfall (easily) given the correct mods.

[Wonderboy2402]

Yes!

Excellent news, i was wondering early today what their next project would be. This is going to be so awesome.

[Paralda]

Cool. Mount and Blade's combat system is awesome.

Please, leave your ignorance and bias behind when you post in this forum, go download the demo.

They say they are leaving out "map mode" and will have deathmatches, sieges, and team dms. I'm not sure how items and skills would wotk though..

HOoray!

as bad as it is, at least the rest of your body follows your torso when you swing a weapon. fucking darkfall.... /facepalm

[DeadlyHit]

Ain't this like the 10th thead on this?

[Lethn]

Good to see that they're getting multiplayer up but its a fucking shame they've neglected to try and fix sieging or diplomacy ( what kind of siege only has one extremely easily defensable entrance to go through? ).

Aw that's a pity :/ Would have been pretty damn awesome with the map mode..

Castles were built that way.

Yeah I'm pretty sure sieges were conducted by having all your soldiers walk up a single ladder in an orderly fashion, lrn2comprehend

Notice how he was talking about castles, and you were talking about sieges?

Sieges do suck in M&B.

Given the fact that the original quoted post was using the word siege as the act of assaulting a castle and he commented on the defensibility of the castles, perhaps I misunderstanding where my statement would be incorrect.

A siege is the act of surrounding a town, castle, area, ect... with the intention of isolating it from receiving any help. I used it incorrectly and Toilet comprehended the statement incorrectly unless of course Lethn was also using the word incorrectly.

Man that demo was like a..demo.

Hmm Multi Player on it would be mucho fun.

[orince]

guess what... its not good

[Strangia]

Hm, this is a great development. Mount and Blade is a great game, no other game has that great of combat.

And those that hate M&B probably get their asses kicked by Looters, and give up.

I think I just shat myself.

I can't wait for this. Seriously, now or it's /wrists.

No sieges weren't that way learn history nub and even then some castles had things like secret entrances etc.

Oh by the way yey for diplomacy at last, I might re-download now and try.

Sieges were a "who can wait the longest" contest between the attackers and the defenders.

At the invention of the battering ram and the catapult it was "Who can fight the hardest".

When the cannon came along it was "Oh shit, defenders better run".

Yeah, that's a catapult and battering ram or siege tower

Not... One really narrow ramp that only one soldier can get up in a queue thus easily making it defendable for the bloody defending army because they quite literally just stood their hacking away as each man stood up to fight them.

Even then if the numbers were enough attackers would attack different points at once to make it more difficult for the defenders to concentrate.

Lol, some of the towns have gates, and others have "siege towers" (movin narrow ramps).

I still don't see why if I have about 200 soldiers I should only be able to build one.

[Deten]

That will be EPIC and great

[Moofin]

That will be awesome! It's just a shame that Darkfall is coming out so soon in comparison. Not that I want it delayed again. Just sayin'. Probably won't be too terribly interested.

Siege towers are a thing of Tolkein's books, they were rarely used in combat.

They were very costly to build and were flammable. They moved slowly and could be knocked down fairly easily if the conditions were right. Along with that, if there was a ditch or something they'd have to build a bridge over it or go around because they were either rolled on logs or used wheels, which couldn't maneuver the ditch.

That dosn't change the fact that they are in the game.

[padge]

Good to see that they're getting multiplayer up but its a fucking shame they've neglected to try and fix sieging or diplomacy ( what kind of siege only has one extremely easily defensable entrance to go through? ). run up the ramp and jump over the wall. it bugs the AI and you can take a castle of 600+ with 40 troops. even better if they sally out to meet you.
the sieges were way to easy to take. in fact i took over the world with less then 100 troops. just tell your troops to stay on the outside of the castle. the enemy ai will stay guarding the entrance. you can go up the side and kill them looking the other way all day.
