I hope the modding mechanics allow him to add white walkers and the ability to go beyond the Wall

not tested that upload, but it should be fine. It's tweaked to my liking since I didn't mean to share it, so you might not like a few design decisions

Greetings warriors of Calradia! Gamescom is around the corner, and as you may have imagined, we will be there showcasing Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. We can’t tell you exactly what we will show just yet, but we can at least confirm that it will be something slightly different from the demo that we took to E3.
Before the hype goes through the roof: no, we won’t announce a release date for Bannerlord at Gamescom. Of course, we know that you just can’t wait to know when you will be able to play Bannerlord, and we certainly appreciate your excitement for the game – we know that impatience is just a reflection of the love people have for the Mount & Blade series. Over the preceding days, months and, well, years, you have repeatedly asked us why we can’t just tell you a date – even if it’s just an estimation, a window of release. Well, let’s address the elephant in the room…
We have not disclosed a release date so far because it does not exist. We don’t work like that. We are not a company who sets a timeline to release a product and then works to meet that deadline. We are TaleWorlds Entertainment: we create games because we love making them, and we want them to be the best games that we can possibly make. We think that our fans don’t deserve less than our best efforts, our total commitment. We don’t believe in releasing a game before it is ready just because we might miss the hype.
Landon Perez
“But all these companies give a release date – why don’t you?” We respect every approach, of course; we are not saying that if a company announces a release date then they are not trying their best to develop a great game. It’s just that every company has a different philosophy and a different set of circumstances. For example, some companies have publishers, shareholders, investors and owners who press for a release date, even if it means cutting content from a game.
We are not in that situation, and creating the best game we possibly can is the most important thing to us. With that in mind, why limit ourselves with a release date if no one is pushing us to do so? And how would setting a date and then pushing it back further and further be better than not giving a date we are not sure about?
From a business perspective, there is no benefit at all for us to delay the release. The only thing that is important to us is developing a game that is truly unique, something that you will enjoy playing as much as we love making it. To sum this up: the release date will be announced only when the game is ready. Until then, we greatly appreciate any feedback we can receive from the community on the sections of the game that we are excited to show. Feedback improves the game!
Having said all that, we understand that some of you might fear that we are abandoning the game or that we are stuck in development hell. We can assure you that that is not the case: we have of course made our share of mistakes and false starts which have added to development time, but not more than what could be expected from a project of this scale.
Joshua Powell
Why so many years then? Well, the main reason is the size of the game. Bannerlord has a huge sandbox campaign which contains a number of different features that players can experience and enjoy. This includes, but is not limited to: fief and kingdom management, a deep trading system, a diplomacy and relationship system, and epic battles with hundreds of on-screen combatants that the player can command. Then there’s the multiplayer aspect of the game, featuring a matchmaking system for the first time in the Mount & Blade series, which lets players test their combat and tactical skills against players from all over the world. We are also working on ways to support our fantastic modding community by making the game as highly moddable as possible. Five years is actually not that long for the development of a game which encompasses as much as Bannerlord does. There are a lot of fundamental tech and architecture changes compared to Warband: it’s more complex than just adding some new textures and animations. It involves the technology, such as the new engine we built from scratch, but also the system, the mechanics – this is about balancing the invisible, the look and feel of the gameplay.
This is why we have not announced a release date, and why we won’t do it at Gamescom either. And these are the reasons why we think of it not as a sign of weakness, but of respect for our work and our community. We are working as hard as we can to develop the great game you are all waiting for, and our primary focus is the quality of the final product. We want Bannerlord to be the best game that TaleWorlds can create, and we won’t take any shortcuts to get there.
Finally, we would like to thank you for all the positive comments on last week’s blog – we look forward to seeing you next week when we will publish the Q&A with Armagan Yavuz, the founder of TaleWorlds Entertainment and game director of Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.
James Collins
I'm pretty sure they just cranked up the numbers for bannerlord. If you look at the previous videos, everything seems to do more damage, not just horses, but units probably have more health as well to compensate.

Gavin Wilson
what about censors
Carter Jackson
downloading the mod and seeing for yourself is faster than doing that
Tyler Mitchell
I'm posting Cao Cao in honour of the poster who was posting in honour of the original Cao Cao poster until we get a good Romance of the three kingdoms mod.

Jayden Jenkins
I've put in the path correctly multiple times, made sure my windows security permissions were correct, and made sure my python was 2.7. I still can't quite get the module system to quite work and I keep getting the python not recognized as a valid command. Is there anything else I should check?
Ethan Johnson
The fuck are these low res animations when something is like 20m away?
Why does Dickplo not have Formations and AI plus other mods?
Dominic Rogers
it does have formation AI though
Carson Young
But it does. It has formations and AI. You have to turn on AI formation use in the camp menu.
I just wish dickplo had pre-battle orders and deployment. Could also use more lewd scenes, and better animations for the orgasm. Then it'd be perfect.
Leo Torres
is it just me or is phantasy calradia pretty fucking difficult? im only level 3, so maybe itll get easier with time
Xavier Perez
get mages or shadow wizards
Ethan Fisher
Greetings caocaoposters of /mbg/! Titus is around the corner, and as you may have imagined, we will be there showcasing a good Romance of the three kingdoms mod. We can’t tell you exactly what we will show just yet, but we can at least confirm that it will be something slightly better than it being vaporwave and getting nothing.
Christian Bennett
>why limit ourselves with a release date if no one is pushing us to do so? This is one of the worst work philosophies out there.
Luis Price
someone should take dickplo and put at least five or so more scenes
Brayden Gray
just watch porn instead and fuck off
Evan Hall
>Titus is around the corner
Has he finally got the god damn cross?
Daniel King
would you really rather they release something shitty and unfinished?
Andrew Diaz
yes
James Harris
thats pretty dumb, bro. look at the quality of mods we have; other than the ones that only add peripheral features like dickplomacy, and maybe 1257(havnt played, idk the quality, but looks good), theyre mostly pretty shitty. mods likely wouldnt do much to fix a shitty base bannerlord
Parker Reed
they did it with warband
Christopher Morgan
Someday brother...
Ryan Rogers
If dubs release date anounced this year
Jace Walker
I'm posting dancing Stalin until we get a good Slavic mod.
Colton Jackson
And Warband wasn't even a good game, technically speaking. The concept was what sold the game, not the execution which was rather poor tbqh. So I don't really get where their 'oh we want to make the best game possible' mentality comes from, it's not like they have any experience with that and it shows with Bannerlord, which looks like a nicer version of Warband.
Luke Cook
>which looks like a nicer version of Warband pls elaborate
Landon Gray
Warband was fucking amazing considering no other game had done anything like it ever.
Gabriel Clark
this. warband is the game ive wanted since i was 11 and played rome :total war and wanted to be able to fight on the battlefield. and i just learned about it a few months ago

Is that the Mountain Blade

No. The real Mountain Blade is in your heart.

Chase King
>there are people in this thread RIGHT NOW that won't unite the empire in their first playthrough
Mason Price
>The only options are zero discipline with no deadline ever or shitty, unfinished rush job
They've been working on it for what, at least 5 years now? If they stopped fucking around trying to add every new feature that popped into Armagan's head, nailed down the design and committed at least internally to a deadline, allowing themselves some extra polish time if they needed it, they could release the fucking game and it wouldn't be shitty or unfinished. One extreme being a terrible idea doesn't mean the opposite extreme isn't also a terrible idea.
Nicholas Collins
west empire best empire
Eli Miller
That the original line too. I watched that movie before DickplomacyAnon an hero'd and was still actively updating so I had to do something with it.
Julian Nguyen
I thought the mountain blade was a person
Ryan Myers
I thought it was the friends we made along the way No, that's the Bannerlord
Levi Baker
Custom troop mod is pretty cool but way too easy and way too limited by the lack of any actual fucking items in native. If I could use it in other mods like awoiaf it would be goat though
Henry Jones
It's a shame that AWOIAF doesn't seem to be open source. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, I wasn't able to find it.
Cooper Watson
too easy because of how shitty native troops are
Nathaniel Long
Speaking of combining CTT with other mods, suggest good open source ones for me to merge it into, preferably ones that are very visually distinctive and have nice looking armours and stuff (I'm going to make a trailer for it that will include showing its mergability).
Yes, I'm going to attempt to add PBOD first
Thomas Adams
Not sure if open sourced or not because I'm a dumbass but ACOK imo has some of the nicest armor of any mod
Easton Cook
there's really not that many open source conversion mods in general. I guess gekokujo and hispania but neither are particularly distinctive, swedish mayo is open source too but it already kind of has a CTT-like feature. VC might be a good option if you have it.
Aiden Thomas
what do you think this "handling" stat of the weapon means?
Adrian Ramirez
TURKS! NO!
Lincoln Jones
That's the opposite of open source I'm afraid.
Damn, I don't have VC right now but I do get requests to merge into it.
Aaron Moore
>metrics instead of goats per line fucking finally
Brody Bennett
I'm pretty sure the weapon length in warband is in centimetres too, it just doesn't tell you
Caleb Miller
Maybe, but atleast now we can see projectile speeds
Camden Taylor
Been out of the loop for awhile but has there been a world map/factions revealed for bannerlord? It's gotta be more than just fucking rhodoks and nords after this long
