Mount and Blade: Legions Mod Extended

[stupac]

I think many folks here would be interested in this development. Some members on this board tipped me off to this incredible game, Mount and Blade, which I have really enjoyed. A beta has been released for the vastly improved Legions mod, which is set in EB's time period. While it could use some historical work, I'm already enjoying some of action, it's kind of link playing EB in first person combat. For those not familiar with mount and blade, it's an action/rpg with the best combat model I've seen for hand to hand and calvary combat. It uses an feudal model for your relationship to other characters in the game world, which carries over to Legions at the moment, probably until they manage to modify to a more realistic model. Right now they got LS in the game, so might also be nice for any historians with some time on their hands to go to their board and set them straight so to speak. They have done a top notch job on much of the skins and models though.

Indeed.... I have been playing mount and blade for over 2 years now and and play its mods and EB quite often.

I guess I can let the cat out of the bag, and inform you that I am the director of the mod.

In regards to such issues as LS, im aware of its historical inaccuracy relevant to the time frame. As stated in my FAQ, I mention in the future that units equipped with such armor, will only be accessible once a reforms trigger is satisfied.

When the product hits the later stages of developement, dont be suprised if you recognize elements of Europa Barbarorum within it, as I will confess that my many hours playing EB has been a great source of inspiration :)

Glad to hear it! Love your work, the mod is already very well polished. Enjoying it very much.

I'm a little confused about Mount & Blade. Is it a single player game or do you log into online servers? Otherwise, how could the trial download file be so small?

In either case it looks really interesting.. will definately have to give it a go!
