Sweet Realistic Medieval Combat (Mount and Blade)

[Crazed Rabbit]

Just a little update on some newly released mods.

Over at the TaleWorlds forums, some great mods have been released.

The first (I've tried) is the new arena mod, which adds a whole bunch of variety to arena fights. You can do jousting, 8v8, 1v1, 4v4, 6v6 in a 'fortified' arena, and-in the greatest breakthrough, to me, 2v2v2v2 and 6v6v6v6. That's right, 4 teams, all fighting one another! And it works great!

The other one is the new version of the renasiance (sp) mod, which adds a buttload of sweet new late medieval era weapons-halberds, flamberges, landsketch (sp) swords, rapiers, etc.

The newest version of the LOTR mod has just been released too, along with a small mod adding a mauser.

Armagan the Benevolent has just released some new screens of an upcoming version of M&B!

And let me tell you, they are amazing!
New vegetation...


Even more awesome than that are the shots of several different cities...




And, a new running animation, or perhaps even a difference between running and jogging?


But the very best of all, in my opinion, is the culmination of medieval combat, the great goal towards which we have yearned for so very long...
SIEGES.

Aww yeah, baby!!

Many more at http://www.taleworlds.net/mb_ss.html. I suggest you check 'em all out. The bottom 3 seem to be rather old, but every other one is from the next version!

There's also some cool mods in the mod section, ones that add 66 new, different, modeled weapons, others that add farms that you can buy, a conquistador mod, with beta released.

Right now it's only $14. It'll go up after the new version comes out. This is an awesome game, and I urge you to try it out, and buy it if it strikes your fancy.

Ho ho holy cow.

long time since I've played this...but seeing those screens urges me to play once more !

Those screens look good but the promise of siege battles is just awesome...

And those maces - are they ? - look very very good, not to mention deadly.

Thanks for the pics and information CR, very good, very good indeed.

Argh... Or rather unargh! Now with this update there will be yet another round of absolutely sleepless nights, and I'm looking forward to it.

Armagan has gone nuts! Wow. Siege wasn't even part of the original idea IIRC. This is probably mission-based

Impressive development, thx Crazed.

Thanks for bumping this- I had wanted to check out the demo awhile ago but forgot about it. Great stuff, I hit the lvl.6 limit in one sitting.

I guess I'll have to cough up the 14 bucks.
