Has the EB modding team ever considered...

Mount and Blade friggin rocks.

What the heck is it? I went to the website, but I couldn't find a coherent explanation.

What do you mean? Look at the first link, "Tale Worlds...". It's a 1st or 3rd person action/adventure game where you fight in battles whilst leading men. There is mounted combat as well, hence the name of the game. As Fleeb said, it friggen rocks. Try out the free trial version http://taleworlds.com/mb_download.html and I'm positive you'll buy the full game after trying it. It's extremely cheap for such a versatile and fun game.

Who thinks the EB team should do a mod on it though? I'd pay good money to get my hands on that mod.

It's a really fun game, but I don't think the engine is well suited to classical era combat.

Nice idea, but the chances of this happening are about a billion to one.

Well, certain modders have already introduced formations into the game, so that it's less chaotic in battle. I think the engine is pretty good actually, but it will never reach hundreds of combatants, though I'm ok with that. I think quality of fighting is better than quantity, in a game like M&B. Leave the epic battles to RTW, and the individual deeds of warriors to M&B.

Maybe leave out the Romans and other Imperial cultures, and make it a Northern and Eastern European mod, so that it can be of a more tribal warfare type nature?

lol, I realize that, but maybe I can convince the team? I can dream can't I? :)

Try the battle size changer

Mine's set on 300.

I love M&B.

Puts bigger games to shame..

I really don't think the EB team would ever do this. After all, we need to release 1.0 for RTW before we think of anything else.
