There were already guns in modulation packs, but I also love this game in a somewhat disturbing manner. Best 10 bucks I've spent in a long time, when M&B and M&B:Warband were 85% off on steam 
Nice to see they are moving forward, but hopefully they do it well.

I bought M&B early during the beta and played it disturbingly much, but I've never tried Warband. I'm always suspicious about adding firearms to a mostly melee-based game. Like how PVK is ruined. People who don't see it as a problem always present the "Well yeah but if you get close to them, they're dead!"-argument. There's the "if" in that sentence, meaning there's a propability of you dying before you even have a chance of fighting back. Dying to something like that, even if your team wins the battle in the end, doesn't make for good and fun gameplay.
Then again, they already did two games with no guns, so I guess it's okay if they make one with them, even if it happens to suck.

Hmmm i just hope they take out the "begging for babies" aspect of recruitment, i didn't like traveling halfway across the damn continent rounding men up.
course the reloading will give the gunpowder weapons a weakness, i reckon players will begin to use them as one-shot shotguns before legging it away to reload if they can.

There's a mod called Diplomacy that fixes that, you need your own town or castle (not village). Then you can appoint a guy that recruits troops for you, up to 50 at a time.Pandalisk said:
OT: The Mount and Blade series is so good and fresh that in my mind they can't do anything wrong. I'd buy the next one ahead of any other game I could think of.
Well, maybe not ahead of KOTOR 3 if that ever happens...
Deadly. Just finished up a run through of warband. The change to a historical period is a little disappointing but whatever I have faith
BTW Poland, Ukraine, Sweden and Russia are north eastern Europe not western. Western is France moving to Portugal and central is around Germany.

Couldn't say it much better.Johnnyallstar said:There were already guns in modulation packs, but I also love this game in a somewhat disturbing manner. Best 10 bucks I've spent in a long time, when M&B and M&B:Warband were 85% off on steam

I wasn't too excited for MB Fire & Sword, but the new setting and expanded strategy stuff looks like its enough of a change to pry me from MB:WB
Awesome can't wait! I loved the original Mount and Blade and i love Mount and Blade: Warband and i'm sure i'll love this. Another thing i would like them to add is the ability to have children so that if your planning on starting your own kingdom and becoming king you could get married have a queen and pop out little princelings. Is there a release date set yet?
Wait it's finally translated to English? I've been waiting forever for this. The adaption of By Fire and Sword is one my favourite foreign movies of all time. This summer I watched the entire >12 hour trilogy.
This is excellent. Warband is a great game, and my gripes with it were very little (sparse campaign map, dumb-as-hell lords, poor interface in parts). This looks like it could be everything I wanted in Mount and Blade.
Oooh, I've lost so many hours to warband and the associated mods, I can hardly wait for this new one! Kinda sad my personal faves, the Rhodok, won't be in, but historical accuracy can be fun too.
