Title: Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword Post by: Stormwaltz on January 21, 2011, 05:42:44 PM Set in historic Europe, at the dawn of the gunpowder age.
Quote Based on the original gameplay of M&B: Warband, With Fire and Sword is an action-oriented role-playing game with emphasis on mounted combat. The player is able to join one of the 5 battling factions, fight as a mercenary and bring his faction to dominate Europe.

Looking forward to this, the one thing I always felt M&B could really use is a tightening up of the 'lore' so to speak and something like this should help with that a lot.

Title: Re: Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword Post by: NiX on January 22, 2011, 06:57:34 PM Still no multiplayer co-op :( And so I pass. Title: Re: Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword Post by: ashrik on January 26, 2011, 09:56:40 AM I hope they're planning to do something about that archaic UI, and add some more tools for modders. How interesting that they are talking about endings to the game
Title: Re: Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword Post by: Paelos on January 26, 2011, 10:41:09 AM Still no multiplayer co-op :( People never make these kinds of game better for me. I'm odd that way.

Really? Any reason why? I guess it depends on what you're thinking co-op is. For me it would be drop-in co-op with friends. I would definitely not want to play the single player campaign with randoms. Title: Re: Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword Post by: Paelos on January 26, 2011, 12:20:01 PM Yeah I guess the thing is that outside of my 11 year old MMOG guild, I don't have friends that do the gaming thing. It would be randoms which make me want to not play.
Title: Re: Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword Post by: Mrbloodworth on January 26, 2011, 04:00:49 PM Yeah no one wants to play campaign with randoms. I just want a 4-8 player campaign type game.
Title: Re: Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword Post by: Speedy Cerviche on January 31, 2011, 10:39:04 AM This is kind of a "professional mod" for M&B, a new conversion made by a dev studio, licensed from Taleworlds, for commercial release. Not a new expansion which would add a feature like coop campaign.
Seems to be aimed more at the Polish (along with neighbouring central/eastern european nationas) domestic market more than anything else, since it is based on some historical novels which are Poland's version of "Romance of the 3 Kingdoms". I think the studio that is making it is Polish too.

Fakedit: "CD Projekt has announced a spin-off called Mount&Blade: Ogniem i mieczem (translates as With Fire and Sword), based on the historical novel With Fire and Sword by Henryk Sienkiewicz, developed by Snowberry Connection, Sich Studio and TaleWorlds Entertainment. The game will be set in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the playable factions will be Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Sweden and the Crimean Khanate. The planned release date was Fall 2009 in Poland, Sweden, Ukraine, Russia and the Czech Republic. It was released on December 4, 2009." (from wikipedia) Title: Re: Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword Post by: NiX on January 31, 2011, 01:36:03 PM Oh, CD Projekt? That should be interesting.
Title: Re: Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword Post by: Speedy Cerviche on February 01, 2011, 08:04:07 AM I guess it's first Polish/Euro release did decently well, coupled with M&Bs continued growth & popularity, that they are updating it for a warband release with english translation.
Title: Re: Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword Post by: Stormwaltz on February 03, 2011, 08:39:12 AM Trailer released. It appears to be all in-game footage (albeit with some truly obnoxious motion blur), but no gameplay is shown.
