Fight in the Napoleonic Wars in New Mount & Blade Warband DLC

[News Portal]

TaleWorlds has announced the imminent release of a new DLC pack for [app=5714]Mount & Blade: Warband[/app]. Due to launch this autumn (spring in the northern hemsphere), the Napoleonic Wars add-on will strive to re-create the look and feel of early 19th century warfare, supplementing the mounted combat for which the series is renowned with 220 unique historically accurate units, including cannon and rockets...

I really look forward to this I found Mount and Blade Fire and sword quite meh but this is focusing on a period im a lot more interested in.

should be free as F+S was just warband and added a pistol and musket...

[Napoletana]

Huge fan of Mount & Blade, but I think the time period is a bad choice for DLC.

Although there is usually a rushed and seemingly pointless campaign with little to do, M&Bs one redeeming feature is the amazing melee/mounted combat.

Why not a DLC set much earlier, say the rise and fall of the Romans? Play to your strengths TaleWorlds!

Another mod being copied and turned into profit.

It wasn't until I posted I realized it says Mount and Blade: Warband. Is there a mod of a similar thing for Warband already?

I dislike the use of gunpowder in mount & blade games

Mods like 'Prophesy of Pendor' bring out the potential of Warband. Sure its harder then the usual mod... But so much more satisfying.

Yeah the gunpowder in mount and blade makes it too hard to have fun the fun was mounted melee combat. Now its too easy to get shot.

This looks cool but I know I won't want to be anywhere near the fights but back with the arty.

Gondor is NOT going to like this

I'm a little dubious about the 250 player thing too. If you load up a custom battle with 250 bots you'll probably start to have terrible FPS unless your graphics are lower / you have a beast of a GPU. So they'd need to heavily optimise it as well as the netcode...

Plus like Napoletana said, they should play to their strengths.. just focus on improving melee combat, mostly animations, maybe add new things you can do etc. Make shields only block the area they cover....

Bit odd that this isnt dlc for with fire and sword imo. Thats the game thats almost in the napoleonic era already.

Tacking it onto warband is a bit odd
