With the release of Warband beta version 0.700 the new map has been revealed. As expected the Sarranid Sultanate is situated in desert terrain, fairly secluded in the southern part of the map. There is more coastline with fjords and peninsulas. A large portion of the map is in fact one large peninsula stretching westward into the sea, with desert to the south and snow to the north. The Vaegirs still inhabit the snowy region where Tundra Bandits now roam. The factions have also been given new colours:
The Sarranids are yellow. The Rhodoks are now green. The Nords are now blue/teal. The Vaegirs are now beige/white'ish. The Khergits are still purple. The Swadians are still orange.
When the upcoming expansion Warband was first presented it was with the news that a new faction would be added. According to IGN the new faction is called Sarranid Sultanate, based on medieval Arab cultures. They live in desert area, a new addition to the overland map that has still to be revealed. A new architectural design has been made for the 'Sarranids'. Here are some screenshots:
Our friend Jezze has released an updated version 0.21 of his BNL Series Eighty Years of War mod!
The BeNeLux Series Mod, takes place in the 16th century, when Belgium was a Spanish province (with small northern France and southern Netherlands parts). A rebellion in the whole land started and was followed by 80 Years of War.
The different factions are: the Republic of Holland, the County of Flanders, the Principality of Liège, the Kingdom of Spain, the County of Frisian, the County of Henegouwen and the Duchy of Brabant.
The current features are included in this mod: - Banking feature of the Gameplay mod of Garnier - Naval Combat, with credits to; Mirathei, Ruthven and everyone for bugfixes - OSP armor & weapons, with credits to; All the makers of the OSP pack - Armors from the Eagle and the Radiant Cross, credits to; D’Sparil - Armor and weapons from Talak’s Armory, credits to; Talak - Battle Morale, with credits to; Chel & Mirathei - More Metal Sound Pack, with credits to; Checkmaty
This is the new version, V0.21. It is a bug-fix of version V0.20 and because of the many files changed and added, I recommend that you download the whole mod again to prevent any errors. The bug-fix is not save game compactible because of some large changes made in the mod. Hopefully you will like it
After some time due to a January first massive hangover, here are the results of the MFB 2009 Screenshot competition! You can see the winning screenshot just below.
We thank and wish good luck for the next competition to the others participants, Xopur, Weren, and Lord Aedin, they actually submitted very nice screenshots too.
Adorno easily won the contest with more than 40% of votes cast in this poll, with this screenshot of these two vikings boats near a village.
So we're happy to announce that he wins the famous MFB T-shirt. As you can see on this picture on the right that he put in his profile, he really needed a t-shirt anyway ! :)
Today we added a new mod to our "Mods & Addons" section, this is Song of Taliesin, a dark ages mod taking place in northern Britain during the 6th century. It features wars of Britons, Anglo-Saxons, Picts and Dal Riadan Scots.
As Kolba nicely wrote it, this mod seeks to replicate the brutality, danger, and general atmosphere of the Dark Ages, an early period of Medieval.
We are trying to make as historicaly accurate, as we can, to make an excellent springboard from many mods, which are not always accurate. Note that a lot of stuff in this period is strongly hypothetical - text sources tend to be very scant for these times. However archeology give us a lot of information, so it's our main source telling us, what happened after Romans withdrew from Britain. Let me present you all features of this mod!
The MountFanBlade team wishes the M&B community a very happy and successful 2010. Our thanks go out to all those mod makers, designers, script developers, scenery and texture artists, and all others who make the community enjoy this game so much!
Also for us as MFB staff it has been a hard working year with the launch of the website, and a very successful experience, and it seems that you like it, since for this last month we reached several times 1000 visitors by day !
Thank you so much and long life to Mount&Blade/Warbands community !
