I am soooo looking forward to this game... :)
 
That engine really looks fantastic, I am really looking forward to this one myself!
 
I played this last week before my old laptop was destroyed.. I must say it was one of the most addictive I ever tried.. I played Vikings version.. still haven't tried napoleon... this new one you mentioned is it out yet or under production?
 
Bannerlord is currently still in development, it has been in development for several years, but it is getting closer! I haven't seen a release date yet, but you can follow their Devblog HERE, you can also follow development on their forums HERE!

Nice find Bartolomeu, thanks for posting mate! From what I have seen so far, the engine is quite impressive, I really like the that character generator, and the map is a big improvement over the old one! I am hoping for a new Blog update soon!
 
Yes, the character generator is really good. Now, we can create our own face :cheeky And crafting a sword is also interesting. From what I understand, we can choose the shape for the blade. ( A possibility we cannot find in Skyrim )
 
It had been a couple of days and I was just getting ready to check, thanks mate! :onya

I really like what they are doing integrating the castles into the villages, one was quite dependant on the other. I am really curious to see exactly what they mean by siege engines need to be built first!

I also like how they describe the dynamically changing map, and, and being able to play games with Lords and Ladies, not just in a tavern, good stuff! I will have to learn more about the weapons crafting before I have an opinion on it, it looks interesting, but I will have to see it in action. I am gonna have a tough time finding free time to play all these great games coming out games next year!
 
One of my all time fave games for sure actually I'm still modding M&B Warband. I hope one can mod this upcoming new version as good as warband for instance. Thanks for the heads up Thagarr wasn't aware of this upcoming gem.
 
This game is going to be amazing. I love warband and vikings
