ddickinson: Even when you live alone, mums are still all powerful and in control. They have this special power that makes them head of the family, what they say must be done, or else. And no distance is great enough to stop them. :-)
It's fun seeing my mum take charge, my three brothers and my dad revert to little boys when she is telling them off. She very rarely shouts, she just calmly speaks. But you can feel the power she wields, having 4 big strong men not dare go against what she tell them to do. And men really think they are in charge of things. :-)
Are you still thinking of getting the game? Or have all the bad reviews put you off the idea?
I'll repost what I posted in the announcement thread, but won't omit the full statement from the Snowbird website this time:
"Caribbean!" will be released in 5 days, still unfinished!
That's right, as of this moment the date of release has been set to 20 th February 2015. But the game will not contain a lot of features on it's day of release. Interestingly enough, the game will receive content crucial(!) to the game, AFTER the official release.
Giving an incomplete list of things that will be there from the beginning :
- Completely new fame / renown system.
Become renowned sailor, feared pirate, well known merchant or outlawed smuggler. What you can do within a game depends on whether you choose to get military or trading fame.
- Taxes and smuggling
- New Quest receiving system
- Completely new Town outlay, and different system of building in towns.
- New economy system
- Character traits
- Many other minor and major things. Really kinda lot (More than any other
- Advanced Diplomacy and troop commanding
- Advanced morale system, having a lot more impact on the battles than ever
Mount & Blade game before)
But the game will have features that will be added to the game LATER and this are very crucial! Contains the following :
- Multiplayer Game (!) - That's right, the initial release does not contain multiplayer, players have to wait for it to be finished first.
- Naval sieges
- Creating your own towns
- Strategic kingdom control
- Units forming regiments in fights (Player and NPC owned troops with officers, drummers, flag bearers marching in one formation)
- Fort / Castle management - Need to repair walls, buying cannons and other things to make it harder for the attacker.
- Ability to enter taverns
- Native tribes
- Walking on the city scene
- Female characters.
As you can see the amount of things that will NOT be added on the initial release, is so big, you could already form a new M&B game out of it, but developers calm us, that all or at least most of this features will still be added to the game, later and most importantly for FREE.
