Oh boy oh boy oh boy, I'm first! Um umm ummm

yEEEy

Am... am I doing this right
--- Automerge ---

Also, what the crap

 

yay update \o/

 

My city in a oficial post! A great honor to Isengard house.

 

Barbarians trying to read maps?
...
ADVANCED AI CONFIRMED!!!!1!!
Now where did I park that hype carriage...

 

yay

 

TL;DR

 

Good thing the crash acted as a fail-safe, or else the entire internet could've been burned and pillaged by now!

 

Now we only have to enforce EU data regulations on them Barbarians!
Notorious trespassers and bullies, I don't think they can be impressed by paperwork, though.

 

....they're.......learning.....
O.O
quickly quickly wipe their memory before they become self aware.
or....don't im sure google will peak an interest. ^^

 

Medieval Engineers 0.6.3.836C74:
- Fixed crash reporter not reporting crashes because it crashed.
- Spectator camera now assumes control when you switch through items in the medieval master screen.
- Sweet bread, linseed oil, palmtree branches, clay jars, roof tiles, and the palm tree log can now be used to pay taxes at the claimblock.
- Plugged another memory leak.

 

i want to play a game where i am the barbarian with a treasure map... discuss.

one of my weapons is a memory leak sword. i am guessing at the end the treasure would be a reformat of the host drive? i am a digital barbarian and i crush you all...

 

A memory leak's worst nightmare, while it runs around avoiding every pointer - especially the dangling ones, is the null device. But the word on the wire is there are rainbows and unicorns in there.

 

TUUUUESDAAAAAY \O/

 

Medieval Engineers 0.6.3.BB14BD:
- Reduced memory use on DS by tweaking character stat synchronization.
- Fixed a crash when DS is restarting.

 

An update...Yippy!!!!

Any update is a good update.

Thanks

ps: I still miss the videos for the updates and the community spotlights on builds and mods.

 

to keep my hope alive, could Keen toss me a date this summer you think a major release update is pending? plus or minus a week or two is fine, i'm just fading away now... i think the barbarians reading maps are having more fun! i'm positive here please don't misunderstand the push but its time... its time to build my summer castles again! last year we had a fun spike in interest, looking for that again!

 

0.6.4 Soon™

I can't really say more than that. These things take time and I'd rather be late on a release than mess it up

 

Saves will be complatible, right?

 

Best.Update.Ever.

 

Hello again. And I apologize again for my English. And me again with the same request, add the mechanics of wind that you could do all sorts of mechanisms on wind-powered. I ask you to please people very much. Question. And when the game will be gunpowder, guns, explosions?. Mods don't count.

 

Wind power were added with mechanical blocks. Physic based windpower which affects small blocks would be too complex for CPU. Also there is water on the queue first(!) if that much complex overhaul ever re-considered.

 

You get that everywhere else, don't you? So don't spoil our game with that.
The day ME isn't medieval anymore, I'd have to say good-bye.
Could still be you get what you like in a future product. Someone else has been mentioning 'colonial engineer' or something.

 

I think primitive guns would be good. There were guns in late Medieval period. Imagine sounds of guns firing from walls.

 

No thanks. Once we had gun powder, everyone would aim at blowing up things, why then build intricate siege towers and siege machinery if all you need is black powder for 'BOOOM'?
I'd rather opt for bow and arrow implementation, that is more rewarding.

 

And that was quite literally how the middle ages ended. The thing going BOOM being the Constantinople gun, and the thing getting blown up being the city wall of Constantinople.
I can agree from personal experience. I've started using peaceman's bombard mod a week ago, and my craving for building trebbies has gone to about zero. Then again, this was all in creative, so I've not (yet) encountered the problems of actually building the cannon and acquiring the large amounts of gunpowder you need for a single shot.

I also agree on the bow and arrow part. That makes much fore sense during the early game. It does, however, require some tricky animating. And yew trees. And maybe an archery skill bar. Everyone can shoot a crossbow, but using a longbow requires years of practice. And I don't know if a skill bar would suit the game well.

 

Let me in this context remind of another favorite game of mine, "Mount and Blade Warband", which has a marvellous implementation of archery from ego view - and this since the beginning, 2010 (or even 2008 if we talk about the first version, without 'warband' in the name). With learning and mastering archery, as your character advances in skills. Also from horseback. Shooting with a bow requires so much more skill than using a crossbow... This is nicely shown there.

Not sure if we need a special tree for it, Yew is famous for English longbows, but only for those, while the rest of the world used other wood or a combination of some. The Hungarian short recurve bow has two sorts combined, and it is a horseman's bow by tradition.

By the way, talking about 'BOOOM' again, Turkish game studio Talesworld, who brought out M & B Warband, later published a sequel called M & B "with fire and sword" which was settled sometime in early 17th century in an East-European setting, including firearms and grenades. It did not have the success of the medieval-themed M & B, that is why the next game they will bring out will be placed back into medieval time, as M & B (2) "Bannerlord" (currently everyone is waiting for this). So I guess the audience does want the medieval setting without blackpowder stuff more than with it.
Mods are the solution...

 

That depends on the audience. I, for instance, love early modern guns. I have played Blood&Gold:Caribbean!, which uses the M&B engine. It is a mixture between M&B and Sid Meiers: Pirates! and is set in the late 17th century Caribbean. One might think there would be an abundance of naval warfare in a pirate based game, but there is also a lot of landside warfare (and sieges) as well, and it's quite well implemented as well. There's also bows, and an archery skill, but you get bows and more importantly arrows only from fighting natives, so learning it is not too feasible. I usually ride towards the enemy, shoot my carabine, throw a few grenades, and return to my army to wait for the remaining foes.
Also, wherever possible, I try to mod in muskets and other one-shot guns. Minecraft, Skyrim, ME - you name it.
What I feel is that there's an abundance of first person RPG/adventure games with bows and arrows, but hardly any with muskets. I guess because they don't shoot fast enough and are too loud for stealthy attacks. It's a bit different with strategy games, but there you are usually not really IN the battle, just floating above.

 

I am aware of a number of mods for M & B, but this project I have never heard about. Sounds interesting, as I am also playing 'Naval Action' you can imagine I like age of sail games as well. I will check this out, thanks for hinting! (NA is my advice for being the Caribbean naval combat you seem to have missed there in Blood & Gold: Caribbean - in return, in NA we find no landbased battles - it's early access too, right now in development)
On an engineer side note: you can build ships in NA, though not with the freedom as we have it in SE concerning space craft. Blueprints are predefined. Wood choice decides speed, agility and resistance to cannon ball impacts. Plus a number of upgrades with bonuses for the ship. So if you like age of sail simulations, this is the one to check out. Can be played only when online, because it's multiplayer-based. The PvP is rather rough against the Pros, reviews on Steam give you a picture of beginner's frustration because of this, I advise to try out on their PvE server.
