So I tooled around the mod casually TDMing some fellow pubbies and have come to the conclusion said mod is pretty drat polished for a first release of a one man mod based on a certain era. Bayonets are fixable and bad rear end looking. The ranges of the new rifles are pretty drat lethal, plus you can reload them on the move. Pistols for Officers seem a lot less smokey compared to North And South. Sappers now have Musketoons instead of axes. You can play as a Priest. The Krupp for the moment just loads and adjusts faster than the smooth bores. The long ranged explosions are pretty deadly. Despite the limited colour palette of blue/grey/green/black the regiments of each side each has quite a distinguished and independent look. The music is very patriotic for either sides now. A lot of the NW stuff is gone. Quite a few maps are urban battlefields. Sadly drummers have more or less been muscled out by Buglers but Standard bearers still exist in the specialist options. Also you can play as Napoleon III or Bismark. A first for any game really. God help the idiots who attempt a NW style line battle because rounds will be over in two minutes.

Played a bit on a public server, it all works a hell of a lot better than I would've expected something like this could on the Mount&Blade engine. Now I just really hope the community figures out a good ruleset for the organized battles soon.

Yep, we got our line battle in 45 minutes! Goons will be line if we get over 120 on each side or Rifles if we just have around 80 in total. Password and all the other junk needed like always is in my Mumble profile. I'm looking into getting us an American Franco-Prussian War event for Wednesday night too. And Cop retired his siege event but I got us a replacement on the same day and time. Still need to find a replacement EU event for this week though!

We got our EU Tuesday Siege event in less than an hour goons, so when you can drop on into the Mumble. Don't forget to download and install Blood And Iron for this weeks new events! It is easy, It is pretty much comes with an Installer that creates the Blood And Iron folder from the get go so go ahead and do it when you can. I hope somebody is willing to record the EU event if they can that one is looking pretty full and bad rear end.

Waited almost 10 minutes, only three of us showed which isn't enough. If this happens again next week I'm pulling us out of the EU siege event but keeping us to one NW and one Blood And Iron event a week. Due to these numbers and general EU interest I'm not even sure if I should look for a new EU event for the week. Thoughts? any at all?

Oh goody, I can't wait to get exploded OR cannon balled old school style across the field! Anyway goons, tonight in a few hours we'll be rolling in our first American Blood and Iron event. First off, let me repost the download links for the mod. Download Links Download Links Mediafire - http://www.mediafire.com/download/0f3n89238s4kbhm/Blood_and_Iron.exe Moddb - http://www.moddb.com/mods/blood-and-iron/downloads/blood-and-iron/#3827056 For late comers I will have these links in my Mumble profile tonight. The file size is around 600 megabytes. Make sure the installer file is ready to create a Blood And Iron directory. If it hasn't, you'll have to quit and make a Blood And Iron folder. A weird rear end bug but Warband modding. Second, the official rules for tonight's event. Please read so I can cover my rear end when somebody messes up: quote:Infantry: SeanBeansShako fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Jun 6, 2013 |

Turn out and in general the event was quite good fun despite the small numbers at the start. We had some pretty bad rear end moments with bayonet charges and moving fire fights. For the first time ever we ran out of ammunition! Here are some bad rear end screenshots I took in 4th SAdraGoon related screenshot gallery. That turn out was awesome tonight. Thanks for showing up and having fun  .Tomorrow night is our North And South event.

Three events tomorrow. Two EU, one NW and one Blood and Iron. Then we got an American one in the evening at 8PM EST.
