Be warned that these quests provide fairly stiff challenges. Talk to a king/queen when you reach level 10 to receive these quests. Also, there is a quest given by each faction leader which is rewarded with a unique new weapon. Talk to the guild master, lords, ladies and village elders to receive these quests. Crash a wedding and be a hero to some, a villain to others. Help the Guildmaster track down cheese thieves. Dozens of new quests await you in NE, given out by a wide assortment of NPCs. Here are some faction by faction details below. We tried to add a lot of flavor into the mix, but balance was the goal at the end of the day.Įach Kingdom has an entirely reworked troop tree (expanded below), built from the ground up with a standard formula to ensure that no 'super soldiers' sneak in and every faction has its own strengths and weaknesses. Rebalanced Kingdoms, Troops and Items Every soldier and item in the game has been overhauled, with careful attention paid to game balance. We stand on the shoulders of giants and reach just a little bit higher. They have a chance to die when they lose all hit points.Īfter that, our goal is to provide a rich gameplay experience that doesn't change what you'd expect from M&B, only makes it better.

In some mods, swaybacked horses count as lamed, i.e. Thus the best use for Champion horses is to give them to the companions who fight on foot, and ride them after you dismount said companions. First and foremost, our goal is for us and others to have fun.Įven if you steal a horse from a companion, and it goes down under you, it will not get hurt. You can liken it to us trying to follow directly in the M&B developer's footsteps.

Whereas many other mods strive to differentiate themselves by radically changing the game or its mechanics, NE is an attempt to take the same awesome gameplay experience which makes M&B so fun and put it on steroids, by adding missing features, fixing native bugs and extending gameplay further. Native Expansion in a nutshell Native Expansion in a nutshell is just that - an extension of the original game, Mount & Blade (and now Warband). Without these two, NE wouldn't exist.Josef - Much quest design and porting NE to WarbandLav - Stringing together all sorts of NE partsdaumor - Ditto.Pellagus - Models, textures, art, ideas, moderation and more.soulmata - One of the current dev team, along with LavLav - Ditto, on top of tons of useful stuff outside of NE (like better presentations)ThunderClaw - Honorary mentionFuture NE DEV - Could be you?Contributors, past and present:Lord Samuel - The amazing siege ladders packkt0faradondejawolfdarielAlphaDeltaWei XiadiamadeWellenbrecherTempereddstemmerTheMageLordMiratheiChel.
