Age Of Change II What will the future bring? We are proud to announce that we are planning a totally revamped version of Mount & Blade Warband.Our idea is to make a mod where story and plot is integrated more in the new and revamped factions.The age in focus will be 1450-1620, the transition periods just at the end of the medieval ages, into late Renaissance.This give us the possibility to have firearm units, while still keeping infantry, archery and cavalry.You’ll see historical accurate troops nicely integrated into Calradia realm, with a historical mod planned for third release.Totally revamped factions but still made with the Calradian factions in mind will be the main deal in Age Of Change II. We have also decided to add many new factions,four Monastery orders, Teutonic, Templar, Hospitaller and Dragon but also a small viking faction lurking at the very edges of map +6 surprise factions.With those factions in mind, we’ll implement an original plot, which the game will follow!
looks interesting.
Are they sleeves by his side ? Does anybody know why this is ?
Robes were a bit different in medieval then we know them today, sometimes sleeves were detachable, semi attached or even not a part of the robe. Archers usually had sleeves like this so they could more easily aim. Medieval "doctors" also used this kind of sleeves to keep their robes clean.
This wasn't a case only in Europe but in Asia and Asia minor too.
Take a look how this Mongol warrior has moved the sleeve: I53.tinypic.com
cool, thanks Zimke :D
No problem, in addition here are some Byzantines ilustrations from Ospreys (we gotta take Osprey's editions with great reserve because of large amount of incorrect data, but the general idea about sleeves is represented):
