The Conquest Of Siberia (Покорение Сибири). Mod is developing by Russian team but will support English language soon.
This is a kind of mod I'd like to see more often: a thrilling concept and an obscure subject. The atmoshpere of the fights is tense. There is a constant new vs. old clash inside the dense forest and impassible terrain. It almost gives you the same frontier vibes as "1866" mod for original mount & blade does... But Conquest of Siberia is imbalanced, plagued with bugs and is far from being finished. The town and village scenes are mostly repainted vanilla. The quests, the recruitment system and troop types, companions, the way the fighting feels - everything is plain and hasn't been worked on enough. Especially serious flaw is the lack of variety. All siberians wear khergit armors, look absolutely same and have the same troop types which says there was completely no research on how they really looked and fought. And it destroys the immersion. Just compare it to said 1866 which reimagined almost every concept of the game to make it fit. This mod is empty, having little to offer the player. Seeing the developers putting more effort in it's continuation would be most curious.
Good but a little bit far from great. If only all those nice lookin items werent locked behind random shopkeepers stock.
Great game so far, I enjoy the mod. It feels authentic and its interesting to play. Hopefully they will add a lot more to the mod but so far I have spent quite a few hours playing it and I like it.
COOL MOD
Very promising mod. Not perfect right now, but definitely not deserve the current low rating of 7.7
Pretty good, i guess..
