hi

There's new cool game coming out soon (August 25th) - Of Kings And Men.
I'm kinda surprised no one is talking about it because whole concept is original and unique. It's main mode is Epic - persistent online campaign shaped by players with medieval directional combat combined with crafting, clan-warfare and huge battles between up to (maybe more later!) 200 players. You'll be able to wage wars as a commander, be a soldier in an army or live more peaceful life (beneficial for your kingdom of course).

First, it's NOT a survival game like many that were released recently. It's combat was inspired by Mount & Blade but it's much more fluid and has 8 directional system rather than 4. Game's main focus will be war between kingdoms, politics and combat.

There is a community driven document briefly explaining what is Epic (it's WIP but all info has been confirmed by devs) - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qDFfJX1VNY9PhvD7NuO_bCiIAagnVbZ39dRWoZyV9D0

Some footage from pre-alpha tests (combat only) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC9vsDgclH0
Roadmap of development - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/zt8k0zg7gp8a24i/Roadmap.jpg

You'll be able to simply fight in server-based battles too( like Mount & Blade multiplayer, Counter-Strike, etc.)

Here's Steam page - http://store.steampowered.com/app/430440/

ps Want to make clear that I'm in no way connected to development and it's not an advertisement. Just making sure as many player as possible play it so I get more fun in game :3

Well, Chivalry is combat only game and Of Kings And Men offers way more than that if you read the explanation doc.

I watched the video, and similarity just popped in mind. Well, maybe it can offer more than that, but for the moment i dont see anything besides brief explanation what project should look like in the future. Another cool project that can potentially be more interesting is already mentioned - Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Yep, I'm following it too but Kingdom Come is singleplayer only so they're not really similar.

What's different from many recent medieval games is they have an actual publisher and sponsors so there's a much bigger chance of finishing the development.

Hope so, but early access is nowadays a bad sign...

Devs started development about 5 years ago. They could just work for 2 years more and release it but this way they'll be able to balance all aspects of the game.

I love Mount and Blade and this would probably interest me... if it wasn't MP-only :/

It is exactly what I thought, it has that atmosphere of Mount and Blade within an online only game, looks interesting don't like to compare games to other ones, but this one looks like a Rust and Mount and Blade mashup and it can be great.

I'm waiting for Deliverance to be released, quite expensive game tho, but it will be something like Witcher 3 in the final study, an RPG game, but without fantasy, only realism!

I spotted this recently. Looks like it has good potential, have to see whether it can offer something substantial beyond similar games.

It's not that demanding really, I played with mediocre PC in pre-alpha (before any optimization) and got ~53-60 fps with almost 200 players on server.

my specs:
i5 4690K
AMD 7850
8gb ram
