New Horizons for Mount Blade?

[Talisman]

I do own mount & blade (Albeit the more recent "With Fire and Sword") and it is a pretty great engine to work on. I have several years experience with coding games and I understand the M&B coding pretty well too, if a project like M&B: New Horizon's would come out I volunteer to do some coding work. One tip is to use "With Fire and Sword" as that is a further build on upon Warband and it features period accurate muskets, pistols & grenades already.

Suggest you look at the "Hearts of Oak" forum - we are looking to move towards using the Unreal engine

I've modded M&B for years (see sig) and have plenty experience with it.

Sea Dogs is a pirate mod under cosntruction, and for the old versions of M&B, there was a very fine Pirates! mod, http://mbx.streetofeyes.com/index.php/board,13.0.html which, unfortunately never got finished, but I played the betas and it had what is mentioned in the first post, a sailable map, ship boarding combat, cannon shooting, land battle.

Due to the way the engine works, I'd say everything ship-related is much much better in New Horizons, based on POTC. M&B's ship combat was basic and clunky and very unconvincing.

Whatr M&B has done a much better job at than POTC, hands down, is melee and ranged combat, which somehow just feels a lot more organic than POTC's, and is a lot of fun in 1st person too, which is nearly useless for me in POTC.

So, the combo of POTC's ship battles and M&B's fighting would be a lot of fun indeed in the new game.
