I wonder do we first see finished Star Citizen without monthly subscription and pay for being able to move a mouse or Bannerlord II ? It's so exciting! Maybe Bannerlord devs should add free KEBAB to each edition?
I don't think Star Citizen is ever releasing in a properly finished state. I reckon it will be abandoned in a few years at some alpha stage and given to the public to attempt to fix/finish

I agree, as long as free KEBABI is added to each BLORDII im in for collectors edition, i will not pay for Chris Roberts yacht and plane insurance.

Star Citizen is a money laundering scheme, mate. Wake the fuck up.

Greetings warriors of Calradia!
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord features six distinct cultures, all of which are based on real-world medieval civilisations. Each of these cultures sports their own unique types of clothing, weapons, armour, and architectural styles, bringing a high-level of diversity to the continent of Calradia. However, there was one aspect of the game that was a little lacking and not entirely in keeping with our efforts to create a huge, believable game world. And for a game with the word Mount in the title, it is something we thought we should take a closer look at... We are of course talking about horses!
A while back, we introduced you to our four-legged friend, Humphrey the camel -- a new type of mount that has made its first introduction to the Mount & Blade series in Bannerlord. We figured that it was only fair that one of the staples of our franchise got in on the action and be represented in a variety of its majestic forms. In other words, we realised it was time to stop horsing around and put a little more effort into one of Mount & Blade’s mane attractions.
Previously, the only addition we had made on this front was the horse mark system that we discussed in a previous blog. The horse mark system is just one of the many small touches we have added to the game with immersion in mind. But, by adding unique horse breeds, we realised we could take this one step further by tying these new additions to existing gameplay mechanics.
In total, we have added six new horse breeds to the game; each of them inspired by real-world breeds from Europe, Africa and Asia. Each of the new breeds is attached to a different culture in the game. Each particular breed can be further trained as a war horse, which will be much stronger and tougher but will also be much more expensive. So, overall there will be twelve types of horse, in addition to pack horses and mules.
Horse breeds have different stats that give them unique advantages. Players will no doubt pick those that suit their play styles.
Aserai – Desert Horse: Legends abound on the feats of the famed Aserai horse. And for good reason. These animals bring together the perfect combination of swiftness, grace and endurance. Aserai horses make excellent war mounts. Their riders, however, have to take good care of their horses, since they are typically rather more expensive than other types.
Battania – Highland Pony: Battanian mountains are among the harshest environments in Calradia and Battanian breed tough horses that can withstand conditions that few horses can.
Empire – Saddle Horse: The empire has a long equine tradition and through time, they have strengthened their local breeds by crossing them with the best specimens they encountered throughout the continent. Imperial horses are big and strong enough to carry armoured soldiers, and they are both brave and dependable in battle.
Khuzait – Steppe Horse: They say that the Khuzaits are born on the saddle, and without a doubt, their horses live up to their reputation. These animals are not particularly big, but they possess extraordinary endurance. Khuzait horses have low charge damage due to their stocky build. They are not very fast but they can turn and manoeuvre with surprising agility. They are also bred in great numbers in the steppe herds which allow Kuzaits to employ large cavalry and horse archer armies.
Sturgia – Sturgian Horse: Sturgian warriors prefer to fight on foot, and horses are bred for endurance and surviving the harsh winters rather than strength on the battlefield. Nevertheless, these animals make good mounts for scouts and light cavalry.
Vlandia – Vlandian Horse: A century ago, Vlandians were a relatively unknown tribe who fought exclusively as footmen. But there emerged a new class of mounted warriors among them that helped them dominate the fertile western parts of the continent. Their horses are strong, dependable creatures that, while not particularly agile, possess the toughness and courage to ride into the thick of the battle.
And with that, it is time to hit the hay!

Seriously? Fucking horse breeds? This is getting stupid now.

It would be pretty cool if in the next update, they make it about small visual details nobody asked for, like: lunar cycles, beard growth, characters getting dirt the more they go without baths, characters gaining/losing weight depending on much they eat, corpse decomposition, horse dong/balls physics, etc...

I don't think you could slaughter horses in Warband if your army is starving, but they should add it.
And then post another update about it.

IIRC, this is already a planned feature for Bannerlord. I'll ask my kids to confirm when it comes out.

The release day will be remembered as ''The Day the Internet Went Down'', the beginning of a tribulation period when hundreds of thousands of men will quit their jobs, wives/girlfriends will become lesbians and millions of kids will die of starvation.
Have they mentioned a price yet?
It will release on the same day as Bloodlines 2.
