    People in Unhold’s picture look like they are made in Banner Saga’s style, not BB IMHO.

    The reason is, that the final resolution ingame is only 200×200 pixels. Sometimes its not worth to go into too much detail.

    Paul! Show to us your “I want to rework ”list,please!))

    Hehe, I think it’s better not to show, as most of it will never be done, so it might be a bit disappointing.
    Have a new picture for the “Deliver Cargo” contract instead!

    And one little question: You will added new cool armor and weapon in new DLC,will you added new helmets?)

    Unfortunately not, there’s so much other stuff going in and the helmets had a smoother progression than the armors already.
    At least I added color variations for the bascinet. I just forgot to paint them to be honest :)

    Another event illustration: A slain Unhold.
    My aim with the new event illustrations is to create a more immersive image of the world by using diverse colour palettes and extensive views of the environment.

    I always thought it was a bit immersion
    breaking because the quality was pretty poor compared to other banners !

    Hey ForceEcho,
    thanks for the feedback, I think the design of the banner basically works as there are other banners with similarly crazy emblems. Nevertheless I agree that the quality of the emblem is lackluster. I’ll put it on my “I want to rework” list along with some event illustrations etc.
    We’ll see how many reworks I manage to fit into the final release :)

    Hey Oh Brother,
    you must have been pretty unlucky, because the morning star isn’t that rare at all in the game.
    Here’s the mace class progression in the top row.
    The bottom row are the two handed maces which we will add with the DLC.
    Cheers!

    Here’s what I’ve been up to for the better part of the last week:
    Named variations for the new weapons! Here are a few examples.

    I think game needed normal tower shield, thats will looked wonderfool with new options

    Hey Varhagen,
    actually we already have tower shields ingame, used by and lootable of the “Ancient Dead” faction.

    Regarding the banners, more is always cool. The problem is, more of everything is cool. So what is more important, more weapons, more armor, more enemies, more banners, more shiels, more locations…?
    It’s hard to answer :) We are only 3 people, so we have to be very careful where we invest our time.

    Regarding the helmets, we managed to get 107 different helmets into the game (not counting colour variations), bearing in mind I am the only artist on the team, that’s an okay number :)

    Anyways, thanks for the support!

    are you still around or have you fallen prey to your latest creation? ^^

    It’s a tough fight, but I’m still alive and kicking :)

    Since the kraken is a creature of the sea a maritime design would have been natural.

    Actually our Kraken has a bit of a different backstory and is an inhabitant of swamps, rather than the sea. In our latest Blog Post there’s some more info on it if you are interested: Kraken Blog

    Considering our Krakens habitat it would’nt really make sense to use any maritime symbolism.
    In the case our our Banner the use of the kraken is just a symbol of strength, like a lion for example. I focussed on making it look like an intimidating banner a mercenary company would actually field. That’s why it is a lot darker than most of the earlier banners.
    Up until now no mercenary banner uses any “makeshift” materials. This is important to disntinguish the banners of different factions and underline their character. The bandits for example only use makeshift materials for their standards:
    Bandit Banners

    I hope this explains a bit why the banner looks the way it looks.

    Cheers!

    And about platemail, full plate, cuirasses, salets etc etc. do you guys consider a possibility for future DLC(or expansion, as I’d call it) with “rare” (maybe unlockable by some kind of quests?) merchants selling such stuff? Regional armor and weapons + late medieval things. Some people are crying for that.

    Hey there,
    “IF” there will be another DLC, chances are very high for regionally different Items. Chances for late medieval stuff like (Platemail etc) however are very low.
    As I learned in the past, never say never though….

    I’m pretty sure even with “optional DLC” giving access to another tier of items you’d make a ton of money and a lot of people would get satisfied. Adding 8-10 new sets of armor, few helmet variants and some new weapon assets shouldn’t become loads of works. They do such stuff to Conan Exiles and people are actually buying those DLC’s.

    When making a DLC we would rather try to expand the BB world as a whole and implement new mechanics to unlock more of its potential.
    Cheers!

    Hi Paul, Will Coat of plates still be highest tier armour in expansion?

    Most likely, but other armors might catch up with it depending on what upgrades you choose to attach.
    Apart from that we will focus more on making mid tier armors more viable instead of raising the maximum armor points.

    Paul, Will there be plate armor or Gothic armor?

    No, thats just a visual boundary I am not ready to cross. I think it doesn’t really fit the setting, even though some weapons are exceptions to this rule.

    Hey ForceEcho,
    sounds really like a lot of fun to paint, already getting some ideas in my head. But just as you mentioned, my schedule is really tight and I’m working hard to check off all the must haves for the DLC before starting on the nice to have stuff :)
