Just a heads up for anyone who owns war of the roses, its just been updated with a massive patch called kingmaker.

It adds a new gamemode called Assault, which would appear to be similar to the team objective mode in chivalry.

Here's the official thread on paradox http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?677119-War-of-the-Roses-Kingmaker-Update-Notes&

"This is a full download of the game (5.8GB), everything has had something worked on and a lot of changes to the menu system forced us to reset all custom profiles.

Release: Servers are rolling out to Multiplay and the patch is live now. The servers will take more time, but you can fix your profiles in the mean time.

New Gamemode: Assault - Available on

St. Albans: Destroy the gate, capture the Smithy, storm the tower.
Bamburgh Castle: Capture the Bombard, raise the ladders/destroy the gate, pull the lever, storm the tower.
Clitheroe Forest: Destroy the gate, capture the Manor, push forward to the Cottage and conquer the Church!
Wakefield: Push the cart, raise the ladders, pull the lever, push the cart, blow up the gate, capture the keep.

Who's going to try this game again, personally I got fed up with the lack of players so I haven't played it for months.

Nope, they actually got him in to record the announcer voiceover! I think it's paid DLC, but I'm sure as hell buying it! :D

On the negative side... FFS ANOTHER CUSTOM PROFILE RESET?
 
They had to tweak the volumes for Brian as at normal volumes, the testers suffered irreprable damage to their ear drums.

GORDON'S ALIVE! even CAPS 50ft high could not do the man's voice justice.
