My apologies, I realized should be posting in this thread. Thank you for the amazing work. Any plans for tier 2 and 3 Kontaratoi?
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you. Any chance of getting tier 2 and 3 versions of the Kontaratoi?
Thank you for these great shields. Any chance you could upload a version to Steam's Workshop?
I like the idea of toning down the Libyan Infantry but when I load it with Radious, Muster Field loses Carthaginian Hoplites too. Is that intentional?
I get the blank page with V3, but V2 is working.
Thank you! Was hoping someone would start tweaking the naval side of things. :thumbsup2
I've run into this issue with my latest campaign as the Byz.
I am a slow player who likes to build up my economy and military slowly. This was a mistake with LTC 2.0 vs Venice. They are down to...
How odd, please link to where ever you will be posting about your mod Lusted.
Okay so this news to me. Anyone have a link to where its talked about or is it on the front page I never visit?

LTC is great.:thumbsup2
I had my doubts about removing unit recruitment from walls but it really works to improve the game.:smile:
As far as having all siege engine stacks, I have not run...
Anyone else playing as the Byzantines?
I got the wierdest audio message last night.
Had been playing for about two dozen turns and the first "Crusade" was declared on Jerusalem.
The next...
I was bored with vanilla and took a break for a few weeks.
Loaded up this mod and it has been excellent so far. It makes the game fun again.
Thanks Lusted:thumbsup2
Hoping to mod myself and was also perplexed over the stats not seeming to really indicate the combat effectiveness of a unit.
So it appears the animation speed has a massive affect on how good...
Standing Alone
By 1095 the situation had changed dramatically for Byzantium. Venice was no longer an immediate threat after their defeat at Gorni Golem and Hungary’s entry into the war on the...
There are various pieces of RTW left in MTW2. Some of its been disabled and some of it is being used.
It was the same way with MTW havin bits of STW in it. Remember the Geisha pictures?
Its...
I would rather have unique faction introduction videos than a better ending video. I was awfully disappointed when I started a different faction and discovered, Hey! That's the same video!:thumbsdow ...
IIRC one of the MTW mods, maybe the WesMod (?), had the Inn allow merc units to be purchased like regular units instead of waiting for them to be available in the recruitment screen. When combined...
True, a lot of it does depend on each players' style of playing and preferences of course.
I am a pretty defensive and slow player who prefers to give the AI, and myself, time to build up so I can...
Above the spearmen you have the dismounted units and thats it IIRC. There is a nice guide with some good stuff from Quillan here http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=72055 that goes into...
While I have had WTF? moments with M2TW's campaign and battle AI they are a lot fewer than RTW's pre and post patches or BI's.
Example:
Last night handed me my worst defeat yet. I am playing on...
I wish Venice would leave me alone but everytime I am at war with them within the first ten turns or so it seems.:crying:
Really want to go toe to toe with the Turks but keep getting stuck...
Actually I have only taken Smyrna and Rhodes so far.:( I had planned to go after Trebizond too but got into a war with Venice instead. Many turns and a very humbling defeat later I have besieged...
Venetian Wars
Most of our knowledge of these turbulent years comes from the Emperor's daughter Anna Comnenus. A very intelligent woman she wrote extensively on the empire and especially about her...
I am trying to write an AAR so I want good battle pics. Well it turns out I have been exploiting the Passive AI bug more than I even realized. Playing as the Byz so my stacks are usually heavy on...
Born Into The Purple
Chronicles of the Byzantine Empire
Byzantium, the descendant of the ancient Roman Empire, had faced great peril before. Invasions and civil wars were common events throughout...
Nice vid.:thumbsup2
I have never had Generals go rebel but I have seen plenty of Captain led stacks, both mine and other factions, decide they look better in grey.:yes:
I think it is a nice feature because it helps...
:laughter:
Quit spamming.:thumbsup2
I won't be able to add anything until after tonight and the big fight with those Venetian stacks.
I am curious if any Byz players have managed to not...
The faction starting vids are a pretty big disappointment for me. They all seem to be the same with different lines and occasional shield emblem only.:disgust: Not happy about that.:thumbsdow
...
I have never managed to get a cardinal as the Byz. I didn't even realize the one I had was one.:doh:
I have a feeling that Byzantium will look very different once some mods get done with it, especially MA and MTR.:yes: Well it will if we ever manage to figure out how to change the models.:(
I...
It is my great hope that we will be able to alter or even create unit models within a few months. Once we can actually unpak/pak the files, hopefully by November's end, I expect a lot of re-balancing...
Byzantine Spearmen are a little better than spear militia IIRC. They are like the first spear units that you can build in Catholic Faction castles. In MTW Byzantine Infantry were a staple of Byz...
Plan to finally start my AAR tonight after the wife and kids are in bed. Any particular pics you want?
Arguably all of Byzantium's wars were crusades. They also did assist a couple of the crusades so at least being able to join a crusade is a reasonable expectation gameplay-wise.
It is one of their...
This is something I have really noticed.:(
When I play other factions the Byz vs Turk is usually the first war to start. However when I play the Byz, Venice and then Hungary are my first wars and...
My settings:

Yep I used the toggle command for that pic. I don't play with it on because it kind of ruins the fun if you always know what's coming.
Yeah I was disappointed when I saw that. While it is an...
Here is mine so far.
Mind you I am a pretty defensive player so I don't expand fast. Turns changed to .50 and displaying as years. Setting is Hard/Very Hard. :thumbsup2
