These days TLD and Onin no Ran are definately the strongest. Back in the day (pre .800) I really liked A Shield Lying on the Water, Pirates! and especially 1066, which had a number of very...

It would be an interesting possibility, but unfortunately there is no mechanism to do this in the game ATM. There are some possibilities using batch files and external coding, and also this feature...

Looks very good, I'm glad to see you are making such progress.

Huh? I thought I had sent a round PM to everyone who had corresponded regarding historical info with the password, maybe I accidentally left someone out of it. Sorry about that.

Kind of. We use it to represent the sort of transitional stage between Celtic paganism and Christianity which many more outlying areas of Ireland and Scotland in particular were in in AD 481. It will...

Thanks. :smile: Just bear in mind that it's still being "renovated" to a degree and some things are still being worked out. We hope to release our first preview in the near future.

Indeed, druid seems more like a catch-all term for educated classes in the society (priests, judges, advisors, the bardic order) then literally "pagan priest" And Celtic Christianity was a pretty...

I'll begin a thread in the dev forums where we can list and discuss major battles for inclusion. Some more may be possible with some retro-fitting/identity-blurring.

Are the Pictones the Picts? I thought they were a Gallic unit, but I can't remember where they are recruited.

And IIRC only Lusotana can recruit Uachtarach DuboGaiscaocha in the campaign, that...

*ahem* It will be given serious consideration as a historical battle, as will a number of other important engagements which did not feature Vikings. And I speak as both the Lead Historian and the...

Depending on whether we can successfully accomodate an Iberian Islamic faction, we may indeed feature it as a historical battle (as far as historical battles are concerned, anything can be...

No they are not. The reason is that the conceptual scale of WotN was to the Norse world what Broken Crescent is to the medieval Middle East. But unfortunately a lack of "editorial control" and...

I for one have made more spectacular digressions, I must admit...

Nice to see you back by the way. ;)

Yes, unfortunately Swabian our lead coder has had on-and-off internet access problems for the past while, we can't reach him right now to implement his last code changes for 0.7. Hopefully he'll be...

The walls disparity is something we have looked at, I think it has been sorted out. Unit cards; hopefully 0.7 should be more-or-less complete in this regard. A lot of credit is due to Uranos for...

I think we will have a small part of North America (Vinland/Newfoundland) but no more, and no factions there.

It's a trade-off really, we want to depict some peoples like the Norse in fairly...

There are 3 units more-or-less derived from this tradition in the Irish roster, as it happens. The "Warrior Monks" aren't actually clerics though, they are aristocratic warriors who joined a...

Yeah, they wouldn't have left much behind. And it's pretty irrelevant ultimately.

Monks aren't always completely boring though, they weren't all the stereotypical bookish "spare us O Lord!"...

IIRC the first recorded specific mention of Iceland (ie. specific, not the mysterious land of Thule or something equally vague) is in the Measurement of the World by Dicuil, an Irish monk and...

Iceland is in physically, though there is not a faction there. The mod begins in 785 and Iceland was only "officially" settled in the 9th century (Those mysterious papar, we are often reminded, left...

Well that makes a bit more sense, I would certainly avoid Blood Omen 2 because it basically expanded the map a lot without fully describing it. Still, you'd want to think carefully about factions,...

Err... I like LoK and all, but isn't there the little issue of campaign map, factions, units etc.? Is there even a full map of Nosgoth anywhere?

Antagonist

Yah, horseboys. It would be nice if they looked a bit younger (they're called horseboys for a reason, they'd be teenagers really) and they should really have darts (smaller but more carried) rather...

Also (IIRC one of Ranika's posts) the real-life Gaesatae (who were not just "naked fanatics" but a specific and relatively small group of warriors) became increasingly expensive to train over the...

Excellent work as usual finneys :thumbsup2

Just one further musing - what about the Hiberno-Normans? I've a feeling CA will end up ignoring them (eg they'll just be "English" with the Irish...

Yes, alliances would be the other problem for the Scottish Royalists. It's practically inconceivable that they should be at war with either the English Royalists or the Confederacy (the former...

I think it's a very good idea, I've wanted to see this conflict in TW for a very long time. Here's my suggestion
post about it on the Org.

Some brief suggestions:
- For a campaign map, use the...

The new units generally look very nice graphically, but some seem kind of dodgy conceptually to me (Lithuanians etc.) The Gwent Raiders are a bit of a disappointment I must say, they're basically...

My problem with slasher-type movies is that my sympathies always seem to fall a bit off what is intended by the creators, so frequently my favourite character dies and the ones I dislike survive.
...

We have the next release basically completed, and are working on at least one more. Some of our members have some important and unpredictable RL commitments right now though, so occasionally releases...

I wondered about that too. The Ui Conchobair (O'Connor) family are still around in 1250 in Connacht, which is at this point engaged in a power-struggle with the Norman Burke family IIRC. They defeat...

Spanish Invasion? Is that the Spanish Armada/Nine Years' War VI-map idea you mentioned on the Org, or something else?

Anyway, good luck, it's been a long ride but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait....

Just to make a small clarification: There are actually more then 20 new units, and around 20 historical battles, I just mention 4 in the preview.

Thanks a lot everyone, especially Publius who did...

Sorry about this everyone, the founder and lead modders are all no longer available or interested, so the team and the mod in general is being reorganised. Selenius kindly volunteered to help give...

Sounds like an installation issue with animations. You could try reinstalling according to the instructions in the installation sticky thread, but at this point I would recommend waiting for the big...

I would suggest that ideally it would be better with a custom Scottish campaign map (it just seems odd to me to have Scotland divided up...
