Excellent Mod, probably the best effort in the M2TW modding scene so far. I love your gameplay tweaks and additions and especially the new rep system and the titles.
a couple of issues
- I got...
Hello fellow history buffs. I am working on an article about the urban guerillas of uruguay, the Tupamaros. But I am experiencing a slight problem: There is a lack of pictures. Does anybody know of...
Excellent, Excellent mod. Kudos to Lusted. It has it's problems though. I am an avid fan of big maps with lotsa provinces (most TWers seem to be :D) and I play 1.21 on BigMap Extended. Well... on H/H...
More provinces absolutely NEED the Big Map. The regular map is already cramped at places, if you double the provinces it'll be hell on earth to get from point A to point B and you'll have to check...
Ah, the long awaited "more provinces"... are you using the Big Map? T

I am afraid I didn't start a single war, I had alliances with all the factions and they came down on me, and resist eversince (I must be in that multiple war for the last 50 turns or so)...
Excellent mod, repman. Congrats and respect!
I've been annoyed by the cramped map (with too few settlements.. but that's something for the post-unpacker days to be discussed...) and I welcomed the...
I've only played three (all inconclusive, of course) campaigns, two as Byzantium and one as Spain. My findings:
- The factions that were wiped out in all three campaigns: France, HRE, Turks,...
The Mongols ain't difficult for the Human player, if said player has planned and has got a couple of nice little castles with decent troops in the line of invasion. I managed to stem the Mongolian...
Still waiting for M2TW (good news that you move on Chivalry to it) I gave RTW & Chivalry a shot the past few days. First of all, you did a GREAT job. Outstanding! Excellent!
Started a campaign as...
Now that's great news indeed! Anxiously waiting for release, probably I postpone getting M2TW for a month
For the Greeks in your modding team:
Ρε καρντάσια, το mod έχει λάβει publicity και μάλιστα σε περιοδικό μεγάλης κυκλοφορίας (κατόπιν ενεργειών σας, ασφαλώς). Τουτέστιν, θα είναι τουλάχιστον μεγάλη...
Now, we can't know that Red Baron, could we? After all, the point is that had Romanus won the battle and driven the Turks out of Asia Minor, he would be strong enough to deal with the real cause of...
Since NimChief seems fixed on distorting what I say in order to come out smart, I won't bother any more. Can't say I didn't try, but to vain. I don't want to bring this to a point where Garb will be...
:blink: Can't you read English, perhaps? Should I use Turkish? or German?
All western European countreis have minorities - ethnical, religious or whatnot. Could you point out at a country...
NimChielf, if you think this is the 50s when people could say anything without having to actually face the truth, you are wrong. The Greek parliament has a number of Muslims in it (in accordance to...
First, if we were "utterly annihilated" how come we are still around? Secondly, in four armed conflicts in the modern history (19th and 20th century) Greeks won 2 and lost 2. Just for historical...
A land does not belong to the one or the other occupant - that's the point of it. It belongs to the people who inhabit this land. If the people wish to be Greek, they should be Greek. If they wish to...
Precious! :laughter: :thumbsup:
Ah, this is rather innacurate... the "they got greedy" part, I mean. It certainly did had nothing to do with "greed", it is rather extremely complicated. If you wish to discuss it, I can give you an...
Hm... this is a funny topic. There was a movement in Greece by those who wanted to create the "Great Greece", practically a new "Byzantine Empire". But it got trashed after the overwhelming stupidity...
The Narnia battle is as gorey I can take... I agree with xiaodun and oldtimer, watching thousands of people get slaughtered, gutts spilled on the ground, members dismembled, huge amounts of crap all...
Infighting was a given at the time of Alexander as well. Much more than that, the Celts at that point lacked any signs of cohesion that was brought about much later - in the very times of the first...

Very interesting arguments and rather sound - although the ease with which the Romans took and held western europe and britian does not support your arguments.
But I'd like to stress a...

If you are unable to discuss something without calling names (paranoid, liar are only two of the characterizations you implied for me) you should refrain from posting. I consider your...

I know very well the history of my country thankyouverymuch, I don't need no lessons in objectivity or whatever. The accounts of the massacres conducted by the Albanian in peloponesse are...

There is one little incident I remember enough to present here in full - if you need more, I'll have to dig up my sources. In the 1770s, when the Russian Orlov bros come to Greece to stir a...
Does the nationality of your wife determin your own? :)
Memnon was not Greek-Persian, he was a Greek from the island of Rhodes in Persian service, and he was indeed a splendid commander. With a smallish force he managed not only to halt the advance of...
I fear I cannot talk with you further. Keep on distorting history, flame removed - Dorian Gray - it won't do you any good in the end :)

A whole lot of Greeks today have Arvanites...
Markos Botsaris as Kitsos Tzavelas and ALL Souliotes, was an Arvanites. So he was definitely not Albanian. We've already gone through this: Arvanites, ever since the 15th or 16th century, are...

First about your sources. Wilkes is very disputed... extremely very. I wouldn't consider his writings on the particular subject valid. Hammond in his history of...
Illyrian,
I'd return the compliment and tell you to take your ahistorical propaganda and firmly shove it where light is absent... but I won't since I am a very polite person. To adress a couple...
This is not a matter of opinion, Greek fire was in extensive use by the Saraces and then the Ottomans for a number of centuries... oh, whatever...
Goodnes, the Shqiperia propaganda brigade is at work here, I can see...
first, who the feck is Arminta? There is one Amyndas person, in Makedonia in that timeframe (vaguely...) but the whole...
Not quite... no matter how they handled the stuff, the era's technology didn't adress the primary problem: tiny range. With the cannons, even in the napoleonic era, the ships could ravage each other...
Most stuff (at least what survived the relentless efforts of the western "pilgrims") from Constantinople library was transfered to Venice, Florence and France in the aftermath of the 4th "crusade",...
This is extremely very erroneous... for 600 years "Byzantium" was by far the most advanced part of Europe, the sole producer of philosphy, politics, science and literature (yes, theology was rivaled...
Stating that Byzantium didn't have any influence on "the west" is simply WRONG. I can't be more emphatic about this, can I? This is silly. The "barbarians" (GAH!) looked upon the Roman Empire (there...
