Richard the Lionheart - Crusader Mod
Richard the Lionheart - Crusader Mod
Gameplay Notes.
- New faction in crusaders (England)
- Historic starting time and location for Richard. And yes he gets a wife there, but the one you choose.
- Historic starting diplomatic relations.
- Forts experimentation (Kantara Castle)
- A chance to change the history, etc.
- For hardcore TW gamers only (provide feedback if you wish for more - moding is easy)
You play King Richard in April 1191, while on route to the Third Crusade, Richard stopped on the Byzantine island of Rhodes to avoid the stormy weather. It seems that Richard had previously met his fiancée Berengaria only once, years before their wedding. He had assigned his mother to represent him and convince her father, Sancho VI of Navarre, and her other relatives to agree to the wedding, and to bring the bride to him. Richard came to their rescue when they were shipwrecked on the coast of Cyprus. He left Rhodes in May but a new storm drove Richard's fleet to Cyprus.
On 6 May 1191, Richard's fleet arrived in the port of Lemesos (now Limassol) on Cyprus, and he captured the city. The island's despot Isaac Komnenos arrived too late to stop the Crusaders, and retired to Kolossi. Richard called Isaac to negotiations but Isaac demanded his departure. Richard and his cavalry met Isaac's army in battle at Tremetusia. The few Cypriot Roman Catholics and those nobles who opposed Isaac's rule joined Richard's army. Though Isaac and his men fought bravely, Richard's army was bigger and better equipped, assuring his victory. He also received military assistance from the King of Jerusalem and Guy of Lusignan. Isaac resisted from the castles of Pentadactylos but after the siege of Kantara Castle, he finally surrendered. It was claimed that, once Isaac had been captured Richard had him confined with silver chains, because he had promised that he would not place him in irons. Isaac's young daughter was kept in the household of Berengaria and Joan. Richard looted the island and massacred those trying to resist him. He and most of his army left Cyprus for the Holy Land in early June, having gained for the Crusade a supply base that was not under immediate threat from the Turks as was Tyre. In his absence Cyprus was governed by Richard Camville.
Enjoy,

Trying it now, nice simple mod!
Edit:
I've played it some now.
You should add scripted missions for the player. After you have conquered Cyprus you have no further incentive to invade the Levant.
You should also add a new radar-map for the Brittish aswell as some backround. Right now, theres no text and the map from the Grand Campaign...
Good idea but it needs some polising!
