Amazing skins, good bugfixes. I'm waiting eagerly!

The only thing that is missing now is some new provinces for Lithuania and the Teutons.

[Chief Astook]

Looks like I'm going to have to end my aar series at chapter five, no problem though as i would of probably wanted the new patch too much by then to care anymore hehe. At least the last 3 chapters are of epic proportions....

you'd be surprised how badly norway gets bullied as soon as the game starts

[Evan]

why less blood?

[Chevalier IX]

This is going to be amazing,cannot wait to download and get started upon another game of noble conquest at the edge of my Stainless Steel!!!

[Krystoforos]

Great job!!!

[akagi28]

all the more reason to get kingdoms. Maybe after christmas.:hmmm:

[Pope Gregorius I]

Thanks for your hard work KK. Kinda disappointed that its not saved game compatible, but I guess beggars can't be choosers. Oh Well! I guess the glory days of the Crusader states will now come to an end! Requiescat in Pace

Hi King Kong !

Amazing patch !

Stainless Steel is definitively my favourite mod.

[Henry X]

No, get it right away (CA and Sega will love mefor saying that), it only costs $30 and will allow you to play SS5.0!

[Caesar Clivus]

why less blood?

So that 2 seconds into battle, soldiers dont look like they've been in a tomato fight

[Obit]

Hmm, no boiling oil fix? :o Other than that, great changes, esp. crossbowmen on walls and siege equipment rebalancing.

[mailor]

Wow, can't wait. The new skins look fantastic! Thanks again King Kong, and keep up the good work!

[HaveFallen]

Wow, King Kong, thanks. Too bad that real archer animation wasn't added, oh well.

Thanks, and can't wait.

[whhyy]

Overwhelmingly awesome KK - as usual

EDIT: YAY NEW GRASS

- New upgrade for Eastern Bodyguards

Can we see a screenie of this?

P.S amazing screenshots and good update layout btw.

[Hrimfar]

Please upload it today, I'm mooving tomorrow, going to disconnect and unplug my computer tonight and I really want to have this patch DLed!

It looks really awesome btw - I hadn't seen disgruntled goats russian skins before - just some WIPs in his thread. Totally awesome!

[Asean]

wow... now fighting lituania will feel like fighting a totally unique and new faction instead of a clone.

[HaveFallen]

Hey Asean, is your sig just there for decorations or is that real? It looks interesting...
