Edit by Nelduin:
Since we have no news from the mod leader for years, please consider that BoA 3 is definitively dead, except if high_templar give any sign of life in the future. Thanks all for your support and your patience.

That's great news, but wish you would focus on the chinese and the mongols as well...

This sounds good, but wouldnt it be better to have a look at putting this on the MTW2 engine? especially with the new features and fighting animations
but any way this mod is great and wanted to give my to cents.

Thanks

p.s i think i saw somebody creating a japan campaign map on the offical total war forums somewhere im not sure if it was for rome or Medi 2, but either way its worth a look if u can find it

[Templar Knight]

wow that is great news

Hi,
As usual, for some realism reasons we'll stay on the RTW engine. The main reason is Med2 animations block soldiers in place in which they are. This have been done by CA to allow hollywood battle moves which requires static places in order respect distances when a soldier execute another one. If this static rule doesn't exists soldiers will hit in some empty spaces which is stupid in the hollywoodian orientation CA took. It means when you order to a unit to press more an ennemy unit, nothing happens. With it you lost the unit weight effect which is so many important in hand to hand battles.
In my new middleage project, we're going to prove RTW weaknesses could be solved by a totally new approach of unit moddeling and texturing.

To see which improvments will be in BoA 3, follow the advancement of WoC.

Cheers.

ok sounds good thanks for the reply, ive been hunting around for the post with the japan capaign map but it was a few years ago since i saw it so :S, but this mod is great and i like you explantion i didnt actually know that! , looking forward to this.

[MarcusTullius]

Very good news.....looking forward to it

[born2dive67]

would look awesome, sure hope you find a mapper also, would really love a campaign

[Nelduin]

Be sure we hope too

[Lord_Trask]

Anytime frame on this, I like the interest in a campaign , but I am primarily a MP player myself, and still looking for a group to play BoA with

[Elodman]

Will there ever be campaign game included?

Or do you know any other Asia-like MOD with this feature?

[Nelduin]

The actual team don't plan to make a campaign, because we don't have the skill to make it, so if someone want to make a campaign, he is welcomed.
We have only a man working on a map, but that's all.
If you want an asian-like mod with campaign, you can download Blue Lotus (Fantasy mod) or Three Kingdoms (Mod on ancient China)

[pirates_say_arrgg]

Keep up the good work! Now I have something to look forward to in 2009! Come on 2009!

[Nelduin]

I'm glad to hear this

The both.

[Kibbles]

Wow! that's a while to wait, but I'll be looking forward to it!

[Mithril]

BOA 3 modding team please put a campaign map like in the MMS like all your other mods They are all great just missing the campaign map it would make it greater

[Nelduin]

We will try, but we don't have anybody able to make it... a member is trying, but it's difficult.
