Great! Icefrisco is working on our campaign map now, and I am in discussions with a leader of another mod that could prove very beneficial to both of us! We may have gone quiet, but we are by no means dead yet!

[Kallum]

can I do something? I mean we have a lot of info regarding the factions? and I think that my 2d skills are far from perfect so can I still do something?

Kallum, you are already a member of the team, what more do you want to do? At the moment, we just need lots and lots of research on factions, especially the Muslims, Spanish, West Franks, and nomads...
So anything you can find on these would be great!

[Kallum]

okay, The seljuks were a horde faction right? and Abbasids were also along. Muslim factions will be my new goal then
Basilacius if you could find some info regarding the steppe peope(Avars, Bulgars)

The Seljuks will not be in the first release, so please focus on the Abbasids. And our main horde faction will be the Pechenegs... As we have Bulgaria: Total War for support, we don't need much Bulgar research

[Keeper of the Keys]

Erm..... Are you actually making a mod for this or talking about it. PLEASE TELL ME!!!

[Keeper of the Keys]

Read back in our threads for more information on the mod, or visit the subforum on my sig, then you can see what information you might submit is relevant. You said on another thread that you had created "several personal mods", what do you mean by this? What modding skills do you have?

Great! Put your research in our forum, please!

[Keeper of the Keys]

Just some pretty simple stuff like adding a new faction to the game, making the some playable and giving some factions new symbols. Just basic stuff.

ps I posted a good map in your forum if it will be of any help.

[AnthoniusII]

Has the team added the Sicelian Emirate and the Muslim prncipality of Handax(Crete island)?
Also if there is a faction slot empty use it for the norman apearence in France or Better in central Italy after 940 ad!

[Keeper of the Keys]

No there not include in the first release but I to want this in the game. I'll try my best to convince them.

Now you come to mention it Anthonius, I was just thinking about it. My idea was that if we moved our starting date to 909 we could replace the Aghlabids in Tunisia with the Fatimids, who would start off with several full stack armies with which to invade Egypt. The Aghlabids meanwhile would hold Sicily, plus Crete too, not entirely historical I admit, but probably better than just having Crete as an easily conquerable rebel region...
On the other hand, it would mean we lost two other factions; namely Great Moravia, which fell to the Magyars in 906, and the Egyptian Tulunids, who were reconquered by the Abbasids in 905.
So would everyone please tell me what they think of this idea?


Plus, thanks to Spartans Avenged, here are some early faction symbols he is working on. Rep him!

Roman Empire



Kingdom of Asturias and Galicia


The Danes


The Khazar Khanate

[Keeper of the Keys]

and in 900 as wessex you would only have Alfred the great for one year as he died in 901.

[Keeper of the Keys]

Heres a couple more of the factions symbols I made.

West Franks


East Franks


What do you think peoples.
