Golden Ages : Total War.1st Preview is released!!!

[Slaytaninc]

Just from browsing the models (Luckily I have EVERY tool I need) I can see my work is cut out for me.

[Giorgios]

Glad to see this is still being worked on- I look forward to seeing more progress.

I almost lost the paltry changes that I made to the provinces. I couldn't start the Campaign, it would go back to the Single Player screen. I found out it's because I had a city without a building, and a landlocked city with a port.

I put together the first model for the Cordoban roster I intend to create. It still needs alot of things added before it's complete.

I'd say the map is about done, it was pretty close to completion when I took it over. I just have two provinces currently sitting surrounded by the Sahara. It's just hard to decide where to put them. Transcaucasia, Poland/Russia, and Germany could all use one.

[Slaytaninc]

I'm not done with my first model, not even close. But I still want to assign him some weapons. I'll have to ask a few mods for permission to use their weapon models though.

[Slaytaninc]

So how far above the Danube did the Bulgarian Empire extend in 900?

[NikeBG]

Something like this map, but without the north-western area, which was in 900 Magyar. Or this map, except for the area between the Dniepr and Dniestr, which used to be Magyar and should in 900 be Pecheneg instead of Bulgarian, IMO (used to be a Bulgar buffer zone earlier on, but that was over a century earlier). Also, of course, without the striped areas to the south and Serbia wasn't conquered yet, IIRC.

About what I had in mind, thanks.

Just found a spear that I think will work for my Moorish cavalry model. I'll need to get permission before using it though.

I would recommend using Lord Calidor's weapon pack - they've got everything, axes, spears, swords, lances, maces, everything. Extremely useful!

[AnthoniusII]

I agree Lord Calidor's weapon pack is the primary source of weapons TGC uses also. But you must be carefull. The weapon pack weas designed for high/late eras of middle ages.
Only few of them can fit in the time frame of the mod like simple spears of all sizes (NOT knight lances and not most of the swords).

[Slaytaninc]

Well, then weapons will probably have to wait. The only possible sources I have are BC and SS. I have Rusichi and a few other mods that I could get permission from, but they are trapped on my external hard drive and I'm missing the power cord.

I also can't download anything right now.

[Slaytaninc]

Not directly related to the mod, but I'm really tempted to create the Roman army that existed from the 7th to 10th centuries. You know, undercut CBUR :p

[Pharoah]

will the eastern roman empire be in this game?

Its actually a large portion of the map.

Heres a preview of the ERE units.

[Pharoah]

ok so you will be using the great conflicts units

well, good luck with that

seriously, why not focus on a roster that is not readily available.

Was being sarcastic. Although at the mod's start timeframe, the Nikephorean reforms are pretty far off, and at some point I'll need older style units.

I'm currently working on the Ummayads, BTW.

You're thinking of the Great Conflicts.

This isn't that mod.

[Slaytaninc]

Anyone have any good resources for the Caliphate of Cordoba? All I have is one Osprey book, and only two relevant panels in that book, besides assorted text.

[Slaytaninc]

In my notebook, I've listed the steps I need to perform on my model to get it to where I want it to be. Should be easier than I thought, just need to do it instead of playing The Witcher.
