Complete Muslim Project 1080-1500

[Hengest]

We are recruiting people interested in starting a project specfically to represent the Muslim powers of the Medieval era in the best way possible.
We will post our info on the tech tree and our units so that you can add, criticise and discuss.
In a way it will ruin the surprise of the Muslim factions in our release BUT it will give the community the chance to watchdog the factions and participate in their development.

Please let us know if you want to join this project. DO NOT POST INFO IN THIS THREAD

Great idea Hross. I'll be glad to help out with anything in this project, as well as my Tech tree research.

"In a way it will ruin the surprise of the Muslim factions in our release BUT it will give the community the chance to watchdog the factions and participate in their development."

As the saying goes: 'for the greater good'. And we don't have to release too muchinfo, at least until we have a Muslim faction preview. But I am all for that watchdog idea.

Good start!
Let the experts of muslim factions present them!
Message to all:Accurasy at all costs!

Is there any chance you could extend this project back to 900AD? The mod I am working on features four Muslim (Ummayads, Abbasids, Tulunids, Aghlabids) factions, and we desperately need units and research for them!

?

he's laughing because you're asking another Mod Team to go outside the parameters (e.g. timeframe, factions) of their project to help your Mod.

my suggestion is to start your own research project on your own for your mod.

Hmmm I guess I assumed that whoever is working on that project would want to share their work for the greater good of the community. From the response I have got, it looks like I was wrong.

they might in fact be willing to share their work for the greater good of the community. you don't know that they won't. hross seems like a decent enough fellow.

it's just that their work encompasses research into making their three muslim factions better in the timeframe between 1080-1500.

if you want assistance in making your four muslim factions better in your timeframe of 900 to ?, then you should do the research yourself or try to find others willing to research your needs for your mod.

no need to thumbs down anyone. if anyone deserves a thumbsdown it's you for trying to hijack a call for help by another mod in their own forum.

in the spirit of community though, i suggest you try the modder's classified ads for help with your mod.

edit - feel free to delete my posts, DoTS moderators. i realize they and others are cluttering a legitimate request for assistance

regards

actually i believe that is the plan, making this project similar to anthonius' CBUR project and thus freely available more as a resource than a mod. you'll notice that the response you've had is from people who (no offence to anyone ) are not members or instigators of either DotS or the Complete Muslim Project so please don't feel offended .

that said however, the main focus for the project will be (at least initially) on the units we require for DotS. once these are done i can see no reason why the CMP cannot take on ideas for extending its scope to include other factions/time frames.

oh, this sounds coll=)

I'm sure this project will eventually branch out into that area, however i'm sure you understand that although this is a free resource, it is based on DotS's research and therefore is for now only in conjunction with DotSd's requirements.

That is to say, once we have finished this mod, we will branch out into areas of the Muslim world that may not have been included in DotS, but until then, we really need to focus on what we need to get done now.

Of course, and I wish you the best of luck in doing so! I will try to submit any helpful research I come across!

[Basileos]

i can (and want to) help ofcourse for the moorish faction!

Hross did you put this thread also in the "wips,ideas and proposals"?

at least there is Muslim project here. even though there is no Bosnia present as a faction.

[Giorgios]

Is this idea still active? Or can it only be seen in the dev's forums?

[Hengest]

It's a Dev thing...

It's still progressing, though we don't intend to make it an individual entity until we have finished it for our own part, afaiaa.

lol - Bosnia did not exist in 1080...

Oh, and this project is very very good news, btw
