Looking forward to the patch, I loved the last version! Quick question, if you don't mind, what are the general differences in the Concilium Britannia and the Regnum Britannia factions?

[Riwallon]

We are closing in now with some final additions before a release. A great deal of work has been added and the game is playing out much more historically. Hopefully we can send out some info and pics in regards to the newest additions. A preview on the Consilium Britannorum is in the making

Nice, good to hear...

Thanks for all the great job you made.
Last time you tell me that there might be a Llydaw faction in the release, is it still accurate?

[Pentecostal Knight]

Looks good Rio

Concilium Britannia is very much like the Senate faction in RTW. Their initial stronghold is in Powys, Glevum and the London, and the Thames region.
They were the rulers of Britain but plague and the first Saxon revolt in 441AD has reduced their holdings greatly thus allowing the other regional factions to become independent. The game starts with the Concilium Britannia under a second Vortigern having successfully pushed back the Saxons to nearly there original settlements and them trying to reassert their control over Britannia once again

Yes They are in

Looks good Rio

A great deal of work has been dOne with great contributions from the team

[Riwallon]

great, thanks for the answer...

I was thinking about something, for a Llydaw faction, would it be possible to include a script to sometime give them additional stack to represent the imigration from the island? It represent 100000 people on this period, most part of them came from south wales (61%), cornwall (21%) but also ireland (13%), cambria...

I join to this message a map of the traditional region of brittany with a traduction in breton, all of them existed of were founded during this period:
French: Breton (region name in breton)
Vannes: Gwened (Broerec or bro Waroch, both are correct)
Rennes: Roazhon (Bro Roazhon)
Nantes: Naoned (Bro naoned)
St-Malo: Sant-Maloù (Bro Sant-Maloù)
Dol: Dol (Bro Zol)
Saint-Pol de Leon: Kastell paol (Bro Leon)
Quimper: Kemper (Bro Gernev)
St-Brieuc: Sant-Brieg (Bro Sant-Brieg)
Tréguier: Landreger (Bro Dreger)

I hope you can include some of these, if not, well i'm already to happy to be abble to play Llydaw

Keep up the good job and thanks again for Llydaw

Ahhhh yes will add em

We have added 4 new resource-a village resources :
This is the further promote the idea that the provincial capital is the physical representation of the province's population. Acting as resource it promotes trade and can help increase the population of the province it is in
Romano British village resource


Romano village resource


Saxons village resource


Gaelic village resource


-When farms are built in a province with a village resource, the population and income of the province it is located in will increase. A village resource increases trade as if it was grain golds, etc..A merchant in a village resource increases trade further. Many of the village resources are located adjacent to other resources such as grain, iron, wool etc..giving it a historical feel. More eventually will be placed on rivers.
The factions resource villages vary in it gains depending on the culture


We Redid provincial populations represented by the settlement. This now creates historical population levels for each of the factions and allows acurately most of Britannia provincial settlements to be represented by the a town. Capitals in most cases by a large town and surrounded either by a palsied or by wooden walls. London and Ebrauc provinces are represented by the city and thus stone walls.
It will be almost impossible for many of Britanniae's provincial capitals to expand beyond the large town. Their faction capitals although will have this ability. Many of the Roman provinces are represented by city level settlements and the Germanic factions on the continent are slightly lower with a mixture of the large town and city settlement, Hibernia and Pictavia provinces are most represented by the large Town. Several have city status

The Population of each region, culture and entire map is close to reflecting the actual population of this time
Pictavia 250-300,000
Hibernia 500,000
Northern Germania 700,000-1,000,000
Britanniae 750,000-1,000,000
Northern Gaul (DoS) 700,000

[Mr Kriegtooth]

Oh wow, that sounds awesome Very immersive, and a form of realism greatly needed in Total War games I think! Can't wait for this to come out, still havent shipped out my memory sticks

[Mr Kriegtooth]

Sorry for the double post, but my internet is acting up, but the town sizes wont effect unit lists or anything, right? As an Irish faction, I'll still be able to get kickass units, even if I just have a small town for a capitol?

No worries Mr Kriegtooth.
Absolutely but mos likely from your capital until you are ably to fully assimilate the other provinces. Right now most Gaelic provinces capitals are represented by a large town of a provincial population around 30,000. The team will possibly create a new list of settlement names to better historically fit
