Broken Crescent 3.0 Pre-Preview!

[Atabeg]

Wudang, will all the Atabegs have same units? That would be really wrong considering the vastly different geographical locations. After all, the population in Atabegs of Fars and Kerman were Persian but only rulers Turkic while in Azerbaijan, both Turkic.

ERE and Jerusalem all the way but Vladimir-Suzdal is good 2

[Mirni]

Would it will be possible if you play 1 of Turkish faction to unite or conquer all turks?
Like kypchaks now do with steppe.

Great news. Broken crescent is the best mod ever for Medieval 2 : total war.
Thank you so much .

There won't be two factions with just the same unit pools. Some units will be common, of course. But we would like to have few new units for those "new-old" factions.

Yes, it would be possible. Similar ideas will be included in game as victory conditions - if it's possible.

So does the battle and campaign AI is improved ?

I'm really interested to see if there a mean to have a maritime struggle bettwen the romans Navy and the Egytian one
So is there a mean to have some faction relatively active in sea warfare ? like more blockades and some sea landing and invasion ?

But please don't make it like a spam of galleys all over the place

Sorry for getting out of topic in earlier post ... so Can some one light about if their is some AI especially battle improvement ?

and if some faction will get active at the sea and lets maybe stage amphibious operations

Why the hell ain't America on this map?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Actually, parts of America made it - Georgia is in the factions list. And changing Caliphate to California should not take the team too long either.

Guys this is not nice. Let's stay away from the politics as I doubt we want to toy with that piece of

[Qarama]

Great news! I'm impressed.
May i ask you something?
1. I guess the Seljuqs of Rum will have the Janissarys now won't they?
2. Will there be any new turkic units? (Karakhanids, Uygurs, Kyrgyzs etc. if yes you could use some of Yelü Dashi's or the Rusichi Mod units maybe?)
3. Is it possible to give some of the Kypchak units and the Turcomans (eastern and western Turcomans) asian faces?

thanks in advance and keep going this wonderful work

For the Kara Khitan symbol, I would suggest the character 遼 (Liao) which denotes their ruling dynasty. This is in the Chinese style as the Liao were known for adapting a great deal of Chinese customs, and the Khitans were referred to in Chinese records as the Western Liao Dynasty. Alternately, maybe something from the actual Khitan alphabet, if you could find something, the evidence of it is pretty fragmentary though.

Thanks for the answer Retep

Good luck guys!

[Dead*Man*Wilson]

As always, excellent work! Yet another more than worther update to what I consider the best TW mod I've played, and still do.

With regards to the Mongols, are they playable? That is, will there be some sort of period selection to make this possible? Hate to see Yelu Dashi's gorgeous Mongol models exclusively in the hands of the AI.

Anyways, keep up the good work. Between BC and AUH, few mods can compare in terms of ambition and scale. Cheers gents!

No, they aren't. Too much mork, I'm afraid, as in 1210's the world was divided differently than in 1174. So, we would have to include more different factions.

[cocobongoclub-DJ]

BC is still my favorite mod on M2TW. I have played no other since... An astonishing work the whole team can be proud of...

[TuCoT]

Good job men! We can't wait for it...

[tartar]

Sa wat dee krab..
I want to be Princess of Mangols, muslim factions, rajputs, jerusalem and I want to see gunpowder in this mod, please.
I love this mod very much

[AnthoniusII]

An exelent preview guys!!

[EarendilElenthol]

Excellent work, it makes me yearn to go back to mapping, as Silesian Noble has made a more than beautiful map for EE:TW which I plan to emulate once my other duties are done. The mapping is in good hands here, only gigantus could perhaps have done better.
