Exactly. I'm the only one who has taken proper preventative measures against angry fans.
Oh and, you're not too far from Hross. He lives in Sweden somewhere, I think.

[Makrell]

the Byz is looking really sexy! It's a big faction with a very nice placement of regions here and there, just in enough danger to be exciting and nicely placed as a foothold in different theatres of conflict. The cities are all pretty well-equipped and the tech tree is very unique and very atmospheric, all round a pretty fun faction actually. I think it's size will be its strength and its weakness though- but I suppose thats the way it should be.

Good to know!! O yaaa!!!

Not if I can help it!

We will look for a house with cool art work and "I mod, therefore I am" emblazoned on the door.

[Meneth]

I'm doomed, then.
Except it's not emblazoned on my door

I shall never forget the injustices done against poor little Thrace back in the days of Rome Total: Realism!

On a serious note, I'm actually looking forward to destroying the Papacy as the Roman Empire.

Hey, just a random idea while I poke my head out of a military history book. In most mods, it's possible for kingdoms to progressively move through Northern Africa and conquer these areas eventually. Personally I think most would die as they attempted to take a force through there due to lack of water and supplies. I don't know what kind of supply trains you intend or have featured, but that area should be tough. Sorry for the non sequitur.

Huge Caravans and on a few occasions armies crossed the Sahara but attrition due to the conditions should be an issue, which I believe can be done with temporary traits. Perhaps we could make this somewhat dependent on control of the PSFs which represent the the oasis resupply points. We've limited movement across the Sahara to the multiple crisscrossing historical trade routes which were determined by the shortest distances between water resupply points. This also allows PSFs to be choke points. Historically control of these oases allowed local rulers to tax or block caravans. I also think generals from ethnicities whose lifestyle was adapted to the desert conditions (like Sanhaja Berbers for example) should have the potential to have traits which minimize these disadvantages. Though implementation of these ideas is dependent on us getting more trait coders on the team.

hello,

So far most of what i have seen (unit wise) has been early era. While early era troops are all great looking my preferred time period is around 1400/1500; where plate armor is more common place and the first guns start to be fielded. My question is have you got any late era units you could posts some pictures up of? would love to see some Halberders or Swiss Pikemen!

Thanks

What about previewed Hussites? They're 1420+ in reality. :-)

I've been really busy with RL lately, but I have been working on that. Maybe late August or sometime in September I'll have something to show.

I didn't mean to hassle you, real life is obviously more important than a mod. Will look forward to it

[napoleonic]

isn't the game planned to end on 1453? I doubt we'll see gothic armor at that date...
