i know it's just a beta but you definetly need a strong "splash-screen" and a new letter font for it...
the current one in use is just too "oriental" and no "epic-fantasy"...if you don't have an "artist" then just go with a gothic letterfont instead of the samurai letters for the westeros title
Btw, how about the stainless steel physics? I noticed that in the alpha, when the cavalry charge into a unit that is not spearmen, they practically get killed and nothing happens to the target. I mean, what the.... err....
In S.S. when you do that (and the target is no spearmen unit) they get obliterated, literally.
Really? Be careful. If a unit is stationary and has enough time to brace itself charging with cavalry will result in losses, whether the target consists of spearmen or not. We will certainly look at that matter again, though; In the playtesting stage.
Ehh, dont get me started on the "realistic" thing again. My opinion is that I would prefer the smashing and killing before what is now in the alpha.
Thank you though for looking into it
Actually, i think it shouldn`t be a bright idea to charge infantry that has braced themselves for a charge. In history infantry that were disciplined enough to absorb a cavalry charge often prevailed. Cavalry should be used to intercept marching infantry and to hit unprotected flanks.
Though, don`t worry, levies for example certainly won`t stand a chance against a heavy cavalry charge and you will see some carnage on the battlefield. Against professional men at arms you`ll need to use clever tactics.
How can i set Lannisters to be at peace with Tyrells ?
And turn Arryns and Martells to rebels ?

Aside even from the technicalities of modding which make Kingdoms more conducive to modding, I would think Kingdoms would better for this because of the AI's outrageously questionable loyalty. An ally can turn and attack you in the blink of an eye, and they often do.
In this context, I think it is useful for a land to be in an anarchic (rebellious) state if not controlled by one of the major factions, since the basis of realms are the families and houses, rather than nationalism, as in ETW, which allows for rebellious provinces to create new factions. I think the "horde" features of Barbarian invasion might be the one useful aspect from another tw game that could be applied here. When a faction or house loses all their lands but family members are still running around, e.g., Daenerys Targaryen, the faction could still revive itself by conquering new lands.
Basically, the whole "house" aspect of ASOIF makes the M2TW framework with the medieval family structure and more extensive and useful family tree better, IMO.

Why is mod installation so complicated? I tried downloading the thingy where you have to extract the files and all that jazz, but I don't have a mod folder apparently. Then I saw the automatic installer, downloaded that. It downloaded fine, but when I click the icon it says 'Windows cannot find kingdoms.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again'. Yes, I have the Kingdoms CD in. I didn't download that patch thing though, because I don't know how. I'm a big fan of the ASOIAF books and the new HBO series and would really like to play this mod (it looks fantastic). Any suggestions?
download the .zip/rar. medieval total war 2/mods always exists if you have kingdoms. rename any of the kingoms campaign /ex: Brittish_isles22020202\
rename the westeros folder to Brittish_isles
run kingdoms launcher , select brittish campaign. or run the .bat inside the folder.
The alpha version isn't really supported anymore. We'll make the new version a lot easier to install
