Looking nice, Ed! How come this isn't with the other map previews that Res did?

Also, as someone who did quite a lot of work on PSFs for the DOTS team last year, I can say simply that there's a hell of a lot more information on PSFs in Western Europe than there is anywhere else. I'm afraid that other regions will always look somewhat denuded compared to Western Europe, unless things have changed drastically. On the plus side, PSFs in Byzantium and the Islamic world in particular should have a great diversity of sizes and levels than those of Western Europe.

Well, PSFs aren't my field. You should talk to Hross or Res.

It isn't with Res's stuff because I did it...

And the PSF appearance for that part of the world hasn't been changed yet, they are all just generic Christian forts at the moment. This will change.

EDIT: Also it is possible the concentration of PSFs in Europe might be thinned out in the future.

Question: Will we be able to march from North Africa to the Iberian Peninsula across the Strait of Gibraltar or do we need a ship to carry men across it?

Also, this mini preview looks fantastic. Textures and graphics look amazing!

Thank you very much.

Currently you need a ship but I think when it is released you will just be able to send troops across.

I have crossed the Straight of Gibraltar in real life. It is a very narrow stretch of water so I think just being able to march them in is OK because it didn't seem to deter many invaders of Iberia in the past. This includes the Moors and the Arabs.

Nice work, but it only shows Northern Africa, is there any regions further south?

Yes. Although they are currently a work-in-progress and have not yet been previewed.

You can see how far south the map extends by looking at the minimap in the bottom left corner of the last image I posted.

so.. i am assuming by the length of time this has been in the works, and the lack of question on the subject in question (that i have been able to find) that this next question is going to be redundantly redundant. if not painfully reopening a wound... but i must ask.

projected release date? ::hides::

for what it is worth, i only ask because i am looking forward to it... if that helps.

lol. No sorry there is no release date. It is hard to determine a release date as the team is a bunch of guys who do it for a hobby and especially as they are not paid for it or expecting any remuneration, often events in real life cause periods where individuals cannot mod.

I'd like to say it will be released before the end of the world in December but I can't guarantee that.

If any of you guys are wondering how PSF's are made, check out the screenshot in the spoiler below

This is the KoH PSF list.

Here's how it looks close up:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Those detailed descriptions are two A4 pages long. That's how much love and effort goes into the project.
So if any of you chaps from northern Africa would like to help us out it would be welcomed with open arms!

The greener the sheet the better for you - green color means, that the research PSF is completed.

I was planing to give my men a little shoreleave near Timbuktoo once they've conquered northern Africa, seems like in DotS I can .

Btw Ed will it appear as a Large Town or a City on our campaign map? Re:
"12th Century and within 200 years had become an immensely wealthy city, at the centre of important trading routes for salt and gold."

Edit: is Timbuktoo even within the DotS map? I'm not so sure we go that south in Africa...
