Stainless Steel 7.0 Preview II: Gameplay Features II

[SirPeacemaker]

Hang on a minute gentlemen! What is this about? What is this Bellum Crucis? The video above looks interesting. Is it a complete mod? Is it in english too? (Because it looks like italian language there)

[napoleonic]

with the risk of offending SS dev and fans, I'll inform him the bellum crucis thread... http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=524732 there's an english tranlsation there but even then not everything in the mod will be in english... I'm installing it right now as I type btw

Musketeers are compatible with pikemen. Just place them in the first rank of the pikemen.

Some of the ideas of Bellum Crucis are awesome but if you ever played the turn times are quite long. I am a fan of the naval trade, huge amount of special buildings, and especially how they handled Crusades and Jihads. The unit balance is pretty good as well though I think they favor missile weapons overmuch.

it looks pretty from a distance it will be a nice time killer before 7.0 arives

TATW seems like a pretty good timekiller while waiting for SS.

[Branzo]

good job looking forward to playing it

[Virtanen]

well I never issue orders while the game is paused anyway.

what does "minimap always maximized" mean? does it cover the whole screen?

[Ferdiad]

No, it either fully zooms in or just gets a bit bigger.

Bellum Crucis is great, I just wish they had the rosters of SS and Broken Crescent. I can't even play with Scotland on that mod, it's like they Mel Gibsoned they whole thing, (Scottish lowland knights look like they are on their way to a flannel Christmas parade) instead of just part of it like vanilla. I know that's a narrow viewpoint coming from only one subjective perch, but the rosters are not not my favorites. But it is a one hell of a mod.

Ok I wish SS would go to a 2 TPY standard format. I feel like it is in the dark ages regarding this.

There is a sub-mod you can use (I use it) to get 2TPY.

I made my own 2TPY with some old files from the Roz mod, thanks for the link though. I guess 2TPY is a must from my point of view.

Played it a few months back. Its buggy as hell, and doesnt really have a good replay value. Needs much more work just to get to "playable" game status.

It will be better if there are some new regions added and stone fort.

[Incredible Bulk]

Nice can't wait for this

It's the most popular mod by far so no, It's excellent.

I dread the possibility of stone forts being added. The ai just gets confused by forts and the last thing I want to see is a weaker AI and more sieges and more strategic exploits for the human player. Why is it so trendy to add stone forts?

There is no more room for new regions without removing old ones.

Okay, I think there should be a new map with some changes for more interesting. In addition, I would like some new rosters which is a combination between Stainless Steel and Broken Crescent. I'm expecting to play this mod.

BTW, when can we expect to play this?
