Thanks for all your efforts in writing these previews - they have been an interesting read! Keep up the good work.
Really nice work guys.
I still can not understand how the mappers are able to create such amazing graphics. It looks so darn realistic! I can not wait! Good job on the PSFs as well! I am looking forward to capturing all those regions with Norway
I came on here wondering whether we could have some kind of update seeing as it's all been a bit quiet for a while. Realised there were 40something people viewing the forum and realised something must have been released.
Great preview, I love the campaign map screen shots. This game is gona be so much fun to play
Yes indeed. The two Anatolian previews (written by yours truly ) will be the next to be released, dealing with the political situation in the region in the early 1080s. Let me put it this way- every other mod I can think of is very, very wrong in their portrayal of Anatolia at the opening of the reign of Aleksios Komnenos. Landil and I have done a lot of research to make playing as the Byzantines and Rum Turks a very different experience from what you may have been expecting.
The First Crusade started in 1096, the mod starts in 1080, you should be able to figure out the rest. Also, the answer to your question can literally be found in the preview, both in the screenshots and in the text.
As always, tremendous job on the preview. The level of detail is unprecedented. Interesting choice on your part to include Acre (Akkah) as a PSF, and Hims as a settlement.
The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected. - G.K. CHESTERTON
Wow! Congratulations to Resurection and Landil - the control point system here looks darn near perfect from every angle.
Armenia looks like it should be a fun little puzzle.
Things are looking great, but those faction colors are concerning.
Why so bright/neon? Any plans to tone them down a bit? SSMAP for SS made an effort to have faction colors not so harsh but rather pleasant while maintaining faction accuracy (colors reflect faction banners etc).
Wealth beyond measure, Outlander.
Correct, we have used satellite imagery as a basis for our textures.
Personally, I'm not bothered by the colors for the Syrian faction, but of course I can't speak for others. If we get many complaints about it, we might change it, but otherwise it is up to people to deal with it themselves.
It's awesome to see the Muslim world being given so much attention in a pan-Old World map, that was one of the main reasons I joined DotS back in the early days. Keep up the good work guys.
A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.
A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."
It's good to get news from mod team!
Besides, after so much middle east city, i wanna lost on desserts. An ordinary campaign will take so much time to conquer even all the mediterranean.
+ rep for your efforts!
Great work
So you guys going to work on Anatolia next ? just a small notice, people generally mistaking the "yellowish" parts of central anatolia with desert, those are not desert, indeed not green but neither desert those are generally crop etc. fields and the parts with no plantation are rocky and has little flora, few scattered trees generally, but the surroundings of the rivers and lakes are of course greener, some places also naturally greener then other places
there is also a problem with color tones in google maps, check the aegean region to see that.
If you get any problem , you can pm me.
