[Malin]

Holy mother, this day couldn't start better. DL will take a long time unfortunately, checked some screenies in the meantime, and ermahgerd... so much awesomness, lot of things which I didn't predict, like mongols, tahar models, and SKELETONS. Thank you all for the hardwork, +rep.

The reason I dont share and preview much stuff during the development phase is so that it allows me flexability, plus it hopefully adds to the 'wow' factor when release time arrives.

[Malin]

Well it definitely provided it for me.

[Wild Card]

For me too..i just finished going through the screenies and well...''wow''

[Dux]

Having spent well over two years developing version 4 I am sure you will understand why I dont shed too many tears over your three hour wait

[Comrade Roboto]

Still downloading. My feedback: Awesome! I just know it will be .

[CrayonVonCaesar]

Release... Excellent!

Any chance of a torrent or mirror?

That site is asking me for a phone number and only letting me download one file at a time (several hours apart). It would take most of the day.

[TheFirstONeill]

Phone number ? I have never seen that. You can download the mod as a single file, but it is a BIG file (1.9g)

I will uplaod to some other sites, but in all honesty it wont be today. I am kind of wiped out today, I was up laaaaaaaaaaaaaaate last night getting the first versions uploaded.

The phone number bit is a disguised pop up it seems, there is a small "x" in the top right corner to get rid of it so no problem but other people might want to be made aware in case they enter a number instead of simply closing it.

Will take 799 minutes to dl the single file.

My wireless has a habit of cutting out every now and then, making downloads fail. Think I'll go for the 3 file option.

[TheFirstONeill]

Ahh okay, I go for hardwire connections when downloading/uploading as I have similar wi fi issues in my house at times.

As I say I will get it uploaded to some other sites, but later in the week.

[Spacel0rd]

Yes, gonna be a great weekend now for sure. Congratz on another release of this most fantastic mod. +rep my friend.

[TheFirstONeill]

Thanks Mate

Downloading now . I've added rep to everyone TFON said to give it to as well as himself. But why oh why did it have to be released two days before my first assignment deadline at uni, now I have to wait a couple of days to play it properly .

[Eohelm]

Going from "We need no new technology, we have the Blood Knights!" to "We have new technology, and the Blood Knights!" had me laughing for five minutes straight.
Yep. Getting some play time in before I hit the road. BOO YA.

It looks fantastic so far, the only possible thing that bugs me are weapon models. Nice new shiny factions like the Privateers get new cool looking muskets while Reich riflemen are using wooden blocks, Privateer cavalry get sabers, whereas Reich cav are still using that dumb rapier thing. It just makes the aesthetics of the mod clash. Otherwise, I can't find a single thing that bugs me in any way. Fantastic work, TFON!

Started a campaign as the Dracule and have been playing for an hour or so.

Some things I noticed:
Generals have insane movement points, perhaps a bit too much.
Rebel settlements on the Dracule island have low garrisons and fall fairly easy.
I love the new Grandduke bodyguard and battlemodel/stratmodel.
Really like the blood order troops.
Description of the Blood Order chapter house says the order was established to protect pilgrims in the holy land. This can't be right no?


I can't stop playing, has been a while since I had that on a medieval mod. Very good job!

[TheFirstONeill]

whereas Reich cav are still using that dumb rapier thing. It just makes the aesthetics of the mod clash.!

No Reich cavalry use the rapier anymore (IIRC.) they use broadswords, Privateers use sabres, and Ducado use rapiers. Its all part of making the factions unquie and different from one another, just like everyone was asking for.

On a small island like Translavia it may seem too much, but not when you get to Hadea or Mesocala. Beside each turn represents six months, do you not think an army could tranverse that whole island in six months ?

Rebel settlements on the Dracule island have low garrisons and fall fairly easy.

All the garrisons are engineered to aid sensible expansion, some areas are well garrisoned, others are not, trust me its not random.

Really like the blood order troops.

Just because that is no longer the role they fulfill, I see no reason why they could not of been orginally established for that purpose


I am glad you are enjoying the mod

[Agamemnon]

YES

EDIT: Hit connection limit, try again in 5:30. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Comrade Roboto]

After looking at the units and the campaign, here are my opinions.

Rockets still have the square particles bug.
The absence of the legionaire model (replaced with the legionaire auxillia).
The new blood effects are not really my thing. I like the large blood stains of crimson tide better.
The small shields on the ceacarean bodyguard.

Just my initial thoughts. All other things are just insanly awesome.
