I like the changes.

Hope you won't overdo it with the number of stone forts But adding some is a very good move!

That's the Franks in possession of what was owned by the destroyed Ceint faction along side the Jutes

[Father Jack]

Looking great Rio, I can't wait for this expansion to be released.

[Riothamus]

Very soon Father Jack and We thank you. Got some outstanding feedback from everyone.

-There will be a need for me to post a basic guide for military and government building contruction trees. Also I may need to either in the mod or in a guide, how to achieve certain ancillaries such as a knight of the Round Table(Will have a Celtic wording and meaning w/the word knight or Round Table in parentheses) but their are a boat load of things to know.
As the Councilium hold on Britannia broke apart so did some of her famous warriors. Many will be under the Councilium still but other factions that have become independent such as Dumnonia and the Gododden will have their own. Blood oath brothers fighting possibly against each other. An echo of what historically may have happen. But it all originates from the restorer of Britainnia, Vortigern as he ruled Councilium and created the foundation for a centralized government that provided stability and a revival and many great knights then and for possibly the future. The game starts in 452AD after the devastation of a plague and the Saxon revolt and the thus far successful struggle of the battle prince, Catigern (Vortimer) to reclaim the Councilium's dominance... so history will be decided from that point on.

There is off course much debate over this Catigern figure but he is in my belief, the one who proceeded Vortigern as Vortimer thus, he is presented as such in the mod. Also the mod emphasizes the idea that Vortigern was a great restorer of Britain and the head of several faction family trees that encompasses even the Saxons. He had to be somewhat brilliant to keep the island together for as long as he did...although maybe unlucky in the end as plague and a Saxon rebellion ripped through Britain.

[Stath's]

Yeeees, guides are the best!! Very interesting info, Rio!

[benczeb90]

Yeah, we couldn't understand much without a guide. For example what the titles/ranks mean, how do important leaders fit in the story and explaining the building/unit trees. Thanks Rio

[Riothamus]

<p>

We will do our best w/this I will make a basic generic building guilde for each culture and one their the descriptions of their important leaders. I also moved three Saxon small settlements to their historical current Sussex region. I believe they were used as foederati up till the Saxon revolt 441Ad-spreading to Anderitum in around 477 w/the slaughtering of its Romano occupants. ceretic our developer, suggested this some time ago but it took me time to be able to actually do this

[benczeb90]

I hope the final patch will be ready in the end of June, and especially for August, for i'll have real free time only then. :/ I'll finish my exams until mid-june, then work til the end of july. I hope I'll have my little reward

[Reno Melitensis]

Here are some pictures of the new shields for the Legio Immunes for Lydaw and the Schola Infantry for the Franks.

Cheers.

[Stath's]

I'd have to put a bullet in my head if it was to take that long(insanity sake)Its on the verge of release so it will not be then...very soon.

[benczeb90]

Haha Sorry, i'm pretty much used to the fact, when a modder says 'soon', it can take years

[Riothamus]

Haha Sorry, i'm pretty much used to the fact, when a modder says 'soon', it can take years

I know and I never say when its ready as you just never know but its currently just getting polished up and tested.

[Mr Kriegtooth]

As a beta tester, I think its safe to say that all is going well and the final release should be soon Not at liberty to say anything else though
