Well mate I have to say your units fit really well with the rest of the roster. So great job!

Amazing work. As a Maltese myself i have a great intrest in the history of the Knights of St.John. Here in Malta we have alot of their stuff & surrounded by their works. About 2 years ago i wanted to play with the knights of st.john so bad that i edited some renaissance units from M2TW like conquistadores, sword & bucklmermen, forlorn hope, renaissance pikemen, arquebisiers etc, etc, to knights of st john & gathered them in one faction. with flags & everything, to be able to play as if during the great siege of malta 1565 lol. I posted some vids of them in youtube.
These units look really great for their times on Rhodes & i'm looking foreward to recreate the battles of Rhodes 1444, 1480, 1522 as great as i can. During their action in Malta of the xvi century they looked much different, with morion & burgomet helms, halberds, Pikes, rapiers, 2 handed swords, arquebusiers, firehoops, incendiary grenade-like bombs, bucklers, etc. But for Rhodes they'r great +rep

Thanks a lot the team really appreciates it

Well our mod ends in 1530 so things such as morions, rapiers and burgonets are past our timeframe. However, there are two handed swordsmrn and full plate knighrs you can play with. The great sieges of rhodes will be easily recreated with the units.

Also who knows, once the mod is released anyone is ftee to make submods. With the materials you could create some nice late Hospitallers.

When will be released, kad ce biti gotovo.

[Wallachian]

Sorry mate it is impossible to say at the moment. But there is a lot of progress. Expect another big preview soon!

[Dusan Silni]

Wil it be Released 2013 or 2014

[Dusan Silni]

Will it be Released 2013 or 2014?

[Hrobatos]

More likely 2014. Custom battle beta may be done within 2013 do. But its hard to make predictions, we only do this in our free time as hobby.

[Dusan Silni]

And one more question Constantinople will it look like
this 1 http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...MEPLAY-PREVIEW (unique city) or like this 2 http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showth...ar-2nd-Preview (normal city)?

[Dusan Silni]

And the campaign is too short you can make it like, one year can be four turns or three.

[Wallachian]

Constantinopole will be unique city. That preview from totalwar.org is veeeery old. Pretty much none of that preview still applies.

The campaign will be very long rest assured, do not worry about that.

[Dusan Silni]

Thanks, you re the BEST

[BHCluster]

[Aneirin]

[Marks999]

Best unit skins I have ever seen in M2TW, really nice keep up the perfect work. Good luck ! - bad english

[morfeasnikos]

Awesome

[Ser Gareth]

Are the Greek troops like the Cretan Archers going to be aor available?

[Hrobatos]

They will, Cretan Archers were allowed by Venice to join Constantinople and defend it in 1492. But they served Venice as well.

[Ser Gareth]

Awesome! So will I be able to recruit them as the Romans, if I retake Crete?
