OPEN ALPHA release | DOWNLOAD v0.85 |

[Grabbin_Megroin]

Is AndyThePlatypus still working on this mod? Is anybody at all other than Meloo and Paleologos?

[Melooo182]

He kinda withdrew from TWC after having a child about some 10months ago. I suppose when he gets some free time he'll be back again.

So yeah just Paleo and I ATM apparently
although "Mariachi" (Marius Marich) has been helping a lot with historical investigations for the 1300 campaign.

The Late Campaign (14XX-1618) development would progress faster if someone did what Marius is doing for the 1300 one.
The position is open for the taking!
In case you're interested xD

[+Marius+]

I was wondering;

Will you have to re-include the Americas in the 1492-1618 scenario?

[Melooo182]

I don't think so...too much work, I'd rather script something to represent colonization attempts with some possible revenues.

Maybe, I don't have too much spare time but I might give it a go sometime or another.

What exactly am I researching? I haven't really been following what Marius has been doing.

[Melooo182]

Maps, faction family trees, historical data in general for the starting date.
Take a look here to get an idea.

[Used2BRoz]

Do you have a start date for the late campaign ?
Above you say 14xx - makes doing any research rather problematic.
I would suggest maybe 1500 - but are there enough unit types available to make it a viable campaign ?

[Melooo182]

I had thought initially of 1450
But Marius suggested 1492, which perhaps might be better suited.

so whichever date is easier to find info between 1450-1500
the end date is set for 1618-20

[+Marius+]

I already told you, anything pre-1492 will cause major historical issues.

I still stand by my suggestion of having;

1300 - 1492 = 384 turns(2TPY)
1492 - 1618 = 252 turns(2TPY)

Good news for those who couldnt wait to play as ze Zirids! and Georgia as well

There will be a realease very soon (this very week)

xD no is not v0.9 yet, It is the v0.85
BTW if you've been following this forum
You should know that there is another Early Era campaign with Portugal, starting at 1139

[Grabbin_Megroin]

Anybody have any idea how many people are playing Titanium?

Like can Melooo see how many people have downloaded the alpha? Just curious if there are a few dozen or a few hundred people playing. Myself I do what I can to send people this way on the Total War subreddit.

[Melooo182]

Mediafire shows how many downloads a file gets
v0.81 has been downloaded around 1500 times while the latest v0.84 patch some 345 times

So I think only a handful hundreds people have been playing Titanium lately.

[trenktas]

what are the changes for v0.85?

Zirids will have a fatimid/moors roster I think I read somewhere? What will Georgias roster be like? Mostly Greek?

[Melooo182]

When I post the DL link it will come with full changelog
But the most noticeable changes are:
NEW custom strat map terrain textures (based on those used by SSHIP).
Castles and Cities can train the same range of units, only pool replenishment rates differ.
NEW custom strat map models for "Catholic" Faction Leaders and Family Members/Generals, not captains.

About Zirids and Georgian rosters, yes Zirids have a mix of fatimid and moorish units that make sense for a north african faction.
Georgia on the other hand has a completely new set of units from HURB's georgian faction.
Their stats and cost are not yet fully balanced to RR nor RC2.0

[Used2BRoz]

Looking forward to testing the new update
