Looks very good! great work Neadal. Are you planning to add Venice as an emergent faction like in vanilla cusades?.

[Aneirin]

Thank's for your praise!

As you can see the map does not expand towards Constantinople. So there is no reasen adding them
Or what are you suggesting?

[Michael333]

Great work Neadal! Looking forward to play as the Byzantines and reconquer the Empire's rightful lands

[Aneirin]

Yesterday I figured out a very nice event for the Byzantine faction.
Cos you only will play as Despotes (Emperor will be spawned on certain events) , so you are depending on the rest of the Byzantine Empire. If it goes well, you will get some supporting troops and more money, but if, for example, a great battle is lost and the emperor needs all his resources, it could happen that you have to fight the muslim and christians alone without support and any extra money.

I think this script will make the gameplay more challenging and exciting

I will try to figure out a "main script" for every single faction.

[Michael333]

Wow, that sounds great!

[Aneirin]

Thank's

I have finished the menu as well. So my next step will be creating the Symbols for the factions..
I'm not sure, I think I will keep the same painting style for the symbols too.

Here is a sample:



The Orthodox factions would get a rectangular flag
The pergament in the background would only be shown in the menu.

Hi, it looks really good, but, is it only in German?

[Aneirin]

Well, there are no text files written yet..
I think I will release it german and english alike

So no worries!

[Treaper]

Nice then!

very interesting ... attractive era ... hello, Neadal!

[Aneirin]

Thanks for your interest

What do you have planned unit wise? Will you use vanilla or utilize units from other mods?

[Aneirin]

Interesting question.. I will use some free sources and create mostly my own units
But that is to be seen, cos right now I am conentrating on finishing the ui arts, like symbols, interface, battle banners, etc.

[Aneirin]

Well, the symbols for the factions are done

Here is the result:

Cheers Neadal

[Treaper]

To me, that symbols seem not so realictic, it's like from cartoon movie But menu desing is really good

[Aneirin]

So what do you would improve?

[ForGondor 68]

Hi,

Isuggest you to add these two very important regions:
-Turbessel(Tell Basher/Tell Bashir) -> Eddessan capital after the fall of Edessa
-Shaîzar -> a greco-Latin crusades fail under shaîzar and a lot of actions of the Latin States.

[ForGondor 68]

Well i think add Turbessel is very important.

[Aneirin]

In the updated version I've added it.
Especially it's the starting position of the County of Edessa

Right now the only have this settlement, but I will give them a fort or two.
The only problem is that I don't find names for important castles..
