Short introduction of my Mod:
I put all my favourite mods together and rebalanced all units stats for better game play an added some new skins,
New armour upgrades took so most units have gold upgrades the other silver, merc. bronze.
I tried to make the Mod a little like Land to Conquer 1.21 (MTW2) and SPQR 6.2 (RTW), best TW mods I have ever played.

Why armour upgrade:
It is not possible to give with an armor upgrade more than 1 armour point so I thought to
Give with 2 armoury upgrades in one (took me 5 hours to change that). So nearly all units can have + 3 armour which gives
The player a reason to build armoury’s now.

Best played:
Mod is best played on very hard or hard campain and battle.
Its ment to be played on Full Version, but light works fine too
For Skymod_blood mod and new skins better played on High graphics

I'd be willing to beta test it.. the wife is going out tonight and I'll have some time

The mod sounds great and I look forward to it!

**Valkirah** · December 29, 2006, 12:16 PM

Looks very promising, I will definitely give it a try!

**Soulghast** · December 29, 2006, 12:50 PM

What files do you need to mod to make assassins better?

**Remo** · December 29, 2006, 01:03 PM

Does this use spurius map, or does it just add new regions to the allready cramped vanilla map.

If its the latter i think i'll pass on D'L.

**Soulghast** · December 29, 2006, 01:53 PM

I think it uses the vanilla map.

the royal arms mod map is the vanilla plus 40 regions(38 in mine)
I am not quite a mapper so I cant make a new one, unless a good editor comes out

but if you dont want it, wait for the light version or try to add the map you want

@RTR Fan
mostly here

**humvee2800** · December 29, 2006, 04:29 PM

first oif all im geussing my current campaigns im running wont work in this modded version

but what changes are made to the Rus (russians) ?

also will there be any new units?

**PAX ROMANA** · December 29, 2006, 05:05 PM

very good job, thank you.

i'll play this mod.

**Cymera** · December 29, 2006, 05:19 PM

good idea! looks like a keeper

**GODzilla** · December 29, 2006, 05:35 PM

Interesting. Can you explain how to let crossbowmen only fire at sight? Thanks in advance.

**Rammstein** · December 30, 2006, 08:47 AM

@humvee2800

your save game should work on the light version (but not all functions of the Mod will be included). The russian units are only rebalanced a little specially 2 handed and cavalry, unit cost

@GODzilla

That is one of the feautres I took form an other Mod the Darth Mod (his modding experience is much higher than mine). So I dont know exactly, its in the descr_projectile.txt file. This Mod is 30% of my Work mixed with 70% of the work of other modder, sometimes tuned by me.

p.s. release delayed by one day, look on top.

**Godfrey von Bereau** · December 30, 2006, 11:04 AM

The feature list is really promising, I will give your mod a try! ;-)
Did you solve the problem with the not increasing population in Lusteds Lands to Conquer-mod?

**humvee2800** · December 30, 2006, 12:04 PM

Kool, I suppose i could survive somehow redoing all my campaigns if the mod is good

.

OOH one more question ummm, ive had my share of lag problems with the game and i heard someone say alot of the lag stems from Ai and some non graphical factors which (if fixed) would let me run the graphics a bit higher (not full of course but at least as eye pleasers) .

yes, they fixed It after a while and I modified it so that the limits are now lower and erveryone should be able to build at least zitadells 18k and large city 24k.
huge city is 40k could be reached in every city I tried (didnt try it in ervery city but should work, If not than I lower the limits again).

@humvee2800

i found in the MTW2 help forum a lot good tips to let the game run better. not sure what you mean with "would let me run the graphics a bit higher" you can change graphics as you please

p.s. need another beta tester for today, if you have time send me a message

**Cymera** · January 01, 2007, 10:26 AM

well the beta played well, the map and little details really makes it awesome, like XGM was for RTW.

I agree, I think version 1.1 beta is hugely improved over 1.0 beta... you've definitely fixed the battle AI problems. A real winner here! I think once you release folks are going to be really impressed. Great work!!

**Gr8one** · January 01, 2007, 11:47 AM

Looks real good. Keep up the good work on the mod. can't wait until its released

**Cymera** · January 01, 2007, 11:55 AM

im almost on the edge of my seat with the question "shall i mod it?!?" "or do i wait for the release, with possible improvements, emmmm improvements.....*drool*"
