I'd buy BC if it was an official expansion, it looks to be bigger than Kingdoms anyways.

The only thing Kingdoms has me giddy about is the Native Americans, where as the entire BC mod makes me cream of wheat.

(Ok, maybe those devil horned Teutonics are cool but the Ghazi Axemen are on par in the scariness department)

[iudas]

BC looks better than Kingdoms so far. I can agree on that. The Ghorids are better looking than any Kingdoms unit I've seen. Especially Borat. We got Borat! Beat that, Kingdoms! WA WA WE WA!!!11

[The Mongol]

We got Borat! Beat that, Kingdoms! WA WA WE WA!!!11

Hahaha, indeed.

Naiiiice.

[Chola_Kingdom]

does anyone doing Hisotric Events if you guys doing it please place more events thank you

[The Mongol]

Dude, check out the Historical Events thread, CelticPagan alone has pulled up like 100 of them

I have a feeling there will be no shortage of them. Hopefully more than vanilla anyways, they just add to the atmosphere.

About the AOR map, Kilikia and Armenia proper should probably be grouped together, although western influence did come into play in Kilikia, but only among the higher-ups.

Grouping together really doesn't do much and isn't benefitial for the Armenian roster. Also note that Armenia proper is part of the "E_anatolia" zone". I think you're assuming that each faction can recruit their units only from one of these "zones".

In fact we're taking a new and innovative (and workable) route. Basically every single unit in the game (or groups of units) will have one or more zones it will be recruitable from. So for example the basic armenian units (armenian swordsmen, caucasian mountaineers) will be recruitable from the Cilicia, E_Anatolia and Syria zones. While Crusader units will be recruitable from Cilicia and Syria zones and not E_Anatolia zone.

So breaking the map into chunks like these allow us to give very realistic and unique recruitment zone for each and every single unit without adding too much work on our end.

Hope that explains the idea well.

I just don't understand what Eastern Anatolian means. It seems as if it is a mix of Greek, Armenian and Turkish.

[Miraj]

I just don't understand what Eastern Anatolian means. It seems as if it is a mix of Greek, Armenian and Turkish.

Does it matter? Its just a region we're grouping that the Byz, Turks, Armenians and Georgians can recruit from. Its in no way historical or even geographical. It's not supposed to mean anything except that in the descr_regions files those provinces will have the "e_anatolia" hidden resource.

[Ahiga]

I just don't understand what Eastern Anatolian means. It seems as if it is a mix of Greek, Armenian and Turkish.

It pretty much means just that. There's enough mixing going on in much of the landscape in BC that we sometimes need to go with a generic term for a particular region, rather than a term or grouping (or set of groupings) specific to individual groups. It would be cumbersome and somewhat useless to have three different Anatolian groupings (Turkish, Armenian, and Greek), when all three were found in these particular areas in somewhat large numbers.

One such example is also Khorasan, which would have Khorasani units, Iranian Units (Possibly), Turkish units. It would be really complicated to apply an overlapping system here, just like it would in Anatolia.

[IrAr]

Ah, I see. Thank you, Ahiga. I'm just curious, Mirage, in no way trying to take a stab at BC. Just needed some clarification.
Why are Crete and Rhodes gold? Is that a Latin AOR? I am getting increasingly giddy!
