Oo, sounds great. Any idea of save-game compatibility or should I not get too attached to a current game?

[tornnight]

I'm quite certain it won't be. It may load but things will be out of wack.

[Sulla's Dog]

Don't ever leave us, Tornnight

[AMMsterz]

WaZaaa!!!

Em updates sound awrsome!!! Just one comment though : d'ya think that you can do some tweaks to the Muslim factions including their rosters particularly the Abbasids, who I play with at the mo? Like maybe adding in some more unique units or at least e.g. just add in em Arab infantry, coz I'll have to say that they really deserve more than being the least varied Muslim faction? That'll maybe convince me to stop where I am in v2.0.0 and move on to the new one although I'm not even halfway done ...

Oh, make that two comments actually: the Muslim princesses, at least for the Abbasids, have no voice overs whatsoever... From what I've read, there's a mod that allows you to use the Eastern European princesses' voices instead... dunno how, but just a useful change I guess...

Take your time hehehe (I'm sure many others'd prefer it to be released asap though ) and gud luk!

Peaceage

[tornnight]

I definately plan on it. It's a slow going process as I don't have anyone helping me with the skinning. Anyone?

Once I'm done with the current 'high priority' fixes, I'll get back to skinning.

[Rusty Hammer]

any thoughts about making crusades more difficult???

ai money/garrison scripts perhaps??

[tornnight]

Hopefully the line

- Tweaked AI economy, AI now usually has 2 full stacks and decent garrisons.

will help with that.

I'll look into it.

[Rusty Hammer]

anymore tweaks on castles???? it would be neat if they gave special traits to the generals posted there

[Caspand]

about castle traits, BBB 2.0 have some education traits gained from castles.

[Zaid]

Great !!!
it should be estampiled 2.1.0 not 2.0.1 because it's a great work

[Pitus]

I like your explain Tornnight... done, todo, possible...
I dont know how skinning, but if i can help in other things, i was here!!!

Sorry for my english and Thanks

[Xeno_cws]

Really looking forward to this release! Finally getting some traits for my naval commanders!!

Also I don't know if you've fixed this in 2.01 but the lowest level of town cannot upgrade. You could have 2000 people in it (like I have had) but unless you upgrade to castle then back to town your stuck. Might have been fixed in this version though not sure yet.

Like your field costs, it should (hopefully) limit all those major factions just dumping a ton of small units in your territory and doing nothing with them (scottland comes to mind)

Please don't add agents to field cost, its costly enough as is


Lastly could you explain settlement maintenance costs? Is it just an added deduction to limit you cash flow?



Thanks for all your hard work!

[St-Emilion]

Keep up the good work tornnight.

I really liked the Khwarezmian 'state' idea, since it played an important role during the Mongolian invasion.

Please don't forget to fix the units on the campaign map. If a captain leads an army he is shown as a Prince. This is only for the new factions, ie Kiev.

p.s. Minsk still has Turkopoles

[ruizbumkins]

Favorite mod!
Any idea when we will get Aragon and Pisa as factions??

Don't hold your breath.

I got lots to do before I get to those factions.

[tornnight]

Nice. I hadn't noticed the captains having the wrong model. Fixed.

I also started to edit the Turkomans out of that area.

[KaerMorhen]

Last week I've dowloaded LTR 2.0 and right now campaigning as Oriflame. I do enjoy the slow pace of the gameplay and most of it tweaks. After all I dare to say that little corrects should be done with campaign map - eastern europe in particular, except for this - great mod full time.

[MTM1977]

Sounds really good. I just started my first campaign with this mod, i guess i will need to start another one pretty soon

[Rex Inanimatus]

Thanks for the great mod, though I have 3 questions, the added cost will that be only for the human player?

and my second question is since we are already altering history by playing this great is it maybe possible to add gunpowder units to those nations who lacking that?

Third question is will it be save game friendly with 2.0?

Love this game though i have second thoughts on the expenses of foreign adventures/siege costs. The idea is ok, though before this mod I played Deus Lo Vult mod nad they implemented these costs as well for only the human player in DLV 3.0 and while it was fun in 2.11 it suddenly became a game of watch your neighbours catch all your neighbouring rebel settlements whilst try ing to build an economy to afford a foreign mission... Especially when hated by half the world and losing your capital in the first 20 years Moors/Egypt/Byzantium due to Jihad/crussades.
