i delete the other pics of the crowns, but i can say, that all this crowns are really crowns. but; some of the crowns are not from this countries. it is hard to find the crown from this time.

the crowns from this time was very simple like this:

but it was not enough individuall for me.


p.s. portvcale receives a new one. i think that this one is for a woman

[joedreck]

i didn't forget this mod. i'm working on ancillaries at the time.

there are some changes. the medals are not more up-to-date.
i've make it more realistic.

new ancillaries ideas are welcome.

[joedreck]

here are examples for the ancillaries:

@Beorix
the shield design and flags are relesed in kings banner, but the pavese, venecian shields and ancillaries are special for art of war.
this is a preview, yes.


be patience. i'm working on the ancillaries. the new are:

[Salty]

Hey, greetings from the Bundeswehr! My first month is over now, but I do not have time to work on the Mod. So be patient, it will be released! At the Moment I am at the ex-GDR, but i will be near my Hometown in October, then I will be able to work on the mod again. In the Meantime only Joe is able to Mod.

[joedreck]

new ancillaries for arabic factions. i change the most of the ancillary pics for the arabic faction. no more and architect, which looks european or a tutor, which looks like da vinci. the most of them are looks arabic.

the second change is, that the most of the ancillaries are transferable. when you get a merc captain for example, you can give him an other general. this is more realistic.
but be careful, some ancs you never will loose

[KuKulzA]

NEVER lose?
hmmm... Herpes...
-1 morale, -1 hitpoints, -1 management, -1 influence, etc.

mhm, that'll never be lost... did they even have Herpes back then?

[joedreck]

hahaha Herpes


here are some new pics:

[KuKulzA]

hahaha Herpes

I'm sure STDs were around then... at least syphilis was.

I'm serious, put in syphilis as an attribute... hahaha... really

EDIT: maybe the prerequisite attributes have to be...

Dirty Minded
Whoring

...then...

Syphilis

[Beorix]

is this mod dead?

[Salty]

This mod is now a part of "Kings Banners 3.0" which you can find under Hosted Modifications.

yes, a part of kings banner. salty have not many time and for me alone it is to much work with 2 mods.
i have not enough time for one. so we decide to fusion the mods together to one big mod.

the download links from kb 2.0 and art of war are death, cause filefront delete them and don't know why.
i have not a backup, so i can't upload them again.
i can only say, that kb 3.0 will have the value parts from kb 1-2 and all things from Art of War,
like the ancillaries and the hunderts of shields. they will come many new things, like individual generals for many factions,
more shields and some more things.
