So this will be in game, but only as a script before a historical battle.

So before the fight begin you will fight 1on1 with the AI and then you will fight with your whole army ?

Basically yes.

Well, it's not so much that you will fight 1 on 1 - the fight is scripted.

Hah, you're crazy!

Respect!

That description about the ingame War and Economics is pretty impressive. Seriously this mod looks better and better with every other day.

If I could ask: How long do you think it will take for the english version of this mod to appear after the first release of this mod?

And also how many turns per year there will be?

Thanks.

Well, Russia is our priority. Because, frankly, I'm not too sure that most people here will be interested in the actual mod. The new game play parts, graphics - sure, definitely. But as a whole, as a historical mod...

I'd say a couple weeks. Depends on how busy and/or motivated I am, actually (cause I'd have to do the whole thing).

2 turns per year.

Cool youre actualy right if i did for example an Armenia Total War i would have to make the graphics really something new for people tolike it keep going

Hello. As I can see you do position your mod mainly for russian-speaking people. I'd like to ask, why you arent making PR on russian gaming or totalwar-sites/forums? At least of same level of detalisation. For example leading totalwar-portal in russian part of internet is tw.org.ua (Sich). Its known to you. So why dont make same preview on native language of your mod there?

I think that a lot of people would be very much interested in the actual mod. And to speak for myself I have to say that I am really interested as it seems that this mod will kick ass, seriously those many campaign features (Civil wars, redone economies, scripted invasions etc.) are really appealing, and I think that they really set up a new standart for the upcoming mods.

I hope that you will manage to come up with english version, or otherwise I would be forced to order one of those russian brides from internet to translate for me while I will be playing this (Or I could kidnapp my grandpa and use him as a slave/translator - as he speaks russian)

On the mini map you've featured, there's a number of factions whom I can't really discern the identity of, namely the pink, green, blue,red, beige and black in the north-east, as well as others. Are they factions, such as 'clones' of existing ones (Like the north-easterners all sharing the same models, but having different names, representing a variety of Finno-Urgalic Tribes?), or are they not meant to be in the actual release?

Also, how are you handling the other factions model/texture wise? Going to use public releases of EREs or TUrks and so on?

**CaesarBR** · September 03, 2008, 02:19 PM

Awesome!!!

I'm really glad to see that now Russia is being perfectly portrayed by a mod! Russia really deserves it!

In reality, 2x the number of factions exist - it's for the civil war.

The way it works is, if a certain number of various conditions happen, a shadow faction is created from certain regions (the less satisfied) of your (or a computer - civil war happens to them a well!) faction. They have the same exact, well, everything that you do, but with different colors.

Oh, and they hate you.
