Excellent Mod!

All since my GFX card died on me and i had to dust of my old geforce 4200TI card, i have looked for a decent total war mod that could satisfy my craving for Medieval massacres, now that i couldnt play M2TW.
Chiv:TW was just what the doctor ordered, it surpasses M2TW in many areas for instance the medieval look and feel is much better in Chiv than it is in M2TW, much because of the excellent music and unit skins.

Thanks to the mod team for their great work on Chiv:TW!

BTW; Is there planned any expansion of the timeline in future versions? (up to 1400?)

Oh, your medicus actually knows what's good for you
You are welcome in our castle, perhaps the magican has still some secrets to show you in the book of Chivalry.

Well, as for quite detailled but general info about the mod, you can everything find in the main Release thread.

For a short but though long answer to the timeframe:
No. ChivTW started as one of the very first, perhaps the first, real total conversion project ideas of RTW (means, changes the timeframe and world to a complete other epoche), right after the release in 2004 ... and then to adapt the 3 eras campaign system of M1TW. In the year 2006 all the valuable unit work of high and late era was lost during a hd crash by the unit maker. From this point on, the idea to realise the high and late era has been dropped.

What makes this mod especially worth as a must-have for any RTW/BI owners:
Therefore (as quasi replacement of a 3 eras content) the early era (high middleage) in one campaign, was worked out with passion and a quite unmatched in-depth development along global balancing with historical-realism design plus recognising always the theme ai support, and special new goodies as new 3dbuildings/settlements, and this already in 2006 ... in that year the project was on its high (just before M2TW came out), and we also gained a few awards. The development never stopped completely ... the result of all these efforts will be a final version 1.0 with two campaign-starts (1072 "The Rise of Chivalry" and 1099 "The Crusader Epoche") at the end of the year 2008.

Recently with 0.98, a lot new content has been added, and especially new units were added or reskinned, those need now new unit info cards and icons, and in the whole the mod gets some final tweaks, then this mod is finished.

Thanks for your praise.

I have no idea of which knight models you are speaking ... only a screenshot could help here. The other thing is though, that old mod version aren't online anymore, not that i know of them at least, for example the old knight models are from 2005 and to October 2006, then 0.50 came out with new models.
If you mean the old ones of ChivTW 0.34-0.44, well i just have reactivated a few of them for certain roles, which will be content in 1.0.
