idea for next patch

**cottontail** · October 19, 2008, 11:18 AM

Hello, I've been playing Stainless Steel for awhile, and I've just had an idea for the next patch. What if you add a late era campaign, that starts off on the origination of the Timurids? I've always wanted to play as the timurids, and this would be awesome. Of course, I don't want this to be any trouble. Just a suggestion, you don't have to take it into consideration. Just though it would be a nice idea if it wasn't to much work.

I wouldnt hold your breath, he seems to be fully devoted to that lotr mod.

i feel that this mod is at the end of its life as far as kk adding to it (a presumption), which isnt a bad thing...its a fine mod and i feel i would play it a year from now if i was bored, even though i think its lacking many things, but its still a fine and stable mod.

i just want EB2 to arrive

Cottontail you are a true visionary...+Rep{IOU} I'm with you to the end with this. Unfortunately unless you can catch the attention of one of those great
sub-modders{

} We will both look like this....

before your phenomenal idea bears fruit.

If your really serious and want to swap strategies give me a holler.

Or you could stop presuming and read the SS status report!

we'll see.

that was in july, and nary a post here, the basis of my presumption. i doubt much can be dont before empire drops and many current mtw2 players convert, making the investment of his time not worth it.

i consider this a complete mod.

I still maintain my stance on letting Sultans take princesses as concubine ancillary.

That would rock.

I concur. I think at best we won't see much of KK until TATW is complete. Even then, it's likely he'll be tied up with patches and updates for that mod. I think anything we see for SS in the near term will be the product of the talented sub-modders.

yep, once that mod drops thats just the beginning of the effort. he should be proud of this mod, what can he do besides placate people like myself who argue about factions etc?

the game is amazingly stable, and as you said its up to the community to add to it...as they have done quite well.

i use many submods and love the byz mod, even though i groan at some of the language usage for the units (i like translations). i'm prolly in the minority there and accept that. its a great sub mod though.

SS is a great mod. It's come a long way, but for every beginning there needs to be an end. Even the greatest empire crumbles with time.
The only thing I'm really hoping for in the next patch is an upgrade of to The Golden Horde faction. They just don't hit the way they used to.
Other than that, I'm good. A little tweak here and there, but nothing big.
