For sheer atmosphere and intensity...

[Atatürk]

...You can't beat Broken Crescent.

I've never played such an intense and atmospheric strategy game in my life and I doubt another game will ever match it.

Just imagine being in the blistering heat of the Arabian desert, the sun beating down on you, the sand rising into the air and resisting any movement you might make. That is the kind of atmosphere Broken Crescent provides with its scorching music.

It doesn't matter if other mods or games have more features than Broken Crescent, it really doesn't matter. Broken Crescent cannot be matches for its sheer atmosphere and intensity.

Thank you for delivering such a masterpiece of a game. I mean it when I say that this is the best game I've ever played, it is my favourite game of all time.

BC 1.5, then All Under Heaven, woot this will be great, first as the mongols carving a path all the way to the Turks, or even in AUH, my Moritomo Clan cutting a swathe all the way from China to the very limits of their maps, mwuahhaha which somewhere there at Persia or something.

Well if we can match even a bit of BC's appeal we'll be onto a winner. The whole idea actually was initially pitched as 'where BC end AUH begins' and that is just about true as far our respective maps look. Anyway once its released someone can create a 'complete Eurasian supermod' that allows you take your Minamoto bushi all the way....to Constantinople.

It will be so epic, the universe will imploed because of the awesomeness, the iconic samurai vs knight will finally occur once my armies meet the Crusaders and Muslims.

I would like to add diveristy to this characteristic. That's why I like this mod so much. Vanilla M2TW with it's Europe is quite boring. SS with it's Mediterranean is much better. But BC with it's Asia is breathtaking and unique.

Do you remember "Centurion"? I played it on my Amiga computer, long time ago (on chrono-technological scale). But I won't forget that game, despite there are many far better today. So it will be with Broken Crescent.

Tapping into the wild and unexplored nature of Medieval Arabia and Asia : Magic.

" A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
...
"Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
...
"A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you "

[PubliusKhannus]

along with BC .Clouds across Europe is a very dramatic intense mod i have found. highly recommend the both to u.

[=IlgarKhan=]

I have to be honest I love this mode more than the game itself! Here are the reasons why;

1)You guys did great research the are very little historical innacurancies unlike the game itself which is full of it.
2)I love the diversity of the units not only in a faction, but the models creating the unit is very diverse. Gives a sense of reality.
3)The trivia you added (via some placeholer buildings, events, traits) really sucks you into the game.
4)I absolutely love the concept of hording in the game!!! I love how you cannot destroy some factions that quick because they horde away to some place else.
5)I really liked the way you guys put a lot of provincies that it is very hard an takes a while to create a vast empire. Very Realistic !!
6)I liked the new traits and ancillaries you guys added it really spices up the gameplay

So, that's it for now guys I'm pretty sure I missed some stuff but I just didn't come to mind right now. THX A LOT FOR THIS MOD!!!

[Tankai]

I still prefer EBII...

[Bernem]

hehe, I recognize the last screenie that was a hell of a battle. two kwarezmian armies against two of mine (sindh) that was really tough!

[Copperknickers II]

I've never played such an intense and atmospheric strategy game in my life

Then i'm guessing you haven't played EB?

[Bull]

EB was totally intense and atmospheric, well, until regular CTDs destroyed that atmosphere.
The devs wouldn't admit it but there are a lot of us out there that get CTDs enough to ruin an otherwise great mod.

Two things:

1. I don't know why the issue of other mods is raised in an apologistic thread concerning BC. If you want to praise other mods, go to the other mods subforums.

Just kidding

2. Well, I do all sorts of things with EB, and I cannot say, that it is affected by regular CTDs. It's a bit less stable than BC, but that's it.

but for now, you can beat BC!

You mean: "you can't"?

Well, I did. No hard feelings, and still looking forward to EBII.
But for now, I am content to skip ETW and just keep playing BC until BC1.5 comes out.

I agree. of course, three or four mods that I have been really waiting for are almost done so....but for now, you can't beat BC!

[knight of virtue and valor]

yes, I meant can't.

[C.Maximus]

Third Age comes close, But if you arnt a middle earth fan then BC is the top, NEver have i gotten into a faction as I did with my Hindu people, I remember almost breaking my bong when my most influential faction leader was taken down by a Mongol horse division.... but then, as the Hindu's believe, all things must pass.

[bleach]

Totally agree. Other mods are good, but few of them have a distinctive feel of their own. BC feels like a completely different game from M2TW. (And yes, so does Eb for RTW)

[Kabudhan]

Yeah, BC seems to make me look at my character's traits a lot more than I would otherwise. I remember well this campaign where I had a low authority Sultan and sent him on a rampage to make the other nobles respect him. Poor guy turned into a monster.

[The Noble Lord]

I agree with everyone else, the BC mod is truly amazing and it is one of the finest
pieces of gaming art that has ever been created!
