Der dreissigjährige Krieg v1.0

Is Noorkoping really close to Stockholm though? o_O I dont know my Sweden that well, but in mods, its usually not that close, except in Stainless Steel

Why not have north up to Stockholm BTW? Not enough regions left or something?

The border of the map is at Norrköping. Stockholm is beyond the northern border of the map.
Also i see no real cause for more swedish regions, if i remeber right, Gustav Adolf fought and died in germany, where the war was. Its like doing a game about D-Day 1944 and bring in regions of south-africa and california, some soldiers come from, correct, but there was no battle.

I also use custom battle for seeing whats what And testing strategies.

I hate how some mods are custom battle only though. I cant mod, but I dont think map making is the hardest thing in modding, I heard that from the EB2 team, I THINK. Making units is the hardest thing according to them

Missed this one.

Map making isn't the hardest thing. Unit making isn't the hardest thing. Scripting isn't the hardest thing. Depending on the level of detail you wish to obtain each can reach levels that would make a masochist squirm.

Putting everything together and getting it to work sensibly THAT is by far the hardest thing. Which probably explains the underlying hostility of the modders when someone comes and says "Just doing\fixing [enter pet gripe] can't be so difficult. Waaah, I am disappointed!"

Come on the delay is like almost 1 and a half months!!!1

[Ciciro]

At least its not like we've been waiting for two years...

[tombergr]

I too am waiting and I believe that this sequel will be worth it ..? The mods 1648 is already perfect!

Pope Benedict quit being Pope to play this mod. Why do you want to disappoint him? Hes old

Anyway, whats the news on the translation? Gotta imagine its almost done

Pope Benedict quit being Pope to play this mod. Why do you want to disappoint him? Hes old

And I am sure he will mod the Catholic League playable.

[tombergr]

It would be possible to include in the new mode to play in the campaign battles with online rivals

Hi guys, nice to see you nearing the release of the second version!
Interesting screenshot of the Bavarian unit roster Gigantus. I see many musket&pike units which are the same except for colours. I assume these are the same units for different factions, e.g. Trier, Bremen, Mainz... pikes and muskets. My question is are this "samey" units available to all factions the same, or the ones we see available to Bavaria are only from allied states- e.g. from Bremen, Mainz, Austria; but not from Saxony or Pfalz? Also, it looks like the cavalry has been fixed, it really bugged me that there weren't mounted arquebusiers.

Lastly, will the new version of the mod be out as a patch or stand alone? And is there going to be a download available other than torrent?

Good luck with the release!

[hunter370]

I'm just wondering but it there an English version of the mod or is it just German?

[Jerat]

There will be an english translation in the next version, which is announced to be released in near future. Just wait a bit.

[Gigantus]

The new version will be a stand alone, initially as a torrent but mirrors with "regular" downloads should be available shortly thereafter - if not at the same time.

[Mr Kriegtooth]

Hm, any progress reporting to make?

I'll probably wait for the mirrors to come up, or for the torrent to have better seeds. Dunno who would be uploading it though

[Gigantus]

I will be uploading the torrent directly (not via a torrent site), the other members of the team will be downloading it for the final test which then should provide a decent seed base once we release it. I assume a regular download will then shortly thereafter be available at infracta.

[PikeStance]

There will be an english translation in the next version, which is announced to be released in near future. Just wait a bit.

Ah man, I knew I should had gone to the last page before downloading it. I just assume from the start date that it would had been done by now.

If the new version is a stand alone version, then I assume I should just uninstall the one I downloaded???

[Gigantus]

The new version will install into a new folder (we know our fans... )

And the download will be in it's own forum in the Kingdoms: Hosted Modifications forum

[NekoGenijalan]

Excellent news!

[Teutonic]

Thanks for the info Gigantus. I'll be freeing some space in my PC's HD.

[ZeEmperor]
