Broken Crescent 3.0 Pre-Preview!

[YetiFatMan]

Second question on Yemen. Which faction is Yemen represented by? Will it be the Rassid Imamate, the Kharijites of Zabīd, Banu Karam? Knowing the game starts in the spring of 1174 makes it possible to be a Yemenite power, and I love to hear this very much. I just want to know who is being represented now since Yemen is one of my favorite places in Earth.

Excellent preview! I really find the maps very good and the factions selection uber cool.

So B.C. is getting bigger and better!!! Alright!! Good luck team!!

Holy .... Allhahu !!!

Yes You made it ... YES you cured me ... or destroyed me ... I was sober for 4 month ! 4 month without playing M2TW and I even de-installed ... but BC succeed in making me come back

I haven have (for the first time) the original CD (since torrents were always a pain the arse with mods) ... and I'm looking forward for this mod

I loved BC2, it was my preferred mod in M2TW, I really enjoyed it

I see that you have eliminated the Useless/to safe regions : Famagusta, Crete and Socotra ... with the limitation of the AI, they were no enhancement for the game play anyway (conquer, garnish, and forget)

The wider map is epic and I'm ready to dust of my swords

Great MOD and great work from you guys, keeping the BC series roaring with this 3 instalment is just great

You saved a M2TW fan from apathy

Hey,Silesian Noble,you always compare Armenia with other countries.I don't say that Armenia was more powerful than Byzantium and I never told the word "the most".I agree with karo I told that it was quite powerful for it's sizes and not so weak for only two cities if can't add more I don't say something.And,please read my posts more careful!!!

I don't care if Armenia, Makuria, Byzancium Empire of Santa Clausium Empirium was stronger
Please lets skip nationalistic crap and other useless discussion and instead enjoy the game. I suppose the criterion from selecting faction is : historical accuracy & gameplay experience

Nationalism is so

Will I don't care about Armenia being more powerful than the Santa Clausian Deadlium Empirium, I do care to know if this version of the BC will have some Battle and campaign AI improvement

Anyone can clarify me

Hey,what are you speaking about?

[Pambas]

Hey,what are you speaking about?

me ? nothing

I was just trying to resonate you after you rant when another person ''compared armenia to the Roman empire'' Lets leave nationalistic rant outside and focus on the mod

So does the battle and campaign AI is improved ?

I'm really interested to see if there a mean to have a maritime struggle bettwen the romans Navy and the Egytian one

I remenber the last time I played BC I mounted a sea expedition from Makuria to India ... everything went right until pirates sank my fleet and a full stack of troops and a general I did it again and succesfully landed my Makurian in India

So is there a mean to have some faction relatively active in sea warfare ? like more blockades and some sea landing and invasion ?

But please don't make it like a spam of galleys all over the place ... or I will have to use my secret weapons

Ok,let's,but there wasn't any nationalistic ideas in my post(I think so).
Anyway let's forget about it and just discuss the game.

Sorry for getting out of topic in earlier post ... so Can some one light about if their is some AI especially battle improvement ?

and if some faction will get active at the sea and lets maybe stage amphibious operations

Oh my God, this is a dream come true. Broken Crescent is by far the best M2 mod out there.

Hail!
It's an amazing pre-preview, I can't choose form Alania, Volga-Bulgaria, Vladimir and the Kara-Khitans to play first
I really hope, that smaller settlements (for example Cilician Seleukeia, Vahka, Dvin, Ani, etc.) will be represented with constant forts. It would be great. (In some mods this was included)

Will be included renaming script? (In mod 1143, this script was taken, and when Romanic peoples (Aragonese, Navarrese, Castillian and Portuguese) take an Arabic settlement, the Arabic name changed to Romanic (for example: Al-Ishbuna - Lisboa). In the Middle East it can be also useful.

Congrat once again! I'm looking forward the release!

This would be cool if possible. Turkish conquests of Smyrna and Nicaea etc can become Izmir and Iznik respectively. Roman reconquests of Erzurum or Malatya can become Theodosiopolis or Melitene respectively, etc etc....

Where will Delhi sultanate emerge? India?

I'd only be guessing, but I would assume they would spawn as a horde in the Punjab region.

I would also assume that the Mongols would emerge in the upper right corner of the map (either north of Lake Balkash or within the Kara Khitai domains instead of near Samarkand in BC1/BC2

I have not played Kingdoms or any Kingdoms-mod in over a year, so I can't remember, but are the forts themselves named?

They don't have names originally, but I read somewhere, that they could have names with a script. In some mods this is solved.

An other question:
Do you cooperate with Rusichi/Russ 2 team? I mean, that they have very amazing Kypchak, Alan, Bulgar, Mongol and, of course Rus (Vladimiran) units.

[CDMan477]

Maybe I missed it as I had to scan the whole thread rather quickly. I'm supposed to be working you know! I'm hoping it has been decided to move on to Kingdoms rather than a straight up MedII mod?

[jackx]

Looking good, will be interesting how this turns out... most intrigued by the succession script, because it seems to run counter to the large map and of course the underlying TW gameplay model of "fight everyone and conquer the whole world/map"...

Personally, I would like a campaign in which most factions were still there at the end of it because there's no rise of superpowers that swallow up everyone else - sadly, taking over the whole world in endless stack-spam-battles is apparently more "epic" and what people like to play.

[Vardan the Great]

I also liked you design. It looks historical.
