Tsardoms Total War - General Discussion & Progress

[\Vazul's Ghost/]

yup, but i doubt that heroes will have their own models. only as historical appearance by the event. but not his "own" model

Cool, good to hear!

[Bosnian_King]

Ottomans are almost ready, so the map preview will be after that.

Our priorities for now are Serbia and Bosnia. After that we should implement Hungarian and Byzantine units.

After that we will probably release the first version, but I will for sure, and I think that Phoenix will too, continue to work on some other factions.

I am sorry but you are a little bit contradictorious with Phoenix_Ilusion. You are saying that Bosnia and Serbia are priority and someone else said that Bosnia will be the last faction together with the Otomans?

good luck

no mate, you've got it wrong. he says that ottomans are almost finished, so that ottoman preview will be soon. that is what i was saying too, that ottoman preview is coming soon.
and after that, our top priorities are serbia and bosnia, which means that these faction are priorities for v1.0. i've said that bosnia will be last done, and as serbia and bosnia are only left for v1.0 of priorities, serbia will be before bosnia, and bosnia as last priority faction. after we do all priority factions, maybe we'll continue working on others, maybe we'll just release the mod.

don't know where did you get that bosnia is coming together with ottomans

[2Shy]

in v1.0 will be the map smaller-I mean there will be less factions?

[2Shy]

and in v1.0 will be there at least 1-2 italian factions ( if the map stay the same way that is now) ?

Ok thank you for the info. I got it wrong then but now I understand. Thanks

And by the way... On base of what were those priorities determined? On base of the "Which faction will you play first" thread or on the base of a decission of the team members?

[il_duce_!]

No, actually, the map is now bigger. And there are a lot of factions. All factions will be implemented in v1.0. The question is only which will have unique skins and models. We would love to have 18 unique factions, but that s a lot of work, so we must prioritize some. Some factions (Byzantine and Magyar) will use units from others mods, some are ours and are unique, some will be from vanilla, some wil be added in v2.0. We will see...

il_duce I want ask you something-will messembria be on the map,because on the older map preview it was not.But in the bulgarian preview it was written that Mesembria was taken by the bulgarians from the byz(there also is said that Bulgarians are alied with tatars but there are no tatars in the game ) . SO?

Yes, Messembria is in. There are a lot of new regions, the map is big enough, but its not gonna be a "siege fest" map, because AI cant actually handle siege battles very well. So I decided to balance the things a little bit, and make a lot of open space between two adjacent settlements. So, I hope that in Tsardoms there will be more land battles then boring sieges. Bigger map also means more details.

and in v1.0 will be there at least 1-2 italian factions ( if the map stay the same way that is now) ?

In v0.35 () we got>
Genoa
Venice
Naples
Florence
maybe we will have Papal states but only as emerging via script
Austria in the north and Trinacria on the island of Sicily.

Ok thank you for the info. I got it wrong then but now I understand. Thanks

And by the way... On base of what were those priorities determined? On base of the "Which faction will you play first" thread or on the base of a decision of the team members?

We had a plan. And, like I said, we have some priorities that we made long time ago. We will try to fulfill them.

Besides that, we must keep in mind which factions historically were the most important in the area covered by our map and time frame.

And then we have the poll and the preferences of the team members.

So, a lot of factors.

[\Vazul's Ghost/]

Will you guys still use rebel shadow factions like you were postulating on a couple of years ago; e.g. 'Hungarian Rebels', or 'Byzantine Despot' etc.?

For Bulgarian Orthodox chants, Ioan Kukuzel's "Polyeley na Bulgarkata" is a definite must (the most beautiful Orthodox chant I've heard).
