Brandybarrel....you know why i quote this post? Any guesses? Hmmm? Anybody?

Because the statement is true. Real, vrai.

Some advice, there are dozens of unit mods outside, start asking permissions and implement them one by one. Start with Polished Poland and CBUR.

I disagree. I think that one of this mod's greatest advantages is its small file size and lightweight feel. Bogging it down with needless graphics improvements that don't add to gameplay would be throwing away this advantage. I welcome new units, but there's really no need to improve the graphics in future releases.

Who said anything about graphics? I was simply commenting on the vanilla ripoffs that most unit rosters are. While, adding units from other mods, or making some new ones on his own, would make it even better.

Well, the mods that you mentioned are both rather graphics-heavy, so I assumed that you were making the suggestion on a graphics basis - I agree with you that new units would be a nice thing, but if the vanilla graphics could be preserved, that would be good too - it's the best of both worlds.

Looks like you have an interesting concept here. I am downloading now, and I will be back in a few to let you know what I think!

Edit:
After playing through a dozen or so turns as Georgia, I have come to the realization that this is an awesome mod. The turns fly by because there is no fear of starting an unnecessary war; you're already at war with the entire map for goodness sakes! Without having to move diplomats and princesses around, the game is shortened tremendously. This mod is definitely for those looking to just wage all out wars against their opponents.

My favorite map is the last campaign map in which there are only 8 settlements and 8 factions. It is easy to see how the player could be quickly overwhelmed if he/she does expand immediately.

The only thing that I ask for though, is a campaign that starts out like vanilla: hardly anyone is at war with anyone else, there are princesses/diplomats. I love the layout of this map as it makes ships almost useless and traveling around the entire map is now possible (it would take a while though!)

Overall, very good mod. I love the premise of all out war, but at the same time, I would love to have a campaign that utilizes the same map/factions but adds diplomacy back into the equation.

Is very nice... the idea is very nice... but the campaign maps, especially the grand campaign map, is too short, with few regions to conquer... so my idea is this: change the size of the grand campaign map OK? Your idea is good, but needs somethings yet ok?

good luck =D

Guild assassin, I can't whait to play as them. And I can't whait to kick some Swedish and Danish ass Now give me my axe, damit!

There are offcourse many many unhistorical elements, but this looks like just pure fun with the specific goal so I will leave that under the carpet.

Really , a good job on this mod! I enjoyed myself on the total "losgehen" warfare , especially on the 8 faction map.
+rep for the hard work and because this mod is quiet nice

[jinjo]

[Baerke Hinn Gauzki]

This would fit me (with our stupid download limit) perfectly!! Hm.... I'll give it a try!!^^

[Reverend Scott]

Downloading now.

I have indeed seen the unit rosters, looked through them before I downloaded the mod, in fact (Papal Knights and Imperial Halberdiers are my favorite new units). I just feel like there is a fair amount that could be done with adding new units. Don't get me wrong, I love the mod as it is, and there is a lot of content here, which is great, and I certainly respect all the hard work that must have gone into the mod, but I feel like a few more new units for some of the new factions (like Sweden and Georgia), diverging a bit from vanilla, would be great - this is because I like what I've seen so much that I'd like to see what you can come up with for the new factions.

Hi Mythic

I share the same sentiments. After 2+ years on the solo-project I might have shared this fate if I hadn’t released BattleAxe. Video

[Mythic_Commodore]

Haha, at least you got your mod released! After two years of work, my mod project was just a buggy, unplayable mess! Any hints as to what we can expect in the future, or are we lowly peons just going to have to wait?

[BeingOwned:)SPQR]

Oh, tsk tsk, I am going to make love with this mod so much!
Someone PM me the team members so i can +Rep them all, dont have the time now. Sorry
