Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Scene #8

Game: M2TW: Kingdoms

Mod: KGCM (Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod)

Factions: England and France

Teaser:
I'm submitting this strictly for the community's amusement. This is not a 3 month game descriptive, nor is it to be taken seriously.
At all.
A fair majority here appreciate the comedy of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. So, I wondered what it would be like to try and story-board a scene.
Frankly, it's not that easy.
Numerous tweaks and changes had to be made to various files: EDU, Texture files, projectiles, etc.
I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed creating it.
This is submitted to simply bring a smile to your otherwise hectic day.

[Lysimachos]

After long abstinence from competional AARing I proudly present the comeback of

The Legacy of Megas Alexandros

An Europa Barbarorum 1.1 with RomeTW-ALX.exe (Rome - Total War: Alexander) AAR

Arche Seleukeia - The seleucid empire

May the strongest rule - these words, spoken by Alexander the Great on his deathbed in the ancient city of Babylon, were enough to tear apart the circle of his closest friends and shatter the unprecedented empire build by his hands. One of these companions of Alexander was Seleukos, who came to rule the largest successor-kingdom, reaching from Thrace to the Indus river.
His heirs, the seleucid kings, are the focus of this narrative AAR, while they struggle to overcome the innumerable foes encroaching on the borders of the empire and to fulfill a dead man's greatest dream.
