I agree on all points!

At first glance the only thing I was not impressed by was the look of the map. You forgot, awesome music

yes,the map needs an eye - candid overhaul

**Deep_Red** · February 22, 2011, 08:59 AM

I could certainly agree to every point you mentioned but at this moment I haven´t finished any campaign due to CTD, so unluckily I´m not that satisfied.

it is strange to me cos this mod is the only one that never crashed to me..
full understanding btw..

The thing that I love the most is the battle dynamics, it's so extremely authentic, something like you charge the archers, archers run for their lives, you catch them, they engage you, you ZOOM on the scene...AND some enemy cavalry unit charges you from behind killing half of your guys

battles are so extremely well designed you almost forget you're playing a game

The diplomacy also, and the Zones of Recruitement. Alliances are extremely useful. Kypchack aided me many times against rebels.

So many nights this MOD has kept me alive when I was studiying and falling asleep over the books, I just go and play a couple of hours and feel myself like if I returned to life. For me Broken Crescent is what Total War should always be.

Amen to that.

I wish I had more time to actually play it. I think I will soon take a few days off from life and bury myself in this game (once 2.3 is out of course).

Factions and the detail of how these diff groups tactics work out, and it's all pretty authentic, although I do think the Seljuks should be geared to produce more horse archers than they do currently as that was what they were most known for.

I've studied most of these diff military cultures and to get to play them on a game is very entertaining for me.

Ansar Warrior, Horse archers don't perform well on autocalculated battles so the Seljuks would be a pain in the ass for human players but would be smashed in 30 turns by Oman and Khwarezm

I tested it by myself. There's a limit, some 5-6 horse archers with decent melee stats by full stack and the armies perform well, go further and the faction is ruined

I wanna add there's something about broken crescent that no other mod has,and I got tons of them on my hd...maybe the map,maybe the units...I don't know but I feel it,call me noob,call me mad...

just today I had an amazing epic battle "the battle for Salalah",1700 omanites(me) vs 2700 ayubids,epic win

This Mod is one of the best things that happened to me during my current ridiculous semester !!!

BC Team well done.

My single favourite thing about the mod is the faction-specific generals' bodyguard units. It really helps to give each faction a unique and individual flavour. Such a little thing but makes such a big difference, IMHO

**Iguanaonastick** · March 25, 2011, 06:00 PM

... you're right, I'd forgotten that Vanilla didn't do this. (Well, in many cases at least.)

I think the Roman bodyguards are my favourites, they look... regal with their cloaks. But all of them look good and impressive.
