Great news can't what to play them

[Black_Nebula]

Can't wait to see the Berbers. I just tried them out and thought they were pretty roman looking. Looking forward to see what changes you will add to them.

Perhaps, since the mod had huns attack, expanding the map to north France, where the huns were defeated, would seem like a good idea. Perhaps add aggresive tribesmen in south france and in the alps to make the romans stretch their troops. And i didnt like how half my armies become rebels, and tell me that France will destroy them :-)

welcome kikiriki

I believe we are adding more regions to the current vandalorum map. Mathias of athens or riothamus could answer that question better. I have already added the burgundians. The huns and mauri factions are being worked on by myself and morfans. I am also going to work on the ostrogoths, another added faction. There will be more of a threat to the roman faction.

Riothamus could answer your question on the frequency of armies turning rebel. I believe this is going to be toned down.

[midnite]

The mauri are pretty much finished. They look quite decent. I am going to play them myself.

Next -- the ostrogoths and some fine tuning to the romans.

[kikiriki]

Im liking the Ostrogoths, since they DID destroy Rome at the very end, so they are important :-) Also the burgundians are a nice addition, maybe some Franks from the north would be ok (just take the Meroving units from Brittania, its basicaly the same thing :-)

Also most of my units were filthy and had broken shields, from what i know Italy was mostly intact after 410. so they should have unbroken shields, if i train them there, right?

And please take away the French accent from rome rebels :-)

All in all, cant wait for the mod, yall are some of the most talented modders on these forums, and Conquestus Britannia is a ing awesome mod!

We thank you kikiriki for the kind words
-The Franks are just out of this mods range. They are north of the Loire still and not yet victors over the Alemanni. They will have to wait for the Flagellum Dei mod
-The Ostrogoths will be a nice introduction before the Rex Italiea mod.
-Ill see what can be done with the accents

[Riothamus]

-A tremendous amount of progress has been made with new buildings and in depth building trees. Two new factions and many new units for the existing ones. A great deal added to the map. More provinces and modified landscapes. An update with pics and descriptions forth coming

[Harpsichord]

This is sounding really good. Enjoyed the mod but found it a bit lacking in some areas, hopefully with this update it'll be even better

[cigar man]

Are you guys planning to add new music in the update, because the new music that you put in Conqvestvs Britanniae is very excellent and greatly adds to the atmosphere of the mod.

This will most likely be so

[cigar man]

awesome

[midnite]

submitted the next patch for vandalorum II. This adds many of the ostrogoth units to the mod.

[Riothamus]

Ostrogoth event: WIP

[Reno Melitensis]

Well God have to deliver the Empire first from the Huns then from the Ostroghoti, great work Rio.

Cheers.

[juvenus]

this keeps getting better and better...
