Maghrib Preview (Morocco and some of Algeria)

Question: Will we be able to march from North Africa to the Iberian Peninsula across the Strait of Gibraltar or do we need a ship to carry men across it?

Also, this mini preview looks fantastic. Textures and graphics look amazing!

Thank you very much.

Currently you need a ship but I think when it is released you will just be able to send troops across.

I have crossed the Straight of Gibraltar in real life. It is a very narrow stretch of water so I think just being able to march them in is OK because it didn't seem to deter many invaders of Iberia in the past. This includes the Moors and the Arabs.

Nice work, but it only shows Northern Africa, is there any regions further south?

Yes. Although they are currently a work-in-progress and have not yet been previewed.

You can see how far south the map extends by looking at the minimap in the bottom left corner of the last image I posted.

so.. i am assuming by the length of time this has been in the works, and the lack of question on the subject in question (that i have been able to find) that this next question is going to be redundantly redundant. if not painfully reopening a wound... but i must ask.

projected release date? ::hides::

for what it is worth, i only ask because i am looking forward to it... if that helps.

I'd like to say it will be released before the end of the world in December but I can't guarantee that.

The greener the sheet the better for you - green color means, that the research PSF is completed.

I was planing to give my men a little shoreleave near Timbuktoo once they've conquered northern Africa, seems like in DotS I can

.

Btw Ed will it appear as a Large Town or a City on our campaign map? Re:
"12th Century and within 200 years had become an immensely wealthy city, at the centre of important trading routes for salt and gold."

Edit: is Timbuktoo even within the DotS map? I'm not so sure we go that south in Africa...

**Cyprian2** · April 04, 2012, 02:29 AM

Maybe Ed is planning his next trip there.

Yeah Timbuktu is in the game and will be represented as a large and wealthy settlement.

Hi,

I am from Tunisia. Let me know if (and how) I can help you, guys.

Promising work so far... It's going to be a great Mod indeed.

**Publius Aelius** · April 04, 2012, 09:37 AM

Nicely done.

**Admiral Piett** · April 14, 2012, 01:40 AM

I've been listening to that track Ofous d'Ifous a lot lately. Thanks for that guys! Great cruising music.

beau travail les gars !

**Diglytron** · April 16, 2012, 04:28 AM

Nice man, i expecially like the fact that there are some inland settlements where you can hideout. Is the AI going to try to take the Moors land just like in the Original game and in Stainless Steel, or does the script change?
