Rise of the Eagles mod - Kingdom of Dioclea

[Leuton Eomund]

About the mod

"Rise of the Eagles" is a mod for Medieval 2 Total War Kingdoms 1.5 version, that aims to restore medieval feeling that was "ripped" from the heart of the game, bringing blood, gore and cruel realism into gameplay. First step of the mod is to bring kingdom of Dioclea to life. Kingdom of Dioclea was first serbian state with "rex", that ruled all of the serbian principalities that existed in those times (Zachumlie, Podgorye, Travunija, Rascia and Dioclea; Zeta ) You are probably asking yourself: "Why serbian state? There were many other interesting too!" Yes, there were, but it was the serbian state that ruled the Balkans in the fourteenth century. It was small medieval principality that would rise to the rank of the empire crushing all over the souhern-eastern Europe. Also, the prime goal of this mod is to expand the Grand Campaign of Medieval 2 TW to be more historically accurate. That means new names for the factions, reskinned factions, some new factions... Right now, list of the factons looks like this: Catholic factions: Kingdom of England Kingdom of France Holy Roman Empire Kingdom of Scotland Kingdom of Aragon Kingdom of Castilla Republic of Genoa Republic of Venice The Papal States County of Sicily Kingdom of Poland Kingdom of Hungary Orthodox factions: Eastern Roman Empire Principality of Kiev Kingdom of Dioclea Islam factions: The Seljuk Sultanate Fatimid Caliphate Almoravid Calphate Emerging factions: Kingdom of Jerusalem Mongols Timurids

have you ever heard of Tsardoms mod? here are previews

Preview of Tsardom of Serbia the one you'd be most interested


while it is not my desire to be critic, all of these units are vanilla units, from the game, would it not be better to make new and historical Serbian units?

Yeah, of course I know of Tsardoms Total War. Tracking them for a year now. Our Serbian people have such an amazing history, and still, we do not get enough appreciation.

I would, but it desire skill with modeling apps as 3dsmax and Milkshape3D. I am apprecieted with those two, but my skill level is not admirable... I am giving my best, right now, to design unique look for serbian troops, and even for king Mihajlo and his heir Bodin. But the main problem is, that there are not many historically accurate sources for kingdom of Dioclea, I mean of military part and infrastructure of the state.

But still, I'll give my best to make it as it should be.

I get that, but skill only comes with work and expirience
instead of starting a big project like this, would it not be better to join mod like Tsardoms, and help us finish it? we could help you out to improve your skills, and we would get another men which in end would speed up our progress

well anyway look here, this guy was making some very nice serbian units
