About the next patch

Hello everyone !! i was just wondering what the new patch gonna include ... possible a new era ???

There will be no new era with this patch for sure, but many other changes and new stuff which is currently in testing. Due to the fact that only few players seem to be willing to participate in the testing, it might take a bit more time than expected to release it... *sigh*

The current beta testers made/make a good job, but actually every test-report provides more work, so the effect is rather a "delayed" release-date.
But, the other site is, that the testing provides a better build than before, and that's what is actually important. So i think, i can say, the waiting-time for the 2 Chiv-fans is worth :wink:

And, the main problem is, that we are still too less active devs. I'm glad though, that Uranos joined us newly, to help with the map and with 2d graphics.

You can expect for the next early era patch: (a short description)

- More or less slightly overhauled campaignmap, with a special feature (but this feature will be tested first in the next time).
- Pretty much new or added 2d graphics.
- Some new (and fixed) unit skins.
- Battles pretty ctd-free.
- Overhauled tech-tree (recruitment/construction and some other details), with many hidden resources to increase the challenge, but with some features, ie. regions with crusader and "merc" recruitment.
- Overworked campaign balance to a slight more historical direction, as far as it possible overall, ie. Seljuks/Turks will be a pain in the ... .
- Historical character names-stuff/family tree.
- Appropiate rebel subfactions.
- And a very maybe, some battlemap 3d buildings.
- And just some more or less minor changes.

Hm, there wasn't a promise regarding the 3d buildings for the next patch, it is rather a hope.

Is this mod near 100% complete, as I still know there are things being added?

**Shadow_Imperator** · August 28, 2006, 11:14 AM

Still along way from 100% mate. These guys haven't even finished the early era to its entirety yet... But slowly and surely it is getting there...

With the campaign map, will you be increasing the visible size of both the cities and armies? Both are quite small and difficult to see and locate. Thanks.
