Bellum Crucis Next Version: info, wip and preview NEWS 09/02/2014

[+Mr.Crow+]

Kind users,

in this thread we will show everything regarding the next version of Bellum Crucis.
Before we starts to do it, we have to infrom you about a problem that will heavily influence the next release of our mod.
Unfortunately, it will influence the next version in a rather negative way.

This is the problem:

our ex-team mate Brancaleone da Norcia (who create map and AI) has left the team due to a private quarrel between him and the rest of the team.
After this, he said that we can't modify or add to the next version download any of his stuff (stuff already released to the public in previous versions of BC with is consensus).


News about Branca's prohibition (09/02/2014)

Hi guys, we have a news about the prohibition imposed by our ex-team member Brancaleone da Norcia. We have asked to Gigantus (member of the hexangon council) about Branca's prohibition legitimacy and he, after a consultation with his colleagues, has said that, according to TWC rules, we can continue to use Branca's stuff in the next version of BC as long as it's not altered cause Branca's stuff has already been published with previous BC version and so it can't be retracted in any way and can be used by every future Bellum Crucis version. Just the use of his stuff outside BC requires Brancaleone da Norcia's permission. So next version of Bellum Crucis will be released almost certainly as stand alone version.

This means that next verison will not have any progress about map and IA (so the main problem will remain the same), but you users will be able to download it as STAND ALONE version (more simple to download)!

What will be added in the next version of Bellum Crucis ?

This is a really generic changelog that we will update in future:

* New Lithuanian faction *
* New Volga Bulgaria faction*
* Milan faction replaced with Genoese faction *
* Many new units *
* Many reworked units *
* All units will have HD faces *
* New menu screen *
* New loading screen *
* New introductive video *
* Fixed some EDU stats *
* New units card*
* New units info card *
* Some new script *
* General bugfixing about old features*



Waiting a future and more detailed update about next version wip, the BC Team want to wish you a happy new year and thank you for all the support.


This is the intro that our videomaker Imbera create for the next BC release:

Yes, thats some good news, thanks for the info. BC is still one of the best Medieval 2 mods and the new content sounds even better.

[Stath's]

can't wait!! I have been so impressed by BC!!!

[rafmc1989]

Continuate così ragazzi!

[demagogos nicator]

Just now found this thread and read the news in English. I cant wait the release. Bellum crucis is the mod which is closest to what can be called Medieval Total Realism.
If I may i would like to express some of my suggestions/whishes for next version:
1.) separate genrals bodyguards units for early and late period
2.) remodeled milites (early knights) with historicaly accurate equipment for the time period
3.) longer battles
4.) quivers for the european archers on their belt not on their back (for reason of historical accuracy)
5.)fixed inacurracies in the unit recruitment (Yoamen and other late archer/crosbow units recruitbale at the start of the game)

Thanks for your effort on this great mod and wish you best luck.
