BC 3.0 Map

[Byzantineboy]

Hi all!

We may use the 3.0 map (very big map)

But I need to have your opinion about.

Bad point: Release could take ever more time...
Bad point: We would need a very skilled fan to work on it. Because the map is not finished.

Good point: we could add even more factions (Kara-khitais, russians and bulgars from rusichi...)
Good point: map is really more realistic and interesting

But we would really need someone skilled and experienced on map to work hard on it. And I believe it is beyond my knowledges and capacities.

What do you think? If you think you are experienced enough to work on it, contact me or post it below in the comments.

I think using the 3.0 map will be good but as you said it will take tons of work and time. So i am suggesting to use the old since it's already there and it will make the mod to be finished earlier. unless there is someone who can work on it really hard but that means more factions and more researchers though.

Well I really prefer the map 3.0 of course (especially it means that could be included the factions of kara-khitai and the bulgars .) And respect who could help you with the map I think that these guys could be your men :

I think we could make the 3.0 map if we divide and conquer the work. Like the template map could be made easily (I could do that), and then one person could do all the mountains in ground-heights, another does rivers, etc.

I would LOVE to see Russia in Broken Crescent! The history of the transfer of the Orthodox faith from Byzantium to Russia is extremely fascinating and relevant from a Byzantine perspective.

I think we should use the already finished map - atleast if 2.4 comes out we could use the publicity to attract fans to make a 3.0 rather than have the project get bogged down in map design.

The bigger map shown on BC 3.0 is perfect I mean even gives room to add more factions. Also what's good it also allows Ethiopia to be added. I really do want another African faction to be added

Agreed. Not only will that add depth to the egyptian/african campaign, but also cause more religious dispute, and add a vital ivory/gold trading area for the famous Indian Ocean trade route. Adding Russia will provide for similar benefits as well; it will add to the mongol/polovtsy invasions, religious dispute, and MAJOR trade resources that have been really lacking in previous Broken Crescent mods, which are furs and slaves.

Other than these two places, the 3.0 map will add more distance to every corner of the map, making the campaign for the far western and eastern factions feel much less cornered.

Basic map showing how Russia and Africa were very much a part of the Eastern trade routes:

Can someone post the 3.0 map? I can't find it in any of the threads.

It's here >>> http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...-0-Pre-Preview!

Wow. All of the stuff on that page looks fantastic!

Quick question. Is the work that's been completed so far available? Or has it been lost with the absence of some of the team members.

That old preview thread is no longer valid. Our new map is much better, actually.

Is there gonna be a sneak peak of the map

[wudang_clown]

It is very possible.

[Rampante-Cid]

Hi Wudang! I have a question: In this next version of the mod we will see more factions in the lands of Iran? Because in the previous versions this was almost empty of factions .

[Stath's]

@wudang, do you still work on BC or have you stopped?

Possibly. I'm not sure right know. I have to get back on track after a long break.

@wudang, do you still work on BC or have you stopped?

Well, I stopped for some time, yes. but now I'm back.

[Mappo]

Well, I stopped for some time, yes. but now I'm back.

A very good news

[baradona]

I am glad you're back

[nein]

Looks like things are back on track, good luck for the next release

[Stath's]

Yes!!!!!
