I hope you do not mind, but I advised another modder to contact you, since I realized that the two of you are basically crafting an identical scenario;

[Aneirin]

Thank's a lot, but I am afraid I won't have any time
But he's project looks very promising!

Hi,Neadal!
I wonder whether the script Zengidov United Arab Emirates, Damascus and other Ayyubid Egypt in 1174?

[Aneirin]

Well, when I have the time to carry on with this project, I will probably write such a script

[babay11]

Very good thanks!

[Aneirin]

Well, I have finished the Templar Knights, so there are only Seljuks, Teutonic Order and several "special" units remaining.
I guess I will finish the units in two weeks.
Then k/t will do the balancing and then you will have your beta

Cheers,
Ned

[Ser Gareth]

The latest preview looks great!

[Aneirin]

Thank's mate!

I am glad to tell you that k\t is about to begin with his work on the unit balancing, so hopefully I can provide you the beta soon

[IBSXYPNTS]

Looks awesome cant wait to try it out!

[Aneirin]

Thank's for your interest!

We had some trouble with the installation, but now it is solved.
I hope, I could present you the beta before Christmas

[Linke]

Nice to hear of the smooth work

[Ashton]

I wanted to suggest, if it is possible to add the Principality of Galilee or the lordship of Outerjordain as independent factions(since they enjoyed a big measure of autonomy by not being part of the royal domains, and even had <sub>vassals of their own). Maybe lordship of Sidon, too. They will be of course bound to the kingdom of Jerusalem by alliance

[Aneirin]

Thank you for your suggestion!
But I fear we have come to the point that all these Lordships (like Galilee, Oultrejordain, Sidon, Hebron, etc), will be represented by Ancs.
In our point of few, they have never acted independently enough to represent them as "own" faction.
Anyway, due our new (currently still in development) recruiting system, which is based on the lord's title, they'll be fairly represented as a kind of a independent lord.
So no worries!

[Ashton]

Maybe this map could be of help to you

[Aneirin]

Many thanks!
The map is actually finished, yet the resources are not placed properly.
But that will be fixed with the full version.

[ForGondor 68]

Ashton to give you my personal opinions like Neadal say, the frankish lordships were not independant and they never act separatly from the KoJ, only a few raids on muslims land at best. Muslims secondary states , like Shayzar emirate, deserve to figure as secondary factions.
I also think that the KoJ will get a difficult game fighting Fatimid, Burid and Zengid states if you remove the greatest lordship of the realm they'll not have sufficient power to fight one of them. Remeber that the KoJ often, fight Zengid with the other latin states military forces. It'll be difficult enough to do that I think with MTW2 diplomacy no need to make the game impossible to play for christians.
The only solution is to get all the great lordship vassals of their king but MTW2 can not permit to get enough states because you'll be forced to put:
-Aleppo
-Damascus
-Fatimid
-Antioch
-Cilicia
-Byzantium
-Rum Seljuk
-Crusaders
-Cypyus
-KoJ
-Tripoli
-Antioch
-Edessa
-Shayzar
-Assassin's
-Homs
-Hama
-Baalbek
-Bosra (or Bostra)
-Galilea
-the prinipality of Kerak and Montreal
-The templars
-The Hospital
...
the list is very long and we can't include more than 20 or 21 faction including rebels

EDIT: this is 31 including rebels

[k/t]

It's 30 factions plus rebels.

[ForGondor 68]

Thanks, well even with 30 it'll be difficult to make something historical and playable, but make a lordship independant on KoJ and not make it in other states would be irrealistic and would make some problem of playability.

[Stevothree]

KOJ has no mercenaries. Cant even add any cause the settlements of koj arnt in the mercenaries strat file. Also the traits and most of the mod isnt translated, is it just my installation? Also can you add the offices and settlement title ancillaries? Disregard this if these issues were brought up alredy!

But great job so far! Mod is coming along fantastically!

[Aneirin]

That is because I haven't tend to the mercenaries in general
I'll still have to create the units.

Really?
The translation should work, at least I thought that..
Did you use the version for which you have to copy the txt files or did you have the current one from the download thread?

Of course I will add a huge bunch of ancs and traits when I carry on with the work!

Glad you like it and thank's for your feedback.
