This is pure racism towards Russians.The guy did so much and he get such treatment?

No, it's not. If it were racism "towards Russians" (which isn't a race...) then they'd allow languages such as French and German here but not Russian. That isn't the case.

It's not about how much Artstudio has done and how he "gets such treatment". That's irrelevant. It's just that the rules state these forums are English.

Ignoring the validity or lack thereof of a uni-language rule, let's not get carried away with these frankly awful accusations of racism.

Can the AI manage this?

I noticed there are several units on the walls. I wonder how that works. I suddenly got very curious.

Its really not walls, just a place for the units to stand on. But not "in game" walls.

Guys it was only two posts. While I do sympathize with Artstudio cause he really doesn't know much English, it does go against the ToS to speak ENTIRELY in another language only. There is a simple workaround, speak a sentence in English and the rest can be Russian. I'd prefer it being the same message in both languages though, if only for ease of conversation. And it really isn't racism, this is just the first time this problem has come up on our sub-forum, it has nothing to do with race.

Wishing to see medieval naval battles too!!!

Will there be unique settlements for some cities? I suppose the list would consist of:

Paris
London
Frankfurt
Baghdad
Warsaw
Constantinople
Jerusalem
Belgrade
Bucharest
Tunis
Edinburgh
Dublin (?)
Cairo
Alexandria
Rome
Venice
Naples
Palermo

I would much rather have these later on considering these would make the release of a full campaign even more delayed.

I have reverse-engineered the file formats responsible for assigning and importing new battle maps (without needing to replace existing ones), and so being that I am a MK team member now I'd expect to see this at some point.

The main bottleneck there is we'd still need people to actually create the battle maps, which is certainly easier said than done.

Congratulations dudes!!! You should be hired by CA

[saqartvelo55]

please make map of Tbilisi the Georgian capital thanks

[Heisenburrg]

Would add to the custom cities suggestions;
Kiev, Krakow, Prague, Aarhus/Roskilde (Roskilde was Danmarks capital), Toledo/Cordoba/Barcelona, Lissabon, Damaskus

Would remove from the suggestions
Warsaw (because its not on the map and Krakow was the "capital"), Bucharest (because it´s not on the map), Palermo (because it´s not on the map), Edinburgh, Naples and Dublin (not so important in this time and because it would be too much), Alexandria (Cairo was more important)

So my complete suggestion list would be;
Paris
London
Frankfurt
Constantinople
Jerusalem
Tunis (?)
Cairo
Damaskus
Bagdhad/Mekka
Rome
Venice
Kiev
Krakow
Prague
Belgrade (?)
Aarhus/Roskilde (?, but there should be at least one city in the north)
Toledo/Cordoba/Barcelona
Lissabon (?)

Holy city of the Mashad al-Ridha, martyrdom of al-ridha (arbarshahr in the campaign). Large, and important. And beautiful.
I'm not shure if Nishapur should be the abarshahr city instead, I think it might have been the most important western trade city (in Khorasan that is) in the early 1200s.

Was Merv still one of the world's largest cities? It's a unique, if minor town on the map.

In central Iran, Esfahan is a good candidate. Though for the later periods probably, as far as I know it didn't far so well during the Mongol conquests or even since the end of the great Arab dynasties. It's great mosque is Safavid I believe, at least the present mosque(s) (the entire complex has several praying places).

Erbil with it's famous (though hardly unique in the upper mesopotamia region) citadel.

Another famous muslim (Shia) city of domes and mosques is Karbala, wich would nicely replace al-hira on the map (in regards to the city's position, not the whole regions)

Anyhow do at least on Nishapur/Mashad. If the map went just a little further east there would be more afghan/sogdian cities to do.

Ok, besides the suggestions for unique cities I would like to ask whether there will be cultural/regional differences for cities and their appearance on campaign-and battlemap? (Although I´ve already seen a screenshot with a very rus-like city)

This regional differenciation in campaign-and battlemap would be nice;
1.Northern cities (all cities in the north of Stralsund, besides the british isles and balticum... made with much brickstone)
2.Central european cities (from British Isles down to the pyrenees and alps, from the Atlantic sea to Krakow in the east... with fold- and stone buildings)
3.Eastern european cities (in the east of Krakow, southern border could be at the level of Caffa... Orthodox-style buildings, much wood; like wooden walls or houses)
4.Mediteranean cities (all around the Mediteranean sea, Balkan inclusive, southern border; Cape of Gibraltar, eastern border; eventually region around Kayseri... Bright colours, clay bricks... You know, what I mean)
5.Islamic cities (southern map, from Marrakech via the Holy Land to the eastern map border... With ornaments, bright stone buildings, mosques, gardens...)

Thats too general, I would rather divide them into three groups 1) Persian (Khwaresm, Seljuks, and Zengids) 2) Arabian (Ayyubids, Abbasids, and the everyone in the Arabian peninsula) 3) North African (Almohads, and Hafsids).

I would also like to see
1) Ethiopian (Makuria, and Zagwe)
2) Steppe (Cumania, and Volga Bulgaria)
3) caucasus (Georgia, Alania, etc)
