    Default Cesare Borgia: A Restored Rome Timeline. Also Hello!

    Hello. My name is Josh, and I've been a lurker on this forum for a while now, maybe saying something on the Byzantine threads, then disappear. I have been recently working on the AlternateHistoryDiscussion forum and I created the thread:

    Cesare Borgia: A Restored Rome Timeline

    It involves the famous Borgia popes, the dying embers of the Byzantines, political intrigue, Renaissance warfare, great battles, and awesome quotes.

    However, it recently occured to me that I was running low on images to supply to visualise the events with pictures, as they were few and far between, often not very accurate to the time period, and I can't just show maps! So I had a brainwave:

    I'm now using this mod, with its late units in Italian factions (Venice and Sicily) to recreate the events in my timeline, using my beefy computer to take high quality images of the events in the timeline recreated in Total War Attila. Several things.

    1. I hope its ok to do this

    2. What does everyone think?

    Link to the timeline thread and It's about between parts 2 and 3 I start using Attila:

    Thanks for Reading!

    It's about how Cesare Borgia/Borgia Dynasty is trying to restore the Roman Empire from within Renaissance Italy.

    Could I also ask about when the Ottomans could be a playable nation? Or atleast, a Turkish nation with guns. I plan to start using the Ottomans within this, and tt'd help a lot if I could get some information.

    Sure. The mod is open source, so you can take what pictures you like.

    If Ottoman is the question, then hessam is the answer - the guy currently bleeding and sweating in Warman's basement working on the late Seljuks.

    From what I've gathered, the next update is likely to feature more than custom battle alone. No date available I'm afraid.

    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

    No, the next update is planned to release with campaign, with no current date for release. If there was a release without campaign, that means people are getting an interim patch, so just candy.

    The ottomans will not be playable. The sultanate of rum will have however late era units using ottoman gear. No ETA on when they will be ready, but a team member is already working on them

    It's slightly after our period, but still within reason. It looks interesting. If you want to turn it up another notch, I would recommend you to download a camera mod to capture your pictures from any desirable angle. Also, check out the maps from the Workshop while you're at it to spice up the background. Barbarian Forest map is a personal favorite, the forest is quite 'misty'. Test out fighting at night, with the moonlight, some gunpowder or cannons to give the images some contrast between light and darkness. I bet you can get some pretty epic shots.

    I will! Thanks very much. I'm trying to use it, as no other timeline as such has gained lots of popularity from it. Anyway, I shall have a look at these maps! They sound great!

    So since this is a latter time frame, I know you wouldn't be doing entirely new rosters, but would you be doing SOME custom units? I know there are some mount and blade mods with some really nice renaissance armors, but you would have to ask permission to use a lot of them.

    Default Re: Cesare Borgia: A Restored Rome Timeline. Also Hello!

    If you are referring to me, I cannot make these units. I hope they continue this, and make some Renaissance Units! But that's after they've done this. Maybe make a Renaissance expansion pack.

    Nah, it's already difficult working with three centuries worth of material. This project already takes forever to make from how many factions we have to create units for. This and we're making siege equipment, cities, and naval units.

    I can appreciate that. Don't worry.
