I dont think England should have acess to early period crossbow units, I would like to see them have a milita longbow unit which should only be recruitable in Wales to begin with. If that is possible.

This is just a general outline, not the specific on faction by faction...yet.

The longbow will probably be a milita/regional in the early era, then will become a main unit in the high era. Using events/resources, we have ALOT of leway on what we can do unit wise. We can instroduce events, such as the marius reforms in RTW that can totally change a factions available units. As for crossbows, the English wont get access to any CB units, except through mercenaries and maybe regionals. They saw it as unnoble....unlike the rest of Europe lol

Excellent, If you want any help changing things Ill happily give it a shot, although I have never done MTW mods before.

Only going for two Era's or the standard three from MTW1? Early, Late and High?

[Kushan]

Going to have 3 eras. but they wont coincide historically with the eras. If they did we would have to start the game in ~500AD and go to 1500, and thats just way to many turns. The eras will coincide with major events, each will last ~200-300 years. For this version I looking at a simple generic units list, with a few uniques, from there I will be going faction by faction (in later version) and redoing the list on a faction basis. I haven't decided exactly what events are going to change eras, there will probably be alot of smaller events that will add/remove units, instead of one big events.

I should have the NE units done today or tomorrow, including the Spanish.

Hello,

Can you please consider adding burrek's "Unique pattern designs for each nation"? I am now adding this to your mod as I think it greatly improves the early skins.

[Shaun]

Great that you are adding new units, but cities should have access to professional units such as Pikemen, arounred pikemen, and halberdiers. And where are gunners?

[Shaun]

Erm, why have you removed the unit list?

[Kushan]

I'm not gonna be uploading at the moment because its in a very confusing spreadsheet.

I'll upload the spreadsheet when I'm done.

I will be continually updating this post with information on v2.0. If anyone has any suggestions, comments, etc please post them here.

Start: 1087
End: 1520

I've finished the Northern European and Spanish unit list, although I still may make a few minor changes. I'm not gonna be uploading at the moment because its in a very confusing spreadsheet.

Eras are have been reimplemented to a point there, but not in the 3 that previously existed. Instead of 3 eras, I will be using events to unlock units as the historically appeared.

I should have the rest of the units finished tomorrow. Am kind of stalling for AD v0.9.2 :p

Kushan

Update 1 (010306): Updated post to include high era units.
Update 2 (010706): Updated units.

good to hear...can't wait for it . Did you include burreks mod for the units?

[Kushan]

Yes, Burreks mod will be included in v2.0.

It seems you have mostly dealt with bugs,tech support and helping users sort them out.
I just wanted to say I have been playing v1.1a for the past two weeks as the Scilians and have really enjoyed your mod the AD map and extra regions reflects the period well.I have a campaign with DLV...HRE ongoing as well but now prefer your mod over it.I have found RofK excellent and very historically accurate...I am very eager to try v2.0 and understand your hold out for v09.2 AD.
So my thanks for all your great work ...despite a rocky start you have a excellent mod going.

Thanks Germanicus

As for v2.0, I've updated the first post again, with some generalized unit info. v2.0 will probably have a lot less units the vanilla, just because CA followed the tradition tech tree style game play, which isn't exactly historically accurate. Units will be generic by region so to speak. For v2.1, I'll go through faction by faction and narrow down the list a bit more accurately.

Hello again,

Have you evaluated mongolwarrior's Realistic Building Tree mod? It appears to be a decent idea and shouldn't be hard to merge.

Also, Ultimate AI Mod is now up to version 1.0 and appears to have added some good updates. If I can't wait for your next release =o) how easy would it be to update your included Ultimate AI Mod 0.7 to version 1.0?

Regards,

DF

Rise of Kings+UAI 1.0 = Total Awesomeness! Congrats to you Kushan for RoK!
Oh, and I find the altered names of factions fine!

[Kushan]

So I've decided to work a new patch while I'm waiting for AD v0.9.2. It should be up in a few hours.. Its focus is only to update a few of the included mods.

The v1.2 Patch will:
- Updated Darth Mod to v1.2 with Darth Mod Open Source 01-12-07
- Updated Ultimate AI to v1.0
- Updated Titles, Civil War, Princesses, Privy Council to v1.7
- Updated Orientis's Vices and Virtues to v1.2

If AD doesn't come out within the next few days, I'll use AD v0.9.1 as the base for this version.

Kushan

[DrIstvaan]

Awesome! But... I suppose it isn't compatible with saves (Titles, Civil War... itself isn't), is it?

[Kushan]

Haven't tested it, but I would say no (AI changes, etc).
