    @nebaki
    this could take a while, maybe after new year, but since i have to work unfortunately and it is quiet stressful at the moment in RL, I'm not even sure on this.
    So you better grab some cookies and sit down to wait

    @wolf
    Have not thought about that, but thanks for the suggestion. I will see what I will do in the end.
    Yes and you may be right about the natives. 1491 as the Aztecs ivaded Spain...

    Could you also add Athens to byzantium? That city is ancient and influential and it would be a shame not to have it.

    I will write it on my list, and will see, if it fits

    @all
    you better grab a second bag of cookies. due to the aforementioned stress, i had to cancel my two weeks vaction where i planned to do some more work on bananas and enjoy a cosy christmas/ new years time.
    Hopefully I can escape the office, our client and some private stress very soon to make a bit of progress.

    Oh, and everyone have a happy new year

    And they all heard a voice from the grave, a creaking sound of an opening coffin. Frozen they all stared in the everstretching shadow of the room, as they heard an earie sound coming from afar.
    Then muffled steps on the stair, the Chichis are there...

    As I have now started my well earned vacation, and firstly doing 4 days nothing at all except watching a whole bunch of movies, making burgers and wear no trausers, I have picked up work on the Banana today. The inside is still mushy and glibbery, but now there are only two factions left to implement. The Norwegian Trolls and the Lithuanian Heathens (I hate implementing Lithuania, you are last).

    Don't rush it my young padawan.
    All I can say, have no fear, the Norwegians are here...

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 




    Lithuania here I come. But most likely not today.

    To give you a small roadmap what lies ahead:

    1. Implementing Lithuanian Units with much care
    1a. Implementing the Lithuanian conversion script
    2. Giving all the new factions access to buildings, implementing the Americas buildings
    3. Applying the recruitment pool of the new factions to the buildings recruitment pool
    4. Wonder what I did with my life and how i did get here
    5. Assigning starting positions, armies and generals to the new factions
    6. Filling every rebel settlement with rebels, and another one, and another one,....
    7. Probably releasing an early alpha built of the mod

    From then on its fine tuning, graphics, missing descriptions, missing whatever, customer feedback, and so on.

    I hate you Nebaki...

    Much to learn you have. And don't tell me that you have lost your lightsabre again...

    And good morning everybody. Lithuania rises

    Unfortunately I have reached the unit limit at the moment with implementing Lithuania, so for the moment, there will be no Teutonic Units, but as always, I will find a way to make room. This is just the beginning of the unit wars.

    @nebaki

    oh no, how could you. Han will be very mad...

    And for the Teutonic units - we will see, if I find a way to make some of them available.



    @all

    the last two factions (lithuania and jerusalem) are now implemented with their buildings.
    making the additional units for the old factions available for recruitment in campaign (greek firethrowers, etc) before or after the alpha is a decision i will mak soon.
    now there are some scripts left (lithuania, jerusalem), then i will populate the world with the new factions

    And I think the startdate of the mod will be 1099 shortly after the conquest of jerusalem.

    If (and thats a big IF) everything goes well, nothing comes in a way and my last week of vacation is relaxed, I might be able to throw a very early apha version on you.
    But I do not want to hear complaints, that it is a buggy mess and may crash constantly! It will be there for you to take a glimpse of whats coming.

    So, sit down and take a cookie...

    @nine

    then welcome to our cosy little place
    Oh someone that finally wants me to crack that 100 kg mark , but i will do as i am told...
    Thanks and good to see you having fun.


    @all

    yeah, after doing the building thing today i thought i might chill out a bit and do some recreational stuff. but somehow i went to town with many of the rebel settlements and implementing factions.
    So for today i call it quits, but here I have a little sugar for you. A small peek on the campaign map.

    Gather around the fire, the old man has a story to tell...

    I have added two new religions for the new world factions (Great Spirit & Sun God).
    All factions are now added to the campaign map (without balancing and fine tuning)
    I made two quick click-through campaigns until turn 50, with no crash.

    So, the last thing before the alpha is to edit the selction menus, so that every faction can be chosen. I always hate to find those little buggers (entries) in the file.

    If I get that done tomorrow, you may receive the alpha for download sometime tomorrow.
    Until that, take some more screens from the map 50 turns into the campaign.

    Cheers

    total bananas alpha release

    hello my little darlings,

    today is the day for everyone who is interested in the alpha#1 to dowload it.
    roughly one gigabyte
    http://www.mediafire.com/file/jd17kk...25231.zip/file

    To install it, unzip it, put it in your mods folder and use the provided bananas.bat in the banana folder to start the mod.


    What it does have:
    It features 31 factions of which 27 are playable.
    The full rosters are more or less implemented, as well as the buildings.
    The grand campaign map is merges with the americas map. A few additional settlements were added, where it made sense.
    I even could implement some of the teutonics order units into the hre roster.
    two new religions for the americas
    one new culture for the americas

    What it does not have or could happen by using the alpha:
    It is not bug tested, just a quick click through till turn 50
    There may be many placeholders, or not implemented stuff (textwise and graphics wise)
    The settlements for the new world could be messy and buggy or not implemented at all
    the new world has no ressources yet
    every faction start of the new factions is very unbalanced
    no balancing for the availability of the new units
    i might have forgotten to make ported units recruitable in the buildings
    the start date is not right yet
    lithuanian conversion script is there, but now feels a bit to early
    random ctd might appear frequently
    the sound for the new factions is completely botched, i think everybody talks now like an englishman, music is not ported as of yet
    the southern part of america is not to be discovered, looks a bit botched
    traits and shiny thingies are not yet ported and this is the hardest part to not mess up, as there is only a ctd and no hint why, when something is wrong
    some of the ressource symbols are off
    some settlements might be botched (maybe krak des chevalier)
    and many, many other things

    What can I do to help?

    If you want to help, which is very nice of you, you can do this, by posting bugs you find (please look above for the things that i am aware of, so you do not have to post them)
    But if you run into a ctd, you can post the last few lines of the system log, and describe what happened. This helps me to find things.
    If you see missing units from the roster, or not recruitable ones, that should be recruitable from a building you can post that. (Be aware, that jerusalem, the teutonic order units and some special units from byzantine, egypt and the turks underlie a special recruitment system. Turks must hold Bagdad, Egypt must hold Cairo, Byzantium must hold Constantinople, Jerusalem must hold all 4 crusader states (Antioch, Tripoli, Jerusalem, Edessa and Krak), HRE must hold Riga and Marienburg to get access to the complete roster of those factions.
    Or any other unusual bug you run into.
    Thank you.

    So, I will now get some pizza...
    Have fun.

    mhh, strange.

    i just tried jerusalem and the turks and they started up fine. Maybe something happend while unzipping or while I have zipped the file. try unzipping and "installing again" if it prevails I miaght upload an uncrompressed folder and you can try that.

    Saracen voice is a base game thing, i will write it on my list and see if i change it

    And the last one is an easy fix, happened, because I am lazy and copied most of the needed files into one another, thats also why the symbols for the resources are wrong.
