Don't worry, Sis will be upgraded before 2.0 is out

[EDIT]
I just reskinned the Vlastela units, they now have a white tunic with red trim.

Great stuff!!! Can't wait!

Only one, tiny, miniscule, thing. For the Armenian king of Cilicia, you have made the title "Arkah". Arkah was the title of the kings of Greater Armenia (Armenia proper), but when the monarchy was "transferred" to Cilicia, the title changed to "Takavor" which literally means, crown-bearer.

Thanks , what about the Prince? I made it Ishkan?

[Drtad]

For the Crown Prince, it should be Avag Sepuh, Ishkhan is just any prince, not very specific.

The Serbian banner doesn't look too healthy...
Ignoring this, though, that is a chocolate preview...

it's supposed to look like that. That is the oldest flag of the Serbian Empire:

I have no clue what "chocolate preview" is, but this looks good!

[iudas]

Yeah, well, the symbol isn't aesthetically pleasing. I somehow managed to make a symbol from a raped bird (Wallachia's), so I guess it's possible here...

Yay, my 500th post is useless!

It's the only one I could find with a color pattern I could work with. All the others looked too much like Poland.

Is it just for the 1.2 patch, or will it work with 1.1?

I think I will be able to get it to work with both.

The image itself is incomplete. For example, in the Serbian campaign pic, it doesn't have that glow that the other symbols have...

I don't think I had the unit selected at the time, so it wouldn't be glowing and bobbing. That kind of bugs me.

tx for the preview....you are great!!!

[SicilianVespers]

I have some great news, The Sicilian Vespers 2.0 (for the 1.02 patch) will be completely self contained in the SicilianVepsers folder! no more modded files in the main data folder

This should get rid of all the noob issues

great news! I'm glad to hear that

wanna take the chance to just say thank you for your hard work and all the effort you put in your mod! i played several of the bigger mods out there and i can tell you, yours the only one which has cost me not an only CTD - so imo SV is not only the best, it is even the most stable mod i'm knowing. my wife and me are enjoing your work for some 80 turns now and we both are very pleased with it. i only made some adjustments to the artillery units on the strat_pri values (which are in meeles way toooooo much strong - i lost two feudal knights units for killing one ballista unit ...); made the gunpowder units available, lowerded some values of the Border Horse and implemented the Xenophonia mode which is really a great addition to SV (and for other mods as well of course).

the only thing we both are hardly missing are the Flandres and the Burgundians. but we know, we can't get it all if we wan't to mod for ourself and your focus atm is on the east of the map (i can understand that, cause SV is not only a european mode - unfortunately)

one remainign question: would it be possible to implement the English redressed mode 1.1 in SV? the graphics are phanomenal!
sorry, I can't find a link atm

so this are our two ... hmm maybe 10 cents and thanks again and hold on!

Thanks, it is encouraging to hear feedback like this

regarding the english redressed, I will look into it. Perhaps we can use part of it. Using Burrek's non-nobles (sergeants etc.) with the redressed textures fo rthe nobles.

I still haven't had a chance to try Xenophonia, but I have been meaning to. Maybe in the future.

Just in case, here is the link to "English Redressed"
