Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

Will ERE have the same outdated army like in BC 1.0? I mean by the time the game is set, Byzantines had a new model army, called manuelian army with new units and more performant.

Actually, take a look at these two images. One has an interpretation of the Imperial infantry - officer(as given the chestband of rank), standard rank/file, and menavlatoi skirmish infantry. The other, as you can see from the notes on the image, depict a sort of evolution of the Varangian axeguards from the 11th to 13th century. It's consistent with evidence presented in the research of Timothy Dawson's 'Kremasmata, Kabbadion, Klibanion: Some Aspects of Middle Byzantine Military Equipment Reconsidered'(1998).

Should these files upload correctly, then the 3rd image should show in-game what the Pelekyphoroi looks like in 1.0. I'd say the skins are in accord with what evidence revealed. They are not "outdated", but the newly modeled army of the Komnenians.

Also, it was mentioned in the tips of BC of what range they wanted to cover regarding the military of the ERE.
" Broken Crescent has chosen to depict the Eastern Roman Empire's military with an earlier bend, reflective of their Pre-1204 AD armies particularly of the 1000-1190 AD Era."
((in other words, after 1204(in the game), should the ERE player rebuild, I dont see a reason why the Komenian army's 'template' wouldn't have continued. There were various advances made during that time.))

Alexius' elite core would have been armored in the way that survived the upheavel and civil war of the later 11th century (ie Kataphraktoi). By Manuel's death, guard units and 'standard grade' troops such as the Varangian Guard and Skoutatoi would be refitted thanks to the rebuilt economy, allowing en masse production of lamellar. Units such as the Menavlatoi were resurrected, also due to the financial strength recovered. What I found interesting was that the Hosaroii had the felt hats and turbans that was mentioned in the manual of Nikephoros. Kudos there.

For the moment, I play Empire TW but I'm sure I will play MTW II again when BC 1.5 will be out.

Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

I guess we won't see the Kievan Rus' in BC afterall? Beside that - nice preview!

 

[Commander Ruunu]

Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

You got to have faith Recon, that 2.0 will come out someday..

we might, if BC team allows mini-mods

 

[Emperor of The Great Unknown]

Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

well sence the BC team after this is no more they proably will let us have mini mods.

 

[Recon]

Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

BC has it's very own style and throwing in a Kievan Rus faction not created by the BC team I'm sure will just look out of place. Quality work is what I'm going for and that is BC not surprisingly! Really hoped we had seen a BC version of this faction before they all retired. We were more or less promised! (well that's how I remember it!)

 

[Commander Ruunu]

Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

I think that they haven't said that they will retire. If work continues with mod, i would be even happy with the speed of things right now.

 

[Blaze86420]

Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

first of all, this is an amazing mod and this version is going to be even better!
but iv got a couple of questions:
-are all the units reworked?
-do i need to uninstall broken crescent 1.1 before installing this one?

 

[Strelac]

Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

The 1.5 will be stand alone patch. You will need to remove the previous versions of BC.

There have been some reworks of units, including the new units, but most units will be as they have been. I guess you'll see the difference.

 

[Blaze86420]

Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

thanks for the reply, cant wait to try it out!

 

[Halvar von Flake]

Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

Great preview!

Question: Is there a permanent arrow patch for BC1.0 available...?

 

[Strelac]

Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

I assume you speak about arrows not disappearing?

If someone has created it for other mods, you can use the same file.

 

[sumskilz]

Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

I think your Photobucket account is too full, cause all your preview pics are gone.

 

[Strelac]

Re: Broken Crescent 1.5 Preview

Sry...I just cant make myself to switch it to different hosting site...I'll try to do it over the weekend. thanks for the hint though.

Thanks for reply! I solved the problem...

EDIT: Will there be fire at the gates in BC1.5...and siege machines for Jerusalem...?
