[King Ragnar]

Nice, the Knights cold do with a bit of work around the waist and legs but the rest look pritty cool.

[al'Callaendor]

nice, but I prefer the caius britannicus mod!

[KonstantinosXI]

i need one historical researcher..anyone interested?

[Myrddraal]

Why don't you talk to Caius, maybe you could merge your projects?

[al'Callaendor]

Why don't you talk to Caius, maybe you could merge your projects?

no, no, no... I say :War!!!War!!!WARR!!!

[shifty157]

no, no, no... I say :War!!!War!!!WARR!!!

Whoa. Chill out bud. Take it easy.


Youre getting better as you go KonstantinosXI. With a bit more practice you could get pretty good.

[al'Callaendor]

it is just a joke...

[al'Callaendor]

a simple joke.

[KonstantinosXI]

I know that i have to do more practice..but i start to mod in september..these are my first units....

To the Holy Land...for Crusades: Total War
This looks like a cool mod in itself. The Crusades are the biggest war (not numbers but importance) in world history. It shaped the world's politics, economy, militaries, and culture.

Two sides united under God (Christianity and Islam)
The Alliance of the West and Byzantium
The Turkish cavalry
The massacres at Antioch and Jerusalem
The Templars and Hospitalers
Saladin's victory at Hatin over King Guy (not the smartest king)
Saladin vs Richard the Lionheart
'Peace' after 200 years

It's big enough for one mod. Count me in!
PS - I'm a history buff and I'd like to help with this mod in the making. If you need a historian for research, I'm the man for the job.

[KonstantinosXI]

Ok..thank you for the help!!!!
could you give me some factions lists?
for example egyptian one and turkish one?

[Pompei the Great]

I'll make a list of Crusaders and Moslem warriors within a few days.
Here are a few:
Janissaries (light Turkish cavalry and infantry)
Mamelukes (medium Egyptian camel warriors and infantry)
Bedouins (light camel warriors)
Saracen Light Cavalry (I don't have the proper name yet)
Saracen horse archers (same)
Templar Knights (with chanting ability)
Hospitallers (heavy cavalry)
Saracen cavalry (heavy cavalry)
Frankish chargers (heavy cavalry)
Composite bowmen
Frankish crossbows
Men-at-arms w/knight as an officer (cavalry and infantry)
Naukia but it's spelled wrong (Muslim archers with huge range)
Monks (chant / no weapons)
Peasant crusaders (light infantry)
Sejulks (light cavalry and light infantry)
Relic bearers (like first cohort w/the eagle for both sides mainly Christian)

[KonstantinosXI]

Hospitaller Knights

[Pompei the Great]

I can script, too. Anyway, I have made some speeches and intros for the mod. If you want them, e-mail me.

[Ilsamir Lord]

This is looking nice! I like the winged helmets, but are they historical? They seem a little overly flamboyant.

[GrimSta]

Surprisingly yes, the helmets are but they do look overly flamboyent as you said...but thats just Knights for you.....

[KonstantinosXI]

Very good POMEPEI..do you have MSN messenger? if yes my contact is dragases@hotmail.it

[Narayanese]

Sweet

IMHO you should look up some other heraldric for that teutonic knigth, the black and yellow cross is early 15th century (I think), and the twoheaded eagle is from after around year 1400.

[Pompei the Great]

Shhh, don't tell and we won't have to change...

[Pompei the Great]

Okay, but what about the Crusader Armies from France, England, and the Holy Roman Empire. Also, Saracen Syria needs to be added and the Italian City-States aren't as key as the idea of Italy itself. (Remember the Greek Cities, not Spartan faction, Corinthian faction...) To be honest, the faction should be done after the units because the units sculpt the faction. I'll get to work on those units now, but what about the units that I suggested? what's your e-mail address?

[KonstantinosXI]

my email address is dragases@hotmail.it. The crusaders units of europe will be only for the Kingom of Jerusalem...and i think that if we'll have time and wish we will insert also italian city-states...

[Pompei the Great]

I sent you some things for the mod. Send me some of your stuff, please.
Anyone else want to join?

[Pompei the Great]

Ooops, I missed that one.
