AliAS was never in the team, Tsar dissapeared like once again, Magyar Templar was slow worker, so we don't need him. He did nothing.

Hi all members of Tsardom!
I d like to make some comments on this mod-if they r welcomed its ok :)

There are some parameters that make me quiet pessimistic about it..although it looks like a brilliant idea.

First-The name.

I dont think it represents the whole game..since among the nations of the game there r only 2 tsardoms!-I was always skipping the mod cause i thought it was about Russian post 13th cent tsardoms!

2nd - The starting date.

I think 1345 is too late for Balcans.
Remember-1360 Turks pass in...1389 Kossovo Battle...and then semi-dead balcanic states struggling for survival till 1453-1480.
That makes some 40 years of balance...and 100 years of life for the mod.

It would be much more interesting if it started in 1204,or 1260(Constantinople recaptured by Byzantines)
More Powerful Latins,Strong Bulgarians,Serbs emerging (since 1200 growing stronger) and so on.

This would make it more interesting both for West Europeans and Greeks/Turks.
Now it looks like a Serb-focused mod only.

why 1345 ?
now goal of this mod is to represent late era. every time when i play campaign i become bored or finish game or political situation is totally changed (Milan conquers France, Byzantines destroys Turks or something like that) before i reach high era. so i lost interest in playing any more.

why "Tsardom" ?
because goal is to make empire and become Tsar - emperor. now it wouldn't be totally original to call mod a Empire: TW. Right ?
The old Byzantine empire is collapsing and looking for a successor.

the goal of this mod :
conquer Constantinople, and conquer Balkans, defeat the Ottoman invasion (well not if you are playing the Ottomans). you see this mod is a lot about the Ottoman invasion and wars caused by it. Defeating the Ottomans will really be a chalenge.

"Serbian mod"
Well I'm a co-leader and I'm from Croatia. so your conclusion is not correct.
And all playable factions (8 of them) will get equal treatment.
Playable factions: Bosnia, Bulgaria, Byzantine empire, Hungary, Serbia, Venice, Wallachia, Hospitallers. In later stages of the mod there will even more playable factions.

Too short?
not. one year = 4 turns

[Digenis]

Are there any screenshots done till now?
Faction previous?
Faction list?

I would insist in starting date...at least 1280/1300 when Ottomans appear,but its your choice after all.

[matko]

preview will be (very) soon.
and i forget to say that Ottomans will be playable too.

we are fans of more detailed approach, not generalizations. so we are for shorter period that will enable us more details.

[Zenith Darksea]

Hear hear! I've always been advocating greater focus for mods. I'm looking forward to this one.

[Milos98]

Well, we are working at full speed ; )

[Gazi Husrev-Beg]

I think he is

[Milos98]

Yes, I think he is Ilyrian, slavs bothered him from east and west, so he moved to norway. He is bothered by Vikings from all sides now.

well actually preview is done. we are just double checking the grammar and spelling . ( so we don't look stupid if there is some grammar mistakes ).

[Gazi Husrev-Beg]

Ahh cool :)

[matko]

FIRST PREVIEW IS OUT !!!
check the preview thread

[Sarmatian]

Not so much activity here, so I just wanted to mention that we are working on a second preview... So stay tuned, it's gonna happen soon...

[gareth3]

I have a few ideas.

Well since we have italy in the game and catholic factions, how about bringing in excommunications? They were far more dangerous in reality than what vanilla shows. Excommunications allowed general and goveners to legally break away from their lord. I read that you guys are planning on bringing back the rebellions of MTW1 so this would be another way for it to happen.

And one thing thats been driving me crazy since I got MTW2 is you dont have a say in who is the faction heir ! It wasn't the eldest son and then his son or brother every time, even he was alive. When William the 2nd(better known as Rufus) died, his youngest brother Henry, not his elder brother Robert(Rufus was William's 3rd son and Robert was the eldest). Now I love historical accuracy in games and mods, but England is proof it wasn't always the first son.

[gareth3]

Uh, Is this mod still around? There hasn't been anyone on for a while and I'm starting to wonder whats going on with this mod?

[Tsar]

It's a bit slow but we are here!
