[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Thanks boys http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif There will be alot of units, probably something in the lines of fifty. Its nearly there but i assure you its worth the wait.

[ShadesPanther]

That looks amazing http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif

Im looking forward to this http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
Also. Whats the difference between the two elmo factions

and what is the Ottoman Invasion? Is it the 3rd expansion pack? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I've added some new unit pictures BTW.

The Almoravids own Granada, Cordoba, Morocco and the Sahara. They can train different units also, like Andalusian Cavalry. I'll keep the rest secret for now. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/flirt.gif

The Ottoman Invasion is a future mod I'm working on. It uses Komninos' Greek map and places it into a Medieval context. Factions in that include Hospitallers, Bosnians, Moldavians and Athens to name a few. Its up and running but it needs a lot of tinkering before it's ready for release.

[ShadesPanther]

thats really good, cant wait for those surprises http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Oh the Ottoman Invasion will be good http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Maybe its something to do with the site's bandwidth? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif I notice it works fine for me and ShadesPanther, who've already been on the site today. Maybe you should try again tomorrow. I really hope you get to see it. I'll add more pics tonight.

[TenkiSoratoti]

Ah ok cool. Well I hope you have been looking into the Nap Mod http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Knight_Yellow]

http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I really don't know what the problem is. Maybe its something to do with your connection speed(?). What's everybody here who's accessed the site on? I'm on broadband and I just wandered if everyone else who accessed the site was on a similar high speed connection? That might explain it.

[Lord Of Storms]

HI BKB, I think the problem might be your data transfer alotment might be getting filled quickly with all the people trying to access your page, I have the same problem with my page, is yours a free site? if thats the case people who cant access the page should wait awhile then try again, I was able to access it the first time you had it up but it failed to load just now. LOS

[ShadesPanther]

im on a 56k and it works http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

also Tripod is a free site

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I think thats the problem LOS. I'll will be putting more pictures up a bit later.

[TenkiSoratoti]

I have 600k ADSL. I have tried using Netscape and Opera to access the site and all of them effectively give out the same message http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif . I really want to see this.

[ShadesPanther]

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I just don't know mate. I'm hopefully going to release a Beta of my mod by the end of next week, so for anyone who hasn't seen the site will have there chance to see what i've been up to. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[Lazul]

Not being that uppset over it but the swedish flag is wrong, it didnt exist at that time. The correct one would be "the Three Crowns" Three golden crowns on a blue flag. hope you change it Looks like a nice mod by the way http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Lazul i will be fixing that( sorry)and they will be taken out of early. I completely missed that http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif Thanks http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I've just posted new pictures. Go check them.....NOW http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I hope to release the Beta on Saturday. Fingers crossed http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Hamburglar]

Just curious....


Are you implementing any of the "Help the AI" changes that WesW used in his WesMod?

I think adding these would greatly help the mod.

He changed some sea zones to get rid of the AI "ship piles" and help them set up trade routes better. He also upped the priority of ships and such. Another improvement was the almost complete removal of peasants. Wes made it so you needed a Muster Field (from VI) to build peasants, and then he had it at a very very low priority.

I'm just mentioning these to put some ideas out there - I'll be downloading and playing your mod anyway.


One suggestion though: You might want to reduce the Unit Upkeep of "Royal Knight" type units. I can see a LOT of tiny factions getting destroyed economically by supporting all their Princes.

Also, maybe Ireland should start with a Shipbuilder? Ireland is a VERY poor province and I can see it being a VERY long time before they can build a Keep and a Shipbuilder and a Barque to be able to expand. The cost of their Royal Knights alone would cripple them.

Anyway, those are just my suggestions. Maybe instead of an Irish faction that would probably just die, you could add in the Khazars as a Jewish faction in Super Early. They already have their own Royal Knights

http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif


Anyway, the mod looks awesome - I'm just trying to pop out suggestions.

[Hamburglar]

Another thing:

Your new units look good, but those Croatian urban militia seem to have MASSIVE shields. Looks a little funky.



Edit: I've looked at the rest of these things.... The new units and factions look AWESOME. This mod is gonna be so sweet.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Hi Hamburglar,
I might reduce the size of the Croatian militia shields but i really like them and poor Croatia really need a good, strong infantry unit because Hungary and Venice go straight at them. But i've given Croatia and several other small factions such as Ireland and Norway more buildings, units and Ships so they can have chance.
I might have a look at the seas but i wouldn't expect anything like this in the Beta release but saying that Genoa, Sweden and The Almoravids seem to have grasped the power of naval might and use it very well.

Many factions i have added to very well especially the Cumans, Genoa and Bohemia for reasons you will see when you download the mod. Many old factions such as England and the HRE will be strengthed as well to have a chance
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[Lancer6969]

Saturday I will be here to download that. Are you gonna post it here on the org., or on your site, or both?

Lancer
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif

[Hamburglar]

I'm not saying to give the Croatians small shields - just in the graphics. I mean, a Feudal Sergeant has a "Large" shield in game terms but it doesn't look that big. Your Croatian dudes seem to have shields bigger than the pavise xbow guys have. Seems a little awkward but its your mod so your choice.

One important thing lots of people forget when making new factions is titles though...

Does each new faction have titles like "Grand Admiral" and "High Chancellor" or whatever that you can give out by building like the Admiralty and stuff?

[Lord Of Storms]

Nice progress BKB, I like the Scottish Pikemen and the banners for the teutonics is sweet, keep up the good work.
LOS http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I've got all the titles sorted out. I wanted to make a unit for each faction which is not only exclusive to them but also significantly different to others. Croatia had very western ideas compared to other Balkan states because of there close links with Hungary, but i still wanted a Balkan like unit for them with a large Slavic shield and they help counter the pressure they have from other nations. In fact they can go on the offensive especially against the HRE.

The Beta will just be super early either on saturday or sunday(the latter is more probably but it will definetly be then, no later.) http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[Hagbard la Suede]

Looks GREAT
Can't wait to play as the swedes,hurry and releasehttp://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

The Swedes will be in the next release for super High, sorry dude http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[ShadesPanther]

is it coming out this afternoon, evening or tomorrow?

just hope you can narrow it down http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Shades, i'm really going to try to release it tonight. If not it will be tomorrow evening. I promise http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[ShadesPanther]

ah ok http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif

[Hamburglar]

I notice you have the Sahara desert shaded in for a faction to own. The Almoravids? Anyway, did you make it so this province has income and can actually be accessed or was it just done to make the screenshot prettier?

[ShadesPanther]

that province is easy to do you just give a faction it as it is something like
// ID_Sahara

[NagatsukaShumi]

ID_AFRICA is the Sahara's code. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[ShadesPanther]

same difference

[Oaty]

Just looked at your website
WOW

http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wacko.gif

For some reason I really like those Croation Urban Militia: I only have 1 thought for those guys, cannon fodder for archers but for some reason I don't think they'll make good cannon fodder because they'll still be standing afterwards ..... oh well I guess I can just throw them into the cavalry to get rid of them http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif


that mod looks like its gonna be ......... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif

That mod looks way to good to ignore; my oppinion is if it is as good as the webpage looks you just outdid the viking invasion expansion.

Funny thing is I probably would have never checked it out if it were'nt for DukeDICK. After reading those posts and getting a good laugh out of his childisness brought me here to check this out

BTW have you thought of trying stick figures http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

[Fearless]

Great site and congratulations on all the effort you have put into your mod. My sons will love this when it's finally released. Keep up the good work

P.S. where do you guys find the time for all this work?
When I get home in the evening after being in front of a monitor all day I just close down..............Maybe it's my age http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I'm going to university next week http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif so i really wanted to get something out for the lads on the org http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Cousin Zoidfarb]

Bravo
Even got War Wagons
When will it be ready?
Think you can bring in more units from the Mongol invasion?

[TenkiSoratoti]

B**lecks, b**ger, cr*p, f**k. I still am unable to access your site 'The Bling King Of Bohemia'. I'm being singled out by the Internet God.

TP

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Beavis, i'm really sorry those wagons were there for show http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif sorry dude. But that does make a good point, which i'll look into for the full release. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
I've used up all the custom Bif folders so i can't bring anymore MI units over for the mod.

[ShadesPanther]

hmm that doesn't matter

I probably should be watching the football but my teams not playing tonight tho the Real Madrid match is good

[Yelping Godzilla]

Just thought I'd chip in and say that if you want any help with unit ideas, descriptions and so on I'd be happy to do some work.

Looking forward to playing your mod. I applaud the effort you've put in so far.

EEUURAAH.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I'm sorry guys but the mod will be released tomorrow. I've been adding more units and sorting a few things out with the mod and getting ready foe Uni. I'm really sorry about the delay. It will be ready TOMORROW I promise guys, i won't let you down http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif

Skip university and keep modding............You've got to get your proirities right. If you do decide to go I hope your subject is computer programming...............you'll walk it http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

Its Military History which should be fun http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Fearless]

Ok you should walk that aswell. Are there the jobs out there for military academics? and if there are I hope they pay well http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I hope so It goes from the 16th century to modern day which should be fun http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I am a computer Programming major right now, and I just finished my Java course. Anyway, CP doesn't really have anything to do with modding. Programming only has to do with actually making the game. My point is, anyone can mod, but you cant just pick up and start writing the C++ code that was used to build the game.

Modding is a lot easier than programming, trust me I know http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif I TRIED making a Turkish Mod, and I couldn't do it. Too tiring, and frustrating. Alot like programming, I guess that makes them similiar. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif
