Thanks to repeated help from admin, I have now managed to upload my Arthur mod. My thanks go out to all regular org contributors , as I have drawn heavily on their work. I have "borrowed" much of the artwork from other mods as my graphics skills are cr**.
I would like to thank and credit them all but cannot remember whose mods I "borrowed" from. Some I can remember

HTW. some 3D graphics
the Lords for their patrician buildings,
pats pagan resources.
All of Duke John and wellingtons work that has been so illuminating.

The mod is based on the Arthurian legend as portrayed by Bernard Cornwell in his Arthurian trilogy. (A truly great read) It uses historical "dark age" troop types rather than the fantasy middle age stuff normally portrayed. I have changed the Brit map and factions, added pagan emmisaries and added some of the heroes from the Arthurian legends. It is more about survival than empire building but I have had fun playing it. (particularly as powys or gwent where desperation is a constant game factor.)
I would very much appreciate feed back on the mod as I am still play testing and balancing and looking for more 3D graphics . (In particular late roman auxiliary units etc.)
Its a self install. Just install directly on a clean VI installation.
the mod is available here.

ok an infopicerror has been reported already when playing the Saxons.
It can be solved like this

open campmap/infopics
you will see a file called keelboat
rename it keelboat.bif
that solves the infopic problem.

now goto loc/eng and open the file descriptions.txt
goto edit search
look for
["keelboat_desc"]

change the K to a capital K
ie
["Keelboat_desc"]

now save the file and all should be well.

sorry folks
