Fantastic BKB nice work

Your SuperEarly Mod was very nice and i love play it.

You said the Portuguese are one of several new playable factions, right?
do you creat any special Portuguese unit?

The Portuguese armys in the middle ages were like the other iberic kingdoms - ginetes, javelinmen, Almughavars, Feudal Man-At-Arms, Feudal Knights and so on...
and as far as i know there wasn't any Portuguese special unit during middle ages, except two military orders - The Knights Of Avis (created in 1175) and The Knights Of Christ (created in 1312). These knights were very similar to knights Santiago, Templar, Hospitaller or Teutonic. For example, The Knights Of Avis were created to defend the province of Alentejo and the city of Évora from the Almohads.

good work

All Right good news, BKB http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif

I don't want to disturb you, but if you need any help with the Portuguese faction - names, Kings, princeses, nobles, heroes, etc, please let me know

good work http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/bigthumb.gif

Exactly I was a bit numbed the first time I saw some of the new units you created, specially a unit called Portuguese Marine??? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...c-confused.gif

BTW, some of the Portuguese names are incorrect. Some are Brasilian not Portuguese. If you want, I can send you a correct version of the Names text and another of the Heroes text, refering to the Portuguese.

But, the fact that you've put so many factions playing is fantastic

Again, great work http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...-2thumbsup.gif

Yeh the portugeuse marines will be taken out becausei didn't make them very well. Do any of you Portugeuse lads know any good infantry units i could give them?
02-09-2004, 00:59
King_Of_Portugal

Well... like i said before, there are no specific Portuguese units in the middle ages.
However, the Portuguese Kings and feudal lords armys, used infantry units (long sword, heavy shield and armored) - like swabian swordsmen, feudal man-at-arms, feudal foot knights or gallowglasses; if you creat a "Portuguese Swordsmen" or "Portuguese Man-At-Arms" (or both) i think that it will be acceptable.
Another kind of units widely used were Crossbows (not Pavise Crossbows) and Archers, especialy in the 13 and 14 centuries. Some scholars said the Portuguese archers, used in several specific campains against the spanish that keep Portugal independent, were similar to English Longbows, but i don't know if they were so good as them...
By the way...The Knights Of Avis and Christ also existed as foot knights not only cavalry.

I hope this can help and...

Good work

No, I don't think there wasn't anything different from normal FMAA and CMAA.

No. You must be mixing them up with the few English Longbow Mercenaries that were hired during the 1383-1385 Crisis for Independance. They also fought at Aljubarrota. Portuguese used mainly crossbows.

That's true.

Besides the Orders, the only specific unit I can remember was the Almograves:

Quote:

They were warriors that performed Almogavarias or Almogavrias (Portuguese language) all over the Iberian Peninsula during the Reconquista.

What was a Almogavaria or Almogavria?

It was a raid, performed by these men from time to time, against Moorish ocupied lands, to pillage, steal and burn. These raids were performed by the Christians as well as by the Moors (against Christian occupied lands), with the objective to destroy crops, food reserves and inflict economic damage, as well as reap the benefits of looting.

The real definition for Almograve (Portuguese language) is FRONTIER MEN.

Except for the professional troops of the King, of the noblemen and the knights of the religious orders, these men were the most professional and capable of the soldiers available to the Portuguese.

Another interesting note:

-Most of them were mounted men.

Regarding equipment, all that was possible to get was part of their gear (spears, swords, axes, shields, daggers, knifes, bows, chain mail, helms, etc...).

To MOD them maybe a kind of early less-armoured Gendarmes is the most similar. Although they are like heavier Jinetes. Available in Early and High.

Aymar de Bois Mauri

I just remembered something else. In the Portuguese-Castillian War of 1383-1385 (Crisis for Independance) caused by the death of heirless D. Fernando I, the Portuguese Knights always fought dismounted due to the vast superior enemy forces. They were like CFK, but used pikes instead of poleaxes. The closest thing you can have to them, in the game, is SAP. You could call them Portuguese Foot Knights or Portuguese Dismounted Knights. Only available in Late.

Hope these 2 tips help... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif

I won't lie being the Portugeuse is hard especially in late but having an alliance with the almos helps and gang up on Spain because as soon as a few turns pass they hit you http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif

Don't worry, the 1st Constable of Portugal - D. Nuno Álvares Pereira was able to crush the Castillian Army (30000 men) in a defensive battle with only 6500 men (Battle of Aljubarrota 1385). If you give a Portuguese General 9 stars and specialist defender virtue, he will be close to what our Constable was. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/gc-wink.gif

Let's hope we can be up to the task... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...gc-anxious.gif

SicilianVespers

Excellent, I noticed they are Foot Knights, will you be changing this to Mounted, with dismount capability?

I have another suggestion for you:

You may want to consider consolidating Novgorod and the Kievans into the Rus. Since you have the Cumans as a faction, they should occupy southern Russia from Moldavia & Wallachia to Khazar. The province of Kiev is really in the wrong place, as it cuts the Cuman territories in half.

You could use the extra slot for another exotic faction.

What bodyguard units do the Rus factions have in BKB mod? I just recieved my latest copy of Military History, and there is a good article about Alexander Nevsky. It says the Druzina (sp?) were the Prince's bodyguard units.

The Dynasty of Chernigov was a set of real movers and shakers until the mid-thirteenth century when teh Tatars squashed them... pro-Moscow chroniclers give them short shrift, but they could also go in there...

Still trying to get through the downloads... is there a second source?
02-11-2004, 17:54
SicilianVespers

I suggested a generic Rus faction, so it can be used as any of the Russian Principalities, with the Cumans as the power in southern Russia.

The article mentioned Suzdal alot. It seems it was Aleksandr's base in the early 1200's.

The Rus (Novgorod) should be a pretty interesting faction to play. Mongols to the east, Cumans to the south, Germans & Teutonic Knights to the west.
02-11-2004, 18:34
The Blind King of Bohemia

I wanted Novgorod to have Viking influences while the Kievans/Russians would have more Slavic influences. I'm not looking to consolidate these factions for any release.

A question: Would people prefer me to revert the Sicilians back to their original Sicilian names rather than the Scottish ones they've recieved in the VI? I know it would ruin the famous kings and heroes, but there aren't many and it would be more accurate.

All the knightly orders are in bar the Knights of Christ at the minute. The Teutonic Knights, Templars, San Diego and Sword Brethren all have foot knights also. The ones added are:

Knights of Calatrava
Knights of St Lazarus
Sword Brethren
Knights of St James
Knights of Aviz
Knights of St Thomas of Acre

And as far as I'm aware they all have correct shield designs without looking similar to the others. Plus the Wallachians/Hungarians have the Order of the Dragon. I might make dismounts for them also.

Please use the real Sicilian names. King Adam really irritates me http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

How will you be handling Frederick/Federico II ? are you going to give him to the Sicilians or Germans?

Isn't the Scottish names problem a typo in the Sicilian Forenames section of the Heroes files? I think it is set to 14 and it really should be 4 (or vice versa)
02-11-2004, 23:48
Russ Mitchell

Agreed with Vespers... beter the more correct names...
Nice take on the Russians.

Has anyone had trouble getting this to run? I downloaded it today and followed all the instructions. I made the viking and pagan2 folders and put them in the proper place. Anyone else follow the intstructions and have it not work? If so please let know what you did to get it to work. I am dying to play this one.

Hey BKB, I was just wondering. Do you have any plans for a 1453, post medieval era game? Because that would be a great addition. Your Super Early mod was really good, and I'm sure your other two will also kick ass. Anyways, if such a mod is under any consideration, I hope it includes such units as musketeers(presumably built with a master gunsmith), German landsknechtes(both the pikemen and the swordsmen), and, well, I'm sure you would know a lot more than I would.
02-15-2004, 00:00
The Blind King of Bohemia

I have toyed with the idea certainly. A while ago I drew up a list of factions that would be in such a Renaissance mod. The concept got shunned but when I finish the Super Mod it would certainly be something worth considering.

Oh and Landsknecht Pikemen will be in Super Late. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
02-15-2004, 11:40

http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif The Renaissance mod is a KIck ass idea....,
The Game is almost there already, with Hvy Pike and Muskets etc. It would a good opportunity to show those Cossacks guys (respect to the artwork and animation, but..) How masses of Pike and Musket should behave on a battlefield. Not marching back and forth franticly having been thoroughly confused trying to go round a hill. Whilst failing to respond to the artillery that is annihilating them. Maybe that was a rant for the cossacks forum...however.
I'm Surprised there were few takers when you raised the idea before, given Cossacks and AC's success. It would open the door to hundred of Mods and Maybe I'd get to play the Battle of Pavia.

Pavia would be interesting, as would fornovo and biccoca. After the release of the super mod fully, the renaissance period is probably the period i'll mess around with and hopefully release something playable.

http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/rolleyes.gif Maybe,
I'll have gleaned enuff modding info/skills by then to give you a hand. Although animation is still new to me, I have got a copy of 3Dsmax which I'm going to be playing with. But mainly I'm re-scripting and renaming. Working on Hybriding several mods currently. Shamelessly stealing units and factions left, right and centre. Look forward to your future mods. BKB got me back into MTW and made me realise how customisable MTW was.

Hey, BKB http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif

I've noticed some bugs in Super Early, the Armenians and Croats are switched in the Heirs, Spies and Assassins definitions. I'll explain. I've came across the message:

"Your bodyguards have caught and killed an enemy assassin. It seems he was working for the Armenians."

Or:

"Your bodyguards have caught and killed an enemy spy. It seems he was working for the Armenians."

And:

"The Croatian King has died from an illness. His heir has taken command of the Armenians."

The problem is: The Armenians were eliminated 20 years ago

I believe it happens for all new factions.

The Pre-Battle Shields of the new factions use the existing ones of original game (The Welsh use the Papacy shield in the pre-battle screen).

Also, the Moorish Infantry, Andalusian Cavalry and Finnish Tribsmen don't show dead bodies in battles.

I believe it happens for all new units.

Have you noticed this?

p.s Also did some work on Build prod files and startpos files to get a bit more balance and faction development by increasing revenues on a couple of things and decreased a few build times. Plus added another twenty odd units from Med Mod and some of my own eg Order Mounted Sergeants, Compagnies d Ordanannce, Streltsy etc and then I think I ran out of room in UnitProdfiles. Counted 259 units maybe I miscounted thought the max was 256

No, he didn't do that either. Besides, the religion tags overrides any faction tags, at least so for any normal units.

Here follows a direct copy of the princess entry in the latest MedMod unit_prod.txt:

Princess PRINCESS 0 0 0 0 80 1 1 DISCOURAGED "POVERTY_STRICKEN(35), DESPERATE_DEFENCE(1), CATHOLIC_EXPANSIONIST(8), CATHOLIC_NAVAL_EXPANSIONIST(8), CATHOLIC_TRADER(10), CATHOLIC_CRUSADER_TRADER(10), CATHOLIC_EXPANSIONIST_CRUSADER(8), CATHOLIC_DEFENSIVE_CRUSADER(8), POPE(5), CATHOLIC_DEFENSIVE(8), CATHOLIC_ISOLATIONIST(5), ORTHODOX_DEFENSIVE(8), ORTHODOX_EXPANSIONIST(8), ORTHODOX_STAGNANT(10), MUSLIM_PEACEFUL(10), MUSLIM_EXPANSIONIST(8), MUSLIM_DEVOUT(8), BARBARIAN_RAIDER(4), REBELS(10), CLOSE_TO_SUPPORT_LIMIT(0)" ALL_PERIODS NO NO "own_princess_tooltip1, own_princess_tooltip2, other_princess_tooltip1, other_princess_tooltip2" "CATHOLIC,ORTHODOX"

Another quirck from Super Early:

The Almoravids are switched with the Golden Horde. It is 1139, i'm playing with the Navarrese and at war with the Almoravids. The following occurs:

"The Almoravid Khalifa has died from an illness. His heir has taken command of the Golden Horde."

The super early addon was great I really like it and play it all the time.. looking forward for the high and late to.

But I was wondering.. Norway.. Everybody thinks "oh no the piss country next to sweden... not even worth to take control over No income and no start buildings" I'm not here to dissagre that norway may not be the best province for some money... but in fact Norway was emerging to be a powerfull nation... and at the end of the 1100 century we actually had a CathedraL, over 350 stave churches, some castles. So then i begg you nicely to not underestimate Norway as totalwar did http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gif

We Norwegians would be very gratefull if we had at least castle5(Akershus Festning was big), church, cathedral, shibbuilder, port and a royal palace.. it's up to you but I'm only suggesting some buildings to make it more realistic http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/gc-yes.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/gc-yes.gif

I should break it to you now in case you don't already know - Norway aren't in High or Late. I felt other factions were more critical to those periods. Also, its a nightmare having Denmark, Norway and Sweden. I tried it before and something gives straight away, and its normally Norway. Don't take it to heart - I ran out of faction space. I'm sorry http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gif

Hehe :D I saw itt on your page for the mod.. on the screenshots... :D Anyways Norway was still just a small little kingdom to the north... nothing compared to others... but is there any way you can add more factions? Because it would be great if all nations who actually was nations at that time could be there... Would be wars at all fronts MOAHAHAH http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/tongue.gif
03-04-2004, 20:04
The Blind King of Bohemia

I think you can add ten factions to each period max. I've tried to get round the issue by removing some old ones from certain periods (like the useless Sicilians from late). Believe me if there was enough space I would make every power of the time a faction. That truly would be a Super Mod.

I think you should change his name as no King is called:

King The Lord I http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...nquisitive.gif

Thanks for the Link Aymar that was good stuff. Curiously I wonder why he chose Valencia instead of a different area. One maybe that had a little more protection or at least offered a bit of longevity to his dream. Well I am leaving working now so I will finally get to play a good campaign. I think I'll start with El Cid. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/cheers.gif

No problem. Good to know you've recieved them. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/gc-yes.gif

As for the flags, shields, etc... ...I'll try to send a complete pack of those in dire need of it (Kievans, Croatians and Scots). Then the others (minor alterations most) will follow. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif

Gen lee, i advise for the small factions such as wales, scotland, Armenia, etc to seize the situation and make rapid attacks against your enemies, especially England who you can easily tear apart.

For the high release i try to give the small factions a bit more cash so they broke as many of them do in super early

Loved the expansion Blind King. Will the New Super High have the New Korean/Chinese Mongol Units that you mention on your webpage and will there be any other of The Mongols little helpers e.g Ilkanid's, Bessermini Archers, Chagatai Mongols or a few Kipchacks in the western steppe provinces perhaps, maybe Chinese Crossbowmen. I Can provide Jpegs or even make some Bifs/LBM,s for all these and have hundreds of others Jpegs for Medieval Unit Icons from all periods and Nations, including several far eastern armies e.g the Hind (Indian Hindu), Indian Moslem and Yaun Chinese (if any one fancies doing a far east Medieval mod)

Late reply, but be my guest. I've got some good sources for unit info. Lots on the Ayyubid Eygptians e.g Al-Halqa Al-Kassa (imperial Bodyguard), Hijazi Bedouines (camelry), Royal Mamluk Askars, Kurdish Auxillia, Fityan and/or Ayyuran (and/or Addath) Civic Veteran Militia, Daylami guards etc etc (+jpegs for BIFs)Been using some of these and others All which would fit in to your super late mod. Can send you as much or little info as needed. As far as the FarEAst MOd goes interesting idea isn't it. Hmmmmm....

I loved the mod, BUT it was a bit annoying to play, since the game kept crashing to desktop constantly. For example;
I was playing as the people of Novgorod, and everytime I invaded lithuania, the game crashed. The people of Novgorod was also one the only factions I could choose without the game crashing. I tried to choose the norse, the croats and the poles, but never got to the campaign map. Instead I found myself looking at my desktop.
Have others had similar problems, or did I screw up the installation?

http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/rolleyes.gif Think you might have,
Screwed up the installation. I'm 50 years into an English campaign and apart from the known probs with the texts, Portraits and Pre Battle shields,its going fine. I've even managed to expand the mod to include another 30 units and and various other changes. So it seems fairly stable to me. Although some of my new unit elite cavalry units are appearing as Royal bodygaurds for inappropriate factions. If anyone can help me with that I'd sure appreciate it. Think its probably a script error in unitprod thats sneaked in there somehow and has remained hidden apart from disrupting the AI's reading of the Unit prod. Serves me right for bare back editing (not using Gnome editor)
But Wilpuri think you might have to start again. Sorry Dude. The text is incredibly sensitive and the smallest error will stop the game launching or cause a CTD.

I know the Teutonic Order State will be implemented in the SuperHigh so maybe You'll find it interesting.

Info. concerning the Teutonic Knights

After they were invited to Poland and granted some territory to start with they conquered the whole Prussia, but it proved to be just the beginning.
After supressing several pagan rebellions they made their greatest mistake - started to attack christian, even catholic neighbours -Poland

In 1308 the Pomeranians were polish vassals and christian.
They were attacked by Branderburgians who were trying to conquer the quite rich trade center of Gdansk. It wasn't possible to repel the invaders so a representative of the Polish Duke called the Teutons for help. They helped, but captured Gdansk for themselves and after that killed all ( mostly christian)citizens
From that time Gdansk could be called Danzig, because most new citizens were German, and from that time the Teutonic Order started war against catholic neighbours.
there were several wars and finally after the rebellion of several cities ( Danzig incl.) Poland was able to take back this territory in 1466, also the Order proved to be the unifying factor for Poland and Lithuania and peaceful christianization of this state - by this they were working towards its own doom.

I Think You found it interesting at least a little.
