Exspansion pack for med 2

I see regiments of really fast sharks battling it out with the parrot fish in the coral reefs off they Seychelles. Oh, and a cute little orange fish called Nemo is in there, too. ;)

Although it is true we have nought to do with either the Med2 patch or the exp pack.

Look, we call it Fast As A Shark 2: Yeah, Baby! in our corner of the office. Then again, at least one of our number still thinks we're working on Ninja Elephant Go! and I was reasonably convinced that we were doing Sound The Profanity Trumpet Online for a while.

I think we need a simpler system for code names. Perhaps we should set up an Excel spreadsheet for them.

But whatever it's called, it looks coooooooo-uhl! :laugh4:

And I don't have a goody-goodyness target. I have a carefully rationed monthly allowance of naughtiness.

Congrats on the 400th post! Nice post.

Wait... I thought you were working on a game, not an updated version of the .Org forums. :inquisitive:

I'm on to you. Fast As A Shark 2: Yeah, Baby! is just an anagram for "A Freaky Baby Has Hat Ass! ,:2" I haven't quite figured out what "hat ass" is yet, but clearly the strange smiley at the end is a picture of one.

And Ninja Elephant Go! is an anagram for "Japan Eel In Thong!" You people make me sick.

how about putting in war wagons, and impoving some factions like poland who appear to be hastily done and lack units

Here is what we know so far:

The Addon will contain 4 Campaigns, with new faction(bolded):

• Britain: With England, Wales, Scotland, Norway, Ireland.
• Crusade: Two Alliances vs. Each other: Jerusalem + Antiochia vs Egypt, Byzantines, Turks and all together vs. Mongols
• New World: Azteks, Maya, Apache,Tarasken, Chichimeken, Tlaxkalteken and Spanish Settlers under Cortez
• East Europe: With German Knights, Poland, Lithuania, Denmark, Novgorod

- Moats added around castles
- They also added "Special abilities" for the historical persons in the 4 campaigns: Richard I. can collect fleeing troups, Emperor Manuel of Byzanz can "confuse" enemy units, that they hit themself.
- The campaings have different targets and a different way of playing it. In the Eastern, the religion plays a big role (because of unrest and unit development -> u can only build teutonic knights in a catholic area) in the New world if you play the spanish have only few Units and you have to look for alliances and trading routes.
- More units on a battlefield.
- You can build Forts with water around it.... keep their position and which you also can conquer and use for urself.
- More + Different Mission Targets: A noble man apears and asks for your help in a combat. If you are successfull, your reward will depend to how you won (how many you killed).
- In the Britain Scenario you can make as enemy of England an alliance with renegate(?) english aristocrats. They ask for your help, to conquer a town. If you give them the town after the victory, they will found a new anti-english fraction "Allianz der Barone"!

Now i think that's going to be a pretty good expansion.

I sure hope that means you can play either alliance side, otherwise the Eastern/Muslim factions aren't getting much love in this expansion.

Ugh.... Apaches. I know why they're doing this, in terms of "cool units to fight," but I wish they had stuck a little closer to history and done the Apalachee and/or Calusa in Florida, instead of going for the Apaches.

The other stuff looks okay, I guess.

They'll spill the beans soon enough.

It's the Australian office that's working on M2 at present.

With all do respect to the CA programmers and creators of this great series, could you not show your true geekness and come up with cooler sounding codenames. I mean come on, I say that codename to my girlfriend and she will do nothing but complain and I wouldn't get the aquired "fun time" that people get as a trade off for being stuck with women and put up with all the complaints on how incompetent we are. Women, urgggg, if only they were as easy as a full on castle seige.

Don't worry. "Fast As A Shark 2" will come with a disclaimer: "Beware: May cause trouble with girlfriend / wife. Creative Assembly is in no way liable for divorce proceedings." ;)

I see you're trying to take over from civ in that regard :laugh4:

Will there ever be a boy born that can swim as fast as a shark?

Fast As A Shark 2

Another of those Alexander type marathons perhaps

If the expansion pack would be based around the year 1700, then why would they call it an expansion for Medieval II? :wall:
If they create an x-pansion then it it should be based around the same period or 1600, as far I know the Middle Ages ended in 1543!!! :book:

@sapi:
CIV4 actually got a clock into the UI because the development testers said it's too addictive. Maybe we should do that too... :P

@Imperator P:
Why 1700? Looking at the general timeframe of the scenarios mentioned in that German magazine we see:

- Cortez is early 1500s.
- Crusades is 1100s
- Teutonic Order & Lithuania is late 1300s
- Britain & Norway is late 900s

ignore, aaagggh, stupid browser.

@Thamis - a clock might do the job...or you could use subliminal messaging systems (SMS) to hint that it's time to stop playing :grin2:

well i guess its settled. we need not guess on it anymore. its been admitted from sensai that kingdoms is the expansion.

Yes you definitely should, I always use the clock in Civ4 :whip:

Edit: With the alarm, too, so I won't be late for the university :shame:

Edit2: By the way, does the portion about forts mean they'll stay on the map when ungarrisoned, or that the AI uses them properly?

why cant we get an expansion based on this
