What do you think? ~D
Come on...No comments or feedback? ~:(
Yes I think this mod looks very good but I have said it before...
~:cheers:
Love the tech-tree. :2thumbsup:
Hi edyz,
One thing's missing: Artillery!
Look @ my post on the BTW website and give me feedback dude ~:cheers:
Long live Hellas!
As long as there are Greeks, Byzantium will never die.-Hellas1

Early shot of our site. ~D
Thanks for all the comments. ~:cheers:
I really look frwrd. to this mod. On one hand b/c of the beautiful units, on the other to get involved (more) into Byzantine history!!!! Rock on U guys:2thumbsup:
looks good, are you gonna by implementing anything from EB? you know more expensive units, or their trait system?
Expensive units will surely be. We can't allow the player to build stacks and stacks of Tagmata Klibanphoroi!!! :laugh4:
As for the trait system, I don't know. Traits and ancillaries will surely by something + for the mod. ~:)
The post keeps showing really great pictures being made by Toxotai if I'm if I have the correct name of the poster. I look forward to playing the game when it's done, and more great pictures!!!!
:2thumbsup: :2thumbsup:
Actually, Toxotai is the greek name for archers. ~D :laugh4:
Blindfaithnogod worked on them.
Expect a new update soon. ~D

Here are some news, bit dissapointing.
My personal exams are getting closer(1 month away), so my time to guvern the mod will be restricted. It will be in a sort of hibernation state, till I finish my exams, on the 22th of JUNE(sorry).
Till then, we'll have reduced activity and no more updates. Sorry.
But after that...Prepare for Hurricane Byzantrina. ~D
Here's some more info.
Current progress
Historical research: about 75%
Tech trees: about 60% - some factions tech trees need to be done
Camapign map: 10%
Units: about 45% - about 140 units made
Faction symbols: 90% - some of them need a bit of editing
New factions: 0%
Coding: about 20% - most units have been implemented
Scripting: 10%
Testing: 0%
Multiplayer: 0%
We've entered Hibernation mode for one month. I have exams, and I can't continue work. :shame:
30th of June 2006
=============
Very sad announcement. The mod is half dead.
We shall release a skin pack. After that, the mod will be declared dead.
This is because we have nobody to work. Thank you.
:skull:
Awww. I was looking forward to a Byzantine mod.
Sorry, that's life. :skull:
We might make BTW for MTWII though.
sorry BTW is cancelled edyz. at least you got AOVAF, EB, HTW! :2thumbsup:

It's ALIVE!!!!!!!!
It's ALIVE!!!!!!!!
Yeah.
Hellas1
Some very Impressive art work!! Keep it up and looking forward to giving your MOD a try.
Sorry to spoil the fun, but BTW ain't alive. I am just releasing the secret screenshots we had.
wow!!! those are good. you should dontae some to Chivalry: Total War, i bet they would take it.
Spartan is right, Chivalry: Total War, could use it and kinda resurect something of BTW?
What modders were you short on edyz?
Yeah Instead of just letting die out ask around, you're MOD has garnered a prestigous rep and I bet quite a few people will be wanting to make it happen
Yeah I'd love to try and help Byzantium Total War.
Oh well, I think it's time to *cough* release some mre info *cough* about a possible *cough* new game mod revival...
*cough* MTWII is fairly accurate, but needs more accuracy *cough*.
~D
Anyone offering to help the MTWII mod? We already have some guys and we got stuff planned, so help us!

You ll be restarting it ..even when MTW45 or RTW50 are released :yes:
If the ambition was not so high,(900 factions,1.000.000 units,full previews..etc etc etc) maybe it would have succeed.
Viva la Byzantium!!
What happened to the RTW version? It was going great! Surely there are modders out there who will help you!
MODDERS!! Get of you big hairy overwieght butts and lend a hand!!! (Not meant to offend anyone as I am a modder myslef). What is wrong with you? How can you give up your name in modding history!?
Okay, what people do you need? I didn't offer before (even though I love Byzantium/Constantinople/Istambul/Miklagard) because we are going on vacation soon, but I might be able to help with some stuff.Quote:

Set your goals a little lower!! Make some good base units for the first release (the sooner you put out a release the better!), and then you can make more to release in a later version. Try to narrow down some important things for a first release, and work on them!
I will help with whatever I can (though it may not be much), but more importantly, I may be able to get more people to help you.
Never give up!
We will rise again!
Viva la Byzantium!!
If this is going to be made, then great, if it's going to be shoved off to MTV2, then what's the Bloody point of doing it!! The Byzantium Mod, I've waited for as has everyone else has, I'm not a modder (at best, I can offer historical support if needed (but I think that has been done very well, but can look up anything needed, if Needed). Let's not waste RTW: Byzantium and get it done as soon as possible:2thumbsup: :2thumbsup: :2thumbsup:
Exactly!!!! ON WITH BYZANTIUM!!!!!!!!
So what is the Gameplan and release date for R:TW - Byzantium?
Well, if anyone wants to make up a team and release this thing, it's perfect.
I can't do a damned thing, I am too busy with RL and EB.
Hey Edyz!
What happened man? :dizzy2:
I thought this mod would be done and also ported over to MTWII?
Not to mention you added me to a certain forum a while ago.... ~:confused:
Anyway, let's get this done for RTW and then MTWII, which IS better!
:beam:
hellas1- Once you go greek, you need it EVERY week....Yiala!!!
Was this being made for regular or BI?
As long as it get's done for RTW or BI, It doesn't matter to me as long as it's done and released for either RTW or BI
Is this going to get done anytime soon?:wall:Quote:

Nice job!
My opinion is that you should make the starting date on the game 330,when the byzantine empire was made.Because then it will be more interesting.
That is what i think.
But it is good this way too.
If anyone is still interested, I stumbled on about 20MB of skins and models from the mod...
Yes totally,
Ok, I'll upload them this week to the public.
This is the first part of the old and promised ByzantiumTW Skinpack. It features many units, with complete model and skin. Feel free to use them for personal use, ask permission if you want them for mods.
Contributors: blindfaithnogod, palissa, shogo, halie satanus, xennik, favre, Dirty Peasant, Polski Orzel... (I hope I haven't forgotten anyone)
Part II will be released soon, as I need to gather the remaining models scattered everywhere.
NOTE: 16MB of units includes about 30-40 units, so it's a lot. Bear in mind, there might be some doubles, so check them out.

Dang! Another dead promizing mod?
Hope the others of the team can put the mod back to life!
If not: Anyone interested in joining a darkage mod for RTW/BI (Byzantinians, Abbasid, Bulgars, Moravia, Moors, Asturia-Galicia, Franks, Vikings, ... mod starts 840AC end ~1100), help would be very nice here:
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=119455
@max_minimod, your mod looks interesting, as its in development why don't you make a thread for it in the Forge here?
Then you can show details of your progress to date, that should get more attention than just having link in another (possibly deceased :embarassed: ) mod's thread.
Yes, I will do, I only waited for some more people to join first, to be sure the mod can be done, before starting another thread that dies in the end.
Its so sad to see all that good mod ideas and the nice units die. :embarassed:
