    Looks very nice. Any chance of you joining one of the many other existing Medieval period/Crusade mods?

    Heh thanks for the comments!
    Once I've finished the mod and make it available to the public I might give the units to Crusader TW since they are letting me use their trebuchet in this mod. I have no campaign map creation skills and won't have time creating a campaign for it because I'll be busy with other mods. I have nothing to lose letting them use my units as long as the credit me

    BTW here are the updated Mamluk Fel:
    Gave them chainmail to protect the trunk and added leather straps so it doesn't look like the shields are just floating.
    Also that weight glitch on the trunk in the bottom pic has been fixed.

    I was thinking of Chivalry TW; they've got so much done already, including a campaign map, and really need someone of your obvious skills to finish the models and skins; not only that, but they're also planning a Crusades section for the mod.

    Whatever you do, this is still looking great, and I wish you the best of luck!

    Crusader: TW could use help with the Moslem units. Is there any chance you would help us out? The Unit Roster is great and we'd appreciate help with ours.

    This is looking really cool! The designs (and the models) are excellent. I particularly like the use of colour.

    nice work
    The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth,
    and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of
    Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet
    fall under the Shadow


    Twice and twice shall he be marked,
    Twice to live, and twice to die.
    Once the heron, to set his path.
    Twice the heron, to name him true.
    Once the dragon, for remembrance lost.
    Twice the dragon, for the price he must pay.

    I'm sorry to announce the cancellation of this mod. Due to my personal lack of interest I have decided to cancel the mod and give all of my finished units to CrusaderTW so they won't go to waste.

    Hope everyone has a Happy New Year,

    Your units you have done are excellent...

    Anyway, good news that us at crusader TW can use them..

    It would've been a shame for them to be lost in the chasms of time
