Re: Medieval2 ~:cheers:
I know it's early days, but i'm just wondering, will the EB team be doing anything with all this new medieval 2 stuff, or are you just soley focusing on EB on RTW in the future? Cos im sure you guys could do wonders with "finishing move" soldiers etc. Possibly tatooed barbarian fingers?

It all depends on...Originally Posted by Masy
A) How moddable Medieval 2 is!
B) Do we have people willing to make another EB with another engine!
C) Will we make a historically correct mod for the medieval period or make EB for Medieval 2 engine!
The EB team will however finish EB for RTW before starting on another project.

Re: Medieval2 ~:cheers:
I reckon, if it's a tossup between those two, a historical accuracy mod would be best. I'm almost cetain the medieval 2 chappies will create completely inaccurate scotsmen, and such an issue would certainly need to be rectified (hopefully by you guys). Also i am really enjoying beta, so i totally agree with your priority to finish off EB first.C) Will we make a historically correct mod for the medieval period or make EB for Medieval 2 engine!

Re: Medieval2 ~:cheers:
I second that bet. I bet they will depict a Braveheart-like modern kilt. Not that it bothers me an inordinary amount, it's just a grain of sand in one's shoe.
My hope is that we will port EB to the M2TW engine, to take advantage of the obvious advantages. Such as.. possibly more factions.. more complex cities and walls, more textures/models per soldier.. grit/blood textures.. etc.

If anything, I would like for EB to port over to MTW2.

Barbarians with different helmets, hair colours, beards and getting dirty etc would certainly look more authentic

Ye, just like those little nude chappies, Gesticae or whatever they called. They are totally awesome with their little digital wangs. Who doesn't love history?

Re: Medieval2 ~:cheers:
sorry to double post, but did anybody hear about the elephants "mounted with cannons"?!
Re: Medieval2 ~:cheers:
Might just be a mistake. Another magazine wrote about "cannons pulled by elephants". Remember, just before the release of R:TW a reviewer told that you would be able to load burning pigs on your catapults.

Lol i remember another good fib, the one about the challengin A.I.Remember, just before the release of R:TW a reviewer told that you would be able to load burning pigs on your catapults.
Re: Medieval2 ~:cheers:
who or what are the Tumurids? do they mean Timurids but just spelt it wrong?
BTW whats with all this CA bashing, i dont know of any games which display history acurately so why should CA bother, ITS A GAME everybody not a damn history session get over it. And all these jokes about its historical inaccurasy arent funny SO STOP TRYING!!

Well your on the wrong forum to be complaining about history fans..

Re: Medieval2 ~:cheers:
I think he is just trying to say that CA is not going to give historical accuracy, or at least not to the level we want. So instead of complaining (to which they won't listen, as the game is never going to be accurate enough for us), we instead should try to influence them on other matters, like a robust engine, a challenging opponent and moddability.
Just my 2p.

Honour is that which preserves the dignity of the human spirit.
It’s how you treat people, that makes you an honourable person.
Not how many battles you win.
The glory of your victories will soon be forgotten.
But the kindness and respect you show for others, will not.
So is there really any honour in Total War games?
No.
But there is in some of it’s players…
Re: Medieval2 ~:cheers:
All I want is:
a) a better AI
b) a greater moddability
c) a fine engine
It won't be historic accurate, however I hope they move more toward it

Re: Medieval2 ~:cheers:
I haven't expected complete historical accuracy from any Total War game. I've just expected that it's historically believeable. RTW did a good enough job with some factions, like Romans, Seleucids & Pontos to mention a few, and totally trashed it with Egypt and the barbarians.
If I find Hashishin battle units in Medieval 2 instead of Hashishin agent, I wont complain, just murmur to myself a bit.
If I find cannons mounted on wagons that can be quickly brought around the battlefield and shoot on the move, Im flaming some forums.
And if they look like this...

Heh, I read a "What If?" essay the other day, examining what might have happened if one of Cortez's men hadn't sacrificed himself to save him, and Cortez had been taken captive on the causeway. The Aztecs might have been able to consolidate their political position, learn to use horses and firearms (there were Spanish who fought for them as it was, and any captured who wanted to survive would have had to help them), the governor Cortez had defied would have pressed on with his desire for trade instead of conquest of Mexico. End result: The United States has a western border much further east than it is currently.Unless I can play as the Aztecs, conquer Europe and sacrifice it's populace to my bloody, pagan gods, I'm going to boycott this game!
I don't see them conquering Europe, though.
