Caius Britannicus Presents: "THE CRUSADES"
"Can a man love a mod ? Probably not. But we, at The Crusades, believe in unnatural love stories!"- Herodotus.. err.. Don_Achilles!
Well, I spent so many months making skins for RTR that I decided to branch off and do my own mini mod. Really it all started when I saw Kingdom of Heaven for the first time. The battles looked so amazing I just had to recreate them in RTW. I know Chivalry and Byzantium are covering that period, but I am going to be offering something different. The map will focus in on the holy land only. There will only be two factions, the Crusaders and the Saracens, and both will be playable. Since I'm on my own for this one it will take some time.
Below are all the updates to date with the most recent listed at the bottom as well as the Crusader Faction unit list with christian rebel unit list and regional troops. A saracen unit lists will be published in the near future.
The projected completion date for the project is the end of march. However unforeseen circumstances can always change that. Cheers and enjoy the previews! Also remember to look thru the thread more information may be posted in the thread and not updated in this first post.
