A preview (I know its been awhile but study week is over :( )

Nubian Infantry



Light infantry, armed with shield and spear. They are by no means the greatest quality troops however their numbers are where their strength lays as they overwhelm the crusading armies of Europe.

[Geoffrey S]

Still looking fantastic. What I really like is the way all the units seem to fit together, they don't seem to clash (colourwise) like those in quite a few other mods.

Glad to see you're making good progress.

Todays preview

Ayyubid Infantry



This infantryman is a rank and file trooper at your disposal in your fight against the franks. Not armored except for his padded coat and shield he is not going to be the decisive force on the battle that your Daylamites or Black Guards will be. However they are faster then their european counterparts with just as much eagerness to show their worth.

Wow, these models and skins all look so fantastic but there is one thing I find a little iffy...and that is the english knight's helmets...a little out of place for the period arent they? Reminds me of the movie LadyHawke

Maybe a bascinet, warhat or conical helmet with aventail should be used as a replacement?

But again these are all so fantastic, I dont even know where to begin with the praises :D

You are truly bringing the crusades to life. I can not wait for this to be released!

[Revolting Friendship]

These are some of the best looking units I've seen. I've been inspired, thanks for sharing your wonderful work!

[Duke John]

Very good looking, not a flaw to be seen!

I'm trying to "sell" my Wars of the Roses scripting concept to anyone capable of finishing it and since this project focuses on just 2 factions would you be interested in it? It features a scripted strategic AI, M:TW or R:TW style of strategic movement. All battlemaps can be custom made. No siege battles but that will save you on creating new buildings, just abstract sieges to a several turn action. Recruitment of armies can be made pretty much whatever you like. Techtree or something more real and fitting to the period. The strategic UI is completely removed, everything happens on the strategic map itself.

To make it a bit more clear:

The player can select an army that he controls. (Do not mind the 3 armies at the bottom they are for debugging purposes and will be invisible during normal play)

Doing so will pop up the advisor telling him that he can now select an enemy army, unoccupied tile, etc.

An enemy army has been selected which pops up another advisor text telling him that a battle will be fought.

Pressing the Show Me button will launch the player directly into the scripted battle.


Anyway, keep up the excellent work!

Cheers,
Duke John

interesting concept Duke John. But not the one for the crusades I think.

Its been awhile since a preview. Today we revisit the crusaders, with a refresh skin of the Templar Sergeants.

Templar Sergeants



These men, although not knights, are strong and disciplined infantry armed with a spear and large kite shield. They wear padded armor for protection and will fight with the intensity and ferocity.

Hell must have frozen over, 'cause here comes another preview

Syrian Heavy Infantry



These infantrymen are covered in armor and are the very definition of heavy infantry. They wear a full suit of chainmail as well as a leather lamellar cuirass while carrying a small round shield. They wield a short sword similar to the roman weapon of ages past. They will form the back bone of any Syrian army and are well suited to hold any position in the saracen line.

If it were biologically possible, I would have your babies.

[caius britannicus]

Not a particularly exciting unit today

Ghazi Infantry



These men are the religious fanatics of the Saracens, they are only armed with a shield, axe, and their faith. Although lightly armed they are fierce warriors and would rather fight to the last man then surrender the field of battle to the infidels.

[King Baldwin IV]

the models are impressive! i use some of the unit previews with white backgrounds as wallpaper... they looks so detailed and shiny.

[Count Flip]
