PIke and Musket TW 1.5 RELEASED !

[cegorach]

The present edition of the mod uses modified campaign map prepared by VikingHorde the creator of the popular Medieval XL. Onece again thank you for it !

Still it remains only as something temporary - the mod will need a new map and it will get one.

For now, to recreate some historical politica processes, wars and the most important directions of expansion I have changed some borders sometimes cutting access from one province to another altogether.

So there is no access between:

Libya <-> Tunisia

Will make ground expansion from Spain to Egypt impossible, makes Malta more important and means that you will need a strong fleet to get from Middle East to North African pirate states.

Hungary <-> Poland

There was virtually no access between thos countries thanks to Carphatian mountains. Channels the Expansion of the Ottomans towards Austria and numerous German and Italian states.

Moldavia <-> Poland

IMproves survival rate of Poland (slightly) and although it still is overrun rather quickly slows down and sends the Ottoams westwards.

Milan <-> Burgundy

Makes Spain slightly more difficult to play - you need a different route between those provinces - possibility of a quick war vs. France.

Hungary <-> Bohemia ( High & Late)

Hapsburg Empire needs some protection against the Ottomans which in future will be provided by Royal Hungary, but now at least Bohemia is safe from the east at least.

Bulgaria <-> Moldavia

Again sends the Ottomans towards the Hapsburg Empire and improves the importance of Wallachia as the main crossing place over Danube.

In addition some countries have added rivers on some borders to protect them better, and some rivers were removed.

There is only one , but very important change when it comes to the seas in the game - THERE IS NO LINK BETWEEN ATLANTIC ( SO ALL NORTHERN SEAS) AND MEDITERRANEAN SEA ( SO ALSO THE BLACK SEA) - this way the income from trade is not so massive as in the vanilla MTW VI and there is no easy way to transport soldiers form Africa to England or other northern country.

I must say I really like your new map-changes. Now you can really use new strategies and some provinces will be essential to hold! Awesome!

I would love to play this mod (I've been looking forward to its release) but I have only one request. As the units and buildings are different than the medieval ones and a totally new way of war comes with this mod, I would very much appreciate some sort of guide.

this doesn't have to be very elaborate only a quick rundown of the different unit types (like horsearchers, spears, skirmishers, ... in MTW) and there tactics. The same for the new buildings.

Thanks in advance.

It will be done in the subforum, most likely TOMORROW you will see a guide FACTIONS, its units and buildings.


There is SCREENSHOT ONLY thread back from the dead somewhere in the bottom of this side + a whole sub-forum to search for these
