Chivalry: Total War public beta release on May 20th

[alpaca]

The Chivalry: Total War team proudly announces a public beta release for the early era of our mod - scheduled for May 20th 2006.
It will run with both R:TW 1.5 or BI 1.6

Chivalry: Total War will be the first total conversion mod with a different time-frame than the original R:TW - it will take you through the medieval ages, beginning in 1072, some time before the first crusade, and ending with the fall of Constantinople in 1452.
It is designed with the goal of a great gameplay, especially in multiplayer, while being as historically accurate as possible.
Unfortunately we don't have a lot of people working on the mod, which means that the beta will still be imperfect in a lot of areas and we couldn't include a lot of features that we'd liked to have. But you can help it to become better, by making suggestions, joining the team, creating a submod, or simply by encouraging us.

As a little appetizer, we made a last faction preview (and the first preview since Adherbal left our team): Bohemia

Now that´s news

Even though it´s "only" the early era again, but a release in the first place is good enough news. Hopefully it really works with 1.5, lest I´ve got to get BI first...

Right, I forgot to add the version info ;)
Yes, it works with both 1.5 and BI 1.6
