"A keep as well as a second inner wall."

Is this out dated information? My question is are you going to script the AI armies in some way so they can form a solid battle line. (I know nothing of scripting but is it possible?)

Thanx for pointing that out. Yes that was outdated info there is no longer a second wall. I am planning on working on the formations however there is no way to use scripts to achieve this. All we can do is set up the AI's starting formation and hope for the best.

Aah, Dhul'a'fakar! Nice work on the relics...
Also I don't think the "black stone" really could have been removed from Mecca without some sort of huge religious turmoil...

Re:Relics

Yesterday I've watched the trailer from the german game mag at youtube (english vs. egyptians) and afterwards read about the battle of Hattîn and the shock in europe that followed the defeat.Not so much because the lost battle or even the loss of Jerusalem, but because of the loss of the true cross.In the MTW2 trailer the true cross was portrayed as a unit, do you plan a similar thing for the Crusades ?

I could imagine a small unit of monks with an officer model representing the relic bearer.I think it would be cool to restrict the command eagle to this unit only, at least if the "eagle captured"-message could be changed accordingly, if this unit also gets the "frighten nearby enemy infatry"-attribute it should be (together with the chanting) a real interesting and important unit, able to turn battles and of course be very stylish.

Caius, Do you have a date in mind for the beta? All this MTW2 stuff is making me thirsty for a Crusade.

Good work BTW

Yeah we would love to try your great and fantastic work

The beta will be soon. Other than that I can't really say. A very complete beta will be released sometime this summer. And by complete I mean all features and after an internal beta test. I don't want to release a super buggy beta. Any beta release will be as polished as possible and as near bug free as a limited team can get it.
