Re: Factions & Units
Just curious. Why no Greek/Byzantine faction? They were very small and relatively powerless at the time, but they were there. The Turks didn't take Constantinople until 1453.Originally Posted by GodsPetMonkey
I'm sure you have a good reason. I was just wondering.

Re: Factions & Units
Essentially, with a limit of 20 factions, we just didn't have the space. If M2TW does allow for 30, then I think it's very likely that they will make it (and would be one hell of a challenge to play as!).

Re: Factions & Units
Fair enough.
...and yes, I don't know who would be tougher to play as. The turks were beating down their door by the turn of the 15th century.

Re: Factions & Units
I don't know if you guys know yet, but it is confirmed now that the faction limit is 30+ rebels.
May I suggest adding the Papal States, Portugal, Persia and perhaps Georgia.
Thanks and good luck with your mod, I was really looking forward to the RTW edition, but M2 should provide a better base.
PS, you may wish to contact Ogniem i Mieczem TW or Pike and Pusket TW to cooperate as those guys have lots of stuff on Poland-Lithuania and Muscovy that you may find useful.
Cheers.
Re: Factions & Units
Yes Ogniem and Maczem is a great mod, and the team boasts some extraordinary artists, but they are very reluctant to share their work.
Re: Factions & Units
I'd love to see Ireland amke it into the MTW2 version, but of course there are a bunch of other factions that might be better, and since I don't have the time to contribute much at all anymore I'll just keep my fingers crossed and trust youg uys.

Re: Factions & Units
This is VERY ambitious project. Covering 200 years of history and the timeframe which marks transition from late medieval armies to pike & shot model. This will be big a challenge for modders of Citadel, because the amount of different units and their appearance changed quite a lot during this timeframe. Don't know if you plan to implement new buildings which could be very hard due to the destruction animations.
Will definitely require more than year of hard modding to release something playable.
Nevertheless best wishes in your project.
