Hello! This is my first official post in the capacity as a member of the Mediaeval Auctoriso team, and seeing it as such, I'd like to take a moment and thank the high quality team for letting me become one of their august number.

Thank you!

Now on to the fun stuff! (now yell YAY!, it is ok to look like a geek when you yell yay at whatever computer screen your looking at, trust me, I'll even do it with you every time I read the post)


Well, a lot of what we have been doing recently has been working on the basis of the entire mod. That is Solo has been busy rebuilding our map from scratch so as to improve upon our already existing map-concept that was created by Anti-Strut. So please expect a very beautiful and enjoyable map to play on.

There has been a lot of discussion upon the basis of our traits system, and we have made some significant progress here. Namely expect to see a trait system like none other out there at the moment with tons of traits that actually matter for the game play, and, allow someone to RP with their character. No more will you have a 45 year old character with 20 odd traits, instead, expect fewer more important traits.


Of our emblems, you saw a few examples of what we are doing with our units, but thats not the least of it, our Heraldry experts have designed every single herald we will use (and we are using a LOT).


We are also using a very realistic and historic list of character names for our mod. Certain names will be used more frequently (as they were in history) than others bringing another viable sense of realism that vanilla did not include, this has been in progress since the game was released and has been viewed in every step of our development. The basis of our character name list comes from using a frequency database based on primary sources. So expect to see a fully immersive set of names that you could literally "get lost in"


We are also expanding upon our recently released PTPV project. While additionally including Byzantine/Feudal (Catholic/Russian)/Islamic titles for EVERY REGION on the map. Your British lords are already able conquering Egypt and gain a Kingdom or Princedom; but now the Byzantines will get their own title, as will the Islamic factions Also included will be AI compatibility! These updates will be released in the upcoming PTP V0.5 release! PTP is light years ahead of the competition in the regard of its script makeup so expect more fun things from this area!


I hope that with this post we will gain more notice. You might be asking "why do you need people to notice you? You keep most of your work behind closed doors", well, that’s true... but we have an important decision coming up soon that requires the public to make. "Huh?" Yeah, we need YOU!

Very soon we will need everyone here to vote on our final faction. The mod team has created a list of 30 factions we will use, and has decided in combined wisdom to let the public decide, out of a limited number, the final faction that MA will be using!

I hope you enjoyed this week’s blog and are looking forward to future updates and information!
