Released! End of Days

**Makanyane** · 02-21-2007, 13:03

Wow, this looks simply amazing! I also really like the inclusion of Maiden in it

However, i dont think i'll be able to run it now, i need to get my new CPU to run all these games with huge unit sizes, i tried it with ATW and it just dont work.
Well, it did, but it was jumpy as hell.

We actually recommend using large unit settings for the mod, as that is what campaign was tested on. We do have sprites for all the units but not low poly lods (ah probably more technical info. than you needed). ATW's first version I think didn't have sprites, so depending on which version of that you tried, you may find EOD runs better due to having sprites. My old computer ran it fine and no-one else (touch wood) has reported problems....
... if you give us your machine specs. I'll see if I can find out if anyone is running on comparable machine.

I hope that if you will make a new pacht or a new release, you will insert also an eastern european orthodox christian faction (such as the Byzantine remnants, or why not - the Vlahs ...)

Congratulation for this great mod !

Ahh, managed to forget in install instructions to take into account anyone already having another mod-folder mod (eg. Fourth Age Total War) already installed within the BI folder.

Following the read-me installation instructions won't have done any harm to either mod but you may find you have an additional unnecessary copy of the other mod! Please see additional instructions here if you already have / had another mod-folder mod installed.

@Rex_Pelasgorum I think any Byzantine remnants would very quickly fall victim to a certain other faction starting in that area! There's also a technical problem with adding too many religions in BI, in that only the first three cause unrest. Glad you like it anyway

Well it was a good plan to try and work that out, wanted to compare yours to the two machines it was mainly tested on, that's hampered slightly by fact neither of us can quite work out what our graphics card specs were, or what yours is equivalent to!
One m/c was AMD athlon xp 2000+ (1.67GHz) 512 MB ram, with replacement (not sure exactly what) graphics card.
Other was early pentium 2.4 with about 1GB ram and ATI 9600+ series (can't remember exactly what) 128mb graphics card.

I'd generally vote for if you can run vanilla on huge settings you should be OK for this on large - but don't shoot me if I'm wrong!

Im yet to try rome on huge, but ill test it out later, though i dont actually have vanilla installed, but RTG (rome total gameplay) there doesnt seem to be much difference int he mechnaics, so ill test it out later, and if ti goes well ill be giving this sweet looking mod a download!
Thanks for the help Makanyane!

I just tried RTW huge, a message came up saying i was over the recommended number of on screen characters, but i continued anyway, and it worked! Wasnt as smooth as usual, but definetly better than ATW, still very playable, so either tommorrow night or in the week (when im not working) ill be downloading this sexy looking mod

*puts gun away in drawer* consider yourself lucky!

Oh and, you know the loading screen with the maiden lyrics? My friend and I were in the pub, trying to work out what it was for about 4 hours the other night lol, and just as i was leaving i realised it was Die With your Boots on lol!

Had the chance to download it just yesterday, now I´m doing a Francia campaign

So far, I´ve managed to conquer almost all of the French lands, however, the Kingdom of Albion and me went to war over the privilege to besiege Burgo.
My favourite unit are the Illuminati Knights, they´re devastating, every unit I come across is hired immediately.

I really like the recruitment system, by the way, with the weaker units being replaced by stronger ones. It encourages the diversification of my settlements (since the exp 1 pikes rule the battlefield).

I wonder, will you make an update for EoD, with new units, I mean? For if you do, I think crossbows wouldn´t feel out of place, as well as having a cannon would be neat, it would fit very well into the setting, in my opinion.

Glad your enjoying it...watch out though, there is a nasty supprise that affects the Francia more than any other faction....Cannons were on the list of things to do, though only for the Shambhala, but in the end it became a bit of 'to much effort for to little payoff', so they were cut, might have a fiddle with them but probably not....There is talk of a follow up/exspansion but not for some time..
