Hi there, (post copied from TWC)

I just started a Mod for M2:TW, It's called "Black Sea: Total War"

But now a few facts so you can come to know what the mod shall include.
Only gos knows if this mod will be for kingdoms or the maingame.

the mod aims good historical accuracy and great gameplay, in battles and also on the campaign map.

The mod starts in 1186, one year before the Crusade of Richard the Lionheart, who will spawn at Acre during the Campaign.

Factions (not final):

Catholic:
Kingdom of Denmark
HRE
Republic of Venice
Papal States
Knigdom of Sicily
Teutonic Order
Kingdom of Poland
Kingdom of Hungary

Orthodox:
Grand Duchy of Novgorod
Grand Duchy of Moscow
Grand Duchy of Ryazan
Grand Duchy of Kiev
Kingdom of Georgia
Basileia ton Romaion (Byzantine Empire)
Kingdom of Cilician Armenia

Islamic:
Seljuks
Saracens(=Egypt)
West-Iran (Abbasids, Ilkhanids, khwarezm shah?)
Mongols

Pagan:
Grand Duchy of Lithuania

Map:
so, and that the Factions have enough place to kill themselves, they need a map.
and here it is(I'm working on the Map at the moment, i'll post screens in a few weeks):
The Map ends in the West at Rome, in the South at Acre, in the West at the Aral Sea and in the North with Helsinki.


Teamrecruitment:
We need everything except a mapper! (that's me)
please post if you want to join the team as
Historian
Coder
Scripter
2D-Artist
3D-Artist
etc..

Teammembers at the moment:
Alpha_Lupus (making a few signatures with Vanilla Units)
Timur Leng (learning skinning and modelling at the moment)
JERUSALEM (historian)

Mods I want to include (I'll ask the makers later because when the mod gets dead before coming alive, it's not such a blame):
Darthmod 1.4D
Retrofit mod
and perhaps a few others.

So far, that's a short information on the mod and i hope somebody will join.....
edit:
Darthmod included.
Retrofit Mod included
Lithuanians of the lithuanis mod included (i don't know if they will be in the alpha, cause i have problems with including them into the mod)
