Okay guys, I've decided to release this as it is for now so hopefully I can get some feedback and some help. It's coming along nicely but I've suffered a crash but I think I found the root of the problem, it was to do with an easteregg I included which has now been disabled from spawning.

Features

- 3 joinable factions, Japan, Mongolia, Russia.
-- Japan use blades, fast moving on foot, their armour means alot to them.
-- Mongolia use horses, alot of throwing weapons and bows, high HP but terrible armour.
-- Russia use a mix of weak blades, high powered pistols and some use horses. The perfect hybrid class.

- When you create your character you choose a nation.
-- Each nation has it's own characteristics.
-- Class skills re-evaluated.
-- I believe every Mongol gets a horse no matter what class they pick now.
-- Your nation has no effect on your disposition at the start of the game.

- Korean mercs, Turkish mercs, English mercs.
-- Each with their own upgrade tree, some bigger than others.

- Pirates to be designed to be more like pirates.

- New weapons, more asian styled.
-- Tweaked weapon frequency, western weapons are rarer to buy but still show up in merchants occasionally.
-- Multiple styles of katana.

- Hero units, leading certain war parties.
-- Each hero has a unique, powerful weapon.
-- Recognisable names, 3 Japanese heroes, 3 Mongolian heroes, 1 Russian hero. (Russian hero has fictional name for now.)

- Marnid and Borcha are now Japanese/Mongolian respectively.
-- Marnid is Samurai styled.
-- Borcha is in the style of a Mongolian warlord. Uses a unique axe. (Works well on horse and on foot.)

- Towns re-assigned to different nations.
-- Castle moved to balance out gameplay.

- Wandering slave trader you can buy many types of peasant from.


To do list

- Enable you to sell prisoners to the wandering slave trader.

- Need people to do new armour / weapon models.

- More heroes, specifically Russian, a Turk hero, an English hero and a Nordic hero.
-- Implement mercy, killing, capture as slave/party member options for heroes.

- Implement Tribal race. Ready to be put in but having trouble with their spawning for unknown reason.

- Add quests.

- Fix castle fights.

- More balancing. Easter eggs, etc.

It's pretty losely based, it's sorta fantasy, e.g. the Mongolian heroes are Genghis Khan and 2 of his grandsons who were also military leaders. Anywhere betweeen 900 and 1700 would do really. ;)

What's more important about Alexander Nevsky for this mod is that he helped a great deal in instaling Mongol power over Russian principalities.

ok this is my very first post, i just want to say that the katana came in to being between the late thirteen hundreds and the late fifteen hundreds, so if your mod is historically accurate it should be set after this time.

Best of luck

heh. three Russian heros should be then three bogatyrs (on the picture) - Dobrynia Nikitich (left - also killed three-headed dragon through plowing him till death :) ), Ilya Muromets (center), Aliosha Popovich (right - don't remember about him exactly).

Or, in order to be historically exact - then it should be some famous Don and Ural Cossacks, who explored Syberia and so on...
e.g. Yermak in 1581-1582 conquered city of Iskera - capital of Tatar Khan Kuchum. In 1585 Russian tsar granted to Yermak the name "Duke of Syberia" and sent him 300 of strelets soldiers (russian gun shooters).

It's of course welcome on the Repository.

@Vector: This mod isn't historically accurate, it's a fantasy mod bringing the best parts of a long period of time,I'm even still in two minds over whether to add Japanese gunmen as they came very late on in my target zone, maybe even after it.

@Calandale: I've sent an upload request on the Repository now, expect to see it on there sometime soon. ;)

The three bogatyrs look interesting but I'll research into the other names people have mentioned also. :)
