Discussion 0.95pre

This is a pre-release version, it is not save compatible, and it will not be save compatible with future versions.  It's a testing version, fully playable, however things will change and a lot.  If you feel adventurous give it a try and see if you like the wages, combat tweaks and everything else that was put in.

It contains lots of new stuff, including the diplomacy mod, reinforcements and recruiter mod, music and much more.  It is also now available as an installer.

I intend to update this often, no patches though, they take too much of my time

- keep in mind the map is still WiP

I would appreciate feedback on combat balance, and, well everything really.

give give give!

I hate DSL upload speeds, that and this thing somehow grew to 500mb, about the size of the game installer.  What the....!

Oh yes, and I disabled all Sarranid stuff to save memory.  So if you're looking for Sarranid stuff it won't be there.

Cant wait, is this on the new map or still on the old one?

New map.

Would it be possible that the knight armors and other armors with cloth get the same flag as you have? So that your army really gets your color instead of only the shields.

I will give it a shot!

That was to add some players with the same prob in this topic

Looks good, othr, I am really looking forward to finishing my studies for today and hopefully test this out tonight.

54Mbits=> 1h....

Downloading.... I'll try it this night!!!  (damned internet key  ))

Please tell something about new features...

Sweet! Downloading it ... um ... I'll be able to install in in ... um ... about 2 hrs. Worth the wait. 

I just finished the downlaod and ran the installer, not having a job has its benifits it seems, and ran into something a little strange. I ran the instaler and imidiatly it stated that the mod is made for version 1.113 and it also said that I had version 1.001 or some thing like that. According to Steam I have version 1.112. In the end it let me instal it but said that it will "likely not work". Any idea why this hapens?

I'll let you know how it works out after the instal.

FEEDBACK:
-May be the Lithuania in pink and Novgorod in blue.
-Lots of glitches on the map.

Yes, the map is the low-quality WIP version of the week before last week
Othr also altered it ...

Feedback:
-Wages are good, though the increase from tier one untis to tier two units seems a bit steep. Still managable but steep.

-Cavalry is a terror on the field. I have yet to fight a signifigant cavalry force but from what I have seen from what I have done from my horse they may be a little over powerd. At a moderate speed I can cut down sea raiders in mail armor and knights-erant with a single stroke of the sward I started with, geting between 120% and 130% speed bonous.

-I don't like the faction color for England. It is a minor thing but there you have it.

-The village that is granted to the player starting with England is in Scandinavia.
