20.03.2010 - Pirate town Zendar is done. (Preview in screenshots section)

06.03.2010 - Ibokula is currently quite busy and I'm just waiting him to complete galley ship model. Then I can texture it and quickly add into the sea battle scenes. So all I'm waiting is Ibokula, then I can continue working.

03.03.2010 - Voice commands are nearly done. Thanks to Outlawed, the voice actor we will hear his voice a lot while we playing.

26.02.2010 - Ride bonusses added. Having a donkey now gives +1 Inventory Management, Camel gives +1 Pathfinding

21.02.2010 - Anti-Cheat system added. I just completed the script which blocks any cheats including gold or xp cheat and character import cheat. If you try to cheat in this mod, eventually the game will be over at next midnight.
It will block
- Adding gold and xp in cheat mode
- Importing an overpowered character
- Teleporting
- Healing in battle with cheat

+ The system will expire after 30 game days. Except teleporting and healing, they'll continue to being blocked during whole game.
+ Speed cheats like pause or slow-motion will never be blocked.

21.02.2010 - Recruiting voice actor. I need someone to vocalize commanding orders. So PM me if you have a sonorous voice.

There is no release date, please do not ask anything about it

Thanks...

[Venitius]

Looks rather promising. Good luck.

[CinuzIta]

well, actually it seems like a good mod...waitin' for the release...good work and good luck!

[Adorno]

You certainly know how to present your idea 

Will you be keeping the 5 factions as they are (just expanding troop trees),
and is there a background story to this second age?

[Luumuvaras]

You should ask if you could add that Animations Compilation too. I would like to see lots of forest too. I miss Mount & Blade old versions forests. You should make larger troop trees for each faction.

[Thomas]

Good Mod
Good Luck!

[phillo99]

Well this looks pretty cool.

[FrisianDude]

At least you've got a beautiful opening post.

[iimuli]

Sounds very nice ! I dont like the arena thingie in the game, just a 40man deathmatch which is kinda boring. You could you add something like 1v1, 3v3, small sieges, different equipments, higher bets and so on. That would be awesome

[armyguy31b]

You had me at my own Kingdom

[CinuzIta]

At least you've got a beautiful opening post.

no doubt  about it!!

Agree, just for the effort put into the thread, we shall download it and try it as soon as it's released!
Good Luck!

Nice presentation! now thats a good way to get people's attention.

The mods look promising, I'll be keeping an eye on this. One question about artillery, will it be for open field battles only? is there a chance we may be able to take a Trebuchet and blast a hole in those damm one-narrow-ladder-crowded with enemies castles?

just asking as sieging is the one part of the game I hate.

uhm...i think i've already seen a thread about it...and sadly, if i remember well, it isn't possible to destroy the wall during siege (even though i have a remember of the gates...i think they can be destroyed...)...well...i think that artillery is only for open field battles...

[Ruthven]

Looks great.

CinuvIta: Your sig is awesome.
