[Cèsar de Quart]

I actually wanted to write an intro for BG (Banu Ghaniya, not Bulgaria ) a long time ago, but I was very short on info, so it's a good thing you mentioned some interesting things, Cèsar.
I will eventualy write the intro for them, if you or someone else doesn't make one of those long ''coming-to-town'' intros that you mentioned.

When I wrote about Venice, I spoke of a land trip from Otranto, seagulls, pirates, isles, preachers, moneylenders... and winged lions holding gospels.

Have you submitted it to Cruger? Or maybe he forgot to include it, because Venice does not have an intro currently.

I probably haven't send it yet.

Unless there's an already written "descriptive intro", or someone is intending on making one soon, I think it's good to have such "historical infos" for every single faction, at least as placeholders. Hopefully, with time we'd eventually get "descriptive infos" for all factions (if there are people to write them), but in the meantime we should try to fill the void, if I may say so.
Also, it's good to check what things we've sent to Cruger, in case Korinov doesn't have them.

Nice ideas guys- I also agree that tales were a vital part of medieval life (even today if I look at politics...) and yes - of course no Dragons and stuff. By the way: I haven't seen Brubar/Tsewe for a while (Guess he's hunting dragons...) How is the progress on the companion dialogues? Or the companions in general?

Is there anyone who knows about the next realease with poland?
I wait and wait over a year for that... .

I think the next update will contain Bulgaria as well as Poland and I've been waiting for it since day 1 of this mod. But honestly, I don't know when the next version will arrive - usually, it is between several months, but things happen. Maybe some other forumer is more aware of what is going on with this.

Look at the changelog thread for that kind of info http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,142861.0.html

At this time only Arber and Bulgaria have been announced; no Poland yet.
I'm looking forward to Byzantium myself but I can wait; having more stuff to do with the existing map and factions is more important than adding new ones I think.

[NikeBG]

The first post of the Progress and Development thread (that we're in right now) has Poland in orange, same as Bulgaria and Arber. I guess it means Poland's being worked on at the moment, but hasn't been fully added yet.

Thanks for putting my nose there, Nike! Under "Buildings" you can see that marvelous cathedral as well as some tower which are not in game yet. Where are they??? And I think I never saw some of those helmets....

[NikeBG]

Aye, the cathedral is quite beautiful. I think it was made by LDK/Kovas, though maybe he hasn't finished/sent it yet?

[blitzking]

I can't tell from the info posts, does this mod have Diplomacy or not? I checked the FAQ, but that seemed to be rather outdated.

[quapitty]

Check the Changelog thread. Some elements from diplomacy are added, some not yet.

Double post because of new player banners (Dropbox -quapittys files - banners - p10)
Prototypes are French, Italian, Scottish and German

Yay, more shells and sea-themed banners!
Just the thing for me.

- 1st banner, in the 2nd row - wasn't that already a Native banner?
- what on Earth is that symbol on the 4th banner, in the 3rd row? It looks like... Train rails?
- 3rd one, in the same row... A wild boar standing on a cactus?
- 4th one in the 2nd row - a cross with serpent-heads? Now that's occult stuff right there....
- how about that (dog?) tail on the 1st banner!
- now, about the 7th banner, in the 2nd row... From what century is it? Unlike the other two ships, this looks like a galleon (if I'm not mistaken), a type of ship that was invented in the 16th century. But, as I said, I'm no expert on that matter.

All in all, a very interesting new pack. Great job!

- 1st banner, in the 2nd row - wasn't that already a Native banner?

Not like that, but similar. This one is from the princebishop (or something like that in English) of Würzburg. First proved to be seen in the beginning of the 14th century or earlier - so for me it's still good as player banner by it's date.

- what on Earth is that symbol on the 4th banner, in the 3rd row? It looks like... Train rails?

It's a - - - ladder - - - from the Italian family Della scala.

- 3rd one, in the same row... A wild boar standing on a cactus?

Honestly, I don't know. Reference (last row, second from right):

Yes, Dutch: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huyn

Man, where did you stay during biology class? Or maybe you simply don't have Beavers in Serbia? It's German. I love the idea of that dangerous beaver... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibra_family

Hm, are you sure? It's called the black Galley of Lorn, symbolising the family as descendends from royal Nors. This is from Clan McDougall.

All in all, a very interesting new pack. Great job!

Thanks - though guy.

8 stuff there, mate (for those who won't get the word-play (which is all of you, except maybe Mihailo) - here ).

Don't you remember his old nickname?
