Is today the day? 

Even if you had nothing else, the sheer presence of Blackadder has me sold

I don't know whether this is a bug or not but it does seem rather strange for me. Across the map, I keep running into towns and castles (including those of my vassals) which have really small garrisons. This only happens for ones that have been conquered and they never get reinforced. I just ran into a castle of Gewissae which they recently took and it has a garrison of 50 men. Meanwhile, the owner (the Cyning of Gewisae) is sitting in it with 854 men in his party and whenever I ask him what he's doing, he says he's reinforcing the garrison but nothing has changed at all for the past week.

Same thing for one of my vassals, I took a castle from Suthe Seaxe and gave it to my vassal. The initial garrison of 56 men has not changed at all and when I ask him what he's doing, he has been saying, for the past month, that he is reinforcing the garrison without actually doing anything.

I see what you did there 

Diablosrouge 说:

That's what im afraid of. If that would be possible, this game + mod would be epic.

If you want something like that, check out the CRPG mod...theyre actually getting closer and closer to to that and apparently the modders have a plan to create a fully integrated version

But anyway, back on topic...great mod

Awesome mod guys, keep it up! =)

Hey guys,

Just to tell you Im still alive and on board so dont worry XD

Just that first month of my 2nd year in uni and every lecturer decides to ambush me with stacks of reading and then the admin of the uni is sending me stack of paperwork after paperwork and then i wanna go on exchange next term so thats another stack of paperwork as well. Its been kinda chaotic XD

But ill get working soon, i THINK it might calm down in a week or so...

Meanwhile my bro's been jacking my steam account and gaming and taunting me =-= Life isnt fair hahaa

when the 1257 mod reach its beta,then i am free to make some textures for you,in case you like my textures of course

I love your textures D:

Especially the Castillan, Jerusalem and the other mails in 1257, i wish every mod had that quality stuff!

Thats a pretty neat map D: A lot better suited as well

Right now the resource im reading is more Socio-economic and political so im just skimming through that for info on the lords and etc. Ill get start on the military field later on

I love 3 volume "A History of the Crusades" by Steven Runciman, if you havent read it i recommend it to you, even if its just for leisure reading. One of the best histories of the Crusades ever

Word around the Christian world is that the Byzantine emperor Manuel the I Comnenus was a traitor.

My new favorite mod.  Like the chosen period, escapes the usual fair of the Ayyubids and the like. If you need any help with regards to researching the armies of the Saracens, I'd be happy to help

Cant speak for Outlawed since hes the mod leader but i guess the more researchers the merrier? I prefer the Latins and the Byzantines anyway 

Always loved the Byzantines, pity they couldnt find a strong leader more often to keep the Latins and the Turks at bay

Outlawed 说:

You have many interesting ideas.
Would you like to be on the research team and help us come up with realistic features?
I could really use some team members about now =p

Hahaha i wouldnt mind, id love to play this mod so i guess i should 

Ill dig up all my books on the Crusades now haha! If only my room was less of a mess *sigh*

Great idea for the mod! Ive always loved that period and ive always sympathised the Byzantines...they were the bulkwark of Christendom but they were engaged in constant rivalry with the West which only weakened them =/

About the xenophobia and anti-semitism, i agree it happened but in that regard, youd have to decide whether this mod would be a darker mod with xenophobia, anti-semitism and etc or ignore it. I would be happy with either, maybe try and script pogroms against Jews and maybe the peasant crusaders every once in a while?

One awesome idea/feature, which would tie in pretty nicely, would be money lending. Many kings would often need to borrow money to pay for their campaigns and Jews were kind of well off in that they were allowed by their religion to engage in usury or charging interest on loans. As a result, this added to the hostility towards the Jews and it would add an interesting dimension, you can decide whether to borrow money from them or join in the pogroms and rob/steal!

Also, another cool dimension to be added in would be the rivalry between the Italian merchant cities, most notable of which were Genoa, Pisa and Venice. No Crusading expedition could be successful without the sea power and also the transport ships afforded by these cities and the Outremer also relied on them for trade and income and as such, they were given VAST concessions in commerce and each had their own enclave in the big cities. However, they were intensely jealous of each other which led to many a conflict between Genoa, Pisa and Venice, each trying to vie for supremacy at the expense of the others. On various occasions, open fighting and naval warfare emerged between these cities to the detriment of the Outremer They also engaged in trade and intrigue with the Egyptians most notably as well as the Caliphs of Damascus and their subjects. You could say that they couldnt really look beyond their own coffers and purses which is a very sad thing indeed.

The rivalry between the Knightly orders would also be pretty neat.

I have a lot more ideas but i think id need more time to make them coherent XD Im an avid student of history, like i live on this stuff and its what im studying at uni as well so ill try to come up with more ideas and advice and if you want, i could offer some historical info and etc should you wish it!

Im hopeless at coding and modding though! Sorry! >.<
