Nice, i'm gonna enjoy this when it's released.

 

[Odin Doomhammer]

Cool.  It's set only a few years after the Holy War mod, so some degree of co-operation with Raz might be useful.

Yes this will be fine. His textures of the Templar and Hospitaller armors are great.

 

[Raz]

We can indeed cooperate, I absolutely have no objections on you using my (most of my) items, but please ask in advance. I look forward to working with you.

 

[Matheus]

Man, I can't wait for this mod!
There is a prevision for a beta version?

Oh, you are great! I'll ask you everytime when I see a need of something your. Sorry for the previous time!

Yeah there probably will be. But first I must finish some of my items and the scripting will take a lot of time 

 

[Matheus]

So good luck!
Unfortunatelly I don't  understand anythin about modding, so I con only wish you the best luck on your work.

You should add Cool armor And if u want i can creat Awasom armor i think i have great taste in it . like whne i played ur game the first part i didnt like ur armor they were plain boring and there were like 4 of them u should make like 8 or 9 or i can make 5 more really good ones, like plate armor would be really useful in this game and mail armor Not that maila nd cloth one plate armor is the best and attracts more ppl .

 

[lukasz-Modder-]

but i really liked the Town that u can attack it that was really good satisfide me For a long time .

 

[BaldwinIV]

I hardly understand you...  But I understand that you do armor models? I have trouble with export/import of .smd files. Therefore I only retexture already existing armors. I have an idea for one stunning body armor. Possibly you will execute my dreams? 
About the system of striking cities it will barely, see it into Byzantium. Scripting is much as well complex...

Nice work! I was away for a while and was very pleased to see you working on part 2 today. The map looks VERY nice indeed and so does everything else. Keep up the good work!

 

[BaldwinIV]

My work stoped because M&B don't start. I don't know why this happened but now I can't work.  I'll try to fix the problem somehow...

 

[Matheus]

Try to reinstall the game. or even download it.

 

[Chilly5]

That's a very nice map....is the only way to move between continents via Constantinople?

 

[BaldwinIV]

Try to reinstall the game. or even download it.

I made it but still nothing. Double click on the icon, the system start loading and after 1-2 seconds it stop. 

That's a very nice map....is the only way to move between continents via Constantinople?

Yes. It is a problematic because the map is huge but it will be unrealistic to connect other parts of the continents.

Try completely deinstalling it and then installing in a different folder.

Edit:
I've got one more - format C:\

I tried the first one, but nothing. The second one will be after 20 days, when Era 2 in Imperia Online's First reals will be restarted. This mod is not death! I'll make my own mod on Knights of Honor and after the reinstal of the Windows I'll continue my work for Byzantium.

 

[Ar - Adunakhor]

Imperia Online? WTF!!! How come I didn't knew about that???
