Great mod!

[rejenorst]

Hi! Just wanted to say this mod is HUUUGE! And so far quite fun!

Playing the latest SVN version.

Thus far I've been playing as Lord in the HRE and have participated in Polish Campaigns.

I really like the options of buying land in Cities and really appreciate that the income from towns allow me to employ and maintain my army as is realistic.

I really want to take part in a Crusade lol for fun but at the moment the HRE is at war with Sicily and Poland. I am trying to get enough money to buy a silk shop.

I also love the damage system. Crossbows are worth their weight in gold

I got caught up in a scrum during a 1600 vs 800 battle between the HRE and Polish forces. I love the back and forth of the engaging units.

Also the unit uniforms are well thought out and well chosen.

Congrats.

I don't have much to offer but I have a website with music and a few voices/sfx. Feel free to use any of the stuff I have there: www.rejenorst.com

Also having done the native voices I can offer you a few additional death screams that were never included in the original:

Thanks for the hard work on the mod.

The horn sounds could be used to accompany the orders the player gives. I think the use of the sounds should be sparse, otherwise they will be annoying, e.g. only attack and retreat orders for the four groups infantry, spearmen, skirmishers and horsemen. That means one sound (there are seven horn sounds) would be used twice.
The AI should also use these sound, which is important in the battles the player takes part in as support, controlling only his own men.
Ages ago, I made this suggestion, but there weren't any sounds available and if I'm lucky DrThomas gives this suggestion a try.

Hey!

I'm glad you like our work!
I was actualy planing to use some of you're sounds and possibly music as well. I just didin't have the time to get to it yet, as there are many things to fix first.

UghUghUgh, yes we should try implanting that in the near future.

隐藏: p.s

Oh, and I love you're German/American voice packs.

Yeah, rejenorst's website is a goldmine for modders.

As good a place as any to add my thanks for the mod, and to praise it further.
Great stuff, mod-making people, please continue.

Indeed, great mod.

Pity I didn't stumble across this one sooner.

It's got the right look, feel and basically everything I was looking for. VERY well done.

After playing WFAS for a while and damn near falling asleep on more than one occasion, it's refreshing to get into a mod that is actually hard to put down.

I was blown away by the scale of the world map, but when I had the option to ask my liege for time off to go on the crusades... I just died and went to heaven.

 

[rejenorst]

Are you serious??? There is an option to ask for time to go on a crusade???!!

*LOADS 1257 RIGHT NOW*


EDIT: Ok cool, I asked the King of the Romans (HRE) for some time off to go crusading. Wend down through Hungary and went by sea through ports at the Agean sea. Twas a perilous journey of banditry but I didst make it. had a cool sea engagement with a bunch of looters and landed at Acre.

Was promptly invited to a tournament which I won, (Might want to remove ranged weapons from the player in future releases, not sure if its intentional to allow them as I know some of the scrums they had back then were practically brutal.)

I went to Krak De Chev to see if it was anything like the real thing since I have been there myself (during a trip to Syria), well done! I knew exactly where I was and where I was going when it loaded the scene. You even included the windmill which afik was indicated to be in the very spot the mapper placed it. 

Looking forward to playing further, I just felt the need/inspiration to make some music for a while lol.
