Future (but still in v2.0): dirty water adds chance of sickness to party.

This is freakin' awesome. Best mod ever, man.

Here are some new ideas: if you' re going to add the farming stuff I mentioned, the inhabitants of the tundra could have reindeers ( deliver milk, meat and hides for really warm clothing). There are already russian " ice nomads" doing this. Also in the tundra getting clean water wouldn' t be a problem, for you could just melt the snow ( maybe around civilisation the snow wouldn' t be that clean) - BUT in this cold, the men would freeze to death very quickly. So, while the water supplies wouldn' t be a problem, the`d have a constant need for firewood ( you could use your timber for it) or charcoal ( a new thing, that could be produced). Less experienced soldiers could also tend to drink themselves if they have alcohol at hand, so they could be less effective in battles than ( with more experience, they would of course know that they' d basically suicide that way). I also thought for a long time that the player should be able to rationate the supplies, or order his men first to eat the meat, so it doesn't rott.
I don' t think it would be a good colonial good, but as supplies, the Aztaocs could plant "New World - Crops" like paprika, (sweet) potatoes, tomatoes, etc. and for meat they' d have guinne - pigs ( hope I pronounced it the right way  ). And - last but not least - in Native the travellers in the taverns tell you about taking part in a tournament OR a hunt - but it seems like the developers just forgot the hunt. I already thought about how to make this and hears a suggestion: the task is to find and eliminate your prey in time - to search for it in a big woodland - area and maybe use your tracking to find it. The one who gots his one fastest wins - or slay as many wildlife as you can within - maybe a day or so. If you win, the other lords could like you more, if they already where neutral or friendly to you, or less, if they already hated you. And to be "historical correct" tournaments and hunts should only be for noble - men or invited guests. ( I think there would be a lot of people missing the money from the tournaments, so one should be able to turn this feature off.)

A lot to write! So far: love the work already done. ( Looking forward to the banners!  )

Waiting for feedback!

 

[Quintillius]

Very immersive ideas! And I like them. But they aren't simple to implement, so let me first finish the colony feature. These ideas will surely stay in my thoughts. I have been thinking of adding charcoal and water for colonies for a long time.

 

[DerDingsreturnsnochmal]

Well, actually I' ve been looking for a thumbs up. But there isn' t such an emoticon. So here' s an imaginary one:

PS: There' s one more thing: I thought that finding gem stones in stone quarrys is a bit wierd - and ended up with the idea of gem stone- and oar - mines. As work places as well as as buildings in citys. Would be a good use for slaves ( while writing this, I came to slavering your captives from battles). If it's possible (!) even putting some workers in the mines.

 

[DerDingsreturnsnochmal]

Now I' ll leave you alone, till you' ve come farther.

 

[the kilr asasyn]

hey Quintillius! love your work, (loved playing Europe 1805 mod ) love this mod. just wondering though, will the bug that makes your troops unequip their custom armor be fixed in this next update? i know it's probably been asked already, but i must've missed it. thanks

 

[Pisatel]

What i always wanted in this mod is to make use of town houses else than just renting them to people (For now houses which you can buy look very cool but why not to make some practical use of this wonderfull modeling work?). For example if you get married your wife stays in the house but not in the town hall (or maybe an option to tell a wife where to stay - either town hall or house).
Also maybe a possibility to start not only a feasts (which are taking place in city hall) but also  dinners or costume balls (size of the celebration depends on the house size) in your house where you can choose by yourself who to invite. For example you can invite different calsses - nobility, merchants, church people. And depends how rich and well made your celebration was, the more prestige (maybe also smth else) you get. Another example - inviting lord for the dinner where you can have some dialogue with him and depending on your persuation skill, food quality and dialogue options, you increase or decrease relations with him. Maybe also an option to get a lover so you can cheat on your wife and get some advantages/disadvantages.
- Possibility to sleep in house (same as wait in town) but there is a chance of random events like - 1.Attack of assassins, random visit of a random lord and some other (if the feature going to be implemented i can suggest a lot of such events).

 

[DerDingsreturnsnochmal]

Wow, looks like I was the glimmer, setting the world on fire! Housing, politics ... . Helengar: about the assassins you mentioned: I don' t think that it is possible to implement them, but if it is: your two " guilds" could be chopped down to one: the assassins ( I' m talking of the order in the Orient). They are basically a faction on their own, but without a big army, just staying alive because of the fear they spread with their assassinations. The assassins in Assassin' s Creed are more like ninjas then like assassins, so don' t take them as an example. The real assassins kill somebody by infiltrating his/ her surroundings, which can take months, and they only do it, if their master orders them so, and this one only orders them so, if he thinks it would help the order. ( Maybe some of your old compagnions show them off after months as assassins - when they' re stabbing your back!) in a real fight assassins are masters in fighting with knifes and bare hands, but they' d rather avoid it. The other "assassins" you mentioned could just be some random guys, working on their own. The travellers in the taverns could tell you where to find them, if you pay them well and then , if you' ve got a lot of money (and good persuading too if the target' s dangerous) you could tell them to assassinate someone. They are far easier to hire and do their jobs relatively fast, but they are also far less effective and tend to betray you if their situation gets worse.

 

[delavaskez]

I disagree with most of what Helengar suggested.
I don't know why but it just seems way too unrealistic.
Ressurecting? Death? No,no.

Assassins ? I like more what DerDing said about them, scattered around the world, no one knows about them, you could randomly meet someone, save someone and in return he offers his service and reveals himself as an assassin. This can go deep.

But it have feeling like its new game. Assassins, reborn , Mafia, Crimes... - its like the mix of the new games out there...
But what ever Quin decides to do..

He is after all, THE MASTER .

 

[Germanic Celt]

In the OP, it's Adrian von Ziegler not Alfred...

 

[Quintillius]

Whoops, thanks for sharing.

 

[Germanic Celt]

No problem, and congratulations on the great mod. Seems like it's undoubtedly the best Renaissance mod for Warbamd.

 

[Quintillius]

Thank you very much  ! And it's going to be even better with v2.0.

 

[Livermore]

when 2.0 will be released?

 

[ryancup123]

Is the mod dead? If not, does anyone know when a update will come?

 

[Quintillius]

I am still working on it but my study demands much from me and the features I am developing consume my free hours like a beast.

Don't worry I hope I can release v2.0 in some weeks.

 

[Germanic Celt]

Version 2.0 looks amazing from the few screenshots I've viewed. What are all the planned (or already worked on) features for that version (besides improved jungles)?

My eye got tired after reading all of that new features, fix, and balancing
Ohhh I can't wait for 2.0 to be released!
(by the way, i don't understand about the passage in scenes bug, what is that?)

 

[Germanic Celt]

Nice list of features, but I was wondering if Aztecs (I'm writing Aztecs for the sake of not having to remember that big word) will become playable?
