[NEW RELEASE SEPTEMBER 13 V1.2]Blue Blood - Description and Downloads

[_Cooper_]

Hey guys love the mod! ONly a few problems just bugs and some things dont work but thats about it, wont complain on a great alpha mod. Though i have a  question, who is the mysterious Captain Avantius i think it is. I went to every tavern within a few minutes(used teleport) and asked every traveler if they know where he is. Is he not implemented, an easteregg, a bug, or just something that you guys forgot to take out or something. 

 

[10chance]

I just got the mod yesterday, and i love it already! I really love the medieval time periods and i love that someone is trying to go above and beyond with these sorts of mods. You have my full support with this mod and if i have any bugs ill be sure to tell you about them!

      -Best Regards

Nope, not yet (I think it needs WSE), but there are four colours of barded horse: red, black, green and blue, so you should have the colours you want.

i just made a notice of the nations/Countries, and that is Norway.  Norway was not established as a country before 1814. So that time Norway was Denmark-Norway, I'm norwegian and that is wrong no offense

Wow, now that is very different from "I want my country in!". Respect. But with all respect: Are you sure? I just found that Norway came under Danish control in 1389 with the Kalmar Union. But between 1130 and then it was a kingdom with Norwegian kings and Sverre Sigurdsson as king in 1184. That's what I found so far without going to school in Norway of course.

That says that the unification of Norway originally took place in the 9th century.

 

[Mauritius zu Mainz]

no offense
according to the wikipedia article
i miss the footnotes, telling me where those informations, regarding the unification, were taken from. so this article is (until s.o. posts the footnotes) academically a failure.
i by myself have absolutely no clue about norwegians history (apart from some incidents in the early nineties, but that´s o.t.), so, until s.o. proves the opposite, i believe in Lord_Of_EVil´s statement

The poster above me also provided a wikipedia article. Take a look at those footnotes.

Well - that's pretty strange: Missbelieving in an Wikipedia article because it has no footnotes and on the other hand believing in someone's post that gives no source at all.... 
And as kevindrosario said: Check the link I gave.

So that people can find illustrations from the Cantigas de Santa Maria, or identify to which cantiga a panel belongs, I have gathered the Illuminations from codex Florencia Manuscript Banco Rari 2 (CSM 201-234), Page 2 (CSM 235-265), Page 3 (CSM 266-299) & Page 4 (CSM 301-40.  This has medium size images of nearly all the illuminations of this manuscript (unfortunately all have the Oronoz watermark) except those that have only a framework for an illumination (The Florencia codex is unfinished) and codex MS T.I. 1 (Códice Rico), Page 2, Page 3, Page 4, Page 5, Page 6, Page 7, Page 8, Page 9 & Page 10
They include some links to images of individual panels.

Mmk, I was bored and I've been slacking off on the mod for a while now. So, I made this cruddy piece of junk.

Just a simple think for the crafting weapons section.

I tried something new with the texturesheet in an attempt to make the two different textures used mix better.

[bibbinatoren]

Norway became a unified country in the 9th century, there where several civil wars after that, but we where relatively unified if I may say so. But in the 1300s the Kalmar union came in effect, where Norway and Denmark had a common king. Theres a whole bounch of intrigue and unrelated stuff in it, but Norway was a country of it's own in 1084, and so was Denmark.

The Cantigas took a lot of time, as individual pictures were scattered across the web and in a few books.
