[MasterArcher]

Who is the mod coming along?

 

[MitchyMatt]

Any news or updates?

 

[wildhorse]

Some pics wouldn't do any harm...

 

[teun557]

will you be able to pick you relegion at the start?

 

[Fahnenträger]

will you be able to pick you relegion at the start?

We discussing it, and most likely yes.

How much more intill its finished?

Dont know. It deppends of some new features what we testing now. If they will work so we will include it in mod and that will take some time to make it playable.

This would bring the mod to another level of awesomeness, though it's already incredible...

We will make new skins.

This mod looks extremely badass. I saw mention of assassinations in the first post, but couldn't find it explained, how will that work?

It is secret information. If I tell you about it Then I'll have to kill you. 

-Will you put Balian of Ibelin's sons as lords?

Ibelin family is represented in mod. Ibelins will have their own heraldry.

Spoiler

If these are Templars I would not say they are historically accurate.

only ahistorical thing on them are the "aliettes" shoulder pads,they were invented by the end of the 13th century

Can you share with any sources about aliettes ? I mean the time-frame.

Still arguing about the paint on a damn helmet? Find something a bit more constructive to do, for the love of God...

Historical accuracy is a very interesting and debatable topic.
Kindly refrain from insulting those who enjoy it.
Thanks.

Yes it is very interesting and useful but we take into account only the information, confirmed by sources. Proof links please.

doesn't matter,but anyway the allietes are late for the mod period

EDITED:
It is 29 years close to mod period (if we count the end of the forth crusade) , that's pretty close, why not to use them.

 

[tegalad]

Are you guys seriously arguing about when they were invented?
I'm pretty sure somebody had thought of fixing metal plates to their shoulders before that time. You can't really talk about an invention date.

How long time have you lived buddy? Have the military changed since you were born? Yes.

There's no way to rule it out, but you have to rely on what you know, if you start assuming what the knights wore or didn't wear, you'll quickly end up with something that isn't historical accurate at all.

You wouldn't suggest adding an M16 to a world war two game because it was invented within 29 years of the war's close. Why is it more exceptable if it's set in the 13th century?

 

[tegalad]

Because
a) the M16 has an exact invention date and
b) because nothing much like the M16 existed before it was invented; plates of metal fixed to the shoulders, however, are an idea anyone who has two metal plates and is going into battle can think up.

 

[FrisianDude]

CAN think up isn't the same as 'has thought of.'
