[Evil Cereal]

And a happy end of the world!

Not really

 

[YourStepDad]

The team of the Renaissance Mod wishes you all a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year 2013.

Why thank you, but isn't it a wee bit early?

 

[Veli-Matti]

Nah, it's perfect!

Merry Christmas to you too, fellow!

 

[SMST]

What exactly are the Khergits based on in this mod? Was there any Mongolian power during the Renaissance?

I'd like them to be Ottoman, to be honest. Maybe I've played too much TEATRC.

 

[Swagg3r]

The Timurids maybe? Or any of the petty khanates that clung on until well into the 19th century. While it seems anachronistic, I believe the old bow and sabre combination was used well into the Napoleonic era (see Kalmuks).

Thanks!

 

[Evil Cereal]

How is the mod going, anyway?

 

[Veli-Matti]

Yeah, how IS it going, Bayard?

 

[Bayard-X]

How is the mod going, anyway?

Very slowly, I'm afraid.

 

[Freighttrain4]

I'm gonna give this mod a try. looks great!!

 

[anakonda]

Well this mod is great. Bayard sorry to hear that the work goes slow. Best of luck however!

 

[Bayard-X]

Well this mod is great. Bayard sorry to hear that the work goes slow. Best of luck however!

Thanks for the kudos.

In fact, the team effectively shrank to MC_RIBS - who gloriously acts as our chief architect - and my humble self - who act as our chief coder and armourer. I obtain really valuable logistics from Zimke of AOC II. The concise size of the team would actually be beneficial to the progress and efficiency. However, both of Mac's and my jobs are rather exertive and time consuming. This was not really the case when we started, but you know, modernisation is on the fence...

[cow7488]

Hello, Bayard. 
I am a person who is making the mode in Korea. Rather than different, to obtain a little note you need to use the resources of your mode forced to make a mode I have become. You should be used?

Sorry. My English veryyyyyyyyyyy bad! 

and my mod shot. 

 

[Evil Cereal]

I don't understand what he said, but I like the picture! Are those new animations?

 

[Veli-Matti]

Aside from the hat, that armour is looking fantastic! Excellent work if you indeed did it yourself, cow7488.

 

[Bayard-X]

It is indeed a nice retexturing of Narf's OSP with some additional pieces.


But unfortunately, I also fail to get the content of the message.



@Cow7488: Can you ask a friend with better English to help you?
