well, isnt for be bad, but find team that can make textures or AI is hard, but you could wait for someone interested....

dont worry,just wait, and good luck

yeah... I figured it would be hard, but until then I can just do both of them on my own, it'll just be alot slower than it would if I had a team.

Btw thank you, this is my first time leading a mod.. I've worked on a few bf1942 mods, but never lead.

well, the most necessary for a mod are:
-texturer (buildings, units, etc)
-UI and artist designer (UI ofc, flags, politicians pictures, techs pictures, etc)
-and MAIN CODDER

Why don't you merge it with K&B to make the best medieval mod ever?

Quoted from arcalion:

true..... I didnt really think about an artist.... all of the flags are done (including the byzantine one) along with all of the tech pictures. The politicians ill probably need a designer for, but thats going to be one of the last things I add to the byzantine civ. So I can take my time trying to find one lol.

Quoted from John III Sobiesk:

it was already merged with K&B and as of now they have all of the files from this mod up to the alpha update, but this mod had potential and I thought it was a shame that it died in alpha, so I picked it up from Argalius to finish it. Plus I wanted a mod focused on the Crusade era, and specifically on the crusade. K&B does have a "Crusade Chapter" but thats not the main focus of the mod. They are also focusing more on the militaristic point of view of the crusades, and I (just as Argalius did) wanted the mod to focus on the religious point of view. (ex. religious units like the jihadist, and pope, and zealot etc. etc.) plus ive already made a homecity, flag, and 2 unique units for the byzantines, and i'm working on buildings unique to byzantine culture and the cards. So we are kind of merged bc they will be using all of the files from this mod up to the alpha stage freely as they wish, but they just wont have anything after the alpha update.

wow!! all the HC, flags, and textures for byzatium? nice... but my great question is:
why ever medieval mod is about crusades? nobody try a remake of AOEII

wow!! all the HC, flags, and textures for byzatium? nice... but my great question is:

yeah, I know right? thats the product of working for 3 days straight and about 2 hours of sleep..... I still have a long ways to go though.... I have to make ALL new units for byzantium bc its a whole different culture. And in a sense K&B is kind of a remake of AOEII bc it focuses on that time period, but I chose to do this mod about the crusades bc it was always a hobby of mine, and I always hate to see good mods die before ever being completed, so I chose to finish this mod lol.

well, finished it about crusades (inst the same that AOEII REMAKE)

And in a sense K&B is kind of a remake of AOEII

Don't ever say that! Just kidding, but there's a certain sense of truth in it... For example, AoE2 focussed solely on the military side of the middle ages

Quoted from Jeremy Clarkson:

(and not very well)

whereas K&B will also involve quite a lot of base building, and is in that sense more like Settlers or any ANNO game...

PS: Quite looking forward to seeing your Byzantine units...

@arcalion, that's true... But it'll be different trust me lol.

@peugeot, I'm looking forward to your mod.... He'll I might just even buy the expansions for it lol. I love base building games and mods.... As soon as I get back I'll give the ppl on here and on moddb an update of wat I've sone so far, and post a pic of the new Byzantines units for you. So far I have the skuotatoi infantry and cataphract cavalry, completely done, techs and all. I'm still working on a kinda of militia unit though that the Byzantines used as border guards/peasant farmers lol.

Ps. Sorry to the both of you for any misspelled words, I'm doing this off of my iPod touch, and it'll prolly be like 4-5 days till I post any pics or make an update bc Im on vacation and accidentally brought my work laptop(ironic right?). If you wanna see any pics of the Byzantine homecity, or the units before I cleaned them up, their on my mods page on moddb.com

That would be Akritoi... In K&B they're armoured skirmishers, waiting to see your interpretation though...

Lazy me says: D'you have a link?


peugeut407

I told you peugeot, they are Akrites

chris17 and his patriotism with his nation

hey, you would post any showcase?

hey its not patriotism. i just want to let him know the correct name

i know chris17.... you really are weird XD

so, any updates?

I told you peugeot, they are Akrites

lol I already knew that you guys.... and I'm going to either have them as a kind of minuteman thats trainable from the town center, or im going to have them as a kind of "tech" trainable by the settlers, so if your villagers were under attack you could retreat some into the town center and spend a little gold to instantly upgrade the villagers you wanted into Arkrites. The only problem is, is finding out how to program it to where only the settlers I clicked to upgrade into Akrites upgrade, and not ALL of the villagers. :/ it'll involve some experimenting lol.

hey, you would post any showcase?

consider this my first showcase lol.


-these are the byzantine cataphracts (first age) and the byzantine Skuotatoi (first age) i did some cleaning up on them too... so these arent the final products, especially the shields, the shields now have a clear eastern orthodox cross, and a clear PX symbol which was the first two greek letters for Christ that constantine commanded his army to paint on their shields.


-this is the byzantine homecity of constantinople... which is essentially the ottoman homecity, but with byzantine flags, and I renamed the buildings to fit accordingly....

Those units don't look half bad!


peugeot407

kataphraktoi and skoutatoi... nice, i like them. but the letters were XP and not PX

lol chris.... i got most of my information off of wikipedia, and an American book I got, so sorry for the bad spelling. Lol oh well, it doesnt matter when the x and p are overlapped.

p.s Thank you peugeot! those were only the second and 3rd textures i had ever done.....

are you kidding me? it is very good.... you coming here and have maked 3 units? wow, nice.... so K&B, hurry, have a competition XD

Very good job indeed.
I am always poor at making horse textures.

hey real chinese, you have you mod finished?

Thank you guys lol maybe, but you gotta realize I cant do graphics.... at all, and that and scripting the byzantine ai is going to hold me back. lol not to mention im going to slow down a bit since school is starting.

hey real chinese, you have you mod finished?

yeah, is it done? it looked like a really interesting mod.

To anyone that is actually following my mod, I have a trojan (which I thought was a java update) on my gaming computer, so I'm having to back up all of my files and move them to my laptop I use for work and school. In conclusion the progress onthe Basilica and the True cross has been delayed. The true cross is essentially done, I just need to make it trainable in the Basilica, and maybe add one more ability or so, as for the the Basilica the texture is done, but thats about it.
