Soon it will be released.

Не терпится посмотреть. И когда же?

[cegorach]

The patch will appear next week - I really hope so.

[cegorach]

Small changes allowed adding many more new factions to the game. It also simplifies the installation of the patch.

I can promise it will be released next week.

The new factions are:

Age of Exploration

Emirate of Granada

Kazan Khanate

Religious Turmoil

Morocco

The state of Berber nomads, religious fanatics, vangeful Moors, conquerors of of golden states of Africa and camels.

Hessen-Kassel

the most loyal Swedish allies

Wallachia ( replaces Moldavia)

during the time of the damn stubborn Michael the Brave

Sun King's Ambition

Wurttemberg

Montenegro

Orthodox mountain theocracy

+ Uzbek Khorde in MP pack ( replace Hessen)

and the infamous Bundschuh only in their small pack ( replace Granada) - especially interesting choice for all revolutionaries and alter-globalists.

Cossack infantry

[cegorach]

New factions - Morocco and Montenegro have some interesting features in the game.

These will get some new buildings marking important events/institutions

quite enigmatic - I will not disclose to much for now.

Morocco

Montenegro

[cegorach]

Set up for the three major campaigns after the new factions were added.

Age of Exploration

Lots of place to expand, no hiper-powers to worry about from the beginning.Italy is the worst place to start if you want to expand.

Religius Turmoil

Still some rebel provinces present. The Ottoman Empire is the main power on the map.

Sun King's Ambition

Crowded and deadly. Most of the map is a killing zone with small factions on the endge from the beginning.

The Ottomand are dangerous, but watch out for France !

[cegorach]

One of the newest ideas - you can see it as upgraded mounted infantry project

So here are ordinary Russian Streltsy

running

and fighting

and now see what happens the same animation is used with a horse

so we have Russian Draguny

standing

marching

and shooting

- all these activities dismounted, touching the ground, but if required to move faster they

mount their steeds

Now we have the real mounted infantry.

They also fight and charge on foot, steeds are used only to move quickly between various destinations.

First some bad news... the release will be delayed to Tuesday.

I found few errors, one so stupid and so large that it will take 5-8 hours to remove it - I made a mistake and repeated it over 100 times...

Anyway it gives me some more time to test and even add few new features.

For now some new screenshots

Ottoman Tufekci - as mounted infantry - they were professional troops in many tasks replacing the famous Yenicheri

They also fought on foot - much of the Ottoman infantry in later XVIIth century consisted of those soldiers armed with quite good matchlock muskets.

+ Montenegrin Hajduci waiting in ambush

More later.

Есть игравшие в мод? Какие впечатления, много ли глюков?

[ARCHER]

Скачал. Прикольно. Мод работает. Глюков вроде нету. Только кастомы вылетают, а компания идет без траблов.

2ARCHER

А геймплей захватывает? За кого играешь?

[ARCHER]

Нет. геймплей я не знаю.

Просто сделал пару ходов. Я сейчас в другую игру гамаюсь

[TPAXTOP]

А кто еще играл?

[cegorach]

THe patch will be finally released tomorrow.

It will add 10 new factions ( Wurttemberg, Hessen, Morocco, Montenegro, Kazan, Granada, Uzbek Khorde etc) about 150 new units and many other things - historical heroes, new shields, new animations and so on.

More tomorrow.

[cegorach]

It is 1.30 a.m here, so I am not in my best shape, but finally I can announce the release of the PATCH :balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2:

Its general purpose was to improve the gameplay and correct as many mistakes as possible without adding ( too many) mistakes none of those critical.

Overall it adds

- 11 new factions - Granada, Kazan Khanate, Hessen-Kassel, Morocco, Wallachia, Montenegro, Wurttemberg playable in campaigns + Ethiopia, Songhai Empire, Uzbek Khorde and Iroquois Confederacy for MP mode only.

- over 130 new units including so odd as Fortified Position, new dragoons and American and African native units,

- over 40 new historical heroes for several factions including Kazan, Georgia, Holland or Sweden,

- numerous new animations - including the American Natives, African cavalry and infantry,

- MP pack designed to balance the online warfare and still make it interesting,

- changes in other areas,

+ last, but not least VIDEOs as the first and possibly the last MTW mod.:2thumbsup:

I will write more later when I am more concious so here are the links

Video files - nor necessary to play the mod, but worth trying.

The main zipped file - the Patch itself

http://rapidshare.de/files/30648488/THE_PA...TW_1.5.zip.html

Mistakes and errors are unlikely to avoid for this reason please report any mistakes you spot - if theirnumber or importance is larger than expected the patch will be re-released after one week with at least the serious errors finally cleansed.:2thumbsup:

Thank you for your work. Is it possible to place the patch under other link, because i can't working with Rapid Share.

[cegorach]

I think it will happen on Saturday/Sunday - I will ask the Lords for that - it will be upgraded version with even more errors eliminated.

[Punchyk]

Ok. And one more question. Now i am playing for Poland. One of my generals has surname Lastowsky. It really was this person, or it is just popular surname?

[cegorach]

Most of the names are randomly generated - the list was made according to the most numerous and popular names in that period - this includes mine and 2 others Polish members' names.

There are 31 historical generals ( including 2 bishops - Copernicus and Skarga and 1 assassin - Marcin Mroczek) - most of them with the realistic portraits.

You have almost every single one of the most famous Polish generals - however I had more than 50 to choose from.

I have a problem with Russia - for now I have added only two - I will find more but it takes time, especially since noone proposed any...
