CapNES2: Holy War (Not a preview thread.)

[Toteone]

uhhh... he was way civilized - the dude

Ahhh Barbarossa - did those diehard Paladins really break into Jerusalem to get his body where he promised to go and fulfill his promise in death?

 

[Dachs]

Somebody's been playing too much Age of Empires II. Actually, when he drowned, they just left and headed back to Germany, suffering some casualties from Turk raiding along the way.

 

[Toteone]

awwww... that's just... well I dunno
wonder how they felt about it

bummed?

 

[Dachs]

They had no leader, and there was no point in trying to break into Jerusalem with no great tactician to lead them. Most of the German knights only went because of Barbarossa anyway.

I really want to include Raynald of Châtillon in the NES, so...

Only if I can play him

 

[das]

Read "1085". The knights left him there and ran to Acre, where they wasted three years dying and waited for Richard to come.

Either way, doesn't seem like I lost a lot by not watching the movie.

 

[Gelion]

Yes! Capulet is going to mod a NES!

I preferre if it was set before the IIIrd Crusade.

More ideas later!

 

[Gelion]

bah!, kingdom of heaven SUCKED!

*one more point of respect for Stalin*

 

[Insane_Panda]

Interfesting idea. I'd vote for a full-blown Europe and mid-east NES as we haven't had a good middle ages NES in forever.

Crusades are interesting too, although I must admit I know very little of the period.

 

[Dachs]

"Interfesting"! I agree...

How would one do the map for a Europe/mideast NES, though, would it be a modification of something like Stormbringer's map for his 1815 NES, with 1150-ish boundaries? If we get that far, how would we include the Mongols?

 

[Capulet]

Hey, Kingdom of Heaven rocked.

What would be better - a full world map with the Crusades as just part of the NES, or an entire NES simply centered on the Crusades?

 

[Insane_Panda]

World mapo!!

 

[Capulet]

I need someone to find me a map of the world in, say, 1100.

 

[Gelion]

No World map, cuz its a Crusade game. Middle East Maximum like Grandmaster said.

 

[andis-1]

Yeah, no world map. I like more that idea where players are generals/ army commanders.

 

[Capulet]

Yeah okay, I was about to say, it would be rather hard managing an entire world that's somewhat unstable and not unified.

It will be focused on the Crusades.

 

[North King]

I need someone to find me a map of the world in, say, 1100.

You want a map of the local region? Because that's easy enough.

 

[Capulet]

Nah, I'll just start it in 1187.

 

[Insane_Panda]

omg world map in 1100 is easy. I can do it for you.

you just get euratlas.com maps for 1100, take whatever chinese dynasty there is, then google all of the nations of the time, and then peace it together on a map.

 

[Insane_Panda]

Fine crusades it is i guess.
