European Middle Ages Mod Resurrection

[Head Serf]

I'm sorry everyone that I haven't done very much at all with the mod over the last two or so weeks. I've been very busy with RL. Fortunately, after today or Sunday I'll have a lot more time and I'll be able to get back to work on the mod. Most likely the only new additions I'm going to do this week and include for 0.55 will be the end of the tech tree changes. I think that the new version will be a significant improvement over the last one, especially in the buildings and leader traits/personalities area. I'm sorry if the post doesn't make a whole lot of sense, I'm very tired at the moment. Anyway, I don't think the new version will be here on the 25th but will probably be here before next Saturday.

Well, here are some pictures of areas of the map that I altered. Most notably I made Sicily and Sardinia smaller and shifted Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica to be more angled.

I think Sardinia should be more north south than parallel to the coast of Italy.

Yay! 0.55 is basically ready!

All I have left to do is some basic testing and then I'll upload it. Hopefully I can upload it tomorrow evening. Here are my personal notes of the changes, minus the building specifics and such.

Here's what the new tech tree looks like. I didn't add many new techs, I decided to put that off for later. Techs in red are disabled. In this instance, I'm Hungary, so The New World Voyage and Hanseatic League techs are disabled.

Looking forward to it!

Well, I've had very little time the past few days, but I'm praying I'll find the time to release the new version today.

Sorry I haven't been around lately, but I have been busy. I am now on the development team for the Rome Total War mod, Roma Surrectum. But it's good to see that the new version will be released soon, I'll do a test game with my regular house rules to see how the AI does with the new version.

P.S. With the announcement of the new expansion pack, maybe a Warlords conversion should be done for the next version?

 

[Head Serf]

I'm sorry this version is taking forever to get uploaded. I uploaded it to 3ddownloads about noon yesterday, and they still haven't posted the file.

My thoughts on the expansion pack is that we should wait and see if Beyond the Sword will include Warlords in it. If it does, it might make sense to skip the Warlords version and just make it BTS and Vanilla compatible.

If 3dDownloads gives you a hard time, I'll happily upload it to FileFront again.

 

[Head Serf]

I've uploaded the new version, v0.56 to www.filefront.com and it is now available for download.

 

[Broken Hawk]

I would like to suggest updating the release dates on the first post and the download page. Some people might find it all confusing.

 

[Head Serf]

Oh, thanks for reminding me. I made the changes.

 

[Jet]

Download isn't working for me.

 

[jimmygeo]

The d/l worked for me. Thx. Will install and play in next couple of days (busy w a C3C scenario right now).

Did you try the link on the first page? Worked for me too.

 

[Jet]

Well, ****. The Download Now button on FileFront, in Firefox it takes me to the main filefront page and in IE it just refreshes the same page. Hmm.

 

[Craig_Sutter]

I think you're clicking the link on post #830... go to the link in the first post... same thing happened to me, but that one works.

 

[Broken Hawk]

Someone remind me why Envoys cannot explore.

I wasn't. Thanks though.

 

[Craig_Sutter]

Oh.

Only other way I can think of is that sometimes if you copy the link rather than clicking on it, and paste it to the address bar, it works.

Hope you can download it successfully.
