Rise of the Ottomans (C3C)

[spincrus]

Some pedia information suggestions on Raki:

- It's made from wines.
- It's got a strong and distinct anise flavor in it.
- It's similar to the Greek Ouzo, but it's;
-- stronger
-- has to be served with some water (that gives the pure raki its white color)
-- has more anise flavor.
-- Ouzo doesn't require water, but needs ice.

@SpincruS:

aaminion00, those texts are good! But, the anal retentive in me found some spelling mistakes.

Check that you spell quarry with two r's.
The first is in the last Honey sentence is missing a s.
Spell Anglo-Saxons in the Mercenaries text.

 

[aaminion00]

Err, SpincruS, please post those files (zipped if possible) by the end of the week.

just a question, but will any western wonders be included?

Yes, mostly rennaisance Italian, but some Austrian as well.

ATTENTION:

Just wanted to let people know, that we're not dead and this project is still going on.

aaminion00 and I have lots of other *real life* stuff to deal with, so progress has slowed down, but we are still working on it. So please contribute if anyone wants to.

 

[Sarevok]

this sounds pretty interesting. If there are things you might need help with, i might be able to do a few things.

Glad to hear you're not dead, but this raises an important point . . . if, heaven forbid, you do die, who inherits the project?

wouldnt a pre-palced hagia SOphia wonder in Constantinople make sense?

 

[spincrus]

@Xen: Well, yes that's the plan

 

[Xen]

then thats a western wonder too

 

[spincrus]

It is However, it will have the minarets in the graphics, because Ukas only made one version (which is with minarets). The AOK conversion could be used, too, and I'd prefer THAT for a true Byzantium focused mod, but since the aim is to wipe out the Byzantines pretty fast for this particular scenario (sorry Xen ), it might as well have the minarets.

 

[aaminion00]

Since I can't do much except for contributing ideas right now...

How about it changing from one era to next... is that possible?

 

[aaminion00]

Well I have a little bit of free time this weekend... SpincruS I see you're on the forumst more often lately, do you think you could upload those graphics now?

Edit: 3000th Post! [dance]

After this much time on these forums I think it's safe to say that they are killing my grades, lol.

 

[spincrus]

Oh yes, I could've done that earlier. It contains all that's present as previews in this thread...

 

[aaminion00]

Thank you! Tomorrow I'll finish the 2nd era, and maybe I'll start tnoight. Tomorrow because today I'm still a little busy and after not working on this for so long a little rusty too... I'm not sure where everything is. Boreas has voulenteered to make a new map for us, hopefully it'll be more realistic.

Anyways, tonight I'll try to add in the resources.

 

[spincrus]

You're welcome

Oh, I completely forgot about the pedia info for the rose resource. I'll get my hands on that soon.

 

[aaminion00]

Cool. Hey do you think you could make an avatar like yours but with the 92-98 Bosnian flag for me sometimes?

 

[Xen]

Hey!

just thought you guys would want to know about this guy- hie "huscarl" makes a damn fine Byzantien swoardsman, and the fact that hecan convert AOK unit means that you can poissibly get you janissary from it- that sait, ther eis a mor ehistprical AOK Janissary that didnt make it to the final cut of AOK here-

[spincrus]

XEN! THANK YOU, THANK YOU... Thank you for that janissary which didn't make to the final cut; I've been looking for that for a long time already.

The thing is, though, that even those with the pointy cone-shaped hats weren't as historically correct.

The most historically correct ones would be the Cossacks conversions.
