I'd say they are, but thats just me.

Wow, this mod is actually one of the only ones that I've read on these forums that DOESNT sound like it will completely overrun the game with ****! Going to download very soon! I'm interested in its development further!

 

[AK47]

hmm, not sure what you mean with ****!,
but thanks anyway... I think

 

[Nullafy]

s. h . i . t is what was blocked.
What i meant was that this mod seems like it is well balanced, and doesnt change EVERYTHING in the game to an extreme point of being rediclious.

I have been reading through modding forums and there are lots of mods that are extreme, Im VERY new to Civ mod world

What else are you going to be adding to this mod?

 

[AK47]

Thanks.
That was basically the idea: only trying to add stuff to the game if I could give it a real functionality. Of course, I didn't get it completely right, but I'm still improving for TML3.

1. Enable the C3C civs(Netherlands, Incans etc) If possible, add the "bonus" conquests civ, the Austrians to your mod's next version as well.

3. Possibly create a missing link unit that comes between the Triume and the Frigate. Suggested name: Clipper

Good job by the way(Did I say that earlier?)

1/TML3 will have the Dutch enabled, but with a NAVAL UU instead (the Schooner). Other than that, there will be Amazons, Ethiopia, Flanders, Canada, Vietnam, Poland, each with a UU.

3/TML3 will add the Galleas in the middle ages for this purpose.

Do you have a messenger program ? MSN? AIM ?

 

[AK47]

Nope, sorry.
PM (private message) via this forum ?

Just wondering about how to add units the general game of C3C, not just the scenario? Know how?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Good ideas Ak47, that way, people can play either the mod or the Conquest epic games, depending on which civ they want to be

Who will be the leaders for each of the new civs?

Flanders? Never heard of them.

Very nice mod, I've played a few and this is probably my favourite so far. Are you going to release a version that includes the new stuff in Conquests?

 

[AK47]

Yep. TML3 (that I'm working on now) will be a Conquests version and all the new stuff will be in it. (should be out in March)

@ Sword: I'm from Flanders, hence...
It's currently the northern half of Belgium, but used to be much bigger (large parts now belong to France and Holland), prosperous and powerfull during the Middle Ages (850-1350AD). Several of the Counts of Flanders played important roles during the Crusades. We even ruled Constantinopel for a couple of decades back then.
Best known Flemish cities are Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp, where many medieval buildings remain.
You might also have heard of "Flanders Fields", where tens of thousands of soldiers died during WWI. Well, that was here too. We still got some of the trenches.

here's what Bruges looks like, and I also put the Flemish flag in there.

Hello All,

I'm about 90% done with "Conquests: The Missing Links". Test version should be ready by Friday 20/2. Because of the 'buggy' release of TML2, I want to do some serious testing on this one. The idea is to test during about 4 weeks, getting out most of the bugs and evaluating/improving gameplay and balance. A seperate, locked thread has been set up on a forum for this.

I'm still looking for about 3-4 testers. There are some criteria:
- You need to have Conquests installed in English
- You must have enough time to finish minimum 1 complete game in 4 weeks
- You should report to the forum at least 2 - 3 times per week
- I will inform everyone which civ to play with and which opponents to choose (Canada, Ethiopia, Poland, Vietnam etc.)

If you are interested, and you have enough free time, send me back a personal reply.

Thanks!
AK.

 

[AK47]

Yep, TML3 (for Conquests) is nearly finished now.

ETA: 26/03/04

AK.

 

[the mormegil]

Nice pic!
Looking forward to the 26th.

Great job Ak47!

Your Country looks like a beutiful, fairy tale kingdom like. Sorry for my ignorance. There are alot of smaller countries in Europe that get ignored because of their size, Andora for example. I've probaly heard of it before actually, its just I got confused with Florence, which was a nation in Italy where some of my ancestors lived.

Sounds like France has yet another skeleton in their closet....

Love that titlescreen, its really something. Do all the new civs have new leaderheads to along with them?

PS: And about your sig, we probably won't find any WMD in Iraq, because they were probably given to Syria, Iran, or Al-Quida. Saddam had 12 years to hide them afterall, and I doubt he'd just destroy them.

But I digress that I think the entire WMD arguement for war in Iraq was stupid. A better reason would have been to argue for regime change based upon the fact that Saddam funded Hamas and Islamic Jihad, two of the worlds biggest terrorist organizations.

 

[AK47]

well, thanks for the first part
Yep, all nations will come with their own leaderheads and UUs.

But PLEASE don't bring a political discussions into these threads. I happen to disagree strongly, but will refrain from reacting.

AK.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Dont worry I wont bring any political discussions if you dont want me too.

Could you post a preview picture of one of the new leaderheads(other than the Ethiopean and Amazon one, since, I've seen them already).

PS: Does Flanders have a monarchy? I love Monarchys for some reason.
