The Sword of Islam (PLUS) Edition

keep up the good work,

im a new fan!

Thanks! And remember if you spot anything fishy while playing, please remember to report it, so I can fix it! :)
 
How does adding a new minor religion, Sikhism sound to people? It would start somewhere in Northern India in the early 16th century (perhaps 1539, the year Guru Nanak died), any ideas?
 
yeah do it. I can help with the gamefonts if you need it. add the Harmandir Shaib (golden temple) too.

EDIT: actually I can just do the gamefont if you want.

Ya sure, I actually have no knowledge of how to toy with gamefont, so if you could do that, that would be great! :)

As for the Golden Temple, I just CAN'T find a wonder for it!!! :mad:
Have you ever seen a Golden Temple texture? Thats my only problem, between me and adding the Sikhs! :sad:
 
The minor religions could use the same system that RFCA uses, or could be like Judaism in RFCE.

I've jsut downloaded this version, so I'll have some feedback soon.

There already very similar, there both minor religions still. I think the way Edead did it is superior to the way RFCE pulled it off. Because in SoI you can't convert to Judaism, which I think should be the case. What do you think? Also sorry for the lack of updates, but we're working on expanding the map to Greece and Libya, so that might take some time. I might just move on, and include the expansion later, but lets see...

And yes having your suggestions would be great :)


By the way, I'm moving to Toronto soon, how expensive are games there? :p
 
I have missed the dynasties directy after the death of the prophet. could you not include this?

dynasty of abu bakr / omar (should be seperate)

the dynasty of ali ibn abi talib (or like the ideal shiite believe) ali and abu bakr/omar you should seperate, because there are disagrement after ali if his son hasan is the next caliph or not, because of that this should be a seperate dynasty

osman/bani umayya dynasty (should be seperate because of him, the ummaya dynastie appear)

you could also include than the tried revolution of hussain ibn ali (may be as incident). also that after his death mokhtar al thaqafi rise up with small but very expierenced and strong soilders(maybe as rebel?). so he win the wars against the ummaya and abdullah ibn zubayr. j

or the dynasty of abdullah ibn zubayr (in hijaz)
or the dynasty of mokhtar al thaqafi (started in kufa, goes til mosul and basra)


that would be great. what do you think about my suggest
 
I don't know if you"ve ever played the fame before, but the mod starts in 750 AD, at the start of the Abbasid Caliphate and a couple years before the creation of Baghdad. J.Pride and I are currently working on expanding the map, after that I want to create an advanced start perhaps 1150 AD start. Perhaps in the future I'll fo an early Islam start, but that might be a bit boring, since this period was dominated large land empires, that stretched from the Maghreb to Transoxania. But we'll see ;)

Oh. Well I always butcher the inhabitants when I conquer cities, so never have to deal with minor religions anyways. And expanding the map - is that going to squish the rest of it, or just make the map wider?

I played a lot of SoI a while back, so I've played as most of the civs already. I might give the Caucasian civs another go, and try out Byzantium and the Egyptians sultanates. That's is on top of playing a modmodmod for RFCE.



$60 is the average for a Ps3/xbox game. PC is somewhere around there. Living here in general is expensive, but I'm 16 so I don't worry about that.:king:

I'm going to update the game again to the most current SoI version, and I will continue progress as the map seems to be taking longer then I thought. As for the map size, it will just get larger not get squished. The current problem now is to make sure that the new areas added are proportional to the rest of the map!
 
any news on the map expansion J pride and Turk? Eagerly awaiting it.

I'm currently changing computers, and moving altogether to Canada, so I've been quite busy. I don't know about J Pride though, I would hope that he's made some progress!
 
moving from turkey? Canada's a nice country.

Yes. So give me a couple weeks to get settled and all, and I will begin to re-examine where I can look into. But for the mean time, I too am waiting for J.Pride!
 
Hello,
i've downloaded this mod and copied the folder "The Sword of Islam (Plus) Edition" to my "Mods" directory (as any other mod). After that i've tried to load the mod, but it crashes and return me to desktop. What's wrong?

I assume you remembered to unzip the file?

Also do you have the original sword of islam? Not sure if you need it but it can't hurt to have it.

of course, i unzipped them.. but i dont have original SoI, maybe will try with it. I just wondering because the plus edition is the same size as vanilla SoI and dont have too much changes so far, it should include it too.
