Here are some new shields for Republic of Venice and Duchy of Milan
(http://www.imagesforme.com/images.php/i11315_somenewshields.bmp)
Well, looks good from where I'm standing
Hope you'll have alpha version ready soon for us to try it
the shields look very good, especially the Milan ones
and btw i think the map needs to be fixed up a little bit (the upper-left part)
OK, it's now fixed. What do you think about it ?

I will smooth the shores a bit, but I need to take care of the mountains first
Yeah, it looks much better now (http://ganjataz.com/01smileys/images/smileys/OdBall-thatworks2.gif)

EDIT : I have retextured an armor model from Medieval Fantasy mod... It is going to be used by Milanese broken lances along with the other one from OSP armors

Green and white. GOOD colour scheme.

For some reason module system is not working for me...... I tried everything but I can't see what is the problem so development of my mod is halted until I fix the problems...
What's not working?
Well it's hard to explain ... But I did everything from this tutorial (http://forums.taleworlds.net/index.php/topic,5408.0.html) and it's still not working ... Btw. I'm too busy this week and I will probably try to fix it around Thursday or Friday
Any luck on this yet?
Nope... I have started a new mod .. But I'm still working on this one
The other one is a fantasy so it's easier to make
OK, post it when you have something to show!
Well done on the Patrikios thing btw too.
by this time Naples was a Norman kingdom, so some Norman Knights would be cool. Also, some Swiss Guard as the bodyguard of the Pope would be cool.
OK thanks for the information... But I don't think that I'm going to continue with work on this mod... Although I might upload those things which I have made if somebody else wants to continue it...
