Dimos, you may have noticed that on the main site, we have a gallery for images from various mods. (http://exilian.co.uk/gallery/) Would you like me to make a gallery for you, and give you an account, so you can add your mod screenshots to that, and simply direct people there?

[Jubal]

I just realised...

You have the mod at EXACTLY the right period for Hereward the Wake! Seriously, adding Ely and the fens as a mini-faction of Saxon rebels under Hereward would be seriously cool.

Hello guys. Another day, comes near it's end...

At least I took advantage of my time to work on my mod.

I have finished the Turkish, Venetian, Scicilian and moor troop tree the last two days... Meaning I still have to do Hungary, the mercenaries, the Knights Templar (minor neutral faction) and maybe tweek some troop trees...

I will now indroduce some screens from the mod. I will have more sceenies -for each faction- posted here anytime tomorrow.
I also have to work on NPC'S and Lord names. Some of them are already done, though...







more to come...

EDIT: Scenes... I have finished Odense village scene. Many new ones, from Jubal's SR as well.

[Dimos]

Guys...

Why such a luck of interest? The mod is keep progressing though. All factions are done. Now I will do some changes in the mercenary troops and some other troops I have in my game. Also I will finish the NPCs and the Lords name/equipment

I believe we are closing even more to the first release of the mod!!

Pictures coming soon ...

[D1SC0 N1NJ4]

[Dimos]

Maybe a basic Firt BETA will be up tomorrow.

Hope you'll enjoy it!

This mod is truly a beauty, can't wait to get my hands on it. :-)))

[Dimos]

So... Here it is if you would!

http://www.filefactory.com/file/ah924g5/n/Dimos_Europe_1080_mod_0_1_BETA_rar [download links will contain all future updates and fixes]


This is a Basic release of the mod [BETA 0.1 version]. It has some minor [and easily fixable] bugs, but it is still 100% playble and gives you a good amount of fun and a nice time. I want to thank Jubal for his scripts and for hosting the mod in exilian, Andeg for his map base [which I personally refined, adding mountains, forests and smoothing shorelines and rivers], MISHO, for his exellent work and Pants! as well. My mod's first BETA, includes many of my textures [hope you like them], my work with the troop trees, lords and mapping [city placing, tweaking]. All those stuff can give you some evidence about the further development of this mod. I hope you'll have a nice time playing my mod and you'll enjoy the whole lotta thing.

Feel free to comment, request and corect me. Even if still not 100% finished, I want to believe that this mod will be warmly received by m&b players.

With total respect to all of you, Dimos

[Jubal]

I'll DL it soonish hoepfully.
