Europe 1080 mod - General Discussion

[Mikes da Melfi]

Thank you for everything you do, your work allows us to play with passion! The only criticism that I wanted to make concerns the Sicilian faction, which at that time had as its capital the city of Melfi, but unfortunately does not exist in your map, as there is the city of Salerno, became the capital after Melfi. You could implement them in a future update, so make it even more realistic map and the game! Thanks for everything! Of course I'm available to more historical information, images and how to serve you.

P.s. sorry for my English

[Dimos]

Your english are good and your proposal important for our work. The mod is currently mooving too slow since Jubal lacks the time to script for us. I have made some new scenes, and if you like I can show you a bit of them...

I will be happy if you like to share anything with us. From infos to ideas or criticism all are welcome, if done with love for the mod and passion for history and medieval adventures...

Thanks a lot, Dimos

Like I said, this is the situation of the Kingdom of Sicily about 1080, with capital of Melfi.
If you want to explore a little history and you can see here pictures of Melfi:

I'd like to see the new scenes that you made.

Hey Dimos, just wondering, if it were to help you get moving again, what exactly do you need worked on in Python? I'll see if I can fill in for Jubal in this regard. Admittedly whatever I do probably won't be as good but I might be able to fill in.

Sound good?

- Phoenixguard09: Can you talk to me in MSN ? I will tell you what I need, I'll also ask Jubal to send you the files. Thanks in advance my friend! 

- Mikes da Melfi: I'm gald you're supporting us, Mikes. Your request must be noted. The only problem I fin to that is that it gives a better feeling to have Naples as a Capital, like I did in Hungary, which should have had Esztergom as Capital since Budapest was 2 cities at the age, Buda in the East and Pest in the west. I must think of possibly re-working on both cities... I'll post some scenes as soon as I can. Thanks

[Phoenixguard09]

Aaaah Dimos, I understand personal preference but I'd vote that you should at least add the city.

I've got to get some time free on the other computer but I'll see what I can do. I'm busy for pretty much all this week with a tennis coaching course but I'll try and figure something out.

Cheers,

[Dimos]

glad this project isn't left to rotten... Thanks PG... 

I simply tend for balancing reasons not to add so many towns in a place and few in another... Adding Melfi means the removal of Naples (at least as a city, which isn't so good IMO)

[Phoenixguard09]

Well Melfi was the capital. Perhaps Napoli should be just a castle? What does Mikes have to say on all this, seeing as he brought it up and is Sicilian?

[Mikes da Melfi]

I agree with you Phoenixguard09, at that time was the capital of Melfi, then it would be more historically appropriate that Melfi was the city, and even Napoli castle, but if the home owner, the friendly Dimos, believes that Naples has more charm .... But Melfi Castle is at least!

[Dimos]

A new scene for Edinburgh. I've also done a new one for Inverness castle and Edinburgh tavern. I think they need a bit of polishment, and that can take a while, but after that we can have a limited edition with the new scottish scenes.
In the above scene there is both a walled town and an un-walled port. Is it good? 

[Phoenixguard09]

Mate, I can only see Inverness, I think Edinburgh Tavern's not showing up.

It looks great but it does look a bit bright up there. Don't suppose you know if skyboxes are edit-able in 1.011 and if it's possible to have them differ in different places?

It might be a good idea to ask around (Jubal perhaps?) because then you could have it all dark and dingy in England/Scotland etc and nice and bright and sunny in Italy for example.

I dunno, just a suggestion but definitely looking good mate.

[Dimos]

Well that was supposed to be Edingburgh. I will show more pics soon. Inverness is depicted as something like a motte and bailey, a wooden tall palisade and a stone castle keep and some secodary houses made of wood or stone.

Here it's Inverness:


More pics from edingburgh are coming...
The previous that's showing Edingburgh shows just a small portion of the city. 

PS: about the skyboxes, I am a texturer, I can make new ones, but trust me, if you see that city during winter, you'll understand it's not worth changing anything...

Epic mod ! if you can add some musilmans clothes that would be cool

[Cuddly Khan]

Yeah, if the Mount and Blade section of Exilian could be active would be cool too. (Not insulting you but everyone else that made these mods)

[hamza]
