Any news?

I'm loving it so far! Keep up the good work! By the way, are you still going to
update this?

Can you give us a list of the factions? And is Byzantium reformable after you unite the successor states?

Here's what I noticed, playing as the Byzantium.

1. Bulgaria's AI hasnt changed. They remained passive and only until they were attacked by Serbia did they started moving their army around. Yes, army. They barely seem to train troops. Also, their troop composition only consists of auxiliary and militia troops. No horses. No archers. No variety

2. There are a lot of rebel settlements that are still barely touched by the time I wiped out the Seljuk Turks. Also, it crashed and won't let me continue my game every time the turn comes to the rebel's.

3. Venice somehow kept declaring war on Papal States for each of every turn I make. I wonder if this is a bug coz I've seen this problem with another mode I tried before which ultimately turned me off. Everytime u press end turn, you'll see a notif about Venice declaring war on papal states.

This has significantly improved and but would still need a lot of improvement. I think the rebels not handled properly by AI is what caused the crash that I cant override no matter what I do. Sadly I think my campaign as Byz is lost.

I made it past 100 turn, and then it suddenly crashed and won't let me get into my saved game anymore. I think the crash happened only several turns after the script about the Mongols coming appeared. I think that's where the problem is.

Here's what I noticed: The range of distance for travelling is somewhat idk. Makes it harder to sally out and defend new conquered cities because the travel range is so short (For example, if u come out from the castle below Naples.) I wish there was also an option to convert settlements to castle or vice versa.

Btw, I like the new concept of the mod. It is refreshing and differs from other mods for Med II in a unique way. I really like it. I wish it was more stable. Hopefully, it will get to be more stable and translated completely.

It's a great mod. Visually. Unfortunately, it crashes randomly. I haven't even made it past turn 20 I think. Playing as Macedon btw.

The Caravan Guard, I just found out, exists in the Byzantine roster but never have I ever seen it on the campaign. Please include that on the fixes for the upcoming release.

I've been playing as the Byzantines in this wonderful mod but never have I ever seen the Caravan Guard let alone recruit them at all. That's odd. I think I've had many merchant guilds since I tend to conquer from Byzantine Borders to Persia but I never been aware of this being available at all.

I can't wait to play as the Byzantines in this upcoming release. Hope the release will be soon. :))

Truce Break every other turn plus passive A.I. Needs more improvement

The Green Turks in Persia, starts with "S" they have a certain unit that's got a silver spear - that's what might causes the CTDs i encountered. You might want to check that out

This mod crashes whenever I try to launch a game like for instance, when I click the Byzantines, it will just load and once the loading is done, it just boots me back to the desktop. And that's also after applying LAA on medieval exe

Ok. So where's the file?

Yes, I did apply the fix and you're welcome friend.

Here's what I noticed with the game and the new fix:

1. Yes, the CAI did improve a bit although there were instances when they were still passive. Like the Bulgarians in my game, as the Byzantines, I conquered two of their settlements when they attacked me. Later on, they decided to ally me and went against the Cumans. It literally took them more than fifty turns before they managed to conquer the town outside of Sredets because they just kept sending small stacks. Idk what the reason for this is but I find it weird.

2. Still, I'm glad you're doing something about the recruitment coz it's what turned me off to continue my second campaign as the Byz again.

3. I wish you would have ancillaries like for instance with the Byzantines: Exarch of Italy, or Rex Sicilae if you manage to take control of the entire region. For me, it adds so much flavor and it is what I loved in Stainless Steel. Don't get me wrong. I already like the new additions you made which sets this mod apart from the latter (like the settlements)

I just wish there were ancillaries (titles like Dux, Exarch, Emir, Catapan, King) for this to be more "role-play" type of thing if you catch my drift.

Wish you best of luck and will await your new updates. Rock on!

The mod has a lot of potential. Graphics are nice.

What I noticed are the following tho:

1. The A.I. are somewhat passive even (in Easy Mode) compared to other mods like Stainless Steel or Bulat Steel.

2. Playing as the Byzantines, after taking Sis in Armenia Cilicia, I was expecting to be able to train my Byzantine troops but it turns out I can't. So what happens is that in order for me to retrain my units which were trained on fortresses or citadels, I would have to go back to Adrianople.

3. I wish there were ancillaries like King of Jerusalem once you conquer the area or King of Sicily, King of France etc.

The passiveness of the AI is what made me decide to stop playing the game for now and wait for your fixes. Hopefully, you'll see this and reply.

Great game, ngl. But it defo needs a lot of improvement for it to be greater.

You said not to overwrite the old fatw folder. So how are we going to place the new fatw folder inside BI? Won't that, technically speaking, overwrite the files? Please clarify. Thank you~

It boots me out of the game whenever I try to start a new game.

Cant wait. Are the Byzantines still here?

The Mongols in the previous version was what made me stop playing as they are too hard to beat. Nonstop full hordes coming at you like wth

Is this mod still in development?

How's it going?

It's a bit unstable for me. Any updates?

Will this be updated?

It says failed to find steam

This is somewhat confusing for us. Could you at least show some pics or be more comprehensive in your installation guide? For starters, I don't even know where to begin as your installation guide is lacking. Thank you so much!

Is this one still being developed? Damn, I'm so looking forward to this if it is! Glad I was snooping around on this site because I found this one promising mod!

The AI here is kind of broken. I've tried like three byzantine campaigns right now on medium difficulty and the common problem I have is this: the AI loves to gang up on you even if you have alliances. What's worse is they don't seem to fight the others which is nuts. They SOLELY focus on you. Like my latest, the crusaders and the ayyubids are ganging up on me all at the same time when I'm just about to reclaim Anatolia. Don't forget about the Turks.

Please fix the AI behaviour in this one. This got so much potential though. In my Stainless Steel or Broken Crescent campaigns, the AI wasn't anything like this at all. Please fix the diplomacy issues in this thing coz I really like the game.

I've been trying to copy the link and paste it here but it won't let me paste the entire link.. Only the mega.nz site shows up when I pastes the comment. Is there any other way I can send the files though? Would love to go back to playing Tsardoms again :)

I'll just type it I guess coz every time I copy& paste the link, the full link wont show up
