a very byzantine change of plans

[Varwnos]

the nice 1401 map i used for the scenario

[Varwnos]

i reworked some of the byz units (like the archer seen on the pic) and created my first final version of a non byz unit, the venentian pikeman seen in the left edge of the pic

where is everyone? :P i mean i keep posting rather impressive pics, but get no feedback still ships are needed (i only have two, and only one final version) and also some shields would help a bit (albania, serbia, latin shield) and also icons. any cool city graphics would be welcome as well although i dont mind using the ones i have also some turkish unit? oh well, i can always make my own i guess (turkish unit i mean, not the rest!)

Ooh!!!

"The city graphics drastically improve you should."
May the Emperor be with you.

[Varwnos]

pah, ok, whoever managed to see the pic was lucky back to civ2 i guess

[Varwnos]

All of the units are completed.
-serbs & albanians will have at least 3 "special" units each, from the byz mercenary group
-latins and venice have 3 special latin units, but the same for all three.

here is the pic of the latins

[Varwnos]

i also made the two special turkish units. they will also have cannons etc.

here is the pic of them, near Thessalonike


ps: whatever happened to those who said that they would help? i ended up making all of the shields. i would rather not end up making all of the flags as well though :P oh, anyway

[Varwnos]

Where is everyone?

I am facing diffuculty in finding any map that has the cities of the balcans (apart from Greece) and also of asia minor, circa 1400...

also i am not sure that i would like to use the city graphic i am using atm.

Is there any possibility that some of you will help? :P (well, for some reason it is beginning to seem very unlikely!)

anyway here is a pic of the new unit, mr Constantine Dragases Palaiologos (not my unit, just edited a bit)

[Varwnos]

all of the units made by me for this scenario. the shield units are meant to be borders

[Varwnos]

Maybe you would like to take a look at the scenario about Byzantine that I made quite a while ago. It with the Fall of Constantinople to the Latins and the final end in 1453. Has a load of self-drawn units, including Epirote, Serbs, Bulgarian, Venitian and others...ships, too.

Its called Death and Resurrection of an Empire (short DAROE) released 2 years ago I think. Should be found here on Apolyton, the Spanish Civ2 Site and some others.

P.S. Wow, my 1st post at Apolyton for month or even years...

[Varwnos]

Your scenario is certainly great, infact the map i am using is an increased in size version of the one you used for DAROE. I am trying to make the scen look as cool as yours, but generally i am not very much into civ2 anymore, and things move slowly. I guess i am not putting my heart into civ2scen-making anyway, and that is making it harder, but civ2 isnt life...

Anyway my plan is to make something like a cross between daroe and fading lights, and possibly it will just end up horribly wrong!

[Varwnos]

Anyway, little help as i had, i managed to go on with the scenario

changes: 3 seperate latin kingdoms:
-dutchy of athens (in reality it is the dutchy of athens + the minor kingdom of Korinthos)
-principality of Achaia (+ the islands of Mytilene and Rhodes)
-principality of Butrinto (epiros)

the knights order of st john is currently run by Achaia, i dont see much reason to make it barbaric

other nations:
the ottoman empire is now a nation, it takes the place of albania, which is barbaric (special units etc)

the rest remain the same:
serbia
byzantine empire
venice

here is a pic of the hadriatic + the map, almost complete. now i have to do the events etc etc etc

[Varwnos]

also a pic of the dutchy of athens, it has both angevin (papal states, yellow and white shields) and dutchy of athens (blue with white cross) units.

barbaric nations include bulgaria (1444 the battle of Varna), and minor turk states.
