My thoughts about this game are: poor tactical choises bad A.I. unrealistic unit speeds very poor research on medieval armies (notably those from Eastern Europe) some units are phantasy ones West Euro centric view poor historical accuracy etc etc btw there won't be 21 playable factions, so don't get overhyped. Instead there will be only 6 or 5 playable factions (info from CA). The game isn't released so I hope that many of my point will be wrong(expecially those dealing with tehnical and programming aspects of game). ------------- |

its true that there are 5 starting factions.but then other factions became avaible(there is also a trick to do that).i heard that A.I is much much better from the blogs you said.

Yes, the trick to unlock other factions is to go to campaing generating file(*.txt) and move the faction you want to play with to playable zone or whatever it is called. I have also heard that AI is better, though unit speeds seem to be too high and it can sometimes ruin your tactics and battle turns into the clicking fest. ------------- |

It is much better for them to devote more time to gameplay and have less than 21 factions to make it a more worthy gaming experience. Aztecs don't need to be there , its stupid and makes the game historically inaccurate.

Has anyone seen any more pics of the Byzantines for MTW2? The only ones I have seen are of the "Trebizond Archer" unit and of what appears to be a kataphraktos or pronoiar cavalryman on the totalwar.com page. Google searches have proved to be fruitless.

Those are the only two units for Byzantines so far. I believe the armor on the Byzantine heavy cavalry is exaggerated because it shows them wearing rear horse armor. In general, MTW2 seems to exaggerate the amount of armor. In actuality, very few units had the armor depicted in the units of some of the screenshots. |
Posted By: Byzantine Emperor
Date Posted: 30-Sep-2006 at 01:14
How so? It depends on the unit that is depicted, in my opinion. The rider looks accurate because he has on the klibanion and a Norman-like helmet. If he is a kataphraktos, the horse armor would largely be full-body lamellar, with perhaps a plate head covering. The Byzantines did make some plate. If he is a Pronoiar cavalryman, however, his armament is a bit more open to debate for lack of source descriptions.
What do you think, based on your study of late Roman clibonophori and cataphracti? We might arrive at a consensus, since the Byzantines emulated the Roman military and maintained a good deal of continuity in that respect in the Middle Ages.
Yeah, probably. I read that the developers did not want to make the game too historical, to where it would be uninteresting to the "gamers," who are uninterested in extreme historical accuracy.

http://pc.ign.com/articles/732/732632p1.html - Here you can see the unit roster for the Byzantines. In my opinon the roster isn't very accurate (who the hell are Trebizond archers) Though some units seems to be interesting ones like "Byzantine Guard archers" --> can someone clarify if this missile infantry type ever existed ?? ------------- |

Yes I have read that too. I fail to see how can historical accuracy be uninteresting for the gamers. Appears that CA is targeting for 12-14 age gamer group who like arcade games and cliking fest. This is wierd. ------------- |

I don't know. It would seem to me that most Byzantine cavalrymen would lack full horse armor by the period in MTW2. But again, I'm not an expert on this topic. 
I guess it's pretty cool to have units in full armor. I think it's understandable why these games cannot be accurate - because they aren't made for a historian audience. For example, in RTW, if they had been accurate and not made Egypt a chariot-based army, many casual gamers would be confused as to why they don't have chariots. |

Oh cool, thanks for pointing to this! I share your frustration with the "Trebizond Archers." Some of discussed this problem in the other thread on MTW2. While the Caucasus and the mountains surrounding Trebizond were known for producing stout archers, there was no officially-named unit for them in the Byzantine army.
Yeah, there seem to be a lot of vaguely named units for the Byzantines. They were correct about the tzakones being local militia, but they augmented campaign armies and sometimes garrisoned kastra (forts).
But there was a specific word designating crossbowmen of the Byzantines: the tzangatores. These were the troops who usually garrisoned castles and kastra. I wish they had named these instead of the vague archer units!
 Some other problems I noticed from the list:
Pronoia soldiers listed under "Byzantine Infantry." The Pronoiars were almost exclusively cavalrymen, with perhaps a page or groom. The pic of the infantry looks good; they are wearing klibania.
The "Byzantine Lancers" look more like what I envisioned for the Pronoia Cavalry. Where did they get the vague term "Lancers?"
The kataphraktoi riders should be wearing both the klibanion and a chain mail suit underneath, including chain facemask and coif, if they are to be considered the heaviest-armored unit of the Byzantines. There are depictions of such riders in various manuscripts, such as the Alexander Romance of the 14th century.
The "Spear/Pike Infantry" should be called the skutatoi - this was the Byzantine heavy infantry unit.
I was happy to see that the Byzantines are given primitive bombard cannons in the late period. They did have some of these, although they were imported from the Balkans and Western Europe. However, it does not look like they will be given any infantry gunners. I think allowing them to train some hand-cannoneers (not arquebusiers) would be appropriate.

Make me one that multiplies the provinces, changes the units to be more historical, ... I have downloaded the Sicilian Vespers mod, but I have purchased, and use M2TW through Steam, and have had problems starting the mod once installed. It uses a MS-Dos starter for some reason, and I have had problems starting it up. I have been using the Regions and Provinces mod, which improves the game play significantly by adding more provinces, and proper titles, and heraldry. However, the Sicilian Vespers mod seems much more intricate, and accurate. ------------- |

Stainless Steel if you've got the Kingdoms expansion. I spent $50 getting kingdoms just to play Stainless Steel. Main reason was I was dying to play as the Mongols. But even if that's not your thing, SS is still worth downloading as it has loads of other improvements also. But wether or not you should buy Kingdoms just to play SS, that's another thing altogether.

I will have to get to that. Playing the Mongol's sounds good. They got one for RTW but it is not done yet. I downloaded Sicilian Vespers, but I have no clue why it doesn't start up. You have to select the age you want to play in through Dos. They got Broken Crescent, which focuses on the Islamic states from the Middle East up to the sub-continent. ------------- |

It's almost a total conversion mod, it feel like one anyways.

No problem man, tell me how Stainless Steel is if you play it. I played Broken Crescent this morning and it is interesting to play, SV has some better features, however, BC has a interesting groundwork as well. I tried out the Byzantines, and right now Jerusalem extensively and it is challenging, with Jerusalem you have to keep a decent amount of soldiers and take Antioch alongside a heavy focus on your Merchants to gain extra income that is lost through military pay. Richard the Lionhearted arrives in 1192; sadly as your own character instead of as a new faction as it should be. ------------- |

I don't have net at home for another two weeks, so no chance to try out this new mod. It's driving me mental not having the net at home.
I do hope they actually see Basilaea through to completion. There have been a number of communities that have been set up to make a Byz mod, yet the task proved beyond their manpower. Basilaea has only 11 modders according to their official site, I question whether that will be enough.
How playable are the Byzantines in Broken Crescent? Playing them purely in the east looks fun. You mentioned Richard arrives with a crusade, on the basis of that I get the impression this mod is one where they put a lot of thought into the detail. ------------- |

In Broken Crescent, the Byzantines are a fun faction to play, of course you are lacking all Balkan provinces save for Thrace, and a bit of Bulgaria that you could conquer. In Asia Minor you control what Byzantium controlled at the moment in 1174AD, which is a bit, but you have to economize and raise and army because the Turks expand rather quickly; which could mean a lot of lost income. The islands are rebel regions, and they should be sought out, too. The units are rather good, and historic. Furthermore, higher quality units will cost a lot of money to maintain. I played the Abbasid Caliphate, which like the Byzantines in Sicilian Vespers starts out in rather dire conditions, being that you have the Seljuks contorling most of the Caliphate, and you being relegated to control of Baghdad and Basra. However, Baghdad is the economic capital still, and you can earn a lot. With a few conquests I was able to regian most of Eastern Arabia, almost all of Mesopotiamia, and two of the Western most Persian provinces; alongside Somalia, and an Island off of S. Arabia. That enabled me a huge increase in gold reserves that procured me through a few deals with the Ayyubids Mecca, Madinah, and all of N. Arabia as well up to Aqaba. This is by 1210AD or so. The Mongols by then are close to their invasion, so now I am preparing to lose a few provinces and moved a few family members south in case that I am unable to maintain their onslaught. Although I am allied with the Seljuks they are amassing troops, and if I am lucky the two will exhaust each other, and it will enable me to take at least one of them out. ------------- |

Richard arrives as a family member of the Kingdom of Jersualem sadly. It would have been more fun if he arrived as an independent upstart faction, and with a trigger to leave after 3 years. But even with that it is still great to have a good general especially when Salah ad-Din surrounds the kingdom within ten years. ------------- |

Stainless steel is a very good mod, the only issue i have is that in their attempt to make armor more realistic they completely made the Moors and Egypt (espically Moors) roster to hell. To be fair though, CA did a much better job this time around than RTW, where the history work was ROFLAMO! to put it mildly (seriously, war dogs?)
