What are YOU looking forward to?

Title says it all! Whether it's Prologue or the main release, what are the features, civs, maps, and other aspects of the mod that you most want to play and see in action? Will you play competitively with us and other online players, or do you have more fun creating scenarios and modeling famous battles and confrontations? Let us know what tickles your collective fancies.

Though I'm on the team, and despite my Viking leanings, I have to say I'm really looking forward to the Mongols. I don't think they'll ever play two games alike!

What was it again you recently said about the Byzantines?

That's for Prologue, not the main release!

I guess I'm not a block-training kind of guy

Here's my Official Synecdoche's Favorite Civ List

Favorite: Vikings
Tied for second: Mongols, Spanish, Moors, and English (in fealty to Wales, of course!)
Aesthetic special consideration: Slavs, Byzantines, and Saracens

For Prologue: Italians are a bit too all-around civ for me. Byzantines are surely the best defensive civ but I like something more offensive. Turks and Crusaders are probably my favourites, former being quite versatile with Observatory and Race Track and latter being the ultimate rushing civ. Saracens depend of the map, I think they are great in maps like Hedjaz or Nejd.

Non-prologue: Mongols are the most versatile, no doubt. I like Germans and Spanish the most. The least I like French and Flemish, because French are already quite similar to Saracens with their Militia bonuses (and there are lot of them) and Flemish with yet another militia bonus, and different gold bonuses (Flemish = Frenchs + Saracens?). Flemish honestly need some rethinking as I feel them slightly boring and UP.

Other things I can't wait for: HCs (visuals + cards, they are planned much carefully in K&B), maps (mainly the different strategies for each one) and civ strategies, probably online. Diplomacy and Invasion (a gametype we'll tell about someday) are quite interesting as well.

This is a public forum, Matti, and you just spoilered quite a lot about the French and Flemish. Either way, I'm satisfied with how they are at the moment, certainly the Flemish...

My favourite civs then: For the Prologue probably the Turks, although the Italians are a treat as well, and for the Quintessence without any shadow of doubt the English. I love using archery...

You not change the Flemish!

I think those bonuses have already been revealed in Friday Updates. Anyway, I edited my post to not have so much spoilering...

I am looking forward to see the Homecities. My favorite thing about a new civ is its Homecity.

Another thing I'm really looking forward to: Our improved and actually game-changing Barbarian tribes! No one's mentioned them yet, I don't think. My fingers are itching to type out some trash-talk after a successful ambush of Avar archers or Frankish axe-throwers.

What I am looking forward for aren't the civs, they are my TEXTURES. Nah, that is not 100% true. Actually, I also looking forward for Saracen and Moors, two civs where I gave quite much afford and ideas. But Mongol is a great exception, as it is just adorably special civ in the main release.

The Vikings and the English, the Slavs and the Saracens would be second.

Well, I quite like you already! As to the bolded, you don't have to look forward to them anymore, download the Prologue!

What I am looking forward for is that the main realese will complete K&B 100%!
So all the portraits, homecitys, icons, bug fixes, and ofcourse the completed civs!

My favorite civs of the prologue is,

- Turks because they have the strongest army and the upgrades are easy for the Jans and Spahis!
- Byzantine because they have a powerful defense!

Turks and Byzantine team-up =

- Turks because they have the strongest army and the upgrades are easy for the Jans and Spahis!
- Byzantine because they have a powerful defense!

Such a shame that in the real history they are enemy, eh?
You know, it is just like imagining Orochimaru become Konoha's hokage. :lol:
Sorry for spamming a bit, ehm.

Well there's a whole story behind so lets not go offtopic

Prologue, probably Byzantines. I'm a defensive player to the bone. I love me some walls, backed up by copious missile troops and towers.
Main Release... Probably Germans. I can't wait to see how they are handled, historically speaking. I'll probably enjoy playing as the Mongols the most, though... come on, that much offense is always fun!

We promise to you that Mongol will be really unique, almost really different to the other in gameplay and anyother wises.

They ride alpacas they stole from the Incans to battle.

Nah, that would be a cheat unit and I would went offtopic too far.

Thats just fucking awesome!
Can't wait to see some pics and information about the Mongols

Won't be fast...

I can definitely wait, as long as it's just as awesome as the most recent version!

Looking Up For Better Capitals In Future and better tech Icons.

Pardon me, but what do you mean with better capital? Do you mean better HC or better capitol things?

Pepp

unique building style for Byzantium and Saracen
current ones looks too common.
