В самом разгаре разработка второй части мода Ages of Darkness, нацеленного на период падения Рима и последующих Темных Веков (527AD - 700AD).
Разработчикам удалось внедрить в игру большое количество новых зданий, как в ветке строительства, так и на тактической карте. Скрины ниже:

Кроме того, в моде будет очень интересный концепт строительства. Заключается он вот в чём: после захвата римского города, варвары имеют возможность разграбить некоторые (если не все) здания. Но делается это не банальным разрушением объекта, нет. Это следующий уровень развития (если можно так назвать) здания, теперь уже варварского.. Процесс довольно дешёвый и быстрый и даже приносит денег.. Но вот здание начинает работать уже не так эффективно, как прежде. И это ещё не всё - при наличии большой суммы денег, здание можно будет восстановить потом. Но даже в этом случае, оно будет не настолько эффективным, как до его разграбления. Как говорят авторы: "...welcome to the dark ages ". Для наглядности, можно взглянуть на одну из схем строительства:

Остаётся надеяться, что авторы отбалансируют и доведут до конца эту идею..

Помойму очень интересный будет мод
Поживем увидим
Особенно понравилась фича с Римскими постройками, хотя странная вещь с банями.
Все таки бани(они же термы) испльзовали Византийцы и Русичи(насчет арабов и персов не очень осведомлен)
А вот чтобы Варвары термами пользовались, это помоему в новинку.
Раз королева Леона и Кастилии(либо чегото одного)Изабелла мылась все два раза в своей жизни!

[Corvus]

Бани в той или иной мере использовали все европейские народы.
П.С. Мод интересен именно атмосферой наступивших темных веков.И помимо шикарных юнитов, авторы довольно серьезно готовятся по исторической теме.Однозначно один из ожидаемых модов на Рим.

А вот чтобы Варвары термами пользовались,

По моему, в те времена должны были мыться. Леса вырубили уже потом, проблемы с дровами для нагрева воды начались помоему веку к 11му (+-100 лет).

А почему Ages of Darkness II?Что, первая часть тоже есть?

AoD2 – a mod based on RTW/BI – starts in 527 A.D. – the year in which Justinian became Emperor.
Rome has fallen many years ago. However, the Roman Empire in the east is well prepared, its economy is still strong and the army is powerful.

]Is it possible that ‘New Rome’ will rule over the Mare Nostrum again or will the inevitable war bring it into a final decline?[/FIELDSET2]

History

The year 476 A.D. is generally accepted as the formal date which saw the end of the Roman Empire in the West.
In that year, Orestes refused the request of Germanic mercenaries in his service for lands in Italy. The dissatisfied mercenaries, led by Oadacer, revolted and deposed the last Western Emperor, Romulus Augustus.
This event has traditionally been considered as the Fall of the Western Empire.

As the Western Empire declined in during the 5th Century, the richer Eastern Roman Empire would be protected from much of the attendant destruction – and in the mid 6th Century, under the Emperor Justinian, it would re-conquer Italy and parts of Illyria from the Ostrogoths, North Africa from the Vandals and southern Hispania from the Visigoths.
The re-conquest of southern Hispania was somewhat ephemeral but North Africa served the Romans for another century with parts of Italy for another five centuries, and parts of Illyria even longer.

527 A.D.
Justinian’s reign is marked by the ambitious renovation imperii – or ‘restoration of the empire’. This ambition was expressed in the partial recovery of the territories of the Western Roman Empire, including the City of Rome itself.
A still more resonant aspect of his legacy was the uniform re-writing of Roman Law, the Corpus Juris Civilis, which is still the basis of Civil Law in many modern states.

His reign also marked a blossoming of Byzantine culture while his building programme yielded such masterpieces as the church of Hagia Sophia, which was to be the centre of the Eastern Orthodox Church for many centuries.

our content

Ages of Darkness 2 offer an authentic unit roster – the result of many years of research – for all factions within the mod.

You will become part of that exciting period.
The Roman player will prepare the economy and the troops for an expensive adventure in the West.
However, the Roman player must also be prepared for a challenge in the East.

Playing one of the Western civilised ‘barbarians’ offers several features also. You might attempt to establish an empire after the Roman model or alternatively travel in a different direction.
Playing the Sassanid Empire is also a difficult task – your enemies are standing around your country and are only waiting on the right moment to invade the rich satrápēs.

Theodosian Walls strat-map

I'm not sure if it's necessary to comment the following screenshot.
You see very clearly the Theodosian walls - protecting our capital. Concerning the coding I can assure that the strat-map model is working without any problems. The AI makes sieges as before.
The wall model as well as the houses inside the wall were made by Wundai.

What do you see the next minutes?
You see a new preview of our Britannia-set. The focal point are the Saxons, some Dal Riada units, one pictish unit, and the Britanni. Let me clearly say that the shown units are NOT complete. Several units are not shown in our new preview.
...
It is well known that the post-Roman British factions were not united (or those who thought they were Romans). Anyway, some tales suggest that some of the Britanni were indeed united for some years (even if the kingdoms stayed independent) under the banner of a strong leader at the end of the 5th - beginning of the 6th century. And that makes this scenario very interesting.
