In my opinion the game was enough close and luck was pretty even till the last turns.. I have to say I'm not a 1v1 player and i haven't played with Saracens many games (not more than 10) so you can say Saracens are a bit overpowered against dwarves but one test is not enough.. You should try playing with different players in different maps too :wink: :P

I am having trouble opening the replay... it can't open "Saracens Mixed Fighter 2". I reinstalled the most recent version from April 23rd already.

I was wondering if the "load replay" function only sees default era? I have no clue why, but I can't load another replay (this time missing Saracens Archer 2) using default_dev 0.16 either.

Clueless!

You probably need to load it from Multiplayer -> Human vs AI -> Load Game...

It still doesn't work, but I get a different message: No sides available.

ok this is version 0.16b

Noy and I did some major cosmetic work last night to get this stuff rolling towards release. Here is the default dev folder with updated files. 1 new lvl 2 unit, 1 new lvl 3 unit (with art :) ).

Hope everyone likes it. I playtested it and everything worked great for me. I did make the new units recruitable so people can take a look, they will be made unrecuitable agains in .17 or whatever.

Have a good day

Forgot to add to changlog that I changed the archer ghulam png a little bit and created a ghulam png since one did not exist and it was just a duplicate.

Download doesn't contain the .cfg file. That is a problem, right?

Well as it was meant to be an update to the previous download, no. Just download that one first and than paste this one over. Easy peasy.

And get your ass online winter, I am back from the store!

The cost of "infantry veteran-Arif" is 18, idem for immortal.

and Glaznid, rami al nuri and life guard are lv1 unit...instead of 2,2 and 3.


Great faction, i love it !!! Now i have to test it in the battlefield.

Team colored saracens images for levels 1 and 2. There might be a few problems with them, since I didn't test them.
