Invasio Barbarorum: Mod for KoH

**Autokrator1453** · 24-05-2010 21:42

This mod shifts Knights of Honor to the age of Rome. It is called Invasio Barbarorum (Barbarian Invasion) in contribution to Rome: Total War and its great mod.
The mod now (v.1.9) has reached a level close to conclusion but I eagerly encourage all willing modders to work on it.

The mod is set in the time of the great migration periodes (5.century AD) until the spread of Islam (7.century AD).
The gameplay, music and many graphics were changed to represent the timeframe in a better way.

I don't know how could I miss this mod...

Wow, this looks lovely. Once I'm done with all my schoolwork I'm definitely going to give this a try.

Invasio Barbarorum... one of my - most - favourite mods for RTW:BI (both the Ruina Romae and the Somnium Apostatae Juliani mods).
And Knights of Honor, now that brings back some memories from 2004-2005... I'll maybe download the new patch, which i never tried, and reinstall the game just for this...

Little bit off-topic: does anyone know if the new patch activated the missions/quests that were contained in the game but were never put to use? Elvain, perhaps you know?

as far as I know Laudan managed to make some of them working.
I haven't touched KoH (modding) since very early 2009, so some 18 months, and I have forgotten almost everything

Laudan did not activate the other mission types. Instead he used the unite quest in a clever way: He picked some random kingdoms who have to be eliminated, then a unite quest message (text changed to something like plague) pops up. The effects of a plague can be reflected quite well with the uninte quests options.

No feedback to my mod so far?
