I'm helping el_bandito with Mongolphobia. My arduous task is that of adding Serbia into the game. I've gone ahead and modeled it after Venice but I will probably change it to Hungary or possibly Byzantium. Are there any units, cities, etc. That you guys would want to see in the game?
For the units, if they're not in-game already, and you would want a new unit, I would need to know several things.
-What type it is (Spearmen, light-infantry, cavalry etc.)
-Its name
-How good of a unit it is (This will go into its stats)
-Any special abilities that you may want
-Secondary weapons or no?
-Appearance suggestions
Further detail would be loved! I'm awaiting the current files from el_bandito, who from his last email expressed that he was sick and is not active on anything right now. Once I recieve the current files, I can begin my work on the mod. (I've practiced making it with limited success eg. the faction banners are of Venice >.> )
To el_bandito/EoJ indescr_sm_factions is a line of code saying whether or not the faction allows princesses. I would assume that you simply change that to yes instead of no, and bam!
Getting back to Serbia, I'm currently trying to mod 2 cities into the game which Serbia will start out with. They will be:
-Belgrade
-Senta/Sonta (help with spelling!)
The in-game setup will be somewhat tricky, however, because the engine permits 31(32?) factions at a time, but only 21 in the selection screen. This would mean that in order to play as Serbia, one faction would have to be removed from the playable list. We have thought of removing the Aztecs. But also, I need clarification on this. Would it be possible to just switch the factions for whatever campaign you're on from playable/non-playable so you could choose whatever faction you want?
I have the starting family characters, units, and cities. el_bandito and I have requested the services of another modder who specializes in skins/banners. He shall be available in about a week or two. Also, in my research on Serbia, I found that Serbia is mainly an Orthodox nation. If you really want, I can change it to Catholicism, but at the expense of historical accuracy (A stupid question, perhaps?) and the Russians/Byzantines not having another friend to play with.
If there are any thoughts or unit suggestions, please, post them so I can make Serbia the way you guys want.

Think you're a hotshot against the Mongols? Go to the Mongolphobia mod discussions and download the mod, then, you will surely tremble with fear in the face of the Mongols. If you have suggestions/questions, feel free to make a thread. You can download Mongolphobia here. Good luck.
