==OVERVIEW==
'''PRO DEO ET REGE''' is aimed at improved historical accuracy and realism. At two turns per year, it hopes to provide for a slower and more challenging campaign. Forging and maintaining an empire will not be an easy task as the player will face many obstacles in his quest for medieval dominance. From noble rebellions to increased upkeep costs for standing armies to a regional area of recruitment system that limits and restricts the amount and types of troops available to a faction in newly conquered foreign province, establishing a medieval empire will be a challenge.

==FEATURES==
==REGIONAL AREA OF RECRUITMENT SYSTEM==
Upon conquering a foreign province, a faction will find itself as strangers in a strange land. Looked upon with suspicion and faced with hostility, much work will need to be done to bring a new province into the fold. To this end, Pro Deo et Rege implements a fully-realized Regional Area of Recruitment System that limits and restricts the amount and types of troops available to a faction in a newly conquered foreign province.

==ALL NEW UNITS==
'''PRO DEO ET REGE''' offers a variety of new units, ranging from brand-new faction-specific units to all-new regional units for the Area of Recruitment System!
*Dismounted Mailed Knights
*Feudal Sergeants
*Levy Swordsmen
*Levy Italian Pavise Spearmen
*Askaris
*Varjazi Axemen

*LAca's Byzantine Heavy Spearmen
*And More!

==NEW PROVINCES==
'''PRO DEO ET REGE''' offers over 80 new provinces! These provinces have been chosen for their historical importance and care has been given to ensure they retain their proper historical name!

==REVISED FACTION NAMES, HISTORICAL FIGURES & FAMILY TREES==
'''PRO DEO ET REGE''' has revised the faction names and starting generals for improved historical accuracy. Now take control of Robert Guiscard and Bohemund and lay siege to the Byzantine-held town of Dyrrachium!

|''Repubblica di Genova''
|}

===REPUBBLICA DI GENOVA===
This fledgling maritime republic, in alliance with Pisa, has recently ended a campaign against Saracen corsairs in Italian waters. This campaign eventually saw the Saracens driven from their settlements on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia. However, control of these prized island possessions is still very much in dispute, as Pisa hotly contests Genova's claim to these islands. It looks increasingly likely that this situation will break out in armed conflict between these two Italian city-states.
Should conflict come, Genova is well prepared for it. Boasting a port second only to Venice in all of Italy, Genova has established itself as the one of the world's leading naval powers. Despite its supremacy at sea and despite boasting fine militia in the time-honored Italian tradition, Genova cannot hope to compete with the larger medieval powers on land...yet. A likely first step will be to move quickly into Corsica and Sardinia to consolidate its status as the coastal gateway to the Mediterranean...and beyond.

==CHALLENGING HOLY LAND==
Taking the Holy Land was the easy part! Thanks to the new Regional AoR System and increased religious unrest, holding on to it is now even harder than ever! But thereâs hope! If a faction is able to survive the first few years here, the odds are a Hospitaller or Templar Order will ask to establish a Chapter House. Also, you can count on a limited number of Outremer Knights and Sergeants to help defend your possessions in the Holy land, as well.

===IMPROVED ORDER KNIGHTS===
*Order Knights now fight under their own order banners and ride into battle on their own mounts!
*Dismounted Order Knights are also available!
*New Unit! Brother-Sergeants - Brother-Sergeants are the lesser infantry that fight in support of the Knights Hospitallers. They comprise squires, rich commoners, or lesser nobility that have given up all their earthly possessions in the name of the Order. Protected by mail armour and wielding maces, these soldiers serve the Hospitallers faithfully, but cannot be counted on in protracted melee.

==ECONOMY==
The economy in '''PRO DEO ET REGE''' has been made more challenging! Expanding and maintaining an empire will not be easy! But there's help!

===COMMERCIAL CAPITALS OF THE WORLD===
Not all medieval cities were equal! Due to location and resources, some cities naturally had more of an economic advantage than others. To this end, there are four levels of trade spots:

*Commercial Capitals - these are the jewels of the medieval world! London, Venice, Constantinopleâ¦all cities that became major economic powerhouses. Should you be fortunate enough to hold one, expect greatly increased trade and wealth! Should you not, well thenâ¦get campaigning!
*Trade Centers - these cities serve as the trade centers of a particular region and offer increased trade bonuses as well.
*Trade Hubs - these cities serve as waypoints and stops on the main trade routes of the time and receive a slight increase in trade.
*Minor Cities - a city that can be developed economically if the effort is put in, but one that does not boast the advantages that others naturally possess.

Broken Crescent

{{mod|mod=Broken Crescent|modscreenshot=faris_ha.jpg|platform=[[Medieval II: Total War]]|era=Medieval|leader=mirage41, AlphaDelta}}

== Summary ==

'''Broken Crescent''' is the first Total Conversion modification for Medieval 2: Total War, focusing on the Middle-East and its warfare between they years AD 1174-1400. Unfortunately its release date has been pushed back from the 28th of September to allow two brand new factions, Imamat of Oman, and the Malikate of Sindh and Strelac's Byzantine units replace the purple horrors that where the vanilla Byzantines. Strelac also has made a brand new formation for Byzantine pikes. A ''possible'' release date could be anywhere from the middle of October to Christmas of 2007, however, as the Malikate of Sindh is the last major task, the others being balancing and testing, an earlier release date is more probable than a later one.

== Factions ==

'''Muslim:'''
*The Ayyubid Sultanate
*The Abbasid Caliphate
*The Great Seljuks
*The Turkish Sultanate
*The Khwarezm Shah
*The Sultanate of Ghazni
*The Ghorid Sultante
*The Imamate of Oman
*The Malikate of Sindh
'''Christian:'''
*The Byzantine Empire
*The Kingdom of Jerusalem
*The Kingdom of Armenia
*The Kingdom of Georgia
*The Kingdom of Makuria
'''Hindu:'''
*The Rajput States
'''Pagan:'''
*The Kypchaks
'''Emergent:'''
*The Mongol Empire
*The Timurids

Additional factions may be added in later versions.

== Features ==

=== All new ===
Travel anywhere from the Middle East to India in search of becoming the greatest ruler and general the world has to offer. Books of great knowledge were written throughout these parts, and can now be acquired as ancillaries. People of certain regions were better at certain activities; have them follow you and aid you in governance and warfare. Perhaps your men take to the exotic lands where they have traveled, and become very much like their foreign counterparts due to all the Vices and Virtues available?

The mod includes many new traits as well as ancillaries for each new culture and religion to further immerse the player into the world at war.

=== Area of Recruitment ===
Broken Crescent will feature a special Area of Recruitment system. Each faction will only have ''home regions'', where it can recruit its units. In the regions it conquers, it will only be able to recruit local levies and special units. For example, the Hindu Rajput States will be able to recruit unique elephant units in India, but conquering factions will only be able to recruit ordinary elephant troops.

=== New Religions ===
Having a part of India in the campaign, the modification will feature the Hindu religion. It will be the official religion of the unique Rajput States faction. In addition, Broken Crescent will feature the Kypchaks as a fully playable Pagan faction.

=== Titles ===
The mod will have all-new Titles which will bring the game alive. Certain titles will be based on ownership of regions, while others can only be attained by killing the present holder of that title.
==== ''- Caliph Title'' ====
The Abbasids will begin the game with their leader as the great Caliph. This title will be hereditary; but if another faction leader defeats the Caliph in battle, he will gain the glorious title.

=== The Campaign map ===
Broken Crescent features a brand new campaign map spanning from Anatolia and Egypt in the West, through Mesopotamia, Persia, and Afghanistan, all the way to India to the East.

=== Hundreds of New Units ===
Broken Crescent will feature hundreds (250+) of completely new units made from the ground up by the skinners AlphaDelta and Strelac. The differences and variety of looks within a unit are seen far more, rather than minor differences, and each faction is balanced and unique with their own strengths.

==Mod Spotlights Discussion==

*'''''Currently the main page requires a fresh mod spotlight every month. Please discuss suggestions for this below.'''''

===May 2007===
Time for a new one, suggestions? --Perikles 15:14, 12 May 2007 (CDT)

:Anybody? Nobody...dust! --Perikles 11:06, 15 May 2007 (CDT)

::how about deus lo vult or scicillian vespers? move things away from the holy land kinda thing [[User:Jebus|Jebus]]

:::They need a 'decent' wiki article with at least one picture. I'm away for a few days now so I'll see if there are any suitable articles or suggestions when I get back. --Perikles 11:18, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

::::Neither of those has pages at the moment Sicilian Vespers forum doesn't look that easy to 'borrow' stuff from to make a page - but deus lo vult has some pretty pics and fairly clear info we could use (were you volunteering Jebus?) I did start of page for [[Stainless_Steel]] which might not be too bad - and if anyone wants something a little unholy I'm about to try and update EoD's!

:::::I know it would get a bit long but could we keep list on this page of which mods were featured and when - I'm already forgetting who's been there recently! --[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 05:53, 17 May 2007 (CDT)

::::::So far we have had: [[Rise of Persia]], [[FATW]], [[Broken Crescent]], and now [[The Long Road]]. After that we can have [[Stainless Steel]]. --Perikles 05:27, 20 May 2007 (CDT)

===June 2007===

As The Long Road has been on since 20th do you think we should change at the weekend, to Stainless Steel as suggested? Two weeks in spotlight seems reasonable. --[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 10:58, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

:I agree the stainless steel would look good in the spotlight -- [[User:Leonidas The Lion|Leonidas The Lion]] 13:50, 2 June 2007 (CDT)

OK, need new mod spotlight suggestion for next weekends change over - could someone suggest a good one we haven't had so far (or make new page for something) thanks --[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 13:33, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

:I was sure i already posted this, apparently not though. In any case, I've always liked [[Blood Broads & Bastards]], a mod for Medieval 2. Its a fairly new article so it's quite small, but the point of the spotlight is to show off the best mods rather than the best articles i think.--[[User:Spiff|Spiff]] 17:31, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

::OK, also probably good idea to have one that isn't in hosted section. Pinched their sig, added template and links into page, if you know it well and can think of anything else to add (or to do the guys profiles) that would be good.--[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 18:37, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

Who's idea was it to rotate mod spotlight every two weeks?! anyone got any preferences for next one?
I did do page for [[The Sicilian Vespers]] which was mentioned earlier. Page isn't that wonderful though! --[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 08:38, 23 June 2007 (CDT)

===July 2007===
In absence of other suggestions I'm about to put Sicilian Vespers on. Could do with more participation in this - unless you want to be seeing a lot of End of Days! --[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 03:00, 1 July 2007 (CDT)
:How about [[Aevum Fidei]] for the next one? It's not released but they have been working on own page which is nice :) --[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 01:03, 7 July 2007 (CDT)
Aevum Fidei is up, suggest possibly [[Invasio Barbarorum]] next (released RTW mod) as they have been putting a lot of work into page etc. could do with more suggestions for released M2TW mods though...-[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 00:02, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

[[Invasio Barbarorum]] is up - if no-one helps come up with some suggestions for future spotlights, I really am going to put End of Days on it and leave it there till someone VonC's me -[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 00:44, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

Kisses! [[User:Professor420|Professor420]] 14:17, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
:LOL , thanks but I'm about to revert that! we were trying to keep spots on for two weeks and IB only just started - will pinch your EOD version from history for next one if there isn't anything else in queue, have been avoiding putting EoD on as I'm involved, but it probably deserves a turn (especially as page is nice ;P) -[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 14:25, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
::Oh my bad, I read Aevum Fidei as Ivasio, didn't realize it was only so recent. - [[User:Professor420|Professor420]] 17:05, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

===August 2007===
Due to request sent to me and due to fact its a nice new page for a released M2 mod [[PRO DEO ET REGE]] is going on when IB's had its two weeks, if no-one has any objections. --[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 13:53, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

===September 2007===
I think we should have a new spotlight by now.. also since we have a new front page. Any ideas? Apparently [[Deus lo Vult]] 4.0 has just been released (that new recently released mods cell is handy..)--[[User:Spiff|Spiff]] 09:54, 11 September 2007 (CDT)

== General Updates Discussion ==

*'''''Post your suggestions here, please avoid making large changes to the front page without first gaining permission of the Wiki Editor, or a general consensus of contributors.'''''

Someone mentioned to me that the week commencing date on the front page should be commencing from a Sunday not a Monday - anyone have any objection to it changing to that system?

Also if anyone doesn't fancy doing DIY editing of front page could they dump ideas for news changes etc. in here? --[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 11:03, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

Regarding the Mod Spotlight image, it occurred to me today that it the image size should probably be standardised to prevent the image overlapping onto the news section below in the future. An embedded image set to a specific size would have probably done the trick, but it looks pretty ugly against the colour of the background, so I've left it as a standard image for now (though i shrunk it a bit and added a border with matching colour). --[[User:Spiff|Spiff]] 12:45, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

:Thanks Spiff. Think there might be some differences in how things display between browsers. Old size looked fine to me and don't understand what you meant about overlap, could you view the old version from history and give link to screenie somewhere? Also as its similar does [[Medieval_2:_Total_War]] look right to you? --[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 18:00, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

::Hmm this is what i mean [http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b4/Callum_Ogden/Overlappish.jpg] (sorry apparently photobucket resizes images now). I run my desktop at 1400x1050 and the old image kind of fell down onto the news section below it. It will depend on the resolution the page is viewed at more than anything i suppose. Also that Medieval 2 page looks fantastic to me.--[[User:Spiff|Spiff]] 18:45, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

:::Ah that explains re-checked mine which was [http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/2457/squishedgh8.jpg], smaller does look better anyway as text is now less squished on mine. I just couldn't work out how it had got into news section. Must depend on size of pic, relative to amount of text, relative to screen resolution, which would be fun to work out permutations for! Current revised size (about 320 x 180 pixels) looks like good bet so will aim to stick to that. --[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 19:09, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

== A New Style? ==

I was considering the portal style templates used on the [[Modding_Portal]] page, perhaps it would be a good idea to use this format for information
on the front page? Essentially we could have 2, one which replicates the current table which was recently added with regard to modding tools etc, and another below it regarding the Total War community. -Spiff

:As purely personal opinion I think idea could work, would you be able to do bit of draft using the Modding Portal page? so more complete version can be seen - also wasn't sure about that one in terms of colour / style as it seems a bit alien from rest of wiki pages and side bars atm, would you propose changing that? -Mak.

::Well since i was up late tonight anyway, i wrote up and half finished a possible new outline over at [[Spiff_test]] - let me know what you think. It doesn't use the modding portal template, i borrowed the style from another wiki (first one i found on google that looked good). On the plus side, it is easy to edit/understand. -Spiff

:::Good to see it implemented. A thread should be pinned in the Medieval2 Mod Workshop forum (or somewhere similar) saying that the wiki is a good place to start for tutorials and such --[[User:Spiff|Spiff]] 10:26, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

::::I did add a note in the Tutorial section http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=92488. under Trajan's pin so we shouldn't do any-more spamming in that specific section. Could try in the workshop as well but don't overstate the case, we're still rather light on content, so need balance between advice to look here and appeal for help adding content. [[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 11:05, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

=== Re-designing Left Side of Main Page? ===
Something to discuss amongst the Wiki people, but I think the left bar could use a thorough re-thinking and design. It hasn't been of much use to date, can something else go there instead? Maybe links to how to better help the Wiki? Since this is a wiki for a forum-centric site, most of the impetus to fix comes from the site and not directly from the Wiki, so I think... something, not sure what. Its late. Anyway, I'd suggest replacing High Quality Articles with a small article spotlight for the week so there is some sort of turnover, and the rest can be important Wiki links. I think things like the FAQ and ToS should be linked to from the main Wiki page, as well as the Modding Portal and Say Cheese Index and other central "hubs" that are on the Wiki and nowhere else. Maybe some Most Wanted articles on the bottom, but (maybe this is where the forum-centric comes into play), I don't see what can really go there that someone not coming from the forum for a specific reason could contribute. - [[User:Professor420|Professor420]] 00:55, 1 September 2007 (CDT)
:agreeing with that in principle, in terms of detail, see what Scorch and others come up with as suggestions - all the bits that need regular updating really need an individual to agree to look after them to make sure they actually happen, in past we've decided it would be nice idea to have most recent...blah, but then it doesn't get updated! What I'd personally like to see really prominent in that side bar is links to portals [[:Category:Portals]] those two for M2 and RTW (or whatever they become), could start something for ETW Portal (though its only got the one page atm), the [[Modding_Portal]] as soon as its populated, and could probably do with a [[TWC Portal]] as well to organise entrance to that area a bit better. Could even shift some of the most wanted / most popular stuff to a "Wiki User Portal" ala: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_Portal, to give link in to the stuff in [http://www.twcenter.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=4 TWC Wiki:] - that depends if that side is worth developing, the fact that this IS forum centric makes it a struggle to get people to use that sort of area! -[[User:Makanyane|Makanyane]] 01:25, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

== General talk/off topic ==

Oh my god... You have any forums left professor? I heard that you were banned from SCC as well... What are you going to do?

:Also stupid as I am, who is Besin and what exactly is ogres. Is it like EZboard? Also does anyone rank above Besim?-Angmar nite

::Yes, I was banned from SCC in similar circumstances. An administrator that was extremely detached from the community, who refused to listen to his members, and was destroying his site. And where is SCC now? Its lost its hosted mods and its lost its moderators and many of its members. Before you speak you should have an idea what you are talking about.

:::Amir created a duplicate account and claimed it was mine, and banned me. Can I be at fault for my permaban when the cause was something I didn't even do? Its what he had to do to get rid of me, because I had the support of almost all of the top 20 posters on the site, he couldn't just say 'I banned him because I didn't like him." Now shush. -Professor420

== Anti-spam bot measure added ==

I've just enabled a newly-written extension by Nick Jenkins, CommentSpam. This should significantly reduce if not eliminate the gibberish bot spam we've been getting. For now, all denials are logged at [[Special:Log]] and so should show up on [[Special:Recentchanges]] with edits and so on: if it seems to be working well, that can be disabled to stop the page from being clogged up. â[[User:Simetrical|Simetrical]] ([[User talk:Simetrical|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Simetrical|contribs]]) 13:16, 1 November 2007 (CDT)
