Contents
Summary
Broken Crescent is a total conversion modification for Medieval II: Total War, focusing on the Middle East and its warfare between the years 1174 and 1400. Broken Crescent 2.0 was released on the 23rd of June, 2009 and can be found here.
BC 2.0 features a new and more realistic AoR (area of recruitment) system, a brand new unit balancing system and an adjusted diplomacy system.
Features
Area of Recruitment
Broken Crescent features an Area of Recruitment system. Each faction is assigned its own unique "home regions" in which it is able to recruit units from its factional roster. In the regions it conquers, it is only able to recruit local units and other special variations.
Religion
The modification features the Hindu religion. It will be the official religion of the unique Rajput States faction. In addition, Broken Crescent features the Kypchaks as a fully playable Pagan faction.
Titles
Broken Crescent features a system of titles that brings a level of realism into the gameplay. Certain titles are based on ownership of regions, while others can only be attained by killing the present holder of that title. The Abbasids, for example, begin the game with their faction leader assigned the title of Caliph; this title is hereditary; but if another faction leader defeats the Caliph in battle, he will gain the 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.
New Units
Broken Crescent features 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.
