I. Présentation :
Bulat Steel est un mod de Medieval II : Total War développé par l'équipe L.Y.N.V.O. (un collectif de moddeurs russophones - Leeekaaa, Yarik, Norinke, Vdovin, Okzersal), dont la réputation n'est plus à faire. L'objectif de ce mod est de refondre complètement le jeu de base pour offrir une expérience du Moyen-Âge plus historiques, plus immersive et plus complexe. Bulat Steel comporte un installateur développé par les moddeurs qui permet de personnaliser entièrement votre jeu avec des dizaines d'options. Vous pouvez par exemple choisir parmi deux campagnes (1100 et 1220), sept IA différentes, décider ou non d'inclure un script de garnison, ajuster la difficulté de l'économie de la campagne, choisir la musique que vous entendrez pendant le jeu suivant votre culture, permettre à des factions vaincues de renaître, ajouter ou supprimer des événements et des scripts historiques durant la campagne, et bien d'autres choses.

Les unités sont au meilleur niveau de ce qui peut se faire sur un moteur aussi ancien que celui de Medieval II, et l'équipe a apporté un soin particulier à l'esthétique des communautés sur la carte stratégique et le champ de bataille. Jetez un œil aux images un peu plus bas !

Le mod nécessite l'extension Kingdoms.
IMPORTANT : comme pour la plupart des mods, il est recommandé d'installer Steam et Medieval II : Total War en-dehors de votre répertoire « Program Files », les systèmes d'exploitations récents causant des problèmes si vos mods sont installés dans ce répertoire.

1. Téléchargez les fichiers à l'aide des liens plus haut.
2. Si vous avez la version Steam du jeu, allez dans « Steam/Steamapps/common/Medieval II Total War » et créez une copie de « medieval2.exe » que vous nommerez « kingdoms.exe ».
3. Ouvrez « BS_2.1.5Final_TW.2.7z » avec Winrar ou 7 zip, puis double-cliquez sur « BS215Final Setup.torrent » et ouvrez ce fichier avec un client Bittorrent tel que Vuze afin de télécharger le mod.
4. OBLIGATOIRE : afin de réduire le risque de crashs, téléchargez le 4GB Patch pour permettre au jeu d'utiliser pour de 2 Go de RAM (appliquer à « medieval2.exe » et à « kingdoms.exe »). Si vous ne l'avez pas fait lors de l'installation d'un autre mod, lancez cet exécutable et sélectionnez les exécutables du jeu « medieval2.exe » et « kingdoms.exe ». Il permet à Medieval II d'utiliser plus de 2 Go de RAM et rend les mods plus stables.
5. Une fois le mod téléchargé via torrent, ouvrez « Bulat Steel TW 2.1.5 » avec Winrar ou 7zip et extrayez le dossier « Bulat Steel TW 2.1.5 » qui s'y trouve dans votre répertoire « Medieval II Total War/mods ».
6. Ouvrez « Fix #3 for BS2.1.5 Final.7z » et extrayez le dossier « data » et le fichier « BS_Setup.ini » dans votre répertoire « Medieval II Total War/mods/Bulat Steel TW 2.1.5 ». Écrasez les fichiers existants.
7. Puis ouvrez « English Translation of BS 2.1.5 Final.7z » encore et toujours avec Winrar ou 7zip et extrayez le dossier « data » et le fichier « BS_Setup.ini » qui s'y trouvent dans votre répertoire « Medieval II Total War/mods/Bulat Steel TW 2.1.5 ». Écrasez également les fichiers existants.
8. Allez dans « Medieval II Total War/mods/Bulat Steel TW 2.1.5 » et créez un raccourci du fichier nommé « BS_Setup.exe ». Il vous sert à paramétrer les options du mod et à choisir à quelle campagne vous voulez jouer. Une fois vos paramètres choisis, lancez le mod en cliquant sur « Launch Game ». N'hésitez pas à poster ici pour toute question relative au mod ou à son installation.

Patch 5.0 et sa traduction anglaise ajoutés.

[ALG]

Sortie du patch 6 en tête de sujet (sauvegardes non compatibles avec cette mise à jour).

[ALG]

Sortie du patch 7 (sauvegardes non compatibles avec cette mise à jour).

Changements apportés :

Spoiler:

- Fixed a bug that lasted from the fifth patch - in the early campaign, the Teutonic Order and the Mongols immediately became rebellious.
- New art of Historical Battles in the Main Menu
- Corrected the levels of armor upgrades for early knighthood - now in the early campaign knights, ministerials and their counterparts can be pumped to "gold"
- in the rebalance, the stats of the Tadzreulovs are equated to the Templars, but they are hired for 1 turn longer and slightly more expensive
- Andalusian infantry removed the basic upgrade, added new info and icon
- The Templar troops returned to hire in the 14th century (only for the Kingdom of Jerusalem). The rest of the factions will not be able to recruit them, but they will be able to replenish units in the chapters. Therefore, do not allow the loss of the entire Templar detachment since 1300.
- Removed old base model of Gazia
- a new model for the Moors Crossbowmen Peasants (4 upgrades)
- new textures of armored horses for the protection of the commanders of Muslims and Georgia (different fabric elements, saddles and horse breeds)
- Foot Hashams are now only recruited in the historical region of Turkey
- New units for Muslims - Faris and Faris Infantry (4 upgrades)
- new 4 models for Gulyams and Walking Gulyams
- removed Mortar and Kulevrin
- new models for the Order Crossbowmen (Livonian Auxiliares)
- removed base vanilla model Alamanoev
- added new mercenaries Balkan infantrymen (instead of azap - removed)
- Reworked models of Shooters with arquebusses for almost all factions (+ Sweden)
- Giant Bombard has been strengthened and increased in value - Elite Artillery is now
- Updated skins for dart throwers: Turks throwers, Kurds throwers, Scottish mercenaries, Sudanese nomads
- Tweaked the stats of the Byzantine Scutat Swordsmen Finally I found a middle ground - they are weaker than the knights, but there are more of them in the squad. In a 1v1 battle, the winner is the one whose soldiers enter the enemy squad from the flank.
- New art for some units.
- Some new art for buildings and events
- Fixed helping family members for the Teutonic Order AI in the late campaign
- New units are registered in all scripts
- Fix for mountainous terrain in Georgia

Ils ont pas mis 4 tour par an, c'est con.

[Madurk]

Bon déjà 1er retour, le patch 8 est sortit aussi.

-Les unités sont magnifiques, les plus belles que j'ai vu depuis third age.
-Les miniatures des unites et portraits sont aussi très beaux.
-Les musiques, bon c'est pas ce qu'il y a de mieux, on les a déjà entendu dans d'autres mod.
-Les batailles sont plutôt équilibré mais je déconseille de mettre une difficulté supérieur à "normal" car l'ennemi est plutôt costaud et les différents scripts l'avantage déjà.
-La refonte graphique des bâtiments est plutôt sympa.
-Le nombre de script énorme et la possibilité de les choisir.

[ALG]

Merci pour les impressions, j'ai ajouté le patch 8 en tête de sujet.

Nouvelles images, apparemment du royaume de Géorgie.

Changements :

Spoiler:

- Fixed a bug when, when the script for recapturing capitals after the capture of Rome was turned on, it was impossible to return to the bosom of the church by Catholic factions (removed the auto line to the new owner).
- Moved the animation of pulling the bowstring for some units - Byzantine regular archers, Ottoman infantry, Mamelukes etc.

Other edits:
- Newscript for AI combat behavior (Thanks to DaC Team)
- new art for all units that have been upgraded.

- reduced by 25% the amount of money received for the murder of 1 inhabitant when occupying a settlement and when it is plundered or destroyed.

- Fixed founding of dynasties - now it is impossible for family members to have two dynasties at the same time. (This led, we suspect, to rare ctd)
- Cut out all scripted sieges of cities in the DLC script "Military assistance to the weak factions" (This should exclude rare crashes when loading saves).
