This is the continuation of the WotR Mod begun by Rozanov in 2010.
First envisioned as a sub-mod for the popular Stainless Steel Mod by Gracul, the Blood & Roses Mod (or B&R) is to now be a stand-alone modification built out from the original Britannia Mod from Creative Assembly.

I am Live2sculpt (L2S), humble games industry artist and the guy who took up the charge for the look and feel of B&R. Used2BRoz (Rozanov) is still on point as the mods founder and decider on its actual functions. Many of the elements from the earlier development have been kept on file, and now may be incorporated in this new build.
Other credited contributors from before are invited to rejoin this project if they are available and interested, including Corbeau, Snelhest, John Haukewood, and deadhead1971. If YOU want to contribute to B&R, chime in!
The Blood & Roses Mod is a focused campaign mod that deals with the War of the Roses. For those unfamiliar, The War of the Roses was a dynastic feud fought between royal houses of England in the late 15th Century. The final mod will use a large 260 x 260 pixel map of England, 12 turns per year, custom graphics and music, and present a simple force selection representative of the period and region, that includes cannon, handguns, and full gothic plate armor.
More details can be gleaned below, from Roz's original vision of the mod's contents. Some of these details have since been modified, or are reserved for inclusion/refinement in later versions.
Instalacja:
You need Medieval II Total War and the Kingdoms Expansion patched to 1.5 in order to use this mod.
There is no installer. If you are unsure about manual installation after reading these instructions, ask.
You must have the Britannia Campaign installed (Americas, Teutonic, and Crusades are not required). Make a backup copy of the Britannia Mod folder, and rename it Blood_and_Roses.
You should then have both Medieval II Total War/mods/british_isles and medieval II Total War/mods/Blood_and_Roses.
Unpack the contents of the mod archive into the renamed folder. Use the Launch_Blood_and_Roses.bat to start the mod. Create a shortcut to Launch_Blood_and_Roses.bat if you wish. Use one of the custom icons also provided on the Properties/Icon value of the shortcut.
And so we are off and running! With a playable version of the mod in its development. The custom map will be included in the BETA phase once Roz has cleaned up enough of the basic functions tested during the ALPHA.
