@alexgreat:

I love this, and immediately went to giochistarter to buy a capitano edition, a 6th player and additional die. After registering, the site never accepted my username and password (when creating an account, they dont label anything “username”, just “nickname” or “name”). I changed my password, went ok, I tried to log in again, again not accepted and now blocked for 24h.

And of course you cant send them a request or inquiry when not logged in.-…wtf

Needless to say I am rather…shall we say amazed?

And in general, I hate all those registering things, why can I not go to a place, leave a shipping adress and pay immediately. And all this only so I can be sent 20 info emails per week.

Sorry for your problem.
Remember that on giochistarter.it you can choose to pay with 8 Paypal installments (no interests)!
Why don’t go on kickstarter? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/166119889/medioevo-universalis?ref=nav_search

The box… Wonderful !!!

Components of the deluxe version with miniatures !!!

The HERMIT version is WITHOUT miniatures, there are only cardboard pieces … the other deluxe versions are all WITH miniatures and differ only in price, not in the components … Therefore the first who join the campaign will have the cheaper version.

P.S.:
I remind everyone that those who view the page of the crowdfunding campaign with his cell phone does not see the pictures … at the bottom of the page there is a link in red DESKTOP VERSION, this way you will see all the images as if you were in front of a computer.

Only 6 days!!! Crowdfunding campaign of MedioEvo Universalis on Kickstarter, Giochistarter and Spielesmiede will start January 13, 2017 !!!

It is not a video much, but I upload the same for those who had never seen the 3D map Live :)

I started the long process of re-reading of all the historical information gathered so far to extract the greatest number of ideas that will then, after having been revised and supplemented with possession of TECHNOLOGIES, the creation of the largest possible number of CARDS EVENTS historicized.

In this first phase will put a link to a thread to which I refer in order to quickly access the full text in case I had doubts, under the text extrapolated from the discussion itself and under the idea that will help me in the second phase to create the drafts of the new CARDS EVENTS historicized.

@alexgreat:

hopefully this is still going on, I cant imagine not having this game at home!

Giochix should launch crowdfunding campaign on giochistarter.it and kickstarter.com at the end of 2016.
I am preparing a list of miniateres in 3 different versions: minimal, medium and full…

This is the first draft, but I still think a couple of days:

I’m starting a big project …;)
And if I could produce the 3D map in series with the costs, but above all of the times “reduced”?  :-D :-D :-D

I made a simulation with a CNC machine for woodworking (and similar such as MDF, OSB, particleboard, plywood, etc.) and I have tried to simulate the working of a MDF panel of 30 mm. thickness, 3-axis machining with the various tools … here is a first result applies to England:

John Brown and Wolfschanze thank you for the compliments  :-D

The deluxe version of the boardgame with 3D map is my personal idea for my house… also I use it during conventions.

The base set for 3-5 players that will be marketed will cost about 100 Euros, it will have miniatures, but it will not have the deluxe components (3D map, metal coins, little swords)… only “standard” components.

@Private:

It does look incredible! Tell us when and where we can buy it.

@CWO:

These coins are very attractive designs.  Regarding your value table (1 = copper, 5-10 = iron, 50-100 = silver, 500-1000 = gold), there’s something I’m wondering about.  I don’t have any expertise in numismatics, but I’m just wondering if iron was commonly used for coinage in the ancient world.  Plain iron rusts easily.  Even steel rusts unless it’s stainless steel, and I don’t think stainless steel existed in the ancient world.  In any case, iron is more difficult to use than the other metals that were known in ancient times because it usually has to be hot-worked, which would have complicated the process for minting coins.

I make this money only for my boardgame, I decide a decimal system and different materials for each value only for the boardgame, but it’s an unhistorical version… the true florin is made of gold 24 carat.

The Very high purchasing power of money requires the use of various submultiples, such as the silver florin (also called “grosso” or “popolino”, the first variable value equal to 1/20 of the gold florin, but later devalued to touch during the second half of the sixteenth century., the 1/150 of the gold coin value) and copper florin, also called “black florin” for the color that took over time, the value (at least initially) of 1/240 of its golden florin, ie 1/12 of the silver florin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florin

At “PISA GIOCA 2010” I knew Rhodry that she is helping me with some drawings of the game … After the ANGEL (for more information on this click here: http://www.medioevouniversalis.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1195&p=2261#p2261), I asked her to help me with coins … I thought using the florin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florin) as the currency exchange in the game because in the second half of the thirteenth century. it was widely used.

Here the original florin:

Here are some initial drafts and some steps of work:

And here a first draft of the final idea of coins:

The first two coins are respectively the white “cross” and “head” … I put the value on the cross… being forced to manage exorbitant amount of money I can’t use the money system of that historical period:

1 gold florin = 20 “popolino” (big silver florin) = 40 “soldi”; also there was a little florin = 1/12 “soldo”.

Instead of the original texts on the “cross” I have replaced the “FLORENTIA” with the value (1-5-10-50-100-500-1000) and on “head” I have replaced “S. IOHANNES B.” " with the name of the game (MEDIO EVO UNIVERSALIS). The coins will also be different colors to differentiate the materials:

value 1 = copper
value 5-10 = iron
value 50-100 = silver
value 500-1000 = gold

I think they will be the same size if I will make the metal coins because I must pay for every different dimension of mold… 4 different dimensions + 7 different “cross” = 11 different molds.
If they have the same size I must pay only 1 “head” + 7 “cross”.
Some examples:

If I will make the plastic or cardboard coins I will surely make 4 different dimensions.
Current coins:

Here below tests about new money for this prototype:

1° test

2° test

… and even coins are finished … Despite some hitches, now I have coins PERFECTLY EQUAL to Rhodry’s draw:

Here is one of the molds:
