Hello all ! I'm proud to announce you that, after Battles of Asia (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=380), High_Templar is making his second mod on the RTW engine.
Battles of Kingdoms is a total conversion for BI 1.6. It add new animations, new factions, new models, new units, maybe new buildings... so, this is a new mod. It is focused on custom battles, like Battles of Asia, but in the Medieval Era. The mod is historical at 80%, because of gameplay reasons.

Left to right :
First line : Kingdom of England, Kingdom of France, The Holy Roman Empire
Second line : Kingdom of Aragon, Crusader States, Kingdom of Italy
Third line : Kingdom of Sicily, The Papal States, Kingdom of Portugal
Fourth line : The Byzantine Empire, Kingdom of Hungary
Fifth line : The Kubilai Khan Khanate
Sixth line : The Seljukid Sultanate, The Ayyubid Sultanate, The Moors Sultanate
Seventh line :The Abbassid Sultanate


The mod has new glow effects, but because I'm using Skymod, they don't work. I will post some screens with the glow effect soon.
The animations you can see are from vanilla. The new animations aren't implanted yet.

some very nice looking stuff in there :thumbsup:

I like the idea of the maces (with the chain) - does that look ok in battle? If it comes out as a rigid one piece weapon it would rather spoil the effect, am intrigued to know if you can get it to work properly.....

[Nelduin]

Yes, it will be in battle, but of course with totally new animations...
I will post screens soon

[Myrddraal]

What an arsenal!

[Nelduin]

I have asked to my leader... yes, the chain of the maces will be totally animated.

[Nelduin]

I have bad news today : the animations for the maces don't work... so there won't be maces in the mod...

[Ibrahim]

no maces *Ibrahim goes in panic mode*

anyways, why not try another approach? the managed to have maces somewhere in IBFD...

[Makanyane]

I wonder if you can get any further with it if you try basing on a slinger skeleton? (if you didn't already try that) Would still need new animation but I think that gives you a different bone set up which allows the whirling of the sling.

[Nelduin]

Finally, the maces animations work. I will post screens soon.

Some new screens, with the new animations (no maces yet, but I hope soon) :
The project is renamed : Battles of Kingdoms

Will there be a map?

[Nelduin]

You mean a campaign map ? For the moment it isn't planned.
