'European Wars' - a mod which takes us in 18th century. It is an age of 'Empire: Total War' which was released in March 2009.'European Wars' will be a Historical-Realism-Mod for this game.

It's a first units preview of "European Wars" mod on Empire Total War. Preview is more historical than standard units in Empire TW.
I have made heavy cavalry units (Cuirassiers and Elite Guards) and Grenadiers. For example: French Mousqetaires, Russian Life Guards, Swedish Grenadiers. I want to say especially thanks for lesterthenerd, (and Ikusa IX, Yoda Twin). They made these screens. Units in renders have parts of Lordz.

Utterly fantastic looking units! I will definately be keeping tabs on this!

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Indeed! Are those grenadier caps modded? They look slightly taller than the vanilla ones...

[lenin96]

:2thumbsup:Great units! Can you tell us what you will do in for the campaign?

[Megas Methuselah]

:2thumbsup::2thumbsup::2thumbsup:

[Mailman653]

Very cool, it's good to see all those units and more under one mod, currently uniform skins are all over the place in individual mods.

[KLAssurbanipal]

Thank You All my friends!!! :D

There is other pattern. :)



:2thumbsup:Great units! Can you tell us what you will do in for the campaign?

Yes, of course :) More info in next preview.

Great work, keep it up :2thumbsup:

Looks good.

Is the mod "only" about visual changes or is it also about gameplay and recruitment?

Some of your units look a bit "old-fashioned", nearer to 1700 than the ETW standard units. That is fine. Is it possible and planned first only to be able to recruit 1700-units, later 1750-units (which had different clothes style) and in the end 1790-units (again slightly other style)? The most annoying factor of ETW for me is that you start in 1700 with units in the style of the mid 1700's. It is the fault of the tech tree, the new feature most hated by me. I would have preferred different looking units (with different stats) for different times, the later units in the more modern fashion and with better stats. The older TW system was better here. Perhaps it is also possible with the tech tree to have different looking later units?

Another great feature would be local recruitment and mercenaries. I would like to recruit f.e. Highland swordsmen in case I conquered Scotland or American indian natives in case I am in the Americas.

You can already recruit Highlanders and Native Americans in their local regions respectively...

[ratbarf]

That looked positively amazing. Congratulations.

[Smellycat]

you should try the less is more approach tbh vannilla units look more like soldiers

[Ishmael]

Aargh! So many goofy moustaches!

Seriously though, well done!

[Sheogorath]

I think he's going for the 'historical' approach.

It may seem silly to the 21st century mind, but there was an era when entire regiments of soldiers were organized based on height and hair color, and were made to wear their mustaches pointing in a certain direction.

Thanks, my friends :)

In my mod I will change AI, campaign map and others. In next preview will be Features.

Yes I will make 2 (or 3) periods of uniforms. It will be that same as EW1 (on RTW): 1) 1700 - Great Northern War and Spanish Succesion War; 2) 1756 - Seven Years War. Maybe 3rd period with French Revolutionary uniforms :)
There are examples from EW1: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=104607 This mod is released for Rome Total War as 18th century mod. :egypt:
