Castle Research

[ShadesWolf]

We need to make our mind up about are we going to have a city in each province or a castle. We will then need to decide how to design these so they fit into the mod.

This thread will help to do research on the subject, the cities and the Castles

For example:

The city of Caen is located in Western Normandy, It is a walled city, but also includes a Castle.

[Templar Knight]

Why dont we have walled cities. Castle building could take place in the similar way as forts are built in RTW.

[Templar Knight]

In the center a smaller town (e.g Inverness) there could be a keep, in larger towns/cities (e.g York) a castle, instead of just the town square that was in RTW.

[Duke Malcolm]

I think that is a good idea, too. Perhaps keep, or castle could be an extra thing added in if you want it, like how a temple is in the city.

[kreig]

I really like the idea of having castles, with like battlements etc

[Duke Malcolm]

on the campaign map, we could give some places their own special model, like in the Lotr mod, and we might be able to give some places their own map for battles, too.

Unique castles/ towns are a passion of mine, This is one of the features I was developing for MTW.

However, it will need a lot of research into how to mod them into the game. I feel at the moment we dont seem to be going very far.

[Templar Knight]

so we could have all the towns and castles different - different layouts/designs

[Duke Malcolm]

We could just ask someone who has modded them into the game how they did it. But I wouldn't say we do all the castles and cities as individuals, thought, only the more famous and spectacular.

The people who have made Middle earth: total war have done they created Minas Tirith Helms Deep etc

again this is going to be a case of we need someone with knowledge of 3ds max and can model
But there all tied up in other mods

One of us could learn to use it.

I ended up with a huscarl with a giant backside and a giant circle(which was supposed to be a shield) coming off his back. :dizzy2:

[King Ragnar]

I didnt even get as far as opening the models :embarassed:

[The_Doctor]

There is a guide on these forums.

It still confused the hell out of me.

[King Ragnar]

I used it but still not even as far as opening the models!!!!!

[The_Doctor]

Did you download some script to open them?

It was made by vercingetorix.

[King Ragnar]

I downloaded so much stuff i cant remeber now
