Hmm, for now I'd like to concentrate on western units. Limiting my work to one faction wouldn't work, as for example for western pikemen I can use one model with few variations (mostly texture wariations)Quote:

Even though I sometimes cannot find too accurate images (at that time a concept of an uniform really didn't exist in modern sense anyway) it will give you some idea what will be necessary.
Still...God I would love some real dismountable units in the 'Kingdoms' - dragoons are one of most important features to re-create and for now it is still a joke...:juggle2:
Well, I think I'll start with spanish pikemen ;) So could post the spanish units rooster?
For now, a little WIP of Late spanish pikemen

Nice job. As usual I'm here to nitpick:Quote:

As I've said before - nitpicking is welcome ;)
BTW. I'm trying to imagine how did the armour/clothes of western pikemen changed between 1550 and 1700 (so that I can better plan what have left to do)
From what I've seen so far (read from you or seen on colour plates) it can be divided into 5 periods :
Early (from 1550) - pikemean wear dublets and puffy, ripped trousers - the typical renaissance style
(like here http://www.totalwar.org.pl/gallery/F...1650%20-24.jpg)
then later period (circa 1600) - the soldiers begin to wear more tight trousers (like there http://www.totalwar.org.pl/gallery/A...1588%20-11.jpg or there http://www.totalwar.org.pl/gallery/A...1588%20-10.jpg)
Then even later one (ca. 1630, so XXX years war) - less parade style, tights and low shoes or highboots (like here http://www.totalwar.org.pl/gallery/T...ntry%20-04.jpg and here http://www.totalwar.org.pl/gallery/S...2-34%20-02.jpg)
Very late one (past 1660 or even later ) - just like you said, the most of the armour is dropped and only cuirass is left (http://www.totalwar.org.pl/gallery/T...1704%20-01.JPG)
ant the latest period - totally different style (more XVIII century - like) - http://www.totalwar.org.pl/gallery/T...1704%20-07.JPG , http://www.totalwar.org.pl/gallery/A...1726%20-34.jpg
Does it make any sence, or am I terribly wrong?:sweatdrop:
You are about right, but remember that you have pictures of 4 different armies in different periods.
Also, for some reason, spanish troops have german swords... Minor point anyway.
Damn, my PC has just said sayonara :furious3: Luckilly, I've managed to get back my data (along with my pikemen :) , but I have to send my PC to the service for a some time. I'll try to continue working on the pikemen on the another computer, however it's a bit old (doesn't support the pixel shading=no normal maps; and I can only dream about running MTW2 on it :laugh4: ) , but I should slowly progress :) so see you (hopefully) soon!
I hope so, the pikemen are great, would be a terrible loss.
Ha, what a great surprise!My Dad's laptop is capable of handling normal maps:D so I can continue on finishing the pikeman (thout it's not very convienient to work with graphics on a such small screen ;)
Here are some random faces I've done

Any idea when this MOD wil be finished????
:help:
When its released.
When it is ready - it is a huge project so will take more than one weekend.:juggle2:
Hi Cegorach, nice to see you again. I knew you from the Lordz forums, Lord Crow, lol. I just wanted to ask a quick question, will this proposed mod include the English Civil War? I think your former one did.
Can't wait to see it though.
Yeah it takes a solid fortnight of work! :clown:Quote:

For a comprehensive list of all factions during the 1435-1800(something) period, check out Magna Mundi mod for Europa Universalis 3.
Asian factions, Eastern Europa, HRE, Africa, SouthAm, NorthAm, Western Europe, the mod has everything you could ever want for making a good mod for this time period.
Hey there Cageroach! Once you complete mod (that I can`t stand waiting for:wall: ) I can make advert/video and put in on YouTube:laugh4:
My latest vids:

Some good M2 videos there thrashing mad, I forgot to turn on my volume, but from comments the soundtrack was supposed to be snazzy.
Hi Crow !Quote:

There is no specific event the mod is about - rather large historical process - literally torrents in history and its side-effects here and there...
Kruniac
I will do so + I will have a look around EU2 mods first...Quote:

Actually I want to have a good video intro for first edition of the mod ( MTW VI) with some nice score - maybe the original music composed for the mod...
Interested ?
Hurry up with this mod.
This mod smells of success, and unless you want that wonderful pungeance to disipate you should not hurry it. However... a few more screenshots (assuming theres material to go with it) would not be objected.Quote:

I'm no 'pooter wiz type, but if theres anything I can do to help out let e know.
It seems like they scrapped the Rome version to do the TW2 version and then they will have to scrap the TW2 vrsion for thenew TW game that is already about pike and musket so wtf?
Not really - new TW game will be placed in XVIIIth century, while this mod in XVIIth century - there`s big difference.:)Quote:

Of course if ETW engine will be superior i.e. allows dismounting cavalry, makes it possible to make warwagons the MTW2 project will be obsolete, but for now I have no idea how good it will be so let's stick to MW2 for now...
Any vague idea when we might see the latest incarnation? :)
do you not think that this mod will be pointless once they bring out Empire total war in march?
Check back a few posts to see the answer to your question.
The new ETW will be 1700 to 1820. THis mod starts in 1492; quite a diffrence.
Any chance of some screenshots yet?
:help:
Not yet, I am a bit too much engaged in finishing my favourite MTW VI edition - which still has more flexible engine and better AI.:book:
Besides, we're not going to see Empire in March. No way. March begins in 2 days.Quote:
