Hello everyone,
This thread is dedicated to the discussion of my upcoming mod, initially entitled "Rising Factions". Basically the purpose of this mod is to bestow some variety on the different factions' play styles. This may be achieved by creating a unique unit roster for each faction. As such, you can expect to see a lot of new units, all of which re-skinned. Even the very few units that will be used from vanilla MTW will be re-skinned.
The mod focuses on the medieval early period and starts in 1066. Only a few units will be introduced in the high and late eras. Also. you can expect to see more infantry and less cavalry so no more Gothic and Chivalric Knights as they shouldn't be available in the early period. However the available cavalry units should be more effective on the battlefield.
This mod encourages the players to be aggressive since every conquered region on the map should offer new units, some of which can be very helpful in battle, e.g Armenian Infantry, Genoese Swordsmen, etc.
I have a clear vision of how to proceed with the English and the Danes in terms of the unit roster. However, I may be in need of your suggestions as far as the Slavic factions are concerned. Needless to say, vanilla MTW and most of the mods that came out afterwards didn't do the Slavs justice. Axalon's Redux, and MedMod, are probably the only mods which tried to depict them in a more unique style. If you have opinions/suggestions/comments on the Slavic factions, or any other faction for that matter, then please share them!
I will post screens of my work every now and then.
Thank you
