Wars of the Roses Expansion

**KyodaiSteeleye** · 03-16-2004, 20:32

I too am rather quite excited at the prospect of a new mod - especially the WotR, which was a definitive period in english medieval warfare.

I'm also all up on getting some historical accuracy into the armies.

Got an ETA when the mod might be released? - I think a good way of getting a mod played is to have threads where peeps can discuss the mod, and arrange a regular night to play each other.

Handguns - my understanding is that these were experimental weapons at the time and quite rare, so i wouldn't worry too much if they're not attractive in multiplay.

Here is a rendering of my Squire model:

ETA is probably within 4/6 weeks. I'll be going on vacation twice, each a week, so that will slow things down.

Good point about the handguns.

Once the mod is close to being released I will put more effort into advertising it. It will for the time being exclusively built for custom/historical/mp games, so it will need lots of downloads to be effective. But since this an expansion with no effect on a regular MTW:Viking Invasion installation, there is little reason why it shouldn't be downloaded

Hey DJ, I just had to drop by here sometime.

The screenshots look great, on a side note are you planning to make the Battle of Towton? Just a little personal connection with it as I live about a mile away from the battlefield.

Anyway, those units look far better than CA's ones (They are ok but...not very medievally) mostly because they look different from one another, I get tired of seeing the same BIF just with different weapons running about the battlefield all the time.

And a rendering of a Billman:

At some point there will indeed be a battle(map) for Towton. I plan to have at least Towton, Barnet, Tekwesbury and Bosworth, and I hope with the help from Dirk.

Cheers, Duke John

**Lord Zimoa of Flanders** · 03-18-2004, 18:42

WOW those are some great looking units, can't wait to try it out my self.

SCREENSHOTS
Finished the first 3 BIFs of my Wars of the Roses mod. The squire, billman and longbow.

Enjoy,
Duke John

Duke John,

Absolutely first-class work Those are some of the best infantry I've ever seen. Can't wait for your release.

**Antalis::** · 03-19-2004, 18:52

Very well made DJ

Antalis

**Norseman** · 03-19-2004, 19:31

You have every reason to feel proud about those units DJ. They are awesome

Makes me wonder why CA didn't make them like that.

**Emp. Conralius** · 03-19-2004, 19:32

Beautiful BIFs DJ But since they are from you, we wouldn't expect any less.

Unlike CA's Medieval units, your BIFs DONT look like they play for a 1940s American football team.

**Lord Zimoa of Flanders** · 03-19-2004, 19:33

Really beautifull craftswork

**Lord Of Storms** · 03-20-2004, 03:08

DJ, The Squire unit is awesome well the others are as well,
but that one just stands out for me

Fine Work...LOS

**Coldstream** · 03-20-2004, 04:27

I like the archers. Oh yeah.

**Highlander X** · 03-20-2004, 14:25

those units are amazing, but it's almost like you need to edit the terrian to make it crisp as the units, yeah i know not possible. those units stand out in contrast to the terrian, it just looks odd.

but beautiful work definatly looking forward to this mod, amazing work

**Lord Zimoa of Flanders** · 03-20-2004, 15:54

DJ,
Will you have the famous historical battles/campaign as well,i know you asked for some help in creating the maps?

Actually, It is possible to edit terrains, * Turns towards DJ and gets a sinister grin* I know that your more interested in Models but have you ever tried making textures?

Anyway, just wondering

**TosaInu** · 03-20-2004, 22:44

Actually, there are already edited textures for terrain. Arid and lush. http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/MTW/Maps.shtml 10-19-03 by 7bearpolar7, Bumpmap effect. I guess they'll match the units.

**Eastside Character** · 03-20-2004, 23:02

Duke John,

Those squires and others look like if they were real

**Emp. Conralius** · 03-21-2004, 00:37

DJ,

Will the pikes for your Pikemen unit actually appear sharp?

Lets not forget how the pikes in MTW looked like matchsticks, lol

**[{LgtDiv}] Lord Thindigital** · 03-21-2004, 14:10

Great Work Duke John,

These units look awesome :)

congratulations

regards

LTD

**Emp. Conralius** · 03-21-2004, 23:09

Wow, this is the only mod based on actual history that I'm excited to try.

Without exception, the units look fantastic. Particularly the Squires They look as though they came right out of the pages of history. Good show

**Polyphemos** · 03-22-2004, 08:52

Astonishing… those units looks brilliant. I particularly like the squire.

The War of the Roses is a very interesting part of history, and I think it will make a god add-on. Looking forward to those Prickers.

**Brianbbj** · 03-22-2004, 20:33

DAMN AMAZING DUKE JOHN

You are a TW God why do you not work for those who make Total War games.....

Stuff like this is making Medieval: total war into an everliving classic, even when R:TW comes out.

I just hope that you will expand this Mod also to include the English Civil War.

**Lord Xelous** · 03-24-2004, 07:10

Great work sir...

We're not worthy

**Sun Tzui** · 03-25-2004, 17:21

GREAT WORK

AWESOME UNITS

How's the work progressing?

**Marshal Murat** · 03-28-2004, 16:55

Whens it coming out, so I can read the black arrow?

**Duke John** · 03-28-2004, 17:38

Back from vacation, so back to modding MTW.

Thank you all for the kind comments

About the terrain textures. I've looked into this before and you can't get them clearer since they are so blown up so much. In the screenshots the units look a bit sharper because I used the sharpen effect in PSP to sharpen (well duh) the images. JPGs tend to be smoothed, and since I wanted my units to look sharp (excuse the pun) I used that effect.

Again thank you all, it will encourage me alot to continue modding

Cheers, Duke John
