New Unit Feedback For LK's Test Pack

[Galestrum]

Hey LK

first off good job to you and your crew, some of those unit pictures are just awesome http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

since this is a test and i just tested here goes my feedback

In my game when i went to battle all archers and spearmen looked like treb archers and normal spearmen, so im certain that is what was intended for the test http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

everything appears to be in order except one thing http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/shock.gif

any time i right - click on the (1) vikingbondi (2) scottish archer units on the strat map my computer makes a *ping* sound and then freezes

so i cannot see the unit details window with them

this forces me to ctrl alt dlt, and close the game and sometimes it causes my system to do a complete reboot

the other units do not do this and are ok as far as i can tell

anyways great job so far, pretty impressive, cant wait to see the final product http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Lord Krazy]

Thanks for the feedback.

open \campmap\info_pic\units

find ScotishArcher.bif.bif

and change to"ScotishArcher.bif"

DO NOT PUT SCOTTISH just Scotish ok



and Vickingbondi.bif to "Vikingbondi.bif"

that should sort that I hope.

Thanks again

[Galestrum]

hehe almost forgot, i really liked the Immortals Unit...Byz Inf with Spears http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Lord Krazy]

Ye they had the spelling right too http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
(which impressed me more) http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

LK http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[fenir]

hehehehe "Immortals" are supposed to be Hoplites I think http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

so they are named wrong


http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif


hehehehehehe

sorry i couldn't resist.

[Lord Krazy]

Unless they were Persian Immortals than the region
would be wrong http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif
Now you see hard this can be http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

LK http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif

[fenir]

Yes I do see how hard it is, as I am having to try lots of different combinations in order to achieve my out come.

Which might I add isn't even as good as it should be.

But I shall be mindful of my thoughts, and press on.

[Galestrum]

Hey LK good job yet again...im a byz fan and boy am i happy with what ive seen so far http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

um one thing i noticed with new 35 pack - test

the Byzantine Menavlatoi do not appear to have a weapon in tactical battles http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif just guys with shields...dont know if i did something wrong or not?

another question...are the anatolian highlanders going to appear as treb archers in the final version in tactical...reason I ask is *i requested them for byzantines* and having a hybrid unit like the anatolians looking exactly like the treb archers could be confusing at times http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wacko.gif

yet again guys gj

i am not even playing MTW anymore until this is finally complete, as for at least myself, this will make the game much better

[Lord Krazy]

Thanks again Galestrum,
I'm sure any problem you encounter is MY fault
even with other peoples units.
I do the final compilation.
So I'm going to miss acouple of things.
This is why I need you guys to tell
me this stuff.It will speed the process up
no end http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

The Menavlatoi should be spelled Menavatoi
and should not have a shield.
I'm not sure what your problem is there.
Any way more update will be added
this week http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
As for Anatolians I can use any one you want
with a bow, so you tell me.
LK http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif

[Lord Krazy]

Btw G,
I said at the start if I could make one MTW fan
happy with this mod then I would be happy.
So thanks for making me happy http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Hey LK http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

yeah i dont know about the menavlatoi hehe they have shields and no weapons when the should have weapons and no shields http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif hehe would it be possible to make them appear a lil more like italian infantry in the tactical?

i really liked the drawing of these guys, they are more fearsome than i ever imagined them to be when i suggested them http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

also as far as anatolian highlanders, i think something along the lines of the turcoman foot soldiers would be more apt in appearance than the treb archers. additionally would it be possible to arm them with axes?

reason being is they are a hybrid archer/shock unit, same as my next unit you are doing

also another unit o mine im looking forward to is the armenian infantry....if you could make them look similar to the ottoman infantry, armed with bows and swords thatd be great

yeah you guys are doing a great job, cant be more pleased http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif

[Galestrum]

on a side note LK, i noticed that the anatolians didnt have some of the "abilities" i suggested for them. is that because you havent added all the individual unit stats yet or an oversight?

if an oversight the anatolians should have a :

good attack
bonus vs armoured
strong charge
weak defense

thanks again http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[Galestrum]

another thing popped into my mind. the untamed barbaric lands of north eastern europe seem to be lacking units.

Has anyone requested some slav infantry, archer, spear, or cavalry units? these really should be in the game, particularly early as they were a large part of the early viking states of kiev rus and novgorod

on a similar topic, how about just ordinary/generic pagan/barbaric shock units/javelins, archers, spear anthing?

these would add more flavor/atmosphere to eastern europe as oppossed to just horse archers / spearmen /steppe cavalry

maybe even an elite heavy/med cavalry for the pagan/slavic ppls

i know you guys do this on your free time so if its a pain i understand completely, it was just a thought on perhaps adding to the game.

If these are already in the works forget i asked http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

anyways thanks again http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

[Galestrum]

on a further side note http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif it doesnt bother me that the menav have shields, they look really cool in the pic with them http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[fenir]

Hello Galestrum,

I loaded up and re-tested the Menavatoi, they seem to be working.

what specifically are your ones doing?

fenir

[Galestrum]

they worked, moved and attacked fine. but they simply had no weapons in their hands which i thought odd. No spear or pikes were visible.

If this is just my problem thats ok, just posted it as it may be a problem for everyone.

[fenir]

hmmmmm

I would suggest reinstalling them? If that doesn't work let me know, I will send you the files LK orginally sent me as a test.

fenir

[Lord Krazy]
