No, they are not http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
They are generated by MTW (is it F2?) as tga's when your in a campaign. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Nice pic's - tells me you've already successfully changed one or 2 things - no prob's hopefully.
(more info re- your project forthcoming - I really like your project - something really different for MTW). http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif

You won't require a seperate copy of MTW for this Drenai mod. All you require is a copy that MTW that can be amended.
You may have many different mod's on your PC, all with different campaign maps and having different versions of some MTW files.
LMM handles such a variety of mods and allows you to Install/Backout any mod as you wish.
For example, Install the "Drenaia mod" via LMM, and play it. When you want a change merely Backout this mod (via LMM) and Install something different. Then play that
I currently have 11 different campaign-map-type mods (not all completed of course - many just serve as examples) in my copy of LMM. I Install/Backout any mod depending on what it is I'm doing/testing. All within ....
... 1 moddable copy of MTW only
Ah thanks for the info http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Well I meant Maps made possible by the use of LMM4V2 Hows that which is an invaluable tool by the way, it will revolutinize modding as we know it once finalized and released.

Drenai is a series of Novels set in a fantasy realm, Drenai Total War will try and recreate that realm as close a possible within the MTW format. This will be sometime in the making , and we are releasing screenshots, units and such just to peak your interest and see your individual responses, We hope this Fantasy Mod will be something different in a long line of excellent Mods here at the Org. Thank you for your patience...
Nice work.
I heard that VI will expand the posibility of modding and make modding more flexible. Also, the capability of having more than one trat map, I wonder what that is. Hosting different trat maps with different set of stats?
I currently don't play any mod, but I use the ideas and the work in many mods (King David's mod, Wes' mod, LK's mod,...) to make my own. Thank to all modders.
I am waiting for VI before trying any mod. Hopefully, Drenai will be ready by then.

For anyone interested, keep your eye on this spot, tomorrow will be more screenshots, of some the fifteen or so units that are ready for this mod so far. Also i'd like to add that if there are any people out there who have read the Drenai books and have requests/suggestions for units to post them here and I will see what I can do. some of the units so far are; Dragon Heavy Lancers, Drenai Infantry and Drenai Regulars plus Legion Cavalry, just to name a few. there is more on the list and even more to be added, so stay tuned.

That peninsula in the second screenshot look suspiciously like Korea... are the Drenai books alternate-history?
Author, titles, please.
Cheers. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wacko.gif

Which shots you talking about. The units shots are done using the orginal MTW map.
And no its not an alternate history series. not in korea either.
Author - David Gemmell
Titles - Legend, Waylander, The King Beyond the Gate, Waylander 2, The First Chronicles of Druss, Waylander 3, The Legend of Deathwalker, The Quest for Lost Heroes, Winter Warriors.
All great books if you ask me. you should give them a read

This looks really good , and really well made . I personally havent bothered with any other total conversion mods (if theve been any ) due to them not looking as well made as the original mtw (so whats the point changing a good game for a sub standard one) but this mod and the lords napoleonic mod are looking really good and i cant wait for them to be completed.
I have also read waylander and waylander 2 so i have a nice interest in this mod. And waylander happens to be one of the best fantasy books i have ever read (and i have read books by tolkein , eddings , feist ,The LOne wolf Series and many others )
