Although we still don't know much about RTW engine, I believe we can start our new thread about implementing our mod using RTW ( or future MTW 2) engine.
As far as I know it is possible to have about 300 units in RTW. If it is true this means we can add at least 30 additional units to our list in the XVI-XVII mod on MTW engine.
That is very good I believe.
Soon I will add some proposals for the new units.
For now, that is all.
Regards Cegorach/Hetman ~:cheers:
I was just wondering how long would it take for You to announce this ~;)

Polish Winged Hussar (early)

Brilliant !!! :bow:
Marvellous !!! :charge:
Amazing !!! ~:cheers:
.... Ok I am all right now.
For early Hussars remove the wimgs, for late please eliminate the shield, the rest is perfect to me !!! ~D
Okay
I ask a pardon for absence of animal fur on shoulders...))
There was no place on texture... Though if remove wings to early (though I met the images with wings, but some other kind) - that is possible I shall add fur of leopard. can then early to make with sabres? And late - with pikes?
Still I would like hear the comment concerning cosssacks. You have received my letter?
wow! I've got to say that looks very promising ~:cheers:
BTW, Sad Ronin, my aunt lives in Odessa.
So here is the unit list - it is from P&M TW for the MTW, so more units can be added as well.
The names are in national languages, some units will be also available as mercenaries, regional troops or for several factions.
Units unique for one faction only are marked with #
FACTIONS AVAILABLE - the rest will be rebels and their units will be available as regional units for every/several factions untill it will be possible to add more ( an addon to the RTW ???).

I will edit this post if something serious will be changed.
ALL these units are already available in the MTW edition of this mod - check the thread in the Engineers Guild and my sign for downloads.
The beta 0.6. pre-release is including two from many more historical battles for this mod.
ALL these units are known in details ( mostly), which allows recreating them in the RTW engine mod.

sorry to start criticising as Im probably not the one who should be speaking, but I have to say that "Vybranniye Soldati" sounds stupid ("Chosen Soldiers" in english).
Well Russian units name sounds fine for me except Vybranniye Soldaty and Streletskiye Kopeyshchiki i always thought that Strelets were russian word for musketeer.
@Sad Ronin

You could call the Scottish Musketeers 'Royal Scots'
@ Dead moroz
Why dont call them pikeyschiki or musketeri.
About the guard, well call them just Vybranniye (the chosen) instead of the chosen soldiers which sounds waaaaay more stupid.
And as a side suggestion, why dont you write in english to make it readable to everyone else as well. :book:
WOW!!! That's one hell of a lot of factions you got there.
Limitations: 20 total (21 including rebels) and this includes the 4 auto-allied factions. If you take away three auto-allied factions and just leave the Senate (you may have to have at least one other) you still have a limit of 17.
I'm bummed by this too, I had to cut a whole load of factions out of the CTW mod.

But "Vybranniye musketeri" or even "musketeri gvardii" and the same for the pikemen to make it a bit more readable.Quote:

see, the point here is not to use 15th century names, because the language actually evolved in the last 5-6 centuries, so theres no much point using names that are meaningless for us. I mean, try to respect the original ones as long as possible, but dont let that lead to ridiculous points. If theres no satisfactory orignal name, then use a different one as long as the concept is the same. Thats my opinion of course...
Okay get your point. ~;)Quote:

But it is possible to have two different units with the same name.
OK, I'll shut up now...
The Irish in this period had Taghcach, they were fairly rare 'file' musketeers, and Oaghancocharan "Woodfolks of Cochoran", who were guerrilla riflemen, and cavalry involved Hobilar (medium cavalry using throwing spears, and a lance, riding hobby ponies, armored in chain with metal plates on it), and Taghhoba, gun-using Hobilar, who wore only padded armor, but would instead ride in a circle round the target, and used an axe in melee.
Other infantry included Claghcach, who are quite advanced over their dark age forebears. Instead of being unarmored and lacking a shield, they use a rather large, thick wooden shield akin to a Scottish targe, and a longsword. Later ones, Omacach, also carried a flintlock pistol, fire a single shot right before they charge, or into a charge enemy, to soften them up for the melee.
Caladnaght (Hard Men), used a large two-handed sword, and were mainly employed for anti-armor purposes, a 'homegrown' version of gallowglass (though they actually preceded gallowglass, who were high medieval mercenaries, originally). Gallowglass used an axe more regularly than a sword, a sparth, which is a double-bladed axehead on a 2 meter shaft. Caladnaght dressed in the same manner as a Gallowglass (and if they were used, utilizing most of the same model would probably do the job for that just fine, just change the weapon, and the skin a bit to give a unique look).
Kerns used a slightly elongated lochaber axe in this period, and are no longer peasants, but semi-professional soldiers, who train and serve 4 months each year (the levies actually cycled in and out, you train 4 months, each man trades places with another, who trains and serves 4 months, and so on).
I know the Irish may seem like a footnote to most people, but France and Spain both saw Ireland as a major nation in this (and most preceding) period, and used, widely, Irish soldiers and mercenaries, but mainly saw them important due to silver and marble that came from Ireland (producing fairly decent trade revenues in Ireland). When the English Victorian Conquests were completed, Irish nobles fled to France and Spain where they were immediately given lands, and sometimes control over private armies. The Irish are only a footnote because the island came under near complete dominion of the British (though, technically, a few towns and small pockets never had British rule exerted on them, and some places in the west felt British rule only slightly). But they had influence over both Spain and France, which is pretty impressive. They're mostly overlooked in this period because, I think, British accounts. The old 'victors write history' chestnut. It's notable many of the conquests were done by buying clan heads and local kings, rather than too many military struggles. While Irish field armies didn't often beat English ones, Irish raiding forces could decimate a force easily 4 times their size. The best Irish units should be fast raiding units who are capable of hiding anywhere, and good ambushers, though Irish fusiliers, called Raohcach, were supposed to be good line infantry, they were just very small in number due to the expense of outfitting them.
The Irish were unified, though it was tenuous, because the English kept buying clan heads, and that was disconcerting to most. Even if not a faction, Irish provinces should then, at least, be heavily prone to rebellion, if possible (as, it was a rebellion in the late 1910s that established a free Irish state, and those rebellions had been going on everywhere there was English rule for nearly 700 years, the Irish were not fond of outside rulers).
Good info Ranika. I checked and you are right there were many spanish military leaders with surnames such as O´Donell and O´Riordan. Most of the fonts are of a later period (XVIII-XIX cent). I guess in the Early modern age the Iquisition was too powerful to allow many of these men to get positions of power.
In the earlier periods, there were fewer Irish leaders, because much of Ireland was still indepedent, so they didn't need to flee to Spain or France yet. Instead, they'd flee to neighboring lands in Ireland, with their forces, and launch counterstrikes. The wars between the English and Irish lasted for centuries (which is another reason just being a rebel province would kind of annoy me, since they would fall too quickly).
Edit;
Well, "indepedent". It was technically a British protectorate, it would not be a British property until the act of union. It did not give Britain soldiers (except as mercenaries) until the act of union, and broke this protectorate status multiple times. Only east and south Ulster, Meath, and the north of Leinster in Ireland were actually under direct British rule.
I edited the unit list post. I have also chosen the factions which should be present in the mod.
I am really disappointed that only so few factions can be used.
I hope that future MTW 2 will allow more.
Anyway, lets do it really good, quality should be our primary concern.
@Names
I do not really care they can be called 'Vybranniye', both units.
Actually the same way it was done in MTW P&M TW also here it is your choice how the units should be called like. ~:)
@ Streletskiye Kopeyshchiki
These were the pikemen used to cover Streltsi from cavalry.
New units for Cossacks and Hungary soon, other factions will get something after this.
Thanks to efforts of many supporters of the P&M TW, especially AlexPeters, Swordmaster and Dead Moroz I have really HUGE resources to choose new units from.
regards Cegorach/Hetman ~;)
That's what I wanted to know.Quote:

Although Ireland will be only a rebellious province/provinces and not a faction ( RTW engine doesn't allow too much) many units from your proposals will be used, I believe.
GENERALLY
Soon we will have our own webside, with some kind of forum, most likely.
Soon I will place new units for Cossacks, Ireland ( rebels) and maybe for Hungary as well.
BTW - there is another historical battle for the P&M TW for MTW ready to download. Several more will be ready later.
