Re: Caledonia Total War mod
Hi everyone,
Hmmm, about two evening's work - I was using the Roman stratmap named character model as the basis for the Brit officer but I made a happy discovery that the eastern named commander looked better for the part - fat and gouty, perfect for Butcher Cumberland hehehe - and with some modification the helmet looks like a tricorne (I hope you agree!), while the Roman character figure did very nicely for the Jacobite character - it looks more like the Seven Years War period British light dragoon, while the Carthaginian character looks like a Revolutionary/Early Napoleonic Wars British light dragoon with the Tarleton helmet. The Jacobites wear the Stuart of Appin tartan, but unfortunately there's no way I can make it drape properly over the shoulder as the figures use a mirror effect with texturing. The Jacobite named characters for their part wear a variation of the French Royal Ecoissais uniform - highland blue bonnet, blue coat with red facings similar to the French Guard though I trimmed it in gold to make it stand out more as an officer's uniform. Wish the cape could be made to drape instead of hanging down like Superman's cape! Should the Highlander keep his current design (torso naked) or would it be better if we cover up some of the skin? :)
Cheers,
Clare
Re: Caledonia Total War mod
Will the game allow the building of military roads and government forts?
Re: Caledonia Total War mod
I think that it would be better if you cover up the chests.
And I assume that it would allow for military roads and forts, using the Rome thingy in it already.
I will get started on the campaign map, but exams will make it start slowly, so I can't say how long it will be.
Re: Caledonia Total War mod
What about features such as Duart, Inverlochy, Ellian Donnan castles and barracks such as Ruthven and Bernera?
and good luck with your exams! :bow:
Re: Caledonia Total War mod
After looking at the LOTR mod for Rome, I think that each of the more imposing castles can have thier own model on the campaign map, hopefully, with a separate model for other castles
I don't think that castles will be buildable in the mod, only fortifications. There will be existing castles that can be used, though
Re: Caledonia Total War mod
Haha okay, I thought so too! Okay, button up and cover up Scottie! But its so funny how the fat and gouty look for Cumberland turns into the brawny clansman look for the Scot (same model used!)
(Scots too sexy for their shirt, too sexy for their shirt)
Cheers,
Clare

Re: Caledonia Total War mod
Hello
Finally a great idea for a mod..! Is the work on this mod still going on?
I am a Dutch History student with an obsesion for Scottish History (especially the Jacobite Uprisings). I was always hoping that someone would make such a mod, because i'm not good at making mods. If you're still in need of some Historical info about de uprisings or specific things just let me know. I'm willing to help you in anyway that i can!

Re: Caledonia Total War mod
some unfortunate new : I got a virus or two on my computer, and subsequently had to delete quite a lot of stuff, so I no longer have the regions image, nor the heights image. With all my school work and impending exams, it seems unlikely that I can remake the stuff, but shall try as much as I can.
Re: Caledonia Total War mod
Hi King M
How far did you get with the MTW side of this mod,
Did you get down to a list of Units for the differnt time periods ? Or did you get round to creating any BIF ?
Re: Caledonia Total War mod
I got the map more-or-less competed to the stage where I could input it to LMM (although I don't know if it would work or not), I think.
Re: Caledonia Total War mod
any chance of a peek? ~:)
