Unlikely. THe mod currently has over 600 units and with the patch added this will give about 700 and this is not over yet - I do not do this to boast about, but to have as much realism as possible. Because of this only a number of units in the mod might get the dead bodies, I am sorry this is the price for huge variety of the units here.:book:
PMTW 1.5 was shown on the front side of the ORG

Well... better later than never.:2thumbsup:

Anyway I think you should still try to include dead animations in a future patch its a real bummer to watch empty fields after a battle.
I mean you know what satisfaction the sight of thousands of dead bodies lying around brings after a huge battle!! :skull: :skull: :2thumbsup:

Btw I am sorry for the World Cup! Poland has disappointed us all. :no: :shame: Equator was really really good!! :dizzy2:
Argentina will win I guess..
Good luck in European Cup 2008
~:cheers:
Is it possible to make it so every single infantry unit has the same corpse? It would be a bit silly I know, but in my opinion better than nothing. Surely then it would use up fewer animations? Then you could have another for the cavalry. At least then there would be some kind of indicator as to how much carnage has been caused... I also find it genuinely useful with ranged units to see how fast they're killing the enemy.
Sorry to double post; I forgot, I had another question - in the English Civil War campaign, what are you doing about the names of the provinces? All of them are either spellt in ye olde englishe and/or not relevant to the time frame.
The only help I could give is that the five provinces in Wales should keep their names (they're counties today) but that they be actually spellt in Welsh, rather than whatever spelling VI uses. The correct spellings would be Gwynedd, Powys, Dyfed, Clwyd and Gwent (not Gwynet, Pouis, Defet, Clwyd and Guent or however they're spellt in VI).
Nice to see you Inal. ~:cheers:
I agree to what Figaro says. It feels kind of weird with a battlefield without bodies. :sweatdrop:Quote:

DEAD BODIES
The issue will be resolved somehow, but not now - I need to finish the animations in the mod and it will happen with next full release - perhaps at the end of August we will see.
PATCH
I have generally very little free time, but hopefully I will have it finished in this week - the one factor which might dalay it is 35+ C currently in Poland - I really hate this weather, we are in Northern Europe for God's sake...
@Figaro123
I will use the Wesh spelling, thank you. I generally know maybe not enough about several things in this conflict e.g. counties' names, so ECW campaign will need some suggestions to correct some things, we will see how many.
Still it should be great fun to play.
Soon I will throw some screnshots from the aditions in the patch, of course if the weather will not kill me...:dizzy2:

Just played a campain with Russia in LATE campaign, and was really surprised that you weren't gaining new units like line infantry and line cavalry after peter the great reform, it was also impossible to build a master gunsmith. As those to units are available in custom battle mode, is it possible to have them in the LATE campaign. Historically it was russia's reformed army who beaten the swedes and kicked them out of Russia, including grenadiers. So far I've seen just the french having line infantry in the campaign mode. Is it a bug or what ? If not will the situation be corrected in the next patch ?
Thanx in advance

Re: Error message with Pike & Musket
Thank you cegorach1 for the response I can see the problem now misread the MTW VI in the PMTW 1.5 readme as V1 for “version one” not Viking Invasion. I think I should add ‘stupid’ to my name.:embarassed:
Great news from Barocca !
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=66357
2 more BIFs, damn it is worth its size in gold for me, what shall we add then, you can even propose something guys !
@speedythefreak
Yes it was a bug, hard to find, but there is no excuse for it I shall commit harakiri right now.:embarassed:
Can you explane for us 'lousier modders' what this two new texturefolders do?Quote:

Even MORE animations from 1 per BIF to even 4 ( cavalry).
So that is why it is so damn useful :balloon2: :balloon2:
OK. I will now reveal the 'grand strategy' - the list of planned new animations added later.
1. Musketeers in morions,
2. New, alternative animations of musketeers in hats,
3. Armoured Landsknechts,
4. Unarmoured Landsknechts,
5. Russian Streltsy,
6. Ukrainian Cossack infantry,
7. Jannissaries with muskets,
8. Scottish pikemen/musketeers,
9. Polish pikemen/musketeers,
10. Field fortifications,
11. Uzbek cavalry,
12. Early Polish Husaria/Spanish Herruello/French mounted royal musketeers (the last already present in mod)
13. Russian/eastern cavalry - 3 types,
14. Muslim cavalry - 3 types including Beduins and cannons on camels,
15. New mounted arquebusiers/demilance/reiters in morions,
Each point is often a series of new animations, sometimes easy to put together (cavalry), often not.
It is the list of all new animations which I intend to add, some of them extremely difficult and most likely will appear after the PMTW 2.0 for MTW VI in a special patch finishing the entire project for MTW VI.
If you have proposals for new animations, please post these - it is generally my decision what to add, but good ideas won't be wasted especially with two new animation folders to use !

Umm yeah, in one sence maybe since they did win at Poltava, but it sure was not because they were of great quality.Quote:
Historically it was russia's reformed army who beaten the swedes and kicked them out of Russia, including grenadiers.
In fact, had Charles been well (his personal importance on the battlefield cannot be exxagerated, indeed he was there but on a stretcher and thus not able to lead as usual and not inspire as usual) and one of the three columns of swedish infantry hadnt stopped to charge the redutts in spite of orders to walk passed them, the russians would have been in for yet another Narva. It came very close to it as it was in spite of russian numbers, fortifications and large number of cannons.
Charles also showed at Holowczyn in 1708 how to deal with this "new russian army".
So, it was king winter, a gunwound, a meaningless charge of a redutt and lack of supplies that really beat the Swedes, not a perfect russian fighting machine.
How perfect it was was shown at Prut 2 years later where the Russians were at the mercy of the Turks who let them slip away for Azov.

Wow, alot of animations! :2thumbsup:
Hey Ceg,
I just wondered whether you could still have dead bodies for all your 600-700 units, and save a lot of time/effort, by just having two generic figures, say an infantryman and a cavalryman/horse. The detail needn't be great, just dark and bloody suggestive lumps with a bit of faction colour. Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Please forgive any technical ignorance of the deadbodies issue. :dizzy2:
It will generally be simplified, but for now it is left for later till the bulk of the new animations will be ready...:juggle2:
Whatever you may think that wasn't the point I was trying to make...The reformed army in question was far to be on an equal term ( quality speaking ) to the swede army, sorry to have left the impression that the russian reformed army could be compared on equal term to the swedish one. All I wanted to say is that its sad to get no new unit out of a reform...I do think that a strelitz composed army would have been destroyed at Poltava and that the new european style units, even if of less quality,( but quite numerous...) gave more flexibilty to Peter on the field than the post-medieval strelitz units, but general winter combined with systematic cossack bands harassment made the job again a century later...but that is in a more strategic perspective...
Hail to you

hi cegorach1, i usually post over at .com but recently joined the .org to post where more people interested in your mod reside.
just curious, i have used the gnome editor and never notice attack/defense/speed numbers for naval units, how did you accomplish adding new naval units and adjusting their numbers. i hoping this not too complicated a question.
regards,hd
I hope the new animations for line/grens are still in the plan??
Hello there I'm playing a swedish campaign in the Religious turmoil period, I don't understand why but after 1648 I'm unable to build Svarta Ryttarna units. IF I look in the unit_prod file that should't be the case, the unit should be buildabable in HIGH,LATE, is it a bug and is there a way to correct the situation
Speedfreak:help:

Congrats cegorach1.
A truly quality mod.
I have herd about a new campaign map being made.
What will it look like?
Slightly expanded to the east, but with less provinces in Middle East, Africa and Asia Minor to add some in main european areas e.g. Germany, Hungary, France, Holland and in eastern europe.
Regards Cegorach:book:
Sounds great.:2thumbsup:
New map sounds good, look forward to it.
I've just started a Crimean Tartar (Late) campaign on expert and was a bit shocked by the state of the economy. Low start-up fund being on expert, and even with my best administrators there was a negative cash flow. Tried out a few attacks, but got seriously whupped in every direction. Seems like the Atlis don't have very much ammo, and they just get eaten in melee. I'm not one for disbanding troops just for the sake of the economy so I tried a few different openings. It's difficult to tell which way to go with only two agents and a minimum 5years to get a watchtower in Levidia (need the keep first). As it was I had to put my money into farm upgrades straight away.
Allied to the Ukrainians and Turks pretty quickly, and was planning to take the Circassians on first, but by the time I got any agents there the Russians were already besieging them. Fortunately the Ukrainians took on the Poles, who left Volhynia undefended. Quick raid and raze everything, and I had a bit of cash at last! After that I was able to hold Volhynia and use it as a base to punish the Poles (sorry Ceg :laugh4: ) I'm now getting a few ships in the water and trading down to Constantinople and Nicaea which is helping the cashflow a bit.
I managed to take Poland, and started training Muslim Feudal Levies for bulk. As long as I keep a small garrison the Poles seem happy to not re-invade, soon as I put an army in there they go for me. Seems a bit strange? Anyway, congrats on the winged Husaria, they are impressive units to see, and pretty tough!
Tactically I feel a bit outdated, with my cav archers melting under withering musket fire, and not able to fight the Husaria too well in melee. Because of the lack of cash I've not trained much infantry, so have yet to try them in battle. Battle plan is usually hit-and-run with the atlis, trying to envelop and then hit them with the royal cav, arkans and the unpronounceable ones with the flaming arrows :laugh4:
I think this is going to be a tough campaign, and still not too sure on the best strategy, either raid and turtle, or try to expand territorially immediately. Bad news is the Danes are coming, having almost crushed the Cossacks. I've beaten them once in a joint siege-break battle with the Cossacks, but not sure I have the manpower to face them alone yet. Hopefully the Swedes will wear the Russians down soon, and I'll try to go eastward, but for now I'm precariously caught between Danes (neutral again), Poles (enemy), Turks (ally) and Russians (neutral), and my empire is long and thin, with the bulk of my forces in Volhynia.
I also have Scots middle era campaign going, and I have all of Britain, France down to Toulouse, and my income is insanely high. 200,000+ Florins in the war chest. Just started producing veteran Scots musketeers - very nice unit!! Thanks again for the great mod :2thumbsup:
The Tatars are one of the hardest factions in the game and sadly there isn't much to change it, besides I don't really want to they should be very hard to play.
Anyway their units will be slightly changed - Nogay Asker will become Budiak Asker - much better cavalry with limited zone of recruitment ( a kind of alternative unit for the Atli) also the Izci Tatarlar will get some small firepower and finally Atli Tatarlar will get the additional steed - I have slightly changed the animations for them and now the second horse is placed in more realistic way.
BTW Try the Circassians - strange but they seemed to be easier than the Tatars, but I had to fight some very hard battles with 4 deplented units of cavalry defeating almost 10 times larger Russian army...
I finally decided how to use the 2 new custom BIF files for animations
1 goes for dismounted cavalry/elite special light infantry like the Portuguese Sailors - the new feature will be a sword in one hand and a pistol in another - fighting animations are planned to use both weapons in melee, should look quite spectacular when YanTraken manages to prepare them.
2nd one will be used for balcan light infantry/anatolian/middle east highland footmen and something special you will see when it is ready - MTW engine gives amazing possibilities and I am still amazed how few were used in the vanilla game or many other mods...
It is like in bloody Hell here in Poland, making anything for the mod takes 10 times more time than in the Spring... Anyway I am closer and closer to the release of the patch, PMTW 2.0 will follow it in less than 3 months time' generally finalising the project.:2thumbsup:
Ceg, is there anyway I can help with the mod?
