    Default Current and old Versions

    For Screenshots, please see the "Faction Features" thread.

    Below is the current work-in-progress version of BLTW developers are using.
    Please note that this is not a public release and mainly intended for use
    among ourselves; neither the campaign game nor unit stats are final at the
    moment. The base version will be updated every month, and small
    weekly updates will ensure download time stays within reasonable boundaries.
    If available, they have to be applied to the base version in order to arrive at the
    current version we are working on.

    Here it is:
    http://files.filefront.com/BLTW+comp.../fileinfo.html (2009/05/30)

    And the "undead special":
    http://files.filefront.com/NEWtempra.../fileinfo.html (2009/06/01)

    Have fun,
    don't forget
    real life is beautiful,

    The fact that I didn't update this thread regularly doesn't mean I was lazy. it just means I was too busy working on BLTW to do it. Currently, the Akagi and Zensen faction's units are finished (complete with stats). I am uploading a new base version atm, that will also contain several changes to the Master Monks, Night Battles, Lightings, some effects, some of the sound files, the credits, the Intro screen etc. etc. Have fun. And please let me know if you think the stats I implemented are not good.
    2008/11/23
    Time for some updates. During the last month, several units got a reskinning (Kitagata's work), the choson got a new siege unit, the yuwan a new general, me a lot of headaches, and you guys a lot of patience ^.-/
    2008/11/24
    Uploaded weekly update. This file contains some unit appearance changes by Kitagata, a new Choson siege unit, a new Yuwan General, and the *supposedly* *final* stats for all the Japanese units. As a special token I also included the Excel Spreadsheet used for unit stat calculations, so you can take a look at what I've been working on all that time.
    2008/12/24
    Merry Christmas. The Yuwan and Zhuanshi are finished (including a new unit, the "Scorpion`s Sting"), the Monk Models were overhauled. All that is left to balance now are the Yomi and the Rebels.
    2009/02/28
    Finally. After years (!) of modding, I am finally, *finally* able to fully mod animations. This enabled me to do something I always wanted to: editing reload times of missile weapons. Be prepared for a completely new feel for repeating crossbows, thunderbombers and firelances! Yaaaay!!!
    2009/03/01
    Added new animations for the Iron Wall, Singijeon, Sunogung, Chu-ko-nu, Ashigaru Crossbowmen. Happy hunting.
    2009/05/30
    Got rid of a few unused files, bringing the mod back to 550 MB. Changed lots of lots of lots of animations. Check out hiding with the "Kaonashi", throw poisonous bombs with the "Shadow Warriors" or watch sommersaulting "Gaki" Madmen. Smirk and smile, and throw me a laugh!
    2009/06/01
    Uploaded the undead special. Corrected the animations of Ghost Geisha, Zombie Peasants and Zombie Samurai. Added a new unit "Black Lotus Masters". Finished Kaonage, Onibaba, Ghost Geisha, Zombie Peasants, Zombie Samurai and Black Lotus Masters. Have fun getting rid of this literally undying lot ^.^/

    Default Re: Units according to faction

    Well, I guess I just finished my masterpiece. This is a good opportunity to show you guys what takes me so long. Every odd picture will show the original BLTW unit, ane every even one will show what I made of it. Try to note the *slight* difference. ^^





    P.S.: And if you think the original is better... just keep your mouth shut please, haha!
