    Thanks guys.


    Nothing too special about the next two. They are the bottom rung of the New Amazonian roster. A Warband and Skirmisher. The only male units they possess.

    Warband


    Skirmisher


    Now to get to work on Amazon Berserkers. This will not be easy...

    Playboy? *Tuts* that's rude.
    Anyway I have encountered a problem, I downloaded the mod and I can't get it to work.
    Maybe I downloaded the wrong thing?

    Love the way that the Amazons make men their bitches. Not only are they the least powerful units they possess but the male diplomats and assassins have to have female names :L

    Well, you can thank the CA for the part about the names...


    Here is an early version of the Amazon Beserkers.



    I am having a problem getting the bearskin to stick to all of the bones it needs to. I applied a skin modifier and weighted the vertices according to Step 8 here, but with no luck. I will also probably work some more on the skin and mask. But this gives an idea of how they will look.

    SubRosa,

    I've been playing with the Amazon mod and I believe you have done a fantastic job! Very enjoyable, and the factions don't seem to be overly powerful. If CA doesn't ask you to help out with one of their projects, they are really going to be missing out!

    Thanks guys,

    I am thinking of using a different weapon than the double-headed axe, as that is the weapon of the Agema Axes as well. I am not sure what else I might use though. A two-handed sword does not feel right. Or a falx. I know I do not want that spiked club the German Berserkers have.

    One thought I had was to use a single-bladed two-handed axe (the kind the German Chosen Axemen have) in each hand. But that idea seems to go to the ridiculous. Two of the normal single-handed axes might work. But I want something big and ominous.

    A spear just does not seem big and ominous enough. Now that big spiked mace that Sauron had in the battle of the Last Alliance between Elves and Men would be good. But I do not have one of those. I am going to try two falxes or two rhomphaias and see how that looks.


    Weapon aside, the berserkers are coming along. I have not had any luck with the raven mask, so it looks like the one they have now will stay. However, I did finally get the vertices of the bearskin weighted properly, so now it sticks to all the right parts of her. Almost done.

    I never thought of a scythe. You would not happen to have model and texture file of one would you? I could try the sickles that the Druids use and see how that looks as well. I still have some touch ups to do to the skin first though.

    After taking a break from ATW to work on unit cards for the Additional Units Pack by Andalus, I am back to work. I made all of the New Amazonian skins a darker blue, and did some touch-ups on some of the units. I have a few more to go and they will be completely finished.

    I am also thinking to changing the name of New Amazonia to something else. I was never thrilled with it, and I would like something that helps distinguish them from Amazonia. Given that geographically they are in the middle of barbarian territory, and that I have given their units a strong barbarian influence, I think their faction name ought to have a similar barbaric flair. So far I have come up with the following:

    The Disir - (essentially lesser female deities in Scandinavian myth. Freja was called Vanadis, meaning the Dis of the Vanir.)
    The Asyniur or Asynior - (again, the term used for a female goddess, specifically one of the Aesir. Asynia being the singular term).
    The Valkyrja - ("The Choosers of the Slain". Valkyries).

    The rationale behind these names is that this is what the barbarians would have called the Amazons, and the impact that they left upon the barbarian psyche would have caused the name to enter remain in the form of myth long after the Amazons themselves had been gone and forgotten. Much like the Gorgons with Greek mythology.

    What sounds best?


    In other news, I have several non-Amazon units I am working on. The first is a unit I discovered there was a distinct need of in my recent Gorgon campaign. Nubian Spearmen Mercenaries. These guys will provide a much needed source of heavy infantry in the east half of Africa and the Sinai. Since I found that the regular version's stats were woefully poor, I buffed them up a bit as well.



    I have also added a few more names, and will hopefully have more coming. Finally, I have received permission from Signifer One to use his animation pack, so expect to see hoplites and a few other spear units using their weapons over-arm in the future.

    The Asyniur is one of the front-runners for the new name.


    I know it is a little early to be thinking about a sequel, but a little bird whispered something in my ear yesterday. Why not make an ATW 2 that was set in Barbarian Invasion? I could even call it Amazon Invasion. The idea is very appealing.

    There are several factions that no one would miss which could be used for new Amazon factions, such as the Roxolani and Lombards (both of which are just carbon-copies of other factions). I could easily fit New Amazonia (or perhaps the Valkyrja / Asyniur if that is what they turn out to be called) in the Russian forests where they are in ATW 1. They might even replace the Slavs as an emergent horde originating from that area. Amazonia might be found in the Armenian mountains between the ERE and Sassanids, which would make playing them interesting. The Gorgons could replace the Berbers, which I think would make Africa a lot more interesting than the backwater it normally is in BI.

    That is of course if I wanted to keep the original 3 Amazon factions around. I would probably not want to do that. Creating at least one new Amazon faction would be ideal, and having at least one or two of the old ones be extinct.

    This is still a long way off, if I decide to do it. But it is something I am going to keep in mind. One stumbling block (for me at least), is that I would need the services of a good modeller/skinner or two, as this would require all new Amazon units, and creating 100% new ones is beyond me.

    As for the new name for New Amazonia, maybe you could use a german influence corruption of "Amazon". With a few research I bet you could find something..


    The new units look great, I especially like the Nubian Spearmen Mercenaries, since I am planning of making a similar unit for Spartacus.


    Keep up the good work :)

    My latest unit is a female barbarian archer. I created them to get some more female units in the barbarian rosters. Originally I was only going to make them for Gaul and the Britons, but I changed my mind and decided to replace all of the entry level barbarian archers with them. So the Gauls, Germania, Dacia, Scythia, and Rebels will have them, as well as the Britons (as a replacement for their Light Chariot crew)

    Well... this is an odd mod...

    Welp, it looks like quite a lot of work has been done on it, and I applaud you. I would try it out, but I forgot to make a backup in my haste to play a different mod. :P

    The new units look great, and not in that way, and you have certainly made a unique mod.

    Good job :D
