XVI -XVII mod

[YanTraken]

Illogical-maybe,but I`m sure it is a fact.Osprey presents ski trooper with one stick in one hand and with bow and arrows in other.Plus they had muskets in the later time.But I think it depended from some fashion of skiing(they were using legs more often than today.Stick was used sporadically).I`m not sure,but I need those information to finish animation of ski unit.

Greetings all,

Returning to serious gaming after too many years in academia, I come upon Total War, and esp. Hellenic TW. Very damn nice. There was a comment above re other versions of the 30 Years War - there was (is) one; it's a "mod" by one Drummaker (sorry about the spelling!) some 10 years ago from the Warlords II series (Deluxe). Available at Warlords Encyclopedia (Bob Heeter).

I will wait, impatiently, for the spring version. Thanks for working on this!

Cheers,

Lambere

I am sure that they indeed used only one stick to move. About their pose - it was similar to the present skiiers, so watch some sport channels or so

No need to worry about the fact that they will use only one side to push themselves, that is pretty enough as well.

Hey,

I have a few questions on these skiing units:

Namely, how will the AI handle them in arid and desertic climates? I don't think it should be possible for them to fight in those climates at all except as maybe rank-and-file light infantry.

[cegorach]

I will try to make them very hard to build for the AI, but if someone chooses them to use in the desert intentionally I can't do anything against it - it is player's choice after all even if completely unrealistic

[Inal_the_Great]

Well Desert skiers... Dont sound that bad at least!

[YanTraken]

Yeap,we should also add them some towing lug for Camel sled and oasis detector.

[beauchamp]

Speaking of camel sleds and sand skiing, are the tuaregs included in Pike and Musket?

[Inal_the_Great]

Okay perhaps this is more for Pike and Musket 2 (Medieval Total war 2) but the capital of Circassia should be Chantchir not Chantgir I just realized my mistake sorry about that!

BTW here is something you can use to show how the mod Is progressing...


For example lets just say that right now, we are at 94% overally.

How is this idea?

[YanTraken]

It looks nice but I would feel like talking with robot or reading print out from computer.I prefer to read what Cegorach says about progress .Personally I`m to lazy for making such a advancement bar
Still it`s worth a try-putting Your idea at the end of Cegorach news presentation

[Inal_the_Great]

Its just me probably I love numbers!

[Radier]

Its just me probably I love numbers!

Yes me too! Especially statistical numbers.

Hmm I just go with "img search".

Example: "<img src="pictures/picture1.png" and picture1 comes up. But it was a long time ago a worked with html so I don't know...

[YanTraken]

Thank You mighty Viking:)I`ll see what I can do:)

[Radier]

Just pm me if it doesn't work.

[cegorach]

One of new screens

French Royal Musketeers





Regards Cegorach

[Radier]

They look good.

[cegorach]

Today I have received the most complicated and sophisticated animations for the mod, screenshots soon + I have several older to show as well

[Radier]

Might that be our skeetroopers??

What happens if you invade, let's say Estonia, with them and it is summer? Will they skii on the grass?

[cegorach]

Nope there is something more complicated...

The skii units will always have the option to 'dismount' before the battle into light sniper infantry called Marksmen, but during the winter BEWARE !

[Radier]

Ah genious! Shall use them alot against russians!

[YanTraken]

I`m almost sure they are not skeetropers:)
Radier-please stay in Your beautiful country and do not plan any other Europe conquests.One Gustavus in history is enough JOKE
and Tacka du for hjalpa oss.Jag forsok forlara sig Swedish vid internet.
Hm,I hope I`m not declaring war

[Radier]

Hmm can you give us a clue what they are?

Hehe Gustavus would have been proud if he could play PMTW 1.5! ;)
I shall not let him down...

"Hm,I hope I`m not declaring war"
I can say Poland just climbed my 'attack-list'.

And how come you can write in swedish Pan Yan??

[YanTraken]

About the clue->Cegorach knows when it will be the proper time for it.I can only give You a tip that Swedish were also had a tough fight with them.

"I can say Poland just climbed my 'attack-list"
-In that case I need to build some landing craft medium and visit mabe Goeteborg with my winged friends-heh

"and how come you can write in swedish Pan Yan??"
Pan Yan?!?Whoa,nice first steps in polish Radier!
I have no idea how I`m writing Swedish.It`s just happening....with a small help of swedish-english dictionary:D

[Radier]

Dziękuję Pan Yan!

Rozmawiać Twój Język is Łatwy!

But I think I will stick to english.

Oh and I will of course wait for Ceg to post it. :)

[YanTraken]

Radier My noble Friend!now You speak human!But right-English does`nt have so many dots,commas and other squiggles as our languages:)
I hope You gonna like those two last units We made.

[cegorach]

Everybody will, besides I haven't shown some earlier screens...

I am uploading something that is why I have so much 'free' time...

[beauchamp]

[Ironside]

Tacka du for hjalpa oss.Jag forsok forlara sig Swedish vid internet.

That would be: Tack för att du hjälper oss. Jag försöker att lära mig svenska med internet.
In English: Thank you for helping us. I'm trying to learn Swedish with the Internet.
I think that's it, some parts of the second sentence needed guesswork.
