    Cheers Tombom, at the moment I'm going to plod through getting a head-start on the graphics as it's a pretty huge job but I could definitely use your help when stuff is a bit more together.

    I think you might want to think of a special unit for the japenese - right now they look slightly boring. Maybe dragon chariots? (I'm unimaginitive

    hoggy, I have linked this thread over in a thread about what mods exist at the com. If you don't want it, I'll delete the post.

    does RTW currently support huge units such as Wang Liang or the copper dragon, which probably has to have a new animation?

    This is my new most anticipated mod now, it simply looks incredible! Keep up the good work

    Awesome hoggy!

    Just one note: Japanese bows are NOT held like regluar bows!

    The Japanese bow (yumi) is a very very long bow (2 meters in some cases) made of bamboo. It is thin, none composite and has little recurve. it is not held in the middle of the bow. The archer holds it about 2/3 of the way down the bow, so that most of the bow is above his hand. This was so that he could shoot it from a horse. Later when foot archers came into use the same practice was kept.

    Also, with the armor, I would love it if you kept it in the older style boxy yoroi type rather than the later Sengoku type... Most people think yoroi style when they think samurai.

    Anyways, looking forward to those models, hope you can release them right after you're done so we can play around with them before the full mod comes out... they've started that practice on a lot of the other mods!

    Here are the Ghost Geisha units from the army list. Not sure if I'll be able to keep the transparency as it's playing havoc with my pc.

    Just had to comment on how awesome this is coming along...

    If I could just make a quick suggestion.

    It would be great if heroes had special abilities. For example an elephant can throw men into the air, maybe you could have an evil hero with the same ability.

    *Has an image in his head of an evil hero slashing Samurai into the air*

    Might be a bit stupid but just thought i'd let ya know...

    Thx

    This is possible. Any unit can toss people about. It's a simple attribute to the primary/secondary attack stats.

    Quick question, how are MODs (particularly Blue Lotus) in RTW usually installed? Can I still play the orig RTW even with the mods in place?

    No, you can't play vanilla with a mod installed. But you can just copy the vanilla directory before you install the mod, then you'll have two installs, one modded, one vanilla, and you can play both.

    Depends on the mod makers. Large mods can be made without touching original R:TW. It will become an expansion like BI that requires a seperate shortcut to start.
