More units from the battlepack - this time charting the span of the eras covered in the mod. On the left - British line infantry from the early period of the mod. On the right, a Zulu warrior from the late period with a captured rifle and redcoat.
More work performed on the scripted battles. Here's in-game screenshots from the three that have so far been largely completed.
These are from the 2-sided battle - where players can fight as either the British or the Zulu
As well as recognising a couple of familiar faces as the advisors - this is the first look at the Zulu user interface. The dark-brown, pared-down look evokes a particularly different air from the light stone vanilla UI. The bone-like decoration was included to stick to the design lain down in the ZTW mod logo.
Of particular note are the unit cards. In a different spin on the classic unit card we've 'inverted' the scheme - colouring the background with a combination of faction and unit colours and then presenting a silhouette of the unit which lights from black to white when the unit is activated (as you can see in the first example).
Other completed scripted battles are the Hill battle mentioned previously where you command the Zulus in the early days of their ascendancy facing a far larger force of warriors from other tribtes:
And this one set around a wagoon laager.
