Yeah I just did a quick bit with the burn tool and then I blurred it and then sharpened the edges to create a better shading style. Finally I just dirtied it up with some grunge brushes. Hadn't really noticed the top and bottom bits on the shield were wrong, good spot I will change that now

Ok are these shields better

Cut some of the things off this one



Made the yellow dimmer and more obvious

I was thinking, maybe wagons shouldn't be buildable - could we have like a 'wagon unit' that forms a 'cantabrian circle' or maybe attach them to a certain unit type (the Boer auxilliaries)? Mealie bags should be expensive but perhaps not really prohibitively so - impossible to move yes. There's a lot of ground to cover anyways so probably about as expensive as catapults or battering rams maybe?

Hi!
I know I haven't commented before but this mod is looking GREAT!

Have you had any success with your "portable" walls - sandbags.

I have recently started a mod
( https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...588#post717588 ) with the aim of considerably expanding and authenticating the cities in the original campaign and can see no reason why our mod could not be incorporated into many others - if your team is willing.

The mod itself is in question at the moment - mostly technical issues to iron out - but I can see alot of potential for it in conjuntion with other mods.

Please don't mind me if you are not interested!

Yours'

Hi Lonley Soldier,

So far I have got the mealie bag wall (sandbag wall) in game but have yet to sort out the animation. When I get a bit more free time. Hopefully this weekend I am going to swap a few animations round to have archers stood behind the walls. Eventually these will be replaced with riflemen but by swapping them round I know it is possible.

I don't know if we need more realistic towns seen as ours is on a completely different map and in a different time period but if we make sure that they can work on the same comp... I don't know.

About moving them - I think they should be stationary like sap points in battlefield view but you can place them at the start of the battle.

A wagon unit would be interesting. Maybee they could replace elephants and we could have people sitting atop the wagon. Like the wagon in this picture

Would they be able to attack or would they be just for supplies or something.
