Announcing Total War: The Middle Ages

[RtG_WTW]

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Geoff - what's your reasoning behind not including peasants?

What's the use of another middle aged mod?! We already have CTW, and we are very pleased with it.

Why not? He's doing it alone and I bet he's having tons of fun making it. He's not a random teen starting a mod and begging people to help him do everything. Sure, he got Chivalry TW and Citadel TW as "competitions" but as long as he's having fun working on it, that's all there is to it. Not all mods are made to get into some sort of ambiguous virtual popularity contest. Some of us make mods because we like doing it.




Good job, RtG_WTW.

I agree! I am modeling and skinning models for BFME for fun! I like it very much! I don't hurt anyone with it!
Nice job! I would love to help(If you do need it) but I don't have the game . a Coupe of files are Ruined on CD one!

Spot on.

The website has been updated with a unit card pic.

This looks really good. Give me a single player campaign game and youll have a fan for life!

I also posted in the other medieval mod thread that the MTW varangian guards (especially on their parchment picture) were uber-cool. Can we see some of those bad-asses?

Have to agree with Lancelot, a single player campaign game would please alot of people and that since Chivary is still Multi-player until sometime in the near future. Will your game have Norse/Dane Huscarls?

I've quite frequently come up against armies filled with peasants making for tedious battles, and have rarely found a use for them myself other than for garrison duty. It also seems that if poor people went to battle in those days it was almost always as some kind of spear armed unit; they would certainly not be sent into battle with pitchforks and the like. Perhaps they could be added for the rebel faction.

So all in all, it's due to their lack of use in a battle line and to force the AI to train more useful units such as low-level spearmen.

Fantastic stuff. Very impressive, and the best of luck with the mod. If only the AI could be like MTWs too, maybe with the next patch/expansion CA will improve things on that front.

And regarding peasants, I agree that leaving them for rebels is best. The AI loves to build peasants and militia and it's a waste of their population and resources. Militia should perhaps be a little closer to proper infantry/spearmen quality so if the AI does build them, it isn't a total waste.

I hope you´ll be making High era units as well, I´d really like to see those Men at Arms, or knights in full plate armour (like the Lancers - their info pic in MTW just looks awesome).

[RtG_WTW]

Yes I'll do High and Late Era as well.

[SomeNick]

This is an excellent idea. A straight MTW modification to RTW. Something I've been waiting for for some time. Especially if there is SP campaign.

Thanks for your efforts friend and good luck!

Nice website too : )
