Preview of New Conquests mod

@richy:
I don't think I'll take the scientific approach that you have in determining unit stats, but rather a more loose, trial-and-error approach for balance. For the faction specialty units, I plan to have quite a variety. The Sand Union will have a giant camel, another faction will get a tank, the DIE will get dragons (naturally), Yunambi will get berserkers, Kolga will have heavy chariots etc. A few nations will get comparatively normal units, like cavalry or infantry, but they'll still be the elite of their kind.

I've got a problem.

I can do most of the stuff for the demo. It'll take time, and the coding will require vigilance and careful effort, but I can do it. The one problem is that the most apparent aspect of a mod is its graphics, and in addition to being a terrible artist I'm also incompetent in the realm of using graphics programs.

Right now I estimate I'll need ~40 models/re-skins (only two or three significantly original ones though) and maybe thrice as many portraits and icons,etc.

Anywhere I can find modelers up to the task?

If you want I'll model and skin the coastal units that i commented on previously in this thread, just so you can generate more interest from other modders. Only thing i ask is you get me a picture of...
- something you want it to look like
- a drawing of the helmet (if it has one)
- a drawing of the shield design

Otherwise i wish you the best of luck. To be honest, you should just have a go at using the programs and see what u come up with.

Thank you very much for your offer, richy. I'll take you up on it when I've gotten things a bit more organized (a few weeks from now, in other words).

Very good :) its better for it to be sooner than later thats all i can say, few months time and i wont have the time to do it. Its a short quiet period in uni at the moment.
