Well, We aim to make it as Historically accurate as we can

Then forget the idea about grenadiers actually throwing granades

i am the lead (aka only

) coder on zulu tw at the mo... but once MTW2 comes out we'll all have to get used to the coding if it becomes too different

why not just have different regiments' represented by, for example, 5th line companies, 5th light companies, 5th grenadier companies and a 5th flag company? or something along those lines

If your talking about having units named that, We cant have like a million units for Americans >.<

Bump, Added some General's Biographies, Concept art, and made minor changes :)

i don't mean each new unit have it's own name... i just mean maybe a regional unit name like 'vermont minute men' or for the europeans '64th regiment of foot' or something along those lines... it could easily be done on rtw so i don't doubt that it could be done on mtw2 since the engines aren't supposidly that different apart from the graphics

Favre, what can you do for the mod besides research before the mtw2 comes out? I ask it, because I'm planning with some friends an mtw2 mod too.

We considered that idea and decided that we would try and get indicidual units with names to appear at scripted times. They would be untrainable but once wiped out could be re-sent by another script.

I'm not Favre, but whatever. We are making some models just for experimentation and possible some skins as well. Just pre-lim as well. Also we are figuring out maps, units, generals, traits etc. but thats just planning

Well, believe it or not we do have alot of information about the MTWII 2 style of models and skins. I learned all this through a friend.

However, We can do some pre-lim to almost finished skins, Models, research, and lots and lots of planning. :)
