Warhammer Total War 2

[Snarkfarfar]

Sounds great! I loved the beta release of WTW1, with the historical battle which I don't remember the name of, only that it was great fun :P.

So I join among those who wish you the best of luck with this project!

Promising proposal there Bwain, it will be good to see a Warhammer modification make it to a release, it certainly has a reachable audience.

Work has begun in earnest now.... even though the tools are not avaiable to put new content in the game.

I have started with the Tomb Kings, since I already had some nice skeleton units in RTW. I have improved the mesh slightly and added clavicles to the units. I have re-done the models to give them a more Egyptian slant, with more fitting weapons and kit. Next job will be to add the chariots and start work on the Tomb Guards and Bone Giants and Ushabti.

I already have skeleton horses which will be put back into service.

The Brettonians are pretty much the ordinary MTW2 units....though I will re-do some of the stuff just for the hell of it!

[Ciaran]

The same goes for much of the Empire units, doesn´t it?

Hopefully we´ll find one way or another to get new models into the game in time.

The stock game is a whole step nearer than RTW, which is why I am so keen to make this happen. The artillery is all there too for the Dwarves :D

Off topic... wow the last time you posted was in that really old archived thread

Water?

and even then I reckon the

What units do bartix have and what faction replaces armenia

thread should be archived

Back to subject

Yeah this will rock after all being able to have differnt textures in a single group of unit using the soldeir will rock with a Warhammer mod

[Faenaris]

Bwian, you make a warhammer mod happen and I will worship you! This is a very good idea and I hope you can make it happen. God, think of the possibilities! Pistoliers, Great Swords, Khorne Beserkers ... I'm salivating already!

[Casuir]

I'd be interested in helping out with this, got some experience modelling and texturing though prob not enough to produce quality goods. Can do 2d stuff as well and have some limited experience with heightmaps if you need someone to do the campaign map. Have practically every army and rule book too, including some warmaster, wfrp and man o' war.

@ Faenaris you realise there is a Warhammer mod for RTW?

[Bwian]

I have been having some fun with my initial models, putting them in BI to see how they look :D

[userfriendly]

You do realize that there is a Warhammer: Mark of Chaos game on the market that utilizes the same engine as MTW2

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/...mer/index.html

you can either play that one or you can probably rip yourself some really awesome models for this mod.

And? How do they look? Screens, if you please (even if it´s "only" BI)

Aye, but I have never tried it. It was for RTW 1.2 only and I was waiting for a 1.5 conversion before I would give it a serious go. It also didn't have a campaign and since I am not a custom-battle-man, that kinda put me off. But the project has fallen silent now, which is a shame. And I can't quite get back into RTW now that M2TW is out.

Now, since Bwian is making one for M2TW and he has way more chance of succes (Reiters are just begging to be called Pistoliers and Forlorn Hope/Zweihander might become Greatswords), I'm VERY excited. I hope that it is possible to implement Orcs too, nothing would please me more than sending the Empire against the Greenskins.

I had looked at the WTW mod and was going to download it until I saw that it was only in Beta and was not looking like it would move any further beyond that. I would definitely download a WTW2 mod after completion, it would be like lord of the rings on crack, a term we use down here on the east of usa to replace rad, narly and such. Seriously, it looked great, on this engine and with improved ai it would be like watching a fantasy movie of epic proportions.

Anyone with any kind of interest in this area will take a look at it, and probably be amazed. It will be what Mark of Chaos should have been. What makes WTW great though is the story line and plot, and if there can be some kind of story line depending on what faction you play as that would add so much more to the atmosphere, although that can be kind of hard because you wouldn't want such a linear path as mark of chaos seems to be, and as shadow of the horned rat was as well.

I'm no modder, I just recently learned about all this, but when I realized that I could play mods, the same game but altered completely in every other way, I was stunned as I could do it for free, and the game was completely new, just the same engine.

Good luck, look forward to seeing it in action soon.
