Factions Previews

[Luciano B]

Yes, the Insubres, Cenomani, Boii and Senones, the main Italian Gaul factions, have chariot units.
Also the Veneti of north-eastern Italy have chariots too.

We gave chariots also to some faction of the central Italy, like the Etruscans, the Umbrians and the Sabines (those nations in the timeframe covered by our mod shared a common culture referred as the Etrusco-Italic "Koiné") but only to the general's guard, because the chariot was porbably still retained only as a "status symbol" of the leaders.

Good shout Luciano. That same army list I was talking about only has Etruscan commanders in chariots and not as rank-and-file units

I've noticed, belatedly, that Lordz napoleon Mod has given CA (TW engine) the flick and are working with Slitherine to develop a 3D Napoleonic war game!

Hmmm, no more hard coded frustrations but they'll need to develop a comparable wargaming engine.

I wonder if PI might go similar?

I'D BUY!!!!

Yeah, this news was published some time ago on TWC. Let us hold our fists for them to make a decent game!

As for PI going into that way I'm personally totally into it as of now I'm finishing my student status and haven't got a permanent job yet. Mylae is a student to so I guess he could be also included. The problem is with Luciano and SigniferOne since they both have a job - making a new game demands 100 % time reserved only for that project, atleast by my opinion. I don't know the status of others in our team.
I am interested so if there are any propositions I'm listening...

With the world economy going globalised, having mulitple income sources is very wise .. PI might provide that, although finding a market for such a specialised game might be difficult ...hmm, unless you advertise in Italy?

Lets see how the Lordz game goes.

This Mod needs to be updated as offten as EB..with new content..bug fixs..a bata only relise just won't do What i mean is some mods just do that after so long then stop supporting the game and leave it like that..buggy and hardly playable..

If you are looking for animatians for hoplites id sugest asking the EB Team to use there classic greek hoplite animatian its perfect for then and this mod..I cannot stand the thought of not one more Mod useing the old RTW phalanx formatian unless there useing pikes.

Wonder buildings like EB that have historicl signifgance in a few settlements that give moral bonus or law etc..

If some mods are not intersted anymore or active recurt newones who can give full attentian the total war center is full of unemployed mods looking for mods to work on..this mod is gonna be great so long as the team dosent become satified with just releseing a beta and stopping after that..

I also think more of the factians should have slingers..

Thank you for this mod..Keep improveing and releseing new builds..

[Mylae]

.... huh?

- it's difficult to release bugfixes if we will release the mod in september;
- we're not looking for animation because SigniferOne made new ones just for this mod;
- new buildings will be present... just look at the previews;

- what does mean: <<I also think more of the factians should have slingers..>>???
