Preview : The Generals

[stratigos vasilios]

Again another amazing preview, can't expect any less from the EB team.

So which general has your face Gustave?...

hehe, none of them actually. But my face is in the mod... I won't tell you where though

[stratigos vasilios]

It'll be the EB character with the most elaborate and expensive armour, made out of solid gold, encrusted with jewels and carried into battle on a chair by four men... :-P

[XSamatan]

Gustave had some time ago a very funny personal signature...just a hint...

[olly]

That was smashing.

Thank you

[jazstl]

Cool I bow to the TEAM of the teams...

Really amazing.

Can MIITW support this sort of stuff though?

I can also distinctly imagine a group of undergraduate celtic anthropologists go out for a wild Saturday night and drink out of one of those horns.

[Noble Wrath]

So my legions will be commanded by Russell Crowe? Cool. I can only pray for the face of Gerard Butler in a Spartiatai unit...

[bobbin]

Yes but it would require adding two new bones to the models skeleton and changing all it's animations, which I'm sure you agree is way too much work for something that would barely be noticed.

[Kuningaz]

Amazing work! I especially love the Carthaginian and Boii generals!

You could always post of list of cool things for people to sub-mod in if you want. Kinda crowd source all the stuff you don't have time to do like TATW is doing with settlements. WE have many talented people.

[HFox]

Oh my goodness.....had a father jack moment there.....works of art.....especially the Auernoi and Boii generals.....thank you

[vollorix]

The new intels are out, the graphic cards too; some 8 gigs ram and SSD - i hope that would be enough to run the game smoothly, then... ^^
So, do i get it right: it is not possible to give each general ( depending on his heritage, for example ) some unique bodyguards?

[GenosseGeneral]

Damn, just beautyful!
It made me shiver...

[Paltmull]

Ditto.

And also:

All our generals have variations in their models, which means that if several generals are present on the same battle they will all be different.

[Ibrahim]

Darn this is beautiful to look at.

If only mods like this could be built in a day...but at least it will be worth the wait.

[Paltmull]

By the way, what's the maximum number of general models per faction in m2tw and how many are you planning to make?

1 (or any number with scripting). We will only be doing 1 for each faction.

[Paltmull]

But... but...

Oh, I think I misunderstood your question. All our generals have variations in their models, which means that if several generals are present on the same battle they will all be different. The first 2 pictures of carthaginians are generals indeed.
However we cannot make different generals for early and late periods.

[Divinephyton]

Wow, amazing! Beautiful

Btw, the faces of the Roman General and the triarii officer also kind of mistakable for Rome's Titus Pullo and Lucius Verinus, no?

[abou]

But... but...

Yeah, modding for MTW2 is fun...

[Gustave]

Not at all, but I agree there's a similarity.

But... but...

I don't understand your question. I'm sorry if you misunderstood me, my english is not the best. There is one general unit per faction, but each of them features several faces, bodies, etc., just like any other unit.

[antisocialmunky]

Can you make a fat body?

You know, for diversity.

[Populus Romanus]

Can you make a fat body?

You know, for diversity.

No Fatties Allowed in Europe of the Barbarians!

Anyway, I do not think a fat person could fit inside one of those linothoraxes.

[BerkeleyBoi]

Wow, this looks awesome...

[Paltmull]

Ahaaa, i get it now. I didn't know that you could have varieties in the same model for generals. Sorry for confusing everyone.

[nazgool]

Outstanding work as always :). I especially like this Boii chief. He look like real bad ass.
I also have two question. Firstly, why you change the Arverni name ? I’m looking something in Google about Auernoi but I don’t have any record about this new name.
Secondly, in Carthaginian general’s description you write something like that “All the same, these may be easily distinguished from Hellenistic commanders by their Iberian swords…” but Iberian swords (falcata??) have only officer and standard bearer. In general’s hand is something else. What is that, Greek xiphos :) or Celtic sword?

Hehe well spotted my friend. This is indeed a xiphos, maybe we should have edited the description. In fact the carthaginian general uses either a xiphos or a falcata, same for the officers.

[nazgool]

Hehe. Thx but this is not my note :) In this case I'm only transmitter :)
Once again thank you for the answer.

How about Arverni = Auernoi? I guess that this is some Celtic name.
