Viking Invasion III version 1.0 released!

[Leith]

Thank you very much, guys! The bad news is that I have decided to use different graphics for this mod, which means starting all over again. All the new skins will be replaced. The good news is that initial results show that the bifs I'm working with should look even better than the ones in this preview. But......you wil have to be patient since we don't get a lot of electricity where I live, even though it's one of the most important cities in the Middle East, Damascus. Go figure..

P.S It's good to have you back on the forums, Cyprian..

I'm curious what BIF resolution do you use for units? Soldiers look normal but shields have a lot of details.

Hi stazi! Sorry it took me so long to answer. The shields were taken from a rome TW mod, which is why they look so detailed. Thanks

Hi everyone! I'm pleased to inform you that viking invasion 3 is back in development with a completely new set of units, graphics and stats. It's almost as if it were a new mod! To show you what I mean, I have decided to post some screens. Hope you like them!

Here is the new spearmen:


In this screenshot, you see Swordsmen fighting Levy Spearmen:


Next is the new Fyrdmen:


In my next preview I'll show you what I have done with the viking units.

wow !
Leith , you made 2 different color designs on identical bifs
The Spearmen & Fyrdmen .

[Leith]

Hello dimitrios! They have different armour. The spearmen's armour is a heavily modified version of the huscarle/kardakes hellenic bif while the Fyrdmen's armour is a modified version of the peltasts/plates bif, the one you've been working on. No matter, here is a short preview of the viking units, as promised:

Viking Carls


Viking Landsmenn


Viking Guards. This is by far the most difficult bif I've made for mtw because of many factors. It's still work in progress:

Nice !
I really like the Landsmen & Carls great textures .
The bif you use for the Guards needs stretching , there may be a way to do it with LotR Unit maker .
