MTW-Redux Beta Released!

[Axalon]

Hi everyone and thanks for the recognition guys,

Now, about what is so far labeled as 3rd edition of redux. I think it is safe to say that we won’t see that released until 2010. I have no idea when exactly other than I need to finish up everything before it happens anyhow. Currently, most of the GFX-stuff I wanted to do is done and my primary concerns next will probably be about the AI since it does not work in the way I want it, so I’ll be probably be struggling with finding a way to make it happen. In general, I had little time for TW-stuff ever since October, so my absence here at the forums and lack of progress in my work with redux is basically the result of just that if any of you might are wondering about it. I’ll try to stick around here for the next couple of days and hopefully we can have a little action around here. - To make up for my absence I’ve prepared some more stuff for you about the future release. Hope you people like it. Enjoy…




Ok, redux is designed so that each player can customize portraits that will appear within the game. I already made several replacements that each player can use in their reduxed game (with 2nd edition). Now my plan is to release some templates for various factions so enterprising people can fashion multiple knights for a specific faction (the one they are playing), let’s say France, as much as they like by using these templates. That’s one feature I had in mind with the new release, I know it will be very useful thing for me at least. I producing portraits of your on is not your thing, you can at least use these included templates as additional portraits with the others.




There will also be some 10-20 additional and new portraits included intended for the use as potential replacements of the default “generals” in the game. In total there is 57 slots for portraits but I don’t think I will make enough to cover all 57 slot since that is not really part of my plans, after all redux is not intended to work like that. You are supposed to customize your game! Anyhow, I also made a few replacements for the princesses as well since I wanted to replace a few of those.

Other than that I also made some potential default generals Muslim, Pagan and Orthodox factions. Long time a go, a dude named William wanted to have some of those in the game and tried to make ‘em on his own (it never flied, but obviously the interest was there regardless), I thought I might as well do standard-pic each for all non-catholic cultures as well (currently I plan for that to be strictly optional).

- Cheers
