this are some banners for the teutonic order:

[joedreck]

they destroy my concept. i don't need to make a mod for kingdoms, cause if you want play big campaign, you always can do this in the main version.

[joedreck]

very first view from the KB: Kingdoms. you can see the new Hauptmann.

[joedreck]

Komtur(left to right): Graudenz, Marienburg, Braunsberg

[Diamondback]

first of all i REALLY enjoy your great work! do you already have an idea when a kingdoms version will be released?

[joedreck]

i don't know.

i have at this time:

• light infantry(for every west and east faction). peasents with sword and shield
• middle infantry(for every west faction). like the spearmen, only with sword and shield
• heavy mailed knights(for every west faction). a mix of feudal and mailed knight

i want to make very special and rarely unit. something like the onehanded axe unit only available 1 unit in perheps 8 rounds or so.

the teutonic order is ready. i only think about the recruit system. i can't make it, that hre can recruit 3 units in one turn in the guild. maybe i make for the other faction the same, only with templar and the problem is ready.

then i plan to make a janitchar with sword and shield. i hope its hisorical

the east get middle infantry too. the polish are ready.

[pajomife]

I think you mean that ,you gonna made Banners for the kingdoms campaigns ?

[joedreck]

i want to do that, but the new factions are not playable in medieval.

which flags do you want to have?

[joedreck]

new polish hellebardiers:

[Socal_infidel]

new polish hellebardiers:

Ooh! I like those shields! You should make Norway and Novgorod banners *hint* hint*!

[joedreck]

this are my new concept. more weapons for more individuality.
the dismounted english/french knights have 6 different weapons.


this are my new units. mazowian knights. they are the opponent of the heavy mailed knight, which i add to the west european factions.

[USTAS]

More weapons for more individuality-it is very interesting.

[joedreck]

yes, and it looks very nice. its very much work to add the textures for the new weapons, so i need a little bit of time.

[joedreck]

new byzantine unit: Light byzantine infantry

[joedreck]

and ones again.

Palace Guard, late 13th Century



and an infantryman with spear, which looks similar the other byz infantry.

Hi,
very good ideas, so now your even adding weapons and new units.
Are you making banners and shields for all kingdoms factions?
Also for Crusader campain?

weapons
the different weapons looks nice, but its a hard work. i have to chage for every weapon the textures and then the position in the mesh and this for every mesh single.

banners and shields for all kingdoms factions
sorry not at time. CA made 4 mods. thats my opinion. i made only things for the big campaign.
if i would start with modding the 4 CA mods, i would not be ready this year.
i don't get enough money for this.

today i add the new units from kingdoms in my mod, which based on the retofit mod (add kingdoms parts in vanilla). so i think, that i'm ready this week. then i have to found someone, who can make an exe file, which is similar to the retrofit.
