King's Banner 3

[Werner von Urslingen]

Just take your time joedreck, I'm sure it will be worthwhile to wait.
Btw, I never thought it would be possible to even add unique models for the faction heirs... Great!
And this will really work?! ;-)

Bertrand du Guesclin & Sir William Marshal

[Werner von Urslingen]

Good work! Are you going to implement them as faction-specific heros, like Richard Lionheart or William Wallace in the kingdoms-expansion?

yes and no. new heros no, specific units yes.

i need some spanish and italien. so if someone know the heraldy for the clothes and shields post here. year 1100-1400.

[Werner von Urslingen]

El Cid is of course one of the most well known heros of medieval spain, but since he is a kind of independent rebel in history and also in the game, he maybe not the best choice. Btw he died in the year 1099...

Don Alvaro de Luna (1388-1453) is also a well known hero of Castile, he is considered as a perfect knight both in battle and behavior.
This is a toy from an osprey-reconstruction painting (Angus McBride).


For an Italian hero I have also an idea, which takes the difficult situation of the city states into account: You could simply add one of the most prominent and successfull condottiere as a special unit: Sir John Hawkwood, an english veteran from the Hundred Years War, who served from 1360 in different Italian Armies (Papal States, Padua, Florence).



Just PM me for more picture material!

[joedreck]

thanks Werner v. U.

now i write the description for the units. i hope i get it soon with the setup.exe.

[Salty]

Well I had luck and I was able to test an early version of the mod..really cool! Fantastic Features

[joedreck]

thanks salty. you get the money later
the files are out and now i'm waiting for the setup.exe. i don't know which problems the mod can make for the setup maker Socal_infidel, who help me with many things , so i don't know the release time. Maybe this weekend.

edit: not this weekend. here is a screenshot:

thx.

i can only tell, that marshal's banner is one of the most beautiful in the mod.

[williammarshal]

joe,

a few questions, will the special knights (the marshal, du guesclin) be available at the beginning of the game or will they pop up during the course of the game? Also will they be more powerful or the same as the other generals? Also will you be adding other famous knights from history?
Thanks.

[joedreck]

1. Will the special knights (the marshal, du guesclin) be available at the beginning of the game or will they pop up during the course of the game?
2. Also will they be more powerful or the same as the other generals?
3. Also will you be adding other famous knights from history?

1. no, not at the beginning. this are special units. they are available in special cities and special condition.

2. not generals. they are not superman. they are very strong, but not stronger, then other strong knights.

3. yes. Eschenbach (hre), Guesclin (fra), Marshal (eng), Fogliano (mil, ven, sic), Villandrando (spa), Palace Guard (byz).
this was possible in a short time, but i have some more of uniforms like this here:


and when the mod is succeeding, then i release more.

[williammarshal]

Thanks Joe, your mod sounds pretty interesting, I like the uniforms shown, are they the actual coat of arms of paticular knights or your own design. I suppose you research the colors because you nailed the marshals perfectly.

[joedreck]

are they the actual coat of arms of paticular knights or your own design.

uniforms are my own design, but the coat of arms are from german heraldic book. i don't think, that the uniforms looks in this time so nice, only on pictures.

the red/yellow is the "Die Bremer" family and the blue/white "von Leibwalcks" family.

[williammarshal]

Hey Joe,

I check every day to see if Kings Banner 3 is out, are you getting close? no pressure hehe thanks.

[joedreck]

it needs a little bit. social have some problems with the files.

but i'm ready with some new uniforms and thing about release soon after mod release.

here are some:

[joedreck]

not in the mod, but someday after release.

The Knights of Cornwall (behind Norfolk from the mod):


The Doge of Venice:

[williammarshal]

Hey Joe,

I see the pictures above and they look pretty good, I cant wait to see them in action.
