Kshatriya warriors - Unit preview

[Miraj]

Yeah you will be able to recruit generals. From fortress walls and large city walls currently. Very rare, very expensive. You might need them as governors or generals depending on your goals.


Just re-quoting for all to see.

Not offended. Just expressin' my opinion. Thats all.


Re-quoting Ahiga's nice summary of the Indian "scene":

I thought I'd show off the rich and beautiful contrast being held by the Avatars of our primary Far Eastern Factions, the Ghorids and the Rajputs. Just so people can see the leading stars of the conflict in India:




You can see in both of their iconic units (excluding the Elephants of the Rajputs) a very brilliant contrast in style and atmosphere. The Ghorids are a masterpiece of a darker, foreboding theme, very much possessive of a rugged, militaristic heritiage without any pomp and grandeur but with the sharpest edges of sword and mind. You can tell they are the elite of the elite and nobles, but there's little fanciness beyond a grim militant-approach to their duties.

Then look upon the Rajputs and see the polar opposite, a masterpiece of a brighter, chivalrous theme, very much possessive of a feeling of noble-warrior caste. They look even more Flamboyant and Regal than the later Knights would, and little space on their armor is without some sort of royal design or feature.

The Ghorids look a ton cooler, I've never been a fan of tons of decoration and stuff. Of course my Ghazni warriors will stomp them under their boots when I play my campaign.

Boots? What use are boots against an elephant charge!

[Kalos]

Trust me, my warriors will have pretty big boots.

[B. Ward]

i think i just died....beautiful job

[The Mongol]

Holy ****.

Those guys just scream the world "Royal". And those new Elephants.

I think I know who I'm playing.

[Rex Armeniae]

Indeed, all this great work is stunning!
- Great mirage, I will recruit generals until I get one named Arsen, and he'll conquer everthing

btw, I've just got Kingdoms! Quite fun and its nice to have a change from vanilla m2tw with something new. I'll be playing it til' BC comes. I just hope that it will work together with Kingdoms and 1.3

What I know of, I have been answered that 1.3 doesnt affect mods at all and that Kingdoms is jsut in a separate folder like mods are.

This mod is your window to the armies of:
INDIAAAAAAHHH!


Stop making us hungry for something thats still a ways off! Good thing Darkragner gave me some Indian music to use in case the BC soundtrack still needs to wait.

[Miraj]

[Kalos]

He's right Mirage. Don't make me get my giant boots out.

[AlphaDelta]

Dismounted Jihad ghulams will have trouble against Kshatriya warriors. Hell even the heavy Ghazi's did, and they've got better stats than the ghulams!



Cheers

[Kalos]

Off-topic:Can someone show me a picture of the dismounted heavy Ghulam archers that Ghazni has owning someone in melee? I wanna make a siggie with it.


On-topic: Why are two of those guys just standing around? There's fighting to be done!

AD, that in-game shot _really_ shows how much better ur work looks in-game than vanilla. now i'm not dissing CA, i much respect their work... but holy hot hell! and i;'m completely serious right now. this isn't fanboyism which has developed over the past. my last two compliments in this thread were true awe aswell. but this one here,.... dude i can't explain how good it looks. just at a quick glance, the armour of those ghulams looks incredible. The cloth on the helmets looks amazing. the chain mail READS like chain mail... i could go on forever.

only one problem i have with this shot: it makes me want BC right now.... grrrrr

keep it up dude.
really awesome work.

and to think how u had, oh so humbly, entered this mod lolz.

cheers

[Serious Spamurai]

Bah, I'll just cav charge them away. Been reading a book about the wahabi cult and the roots of modern jihad, it talks about the pashtuns, it's got me all hyped up about playing the ghorids, good to see it's not going to be an easy task to kill the infidels .

Pray to God he doesn't start using Archer's visual effects mini-mod found in the mod threads section. Then we'll be salivating for weeks.

[Miraj]
