Mustaches :) thread for CA

[King Louise Assurbanipal]

for CA moedllers/skinners:

I saw in first screens that Units have wrong mustaches! In XVIII century soldiers have other...
French mustaches were other than Prussia, Prussian mustaches othar than Austrian etc...
and remember that early XVIII century soldiers have long hair.
So, I think, that all factions should have other faces.

Some examples:

HAHAHA! Dude that last French one looks EXACTLY like the evil french duke from Cheech and Chong's Corsican Brothers lololol thats great. but does a mustache really matter for a video game i hardly ever pay attention to the face of my soldiers

I really hope the diversity in terms of faces will be higher than we saw in the preview screenshots. M2TW has gone a long way to make our armies look less like one soldier was a clone of the guy next to him, but they still look roughly the same. Having just three different faces in Empire: Total War simply won't cut it, because the uniforms are all pretty much similar..

I hope they'll go as far as 25 or 50 (or more) individual faces, so it'll be very difficult to spot the twin of the other guy.. Ofcourse it's not as important as good AI and graphics, but it would add a nice touch..

Haha! This is like taking realism to its peak! I can imagine the anger and disappointment when French musketeers have wrong type of mustaches in game!
But hell, why not? If they really have resources to spend to style mustaches

[el_dude]

lmao a moustache thread

[ccllnply]

Yeah there just moustaches what differents those it make the country your from.

I hope no units have moustaches, they look wierd and wrong on units

[Taimee Rose]

I hope they don't put those moustaches on them, i would never take the game seriously

[TWoxy]

Meh, they can't even get facial hair right!

[Thamis]

This comes straight from our lead artist: "We'll re-deploy our resources immediately, away from ships and fortresses, and put a team of artists onto the creation of historically accurate mustaches!"

Thanks! You made us laugh.

[cudakite]

Glad to hear your priorities have been straightened out Thamis.

-forget the AI, THE MOUSTACHES ARE WRONG!!!!!!!!

well I could pardon CA to not create historically accurate mustaches only if we'll have historically accurate uniforms.

[Aradiel]

If theres time to make historically accurate moustaches i wouldnt mind, actually it was an imposition in the austrian army to wear a moustache, similar tradition should have been very common throughout europe. Some regiments however did not wear a moustache as a special honor they where free from cultivating beards like the 14th imperial dragon regiment. in 1757 the regiment turned the tide in the battle of tulin against prussia, the crew was young and most of them did not have beards yet, and to remember this day the regiment did not wear a moustache.

Well I would think this is graphics.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

Honestly, the mustaches wouldn't really effect gameplay. How often are you up close staring at your soldier's filthy maw?

Mustaches!!!! Good thread +rep!

I bet them guys stared in all sorts of porn films in there day
Jammy gits

[jarnomiedema]

True, but not the type of graphics I was talking about.. More in the sense of 'Master and Commander feel' when we play the naval game and heavily detailed battlefields.. The troops, while important, don't necessarily need historically accurate moustaches (even though it would be hilarious)..

At long last Super Mario Bros Total War!!


Well done KLA for correcting CA on the historical importance of the moustache.
