    Default The Next Lordz Release- Second Faction Announcement

    Hello. Last week you had a small glimpse of the great work Lady Meg has done with the Kingdom of Sweden. But, even though we should have known better, the next release will contain not 1, but 2 factions. So without further ado, here is a small preview of what I have been working on…

    THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE


    Quite some time had passed since Suleiman the Magnificent laid siege to Vienna, and while the art of warfare has advanced in Europe, the Ottoman army was still a semi-feudal body, lacking modern organization and training.



    The greater part of its infantry consisted of janissaries. Formed in the mid 14th century they were slave-soldiers, recruited from among the Christian children of the Empire. Their tactic was to fire their musket and charge into battle with sword and pistol.



    Attempts to modernize the army were made by Sultan Selim III (for which he paid dearly in the end, as in reaction the janissary corps revolted, and in the end he was strangled). The Nizam I-Jedid were created, the troops of which were trained and equipped according to European standards.



    The ottomans also had a variety of cavalry troops, among which the famed mamluks of Egypt. (I’d gladly show you them, but I haven’t made them yet, so here is some deli cavalry instead).




    The Ottoman artillery was the only branch of the army that welcomed the reforms. In the end its men were well trained and brave; unfortunately they usually were supplied with low-quality gun powder.



    This is just a small preview, there is yet a lot that has to be done before the ottomans are ready, and of course everything you see here is still WIP.
    The Lordz.

    Great! I'm sure this will bring even more variety to the multilayer tactics.

    Will you be changing any stats of the other factions to accommodate for the Ottoman Empire?

    Nah, we've no plans to alter the current factions in any way unless we find some glaring error, which is starting to look like a small possibility since we have a crack team of coding ninjas working on this 25 hours a day.

    We do look to balance each new faction we place into the game with those already ingame. It's best to not fiddle with the stats too often, its a dangerous road that. Both Sweden and the Ottomans will be tested to make sure that history is respected while ensuring that gameplay continuity is not interrupted.

    The Ottomans and the Swedes will be released with one another... soon. There are still some units being created; modelling and skinning needs to take place on these WiP units before we can set a solid deadline. I would like to have a few inagme shots up for yall with these guys shortly, but we'll see how it goes.

    Thanks for the kinds words!

    Paul_d, haven't seen you in the lobby with N2 recently! I have that video where you and I beat off 3 enemy armies still, google Prague 1818, then click video and it's the only video that comes up!
    Yes, I hate the fact RTW is out and I still have a Japanese title. Come on now admins- let's get with the program.

    Sadly there is not and never can be a single-player campaign for NTW2.

    In RTW, the AI always puts its missile units in skirmish mode until they run out of ammunition. Since all NTW2 infantry are missile units, the AI battle lines would always skirmish away when you attacked them.

    I believe that even if this were solvable, the AI still wouldn't know how to handle its units properly for a gunpowder-era battle (it is designed for classical-era melee-dominated fights).

    Somehow, those magicians at the Lordz came up with some occult scripting that hid these problems in their Borodino historical battle, but it is unavoidable in the campaign game.
