The Moors 1.0

[the42up]

September-UPDATE!!!!!!
I am back and the first preview (the black guard spearman) shall be revealed shortly!


A mod for real recruitment

The purpose of this mod is to revamp the moors to be as they should be depicted:
A faction that favors-
crossbows
light calvary (missile and non)
spears

The vanilla roster tried to achieve this, but in my opinion, and others, all they did was make the moors suck.

This mod aims to create a more flavorful and unique Muslim faction without the redundancy of light spears and other useless units.

Changes:
-dismounted arab calvary are now Black Guard spearmen (Elite and agile spearmen from Africa).

-sudanese javelinmen are now Granadine Crossbowmen (These soldiers are well-trained in the devastating art of the crossbow.)

-berber spearmen are now Al-Anduris infantry (Armed with spears these troops, equipped in fine armor of their own payment and well trained, are far superior to their christian militia counterparts.)

-Granadine jinettes and mounted crossbows were adjusted to superior quality, their stats were adjusted accordingly.

-Granadine mounted crossbows and lancers were give fast horses

-Granadine lancers stats were adjusted slightly, the unit is now intended to reflect the moorish abandonment of european tactics for their more arabic heritage. It is now a powerful light calvary unit in line with the demi-lancer rather than a glorified mailed knight.

-camel archers have been added to the roster

-Lamtuna spearmen have been given a slight armor adjustment and moved down the tech tree



Slight egypt adjustment-
dismounted arab calvary now sudanese tribesmen (their quality has been improved)



Coming soon-
RESKINS!!!!!!!

I just wanted to get this out there to get some feedback. My main goal is to do a complete overhaul of the moors, but you have to start somewhere .

I'll test this out, I'll rep you if I reach my 50 posts


EDIT : One thing : You should add a folder structure, so that people just have to drag the folder into their Stainless Steel folder. Many of them don't know where to put which file, so it'll be difficult for them to install this mod.

[MrVamp117]

I'd love to download, but what file goes where?

[RomaVictor6969]

[the42up]

my mistake, ill repack it

as for the skins, they are all rehashed...for now-

al anduris infantry shares skin with the andalasian infantry
black guard spearmen are max armor upgrade arab dismounted cav
granadine crossbowmen are max armor upgrade crossbow militia

The BC Team does NOT give out permission for such things...
I think we have to make our own skins..

A little birdie told me skins for all Islamic factions are coming soon.

very nice ! +rep

Is it savegame compatible?

[the42up]

most definitely should be.

I think I am still going to work on clogging out some skins though. I really dont like how the moors look and prefer if they had a more granadine style.

[romy]

sorry but where can I find "events.dat and events idx" because I got ctd when I go in a battle.

PS:I didn't overwrite the descr_units and the descr_buildings because they'rfe modded.Maybe thats due to this?
What do you think?

Thanks

[RomaVictor6969]

this is an awesome idea the moors have always been one of my fav factions so good luck...cant wait to check this out when your totally finished +rep.

[romy]

ok I found them , for who doesn't know where is it , it's in the data/sounds folder.That didn't resolve my problem , any solutions?

[the42up]

I forgot to mention, its modded for real recruitment

[romy]

will you make this mod without RR?

[the42up]

yeah thats easy enough, though a bit tedious.

Sweet! When...

[RollingWave]

you know, you could ask if your mod could join the Zuma mod, then maybe you could expand it a little better.

[RomaVictor6969]

I agree thats a great idea!
