    Icon2 French (Bourbon) Mod





    This is a French Re-Skin Mod for my own pleasure which improves historical accuracy. If anyone else is interested, feel free to use it. (NB: This is just a patch file that just reskins existing units)

    Focus is on French Bourbon / pre-1789 (revolutionary) units that encompasse the majority of the ETW period.

    The Skins are my best efforts (with the models provided) to replicate historical French units of the period.

    STATUS:

    April 2012: Back tinkering. Hope to have a few new units in coming weeks. V0.93 have a reskined Line infantry and General unit, both WIP.

    July 2012: French Unit Roster completed. Making final adjustments before uploading.

    August 2012: Critical Hard Drive failure. Lost all work .. apologies to all

    DISCLAIMER:

    As a perfectionist, I feel the need to mention that this is a work in progress and there are parts of each skin I am still not happy with. I hope to address each of these over time.

    V.91


    Grenadiers




    Foot Artillerie



    V.92

    Cuirassiers Du Roi


    Carabiniers


    Chasseurs à cheval


    Horse Artillery


    Chasseurs a Pied



    V.93

    Montcalm


    Gardes Françaises (maison du roi)


    Guard Artillery




    Download here

    NB: This is a .patch file, so all one needs to do is download and save to your data file in Empire. If anyone needs a .mod file version, please let me know.

    Update: I had to use LtChambers Mod manager to get this working again

    sounds like you need an unpacked game
    Let me persuade you with my powerful logic skills.

    In light of the Total War series, a quote from the theologian whom I respect the most:

    The Heavenly City outshines Rome, beyond comparison. There, instead of victory, is truth; instead of high rank, holiness.
    St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo

    Others may know a better way of doing this but this is what I do:

    1. Grab LtChamber's Packmanager.
    2. Go to your Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\empire total war\data. Find the Models.pack and open with the packmanager.
    3. Go to textures at the bottom of the list. "Extract" / backup a copy of the files with the same name included in the zip.
    4. "Replace" the relevant files with the ones in the zip.
    5. Save. (May take several minutes)
    6. Open and play ETW

    Any chance of getting this as a pack file? Makes installation much easier.

    C'est encore moi ami du Québec ! Nous avons sorti une texture de garde du corps français (pour la Maison du roi, c'est une certaine confusion je dois l'avouer), et si tu souhaites l'ajouter à ton mod, tu as notre assentiment. (Regardes dans le topic Grognard Mod).

    I'm really looking forward to you next releases !
