Pistols

[dan3va]

Hello honourable members of the twc community

there are many mods most of which are very good

quite a few of these are new units

but very few units in the game (vanilla or modded) use pistols which were very popular particularly amoungst melee units, caverly, officers and naval personel.

i would like to see som units and officers of units using pistols they would be fast to reload but low in range

im not sure if its possible since im not a modder but if someone would make a mod like this you would have my gratitude and of many other people

thank you

It's possible if you can get someone to do it for you or you could do it yourself.

I'd really like to see some units using pistols more often. Cavalry, as you mentioned, for example. Unfortunately what you can do now is swap animation types only and the game only knows so much animation types. For instance there is an "sword_pistol" animation for officers which could be assigned to infantry. But cavalry? I doubt it because cavalry uses different sword animations than the officers. Obviously.

Guess we have to wait for modding tools until we can change animations directly, insert new ones and so on.

all captains of infantry units seem to carry a pistol. it does not have the range of a rifle so they only fire it when the enemies are closer. Looked quite awesome when my captain shot a man from his horse with his pistol while his men where still reloading since this made it clear it was his kill.
