ROAD TO WATERLOO MOD (U.S. Faction Completed)

[LEMONAIDS]

Greetings,

this is yet another napoleonic mod set in the 19th century.
This is my first mod and my brainchild so please forgive whatever indescretions encountered.

somerandomMinja-Cavalry flag bearers!

rep these fellas if you see them.

I also incorperated the horse flag bearers with the generals and telescopes with officers

all skins are accompanied by gloss and normal maps which may explain the size of mod.

The .esf I have modified sets the stage for the mod, it changes france's initial flag to republic, the year is changed to 1790 (one year after the beginning of the french revolution), victory conditions, and makes the US playable with all 13 colonies. I tried to give the louisianas to france but it kept crashing so i left it default.

this mod is not complete. I have not completed US skins nor minor faction skins. it became overwhelming because I am the only person doing skins so ill get around to it eventually. I did all major faction skins and added some units here and there. they are all as historically accurate as possible. I also did all the research (which was many many cornea busting hours). Most of the major factions have playable generals with "elite" bodyguards like, Napoleon (france) alexander I (russia) Jozef (poland) Blucher (prussia) and of course wellington (great britain). i havent quite chosen which ones to add for spain, sweden, and US yet. I am currently working on making when france is a republic and the player sparks a revolution, a monarchy will commence and the national leader (and playable general) will be napoleon. I also would like to create a family tree with napoleon's relatives. so thats number one on the list. feedback is appreciated.

THINGS TO COME:
Skins for the U.S. (completed)
Minor faction Skins
Even more units to major factions
General for Sweden
General for Spain
General for U.S.A
General portraits (sample below)

[Flusatko]

Looks realy nice.Like it! Just one question: Does it contain any marches or music mod?

[husserlTW]

[ElSypatiko]

Land is ok

[ddo]

Awesome work guys great job, I Likes alot however generals not showing up for some reason....

[LEMONAIDS]

yeah it contains three marches. a french and a couple british I think.

[LEMONAIDS]

ddo, are the UI cards not showing up or the actual units? did you put generals in data?
doesnt make sense. If i have them, then you have them.

[EmperorBatman999]

Glad this is out. +Rep!

[ddo]

I think another mod was conflicting with this one...

[panzerschreck]

hello,

a lot of work! But the only very anoying thing is the hats, shakos... Not accurate

[JOHANNES]

congrats for the mod

[JOHANNES]

two generals of Spain in the Napoleonic era Castaños and O´donell, for future releases

[LEMONAIDS]

hey thanks for the tip johannes. Castanos is our man. any for sweden?

Panzerschrek, i know there are dimensional flaws. but i felt that they were more accurate then the green jacket model because the french fusilier (for example) had turnbacks on the back of the coat while the green jacket model does not. their shako also became wider at the top where as the green jackets (or euro_late_riflemen model) shako remained slender. I used them for british. but for poland, france, russia, spain, prussia, and most of the minor factions, there are more pros then cons in regards to historical accuracy in terms of the model i have used (lancer model). i even went into the normal map and reduced some shading in that area in an attempt to make the lancer shako appear less square and more round. the result was so-so. and besides, i havent seen a mod where the lancer model was used. just wanted to offer people another alternative to the typical euor_late_riflemen model. and one more point: it gives the game more variety when you switch up the models because it seems bland and a little monotonous when every soldier in the game looks the same except for color.

i have been debating this with OneManShow for a while now. it just seems indismissable to change a semi-historical model to a non-historical model just because of a small neglegable flaw in the shako. (the only flaw for that matter). the euro_riflemen model isnt anymore accurate. thats like trying to decide which cigarette brand is healthier. marlboros or camels? its a waste of time and you have to smoke one or the other. unless you prefer menthal, then your s.hit out of luck.

ill await your rebuttal, schrek.

[EmperorBatman999]

For the US, try Andrew Jackson. Sure he was probalbly not in the military by then (or tnhe militia), he did fight in the war of 1812 at New Orleans.

[LEMONAIDS]

yeah i was already leaning towards jackson. he was major general.

[jackwei]

Looks very good great effort Will these units be available in the last military barracks in the technological tree when the mod is release???

I like them skins + Rep

[LEMONAIDS]

yeah, why?

[Chevalier IX]

So then just so it is clear all major factions have been made over??excellent looking units in the preview screens by the way

[LEMONAIDS]

yes sir, all major factions are "made over".
