Good work!

I think you can use some of KLA's work from European Wars for the Europeans.
This is pretty much the only mod I know that tries doing an era that's completely new and untested. I'm so keeping an eye on this one.
Good to luck to the dev crew!

Portuguese flags at the time...

which one do you think that is good for faction symbol and banner?

[intifadanyz]

I already used the 4 small blue shields with white background shield (coat of arm in the white flag) as signature pic... directly taken from M2TW... you can see here...


That is right symbol or not?

in wiki, their symbol is something different. thats why I asking .

[intifadanyz]

Hmm...the symbol of Portuguese Shield (red border with golden castles, inside it is white shield with 4 small blue shields) have been used since 1481, and remains until today....the changes was during the overthrown of monarchy in 1910, the crown was replaced by golden armilliary sphere and olive leaves... so I think the right symbol is Portuguese Shield with crown....

[Spike]

looks like our spectators here grown, so I give ya this teaser of recent developments, including the "BATIK" UI

[paradamed]

This mod brings something unique to the mod community. Keep it up!

[Spike]

Ok, so I have got some permissions to use some models in our mod, and I've re-skin them, so this is the (rather small). lists of units...

Melayu Bodyguard Elephants (rider model by Wlesmana's LOTR TW.) and Melayu militia (models by wlesmana).


European Elite Swordsmen (model by Halie Satanus' EOD) and Swordsmen Militia (just dismounted and reskinned Sarmatian Auxilia), the European general is actually Boromir when he got haircut (thanks for Wlesmana's LOTR TW)


Turanggawesi horse (the riders is still BI model) - maybe I put the seprei too big? :grin:


and here's some in battle screenies...

First, we planned to include entire South East Asia (you can see post #2 and #3 in this thread at page 1, the original proposal), but we changed the plan to start the games at important regions of the conflict first (the western Nusantara) and make the mod playable. Then after first release, we may consider to expand into Borneo, Sulawesi and even Philippines, and add factions (that located there)...

That way, it make easier for us to research, and making unit lists and models, and balancing the factions...

We have to make the map horizontal, skewed, fattened the land and add north Australian territory (South of Java Island) because we cannot make the map full of water.... coz in RTW:BI, there is 70%:30% Land:Sea ratio, if we make the map full of water, then it will be CTD (Crash to Desktop) ... Well, the north Australian territory will act as landing site for Portuguese and Holland before the script transfere them to location that they should appear...
