I really like the way it could turn out but it would be uselles. Apart from the model the Steam Tank will be based on the cannon that can only shoot. It has no close combat abilities so no trample damage. And lets face it shooting is not something warmachines in M2TW can do efficiently.

So there were no units in medieval 2 that could both shoot and trample units to the ground?

Here is one hint for thee:

Is it not so? Can Cannons attack in close combat? If it was based on elephants (I don't know how) it could probably work.

I dont know if its good or bad. there are only 8 left, and not 15 world wide.
But it will be nice to see beast in battle.

Medieval 2 had Elephants.. With cannons on their back.



I don`t know whether they could shoot in CC but it`s still better than an Steam tank without any melee attack.

True but the animations are a problem. It would look very strange. I mean how to base a vehicle on a moving animal? I am no modeller though.

[PSIHOPAT]

Can be made a trick

Can be one vehicle with some kind of "armor" who cover/protect completely their "wheels".

In fact wheels can be made inside the vehicle to not look strange when the vehicle is destroyed,but to not been seen when he move.

Or...can be made mechanical war machine for dwarfs with mechanical legs and gun.

In this way...the problem is gone...animation for moving/walking already exist.

This is little bit sci-fi but...is just for idea

Even better: You could use the Chariot Animations. I doubt you see an issue here?

[drillmaster]

It just remains to be seen!!!!!!!

All I know is that I have had quite a bit of fun with them in my personal retrofit mod.

models are simply non-existent armor upgrade models. this makes them invisible.

One model I gave grapeshot too. I called that one Hornet I think.

faster speed comes through move_speed_mod.

Its only an idea but I can imagine it is possible with someone skilled enough to make a elephant type unit with the monster bombard model and moving/ shooting animations that can charge through a unit of men and launch them like an elephant does.
The crew would have to be located somewhere above the model instead of pushing it though.

This is a steam tank

Hard to hide those wheels, but the elephants, it need a new skelet to work

[Karnil Vark Khaitan]

Oh how can i forget to say this:
-Ghouls
-Spirit Hosts
Kinda fun units to add ^^

If nothing else give the invisible crew loads of armor and shield like I did and lock morale. Also you could give the crew lots of mass etc etc.

But you will still need to find a way to have a burning animation set connected with invisible unit.... or maybe because it is a non-existent model to prevent crash on crew fire deaths.

Also I increased engine damage resistance.

You may not be able to use to crush and run over people of course. But sometimes you have to settle with something that comes close but not quite.

Not sure if somebody has raise this point about H Elves... but their archers do not stand in ranks but stand as peasant rabble from Med Total War. At least if they could stand in ranks would mean they could be used as combat troops. In TT the lack of elven troops means that generally those few extra points on equipment allows to use archers both as archers and combat troops to flank enemy.

Great job chaps on the mod, great job.

Some songs,effects,from here,can be interesting in Call of Warhammer

Just a suggestion for the Sylvanians.

They have the option to build "Wight Generals" from their barracks etc. Either Grave Guard Generals on foot, or Black Knight generals on horseback.

All Generals that are got through Man of the Hour or Adoption etc are human. However, all Vampires have a Tradeable ancillary called the Blood Kiss. If a Wight General has the Blood Kiss, no effect. If a Vampire General has the Blood Kiss, no effect. However, if a human general has the Blood Kiss, then they become Vampires, as do their bodyguards.

[♔DoomBunny666♔]

Just make a unit of Wight kings very tough melee infantry with good attack, tougher even than Vampires...

[LittleDwarf]

When i was using toggle_fow to see how situation on map changes, i noticed something strange. Karak Ungor in the mod is further north then Karak Vlag, and it should be reversed as it was Karak Vlag that was further to the North. Could you change this (only names, it isn't much work) someday, or tell me just how to do it myself? (where are city names?)

[Karnil Vark Khaitan]

LittleDwarf i hope it works:
Open the city menu( you know there u can build things).
Double click on the city name and delete the old one, and write the new name

Suggestion 1: make the night goblins just a wee bit tougher (see screenshot)

Suggestion 2: The role playing element is pretty neat and I think the game could be even better if it was expanded. I've had more fun playing as Kislev than the other factions because of the scripted field battles. Those are a heck of a lot more fun than sieges where you're doomed to lose and I actually managed to win all of them so far (though I only had a few men left after winning the first one). I really like the thought of helping out allies and it might be nice if you had to help an ally that has half a stack with your half a stack, etc.
