Cool thanks.

Interesting idea. I assume you aren't hoping very much to include that map anytime soon.

But do you really only want to add a few units? Or is this just a first release idea?

i would offer my help but I don't know much about skinning, only the PFM. If there's anything you need in that department maybe I could help.

EDIT: And now some limited startpos skills, but you've got that covered

Sounds good, this should be added to all in one mod... = rep

[Spartan262]

Well, you see the map won't be changed at all (Although half of where the fighting was is cut off, but It's fine) and were redoing units to look more accurate for the period and adding unique regiments.

[Petrov]

Aww great! If only you coul;d Edit map in NTW like the older games, Oh well, This will be awesome!

Ok, well I'll be looking into this. But imho, you should consider doing some more stuff with the mod, at least after the initial release.

Its impossible to edit the map.

[Spartan262]

Good pics Fracois, +REP.

And yes it would be quite impossible for the Mexican American War to be Modded in until CA makes Modding tools. Plus why would you want to play that kind of mad. It was a Blow-out of American Victories, or so my History Knowledge reminds me.

[Amaz]

yeah, but the Mexicans did have pretty fancy uniforms, pretty fun to see in game, don't you think?

The Russian helmet and French kepis are what bother me, it seems they were in extensive use during the Crimean War... it's hard to find a base model and do some creative re-texturing on that...

[Spartan262]

Well, We can cut a few corners on certain things like those hats that aren't in NTW.

Moved to Compilations and Overhauls and tagged [WIP].

PM me with any questions.

[King Sama]

Congrats on the forum. How is the mod coming along?

EDIT: My bad, I meant released mod thread. I've been on the great war thread for so long its gone to my head lol.

If you guys do a good job at this, I'll literally worship you all!!!

I wish I knew how to make mods, for I would be dedicated to the utmost for this one...

Please, please focus on AI (campaign Ai) as well...I love uniforms and all, but if you can influence the behavior of the AI to mimic the Crimean war scenario...

[Erkli Pasha]

Also, what about a Franco Prussian war mod? One can mimic the Krupp artillery by having artillery truly be devastating and increased in range (combined with the greater deployment area mod)...also, repeating rifles could be mimicked by having the ranges and reload times greatly enhanced. I guess stratpos could be designed to look like the situation in 1870-71.

*sigh* I wish I knew how to mod...

So how exactly did soldiers of the Crimean War fight... or atleast, how did they fight differently from those of Napoleonic times?

[RO Citizen]

Sounds very interesting. You can get some help from the Great War mod, too, you have a few similar spots.

[Amaz]

Nah, I think we're good as of now, we'll see, though, won't we
