[Augustus Lucifer]

This Preview looks really awesome!

I have one question: The GroundType Stratmap-Textures, are the self-made or from a free source?

They're made by Yelu, the ones in this preview for Tibet that is. The ones in other areas are for the most part still from Charge's MapMod, with the exception of the ricefield texture from the Song preview, but will probably be improved/replaced as we go along. We also have to credit SigniferOne and Paeninsula Italica for the method of getting mountains without the ugly tops.

Don't know and don't know. Battlemap settlements change based on ambient buildings and those which are derived from a specific 'building' on the strategy map, so I expect it would change fluidly, but we're not very far along those lines. Next preview may not focus on a faction, depends on how quickly we progress and where.

I have to say finally having this thing out is a nice graduation present.

I decided to check this forum for the first time in awhile and I find this . It looks so ing cool.

[Katsumoto]

This was indeed an incredible preview, very well thought out and designed and the Tibetans just look great. Just a shame I'll have to get a new computer to be able to play it. Still, I can't wait for it to be released so I can put these pathetic Tibetans to the sword (the katana, of course. )

[EVYATAR]

Some questions and suggestions:
1) do buddhist monks have two-handed weapon animation?
2) iss tibetan mountainous terrain well playable in battles? In BC (as well as vanilla M2TW) the battlemap were usually very hard to play due to sheer distances and heights which units had to move through. Sometimes, contact with enemy was impossible due to uncorssable terrain.
3) Tibetan mounted archers all have peacock feathers on their helmets, while tibetan heavy cavalrymen are frequently seen without them. As the feathers signify the elite status of the unit- IMHO heavy cavalry units are much more elite than mounted archers., who should wear helmets with feathers less frequently.

Holy #### my jaw just dropped open looking at this. The tibetan heavy cavalry look absolutely amazing, just like the iron clad death dealers as mentioned in history. Great work of bringing these dudes to life espacially how hard it is to get sources dealing with Tibetan military in the medieval period.

Major major props for the time and effort along with how drop dead awesome they look.

Btw how will the banners look like? Will they have Buddhist motives on them?

[DragonsWarrior]

just amazing brilliant preview!

Must confess I have been ignoring this mod for a while now - but these units are beautiful! The background research is also fantastic - if this mod mod could be like my favorite RTW mods (EB & RTR) in it's supplying of information about the cultures of the time it would be incredible.
One minor quibble I would have is that the horse textures do not stand up to the quality of the riders themselves - they simply do not mesh terribly well. Are these the stock M2 horses?

[VINDIC]

WOOOOOW!!!...
