Colonialism Total War - Previews & Youtube Trailer !

[The Holy Pilgrim]

If only animations from Empire: Total War could be implemented.

[Grymloq]

In Empire people shot by rifles die as if they were killed by a sword or a spear They slooooooowly fall into the ground, so ATM I think the animations nessj did are, even if a bit unrealistical and looking always the same, better than Empire ones (concerning the shooting).

Great trailer Nessj! Gave you a +rep.

Super, super death animation nessj. Great job.

I wonder if it will be possible to differentiate between melee and ranged deaths, so that when shot at, the units would die like this.

[nessj999]

differentiate between melee and ranged deaths

that is possible, even if its not a perfect way. But its definitly possible, so far that a unit with one ranged weapon and one melee weapon has to different death-animations.
But units with only one melee Weapon will fall down like stabbed. Thats the problem. I have no idea how to solve it
The annoying thing, which is NOT possible is, to give variety to the animations, because in ranged, they always look the same for everyone who dies. as you can also see in the video.
I hope that people or me can find out how to edit that, but i guess not

Anyway, thank you very much, i really like, how the feedback and the attention to this mod increased, in the last weeks.
I even got 7 Subscribers ! And now an Artifex is looking in my thread
very happy , i think i will make an animation for the Indians now

I need someone who is familiar with Indians and Indian Warfare, who can assist me in the making of
the Indian Units all over America.
So also if you are just good with Apachees or just with Tupi,
its great if you can help me.
I need pictures and descriptions of clothing and weapons, so a historical researcher.
Thats the job where you dont have to mod yourself, so i would be happy, if someone comes along who knows about that

best regards,

Nessj

Here's some info on the Tupi and the other Natives included in your mod if you still need it. I'll edit as I find more images.

The man in the picture has a long bow



Those Carib war clubs look like they hurt

Carib warriors were also very heavily painted.


Now on to North America:


Apache didn't live in tipis, their villages consisted of wickiups (except for Plains Apache who in fact lived in tipis).

It's hard to find pre-19th century depictions of Apache, so I'll try and get as close as I can

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

A southwestern Apache warrior


Plains Apache warriors



Shield


Weapons found among Apache warriors and warriors from various Plains tribes (gunstock clubs came around the 18th century)

[nessj999]

to update you guys...

currently working on skinning of the european units, making vast progress on all kinds of unit-modelling (tupi, africans, native indians, europeans, all)
also working on new grass and new grounds, and some tree-textures..

having problems with the IWTE

i will probably release a submod for regions&Provinces soon,
it will contain material of Colonialism Total War, and will be updated
with PARTS of the material of colonialism total war, every month or so

hope you enjoy the update

[The Holy Pilgrim]

That's great news, nessj999!

Can't wait!

[Dom Pedro II]

great news.

[Ixor_Drakar]

A chance to play around with your work? Hello heaven.

[nessj999]

thanks

yes, there will be my work in it, but not the units, and not the map...
but some new grass, new skies, also a new america (consisting of 20 regions)
for the Regions&Provinces campaign ( somehow, to give you a bit of colonialism)

and then, i will add some stuff every month or so, like i said,
until i can release my mod...

so i have a great chance to show you something, without wasting time,
because its for my mod too

[intel]

How's the progress with the grass (and tropical climate) going? I recon there was a problem with it being too bright and colorful.

[nessj999]

That problem is gone
so im putting grass on the climates everywhere now

but i have to finish some more climates..
and a bit of the script
