Thread: The Elephant Mod *Updated 3/21*

  1. #1

    Default The Elephant Mod *Updated 3/21*

    The Elephant Mod


    The Mod
    A mod, originally created in the name of TGW development, that re-implements what has always been an essential part of Total War for many of us - the elephants. Having imported the ETW elephants, the models and animations are the same, and while a-historical, this mod is for those who wish to have a more interesting game, revive old nostalgias, or just have elephants for the hell of it.

    The Mod
    Mod Compatibilities: This mod would be compatible with any other mod - except since it changes the text, it will interefere with any overhaul/unit mod. However, it should be very simple to make this mod compatible with any other mod, so just post a request or send me a pm (for shorter response time) and I'll do it for you.

    Changelog

    Yeah, maybe I should make some different versions And just to be clear, I didn't make the models, they are the same as those from Empire .

    But for now its easy to fix for yourself, just remove the generals_unit_stats_land if you havent looked already.

    EDIT: New Poll added.

    As a TGW modder I would be amiss if I didn't make them compatible. So a compatible should be up by tomorrow at latest

    If you'll notice the screenshot is of several elephant units charging into a line of MGs (both were experimental at the time). I recomend this, it is very fun

    EDIT: TGW compatible version uploaded, including ww1 uniforms and text. And 78 downloads! If I remember correctly TATW had around 65...

    Again nice work good to see you keep the idea alive perhaps look at a version that has a somewhat more realistic feel to it (keep the easy to get elephants version for the fun of using elephants in battles)

    Possible tto tie recruitment of a unit to certain regions yes perhaps that would make itt more apealing as a feature in campaign.

    Thank you. For a more realistic version I was thinking about giving only the Ottomans these elephants units. The problem with the area of recruitment is that the map is only located in europe so I'd have to make it in Istanbul, and that unless Istanbul has a set AoR it will require startpos editing, which is too complicated for a small mod.

    Damn the elephants were SO overpowered. I wiped out a full stack of Ottomans with eight units of them. I ABSOLUTelY LOVE IT.

    Default Re: The Elephant Mod *New "Realistic" Version Added*

    I've added a new "Realistic" Version of the mod for those who might seek a more balanced game while at the same time having elephants (like me). Keep in mind that by realistic I mean realistic by this mods standards: in other words, not very

    Realistic Version Changelog
    Realistic: (elephants_ottomans.pack)
    -new melee elephant rider unit
    -new missile elephant gunner unit
    -elephants only usable by ottomans
    -AoR for elephants, only recruitable in the ottoman "core" provinces (i.e. Rumelia, Greece, etc)
    -Ottoman models for the elephant-mounted soldiers

    I've also uploaded a TGW compatible realistic version.
