Blood and Iron (Franco-Prussian War Mod)

**FilipVonZietek** · January 16, 2011, 01:13 PM

Bismarck once said something liek that:

"Men who take those beasts (algierian guard zouaves) prisoner instead of cracking their heads with rifle stock should be court martilalled"

But siriously i would give all units same range and more significant changes in acecuracy or people willl run back and forth ( like they do with riflemen in vanilla) to deliver a quick volley, such things are ridiculous.

I decided to give Bavarian Jaegers the Werder

But in terms of the Chassepot, they could simply hit the Prussians from ranges they had never dreamed of. To counter the Run and shoot, Ive given the Prussians good stamina (much more realistc) so they can run and engae the French, while the French would likely get tired if trying that tactic out.

Great job, but i think that they wore red trousers

Thgis kepi is too high, shape looks like the one used by police, also red trousers and no coats.

**'Gunny** · January 16, 2011, 02:53 PM

That is the one they are using for TGW

though that is the best kepi that can be made in NTW, since helmet models tend to be trouble

**FilipVonZietek** · January 16, 2011, 02:54 PM

How about making this kepi lower? i think its possible.

**'Gunny** · January 16, 2011, 02:56 PM

AFAIK, it is not

**a tw player** · January 16, 2011, 04:07 PM

Gunny, need/want/allow me to help out on this?

Spotted this in your shameless advertising in the steam chat the other day

and I must say it's looking very good from the concepts and screens - Would love to be a part of a good mod in this time period

Its not possible to make the kepi top lower.

this new model of aanker should be fine while expecting more improvement in the art of modding NTW. Perhaps if there is one day modding tools as announced.

Now If the TGW team is feeling incredibly benevolent and lets us use the whole texture instead of just the hat, we can get a Custom battle/MP open BETA going on

I am feeling incredibly benevolent, but I would like to make the normal map on the coat before giving it out.

Finally, those french men that I kill en masse (oh the irony) with this mod will have proper textures.
