Battle Creator [V4]

[.Mitch.]

CUSTOM BATTLE CREATOR

Don't be daunted by the instructions, they are extremely simple to follow, once you'v done it once, you can do it 1,000 times.
I'v also gone into far more detail with the instructions than I probably needed too, thats why they are long.

NOTE: The look of the units you play with in this battle are NOT representative of the final work of CA, they are a modders adaption.

[Dominick]

As in the previous thread, still *gasm**gasm**gasm*
Oh yeah, Its your rep time again!
BTW, kareem have some random rep so I can give some more to Mitch

[Marcus Aemilius Lepidus]

Are all units of the original Game represented or juts them of the ingame battles or the units of the campaign?

[.Mitch.]

The units on the campaign are not in the game, they are just little image cards.

All of the units you see there are the only playable units.

[Xorte-Renshe]

Looks beautiful, Mitch! I noticed in the pref. file, there are settings for inf. ammo and specials. Are those actually active? (because it seems like the units can still run out of ammo) (I dont want inf. ammo, but I'm curious, haha.)

I only ask because the units in that image have "inf_missile" and such in front of them.

[kareem6776]

i think after shogun 2 mods you should start doing your own official games ,and with your brilliant ideas and your amazing ability with those kind of games,you will satisfy all gamers and make money like hell.

[kareem6776]

no problem ,really?I guess I should take you as an example for me because I am a games programmer but first year so I am not that good yet .....looking forward for your new game

[Hunor]

Hey Mitch!

I found a new battle map /under terrain.pack- "scs_enemystate_a03" / ! And shown a new Castle too!
I maked a battle, but the deployment area must rework. Then i think is work.

here som pick:






here the sekigahara_battle.xml I think u can make a correct deployment zones

[Szu]

:O :O :O :O geeeezzz... gasm as someone said

MY GOD! Thank you Mitch I can't wait =D! Thank you thank you are sir are awesome...

But I have a nice suggestion for you Mr. Mitch, I know you are already very busy! BUT!...

I think I speak in the name of the whole community, we would like to see those blades dripped blood. I've seen a mod for DEMO S2TW which enables blood in game (but it only works for ranged, and it looks just brilliant!)

Could you ?? I BEG YOU!

[olliehax]

Cannot wait to play this MORE REP FOR MITCH!

[mumakil]

Nice map find hunor

Hope mitch can add it to the custom battle creator.

[olliehax]

CA owe Mitch for making the demo like this and making the new battles and custom battle creator i have feeling that more people will buy the full version because now they can see what the game is like and its damm good

[Carnagejc]

Great find hunor, that map looks awesome! And back to the OP Mitch it is looking brilliant, can't wait!

[Death_Sheep]

My upset at the lack of Naginata Warrior Monks knows no bounds, but the fact that we have a battle creator more than makes up for it.

Bravo sir. Bravo.
