North & South - The American Civil War [1861-1865] [RELEASED]

[General Brewster]

As i said, after my exams there might be much more progress (hopefully also with unitmodels)

So long you have to live with a new concept, where i want your critique (hint: The Minimap):



What do you think? Just right, too cartoonish?

With my experience as commander in rl i must say this is very nice and handy you can follow the battle on tactics much better on that mini map!

Propably i didn't said it, but i want to bring the civil war athmosphere up to a new level (in comparision to B&G ) and one way to achieve that is to implement new custom statics... proof of concept here:

This pic is amazing ! Maybe the troops should be crouched behind the hoarding but it still an excellent image
P.S: Any news about a beta or something else ?

Or a trailer maybe ?

Primergy, since we have the init part converter at least somewhat working, will you be upgrading the union models to the NTW style?

Problem is, it doesn't work for me and neither me nor the developer found a solution till now, so i think i'll have to use the empire models :/.

Edit:

Want to add, that i decided to release my modification for the Regimental Battle Flags as Standalone Mod.

Take a look here

[Russ_Ace]

wow beautifull mod!

[Jokern]

Will this mod expand or is it going to be a sp and mp battles mod only?

[Primergy]

It will be an MP and SP (for those who don't want to play MP) only... or do you want to fight the american civil war in france and paris? .

['Gunny]

New campaign maps aren't possible, so it'll probably be sp/mp

I registered just to say I play The Blue and the Grey for ETW and I love it. I can't wait for this mod to come out, keep up the good work guys.

I have one question: I don't know much about modding, but ETW and NTW use the same game engine, right? Couldn't you then import the ETW models, and then replace the hands and heads to ones from NTW? This would give the soldiers a more of a NTW feel and still have the proper clothes. I don't know if this is possible, as I'm not a modder, but just wondering if it could work.

Well, the ETW models just have 2 variations, like 2 heads, 2 hats, 2 uniforms, 2 legs and so on... you can't get that much detail on ETW models. For version 3.0 of our ETW mod, we wanted to introduce a more detailed model, you can see here. This is ETW:

wow...........

[Sixt]

looking really cool, to bad you cant change the campaign map......

[B-DizL]

Yes looking good

[Sunny Squash]

I was a typical Brit who stuck his nose up at American history. Recently, I have looked beyond the end of my nose and have been reading up on American history which I would have before avoided like the plague. I cannot tell you, gentlemen, how excited I am for this mod. I would play the Empire version however my PC is rubbish and Napoleon runs like a treat.
My hat off to you all, I eagerly await the release!

So coding... need a db editor?

[Primergy]

So coding... need a db editor?

Yes, a lot of units, projectiles and balancing wants to get implemented but unitmodels, statics, maps, graphics, mapping don't allow me to do so .
