The Great Conflicts: Videos [Magyars promo video released].

[AnthoniusII]

You/we should be glad only the thematic armies are used. The result might've been different if he was facing a member of the tagmatic forces (or not).

And great video, MasterBigAb! +rep

MBA revealed by accident some of the "tagmatic" units...
But the main goal of the video was to show how our units [models/animations/horses] work ingame.

[NikeBG]

I meant the duel at the end - I presume the Roman was a thematic soldier.

[gogo t]

Yeah but if it was a better roman then he would be killed by bagatur's headshot arrow

caus you know

"Even if the sun would have come down, I would have never thought that the Moesian [Bulgarian] arrows were stronger than the Avzonian [Roman, Byzantine] spears.
... And when you, Phaethon [Sun], descend to the earth with your gold-shining chariot, tell the great soul of the Caesar: The Danube [Bulgaria] took the crown of Rome. The arrows of the Moesians broke the spears of the Avzonians."

John Kyriotes Geometres on the battle of the Gates of Trajan.[50]

Btw don't you guys think that the bulgarians look too much nomadic/turcic.... I mean in the next versionns we might need to change the heads to slavianic-like ones but with a bit darker skin and dark hair ?

[NikeBG]

Maybe, but it's not like they've never beaten us either. Sometimes fortune was on our side, sometimes - on theirs.
And, yeah, some face-changes might be apropriate, though we should keep some of the current heads for occasional use as well (and for the Pechenegs etc. maybe). Hmm, maybe I should make some photos of myself? I look like the perfect Slav (although I no longer have long hairs and beards etc).

[Thinkerman]

Well, yes, some face changes would be appropriate.

I can give you pictures of myself too But I also look more slavic, though my father is dark

I actually have a book where there are some very good ficitional portraits of bulgarian rulers from that time period. It might be useful.

Okay...um....wait....

WOW!

[famiglia_ducale]

Congragulations and wish u luck at your mod project my dear MasterBigAb and AnthoniusII.
Of course +rep to the master, for this great video...

[AnthoniusII]

Wait until Koultouras see what are you saying about heads.
Its true that just like our early Thematic models and the Bulgarian ones have more "rusichi" heads than the later models of ours that the main creators are Koultouras ,Absinthia ,Mathaeus and as textures Leif Erikson.
Koultouras created a large pack of heads with dozens of hair and beard varietions! Absithia's ,Koultouras and my head are some of real heads that will be incluted. In fact he used my head with streched eyes and chin to create new Petzeneg head...
So NikeBG you can post your head's photos in Koultouras' workshop to became a basis for new heads.
But any kind of new additions will take place near release of the mod because we do not wish to interupt the evolution of the rosters that follow.
To any one that wishes to contribute his fase please post a couple of pictures (front and side) in the main discussion thread and i will colect them and post them in Koultouras' workshop too!

[megalitho]

Another great example of BigAb´s skills... hope to see more

There are some tagmata units used here too, right? I thought the charging cavalry was the Scholarii and the heavy infantry was a unit of Excubitores. Btw, shouldn't the Menaulatoi have a secondary sword-like weapon to stand against other heavy infantry also?

The "blue"Tagmatic horsemen are "Hikkanati" [gr: Ικκανάτοι].
We could add secondary sword to every infantry unit of our mod but i am afraid that then they could not stand defensivly against cavalry as well.
The spearmen units have swords as decorative items to mention that warriors did use secondary weapons. But Menaulati are primary an anti cavalry unit like scutati and we want them like this. There is an exeption though and that is our Kontarati that use both pikes and swords as a multi role unit.
Romans will have a melee units gap that they must fill it with merceneries like:
Rus sailors, Varangs etc...TGC has a structure that every unit is essential for its role and players will be forced to use it soon or later.
Our motto is "beware of the humble ones"...no more to say.

[MasterBigAb]

About the "thematic" I used the fight in the end cause it was the nicest animation + best position (away ffrom the main army so i could set the camera were I wanted without "glitching" into other units) So the message was like Anthonius said the presentation not ny historical or faction specific thematic or whatever

Thanks for all the compliments, please direct them and the rep to the creators of this mod, for I only did a few seconds moved pictures with their work
