***** Announcement and Recruitment - Colonialism 1600 *****

[Geronimo2006]

OMG! Finally! It is awesome, really. We will be able to do some caracole against pike squares... Wonderful. Talking of pikes: will you fix the famous bug, avoiding pikemen using swords instead of pikes in close combat? I hear someone already worked on it.

Yes we have fixed the pikeman bug.

We have however managed to get Reiters to carry pistols. Screenshot below:

out of curiosity, do they reload? I remember a lot of units that were modded to carry pistols didn't have reload animations. Since for the original, the captain would just fire a shot and holster the pistol.

by the way, VERY nice units. Every single one of these are very well done.

[Geronimo2006]

No PrayforPlagues they don't reload but I will look into it and see if I can get them to fire while moving.

Credits to Adrian74 for permission to use his wonderful model and for uanime5 for converting it.

1600 appears to be been close to or at the end times for the Landsknecht-era so very few of these will probably be recruitable and only in the early period. However one source has told me there were Landsknechts into the 1630s so more research is needed.

Thanks Carricanta I am working on some of those units though. The grenadier is already finished and we have a suitable model for the late pikeman.

Very nice.

Doesn't this deserve it's own mod thread when it's released though?

Don't really understand the question. I think the mod will be hosted if that's what you mean.

[Der Einzige]

Let me rephrase.

Will it have a subforum in "Empire: Total War Hosted Modifications" or will it only be in this forum?

I assume it will have a subforum like the other hosted mods.

[PrayForPlagues]

amazing units Geronimo a subforum would be perfect for you guys I agree.

[Geronimo2006]

Should have something to show you later thanks to Toontotalwar who has granted permission to use aspects of the TAR engine.

[Geronimo2006]

Loading screens. We used the TAR mod to help with this, and I have permission from Toontotalwar to do so. Thanks Toon.:

good luck with mod and best wisches, but what about Comanche territory? Switch New Mexico (for no one) with Wichita Territory (for Comanches) would be more historical.
