[Preview] House Stark of Winterfell

[Karazor]

it would be cool if you make the Glover general with a fist on the helm i f you make a model for them , also when are we gonna see a preview of the ancillary's for each setlement to see their coat of arms and maybe what advantages and disadvantages they give

[Shankbot de Bodemloze]

Wow! Amazing preview guys, well done

All hail the W:TW Team



And this is just a preview...

[Bleda]

Thank the Gods...
Interesting inclusion of house Stout and love all the units...!!!!!
one final question in a future release can we have a Hodor unit?

He could just be a useless agent on the campaign map that says "Hodor" whenever you click on him.

[Salvor Hardin]

Excellent preview, guys. The best so far. Congratulations.

will there be visible armour upgrades (like mail, plate, full plate, advanced plate, etc.) for any of these units?

There won't be any upgrades at all as I have understood. It's due to the timeframe of the mod, it's only set in a few years (12 turn = 1 year I belive), where all the armies and such are already armed and ready for action. Also, most of these units are based on the fact that when you call the Banners, your soldiers will take what they have at hand. This means that the knights will have full or partial plate, Men-At-Arms and followers mostly chainmail and parts of plate, militias with chainmail/leather and levies with leather, possible old rusted helmet etc. There wasn't any time to create chainmails and plate for perhaps tens of thousands of men in this short period from when an House enters the War, to that it's strength has been marshalled.

I am not sure if really got this. If we follow the logic, the recruitment would be impossible, too. Can units be recruited in the mod?

A hundred peasants picking up a stick and walking to wherever their lord tells them takes a heck of a lot less time than making a hundred suits of plate.

And yes, recruitment will be in the mod.

i figured that upgrades to heavy plate and stuff wouldn't be possible, i was just wondering about minor stuff, like maybe padded or light mail upgrades. Say u capture kings landing as the starks or something and u've got some levies with u; i would expect that king's landing would have a decent armourer. in a few turns, wouldn't u be a ble to upgrade your lighter troops just a little? that seems reasonable, doesn't it? otherwise, i generally get what u (Capt. Zoran) mean. (this is just an on the spot example i thought up btw, dont look to deep into it)

[Murfmurf]

Woopsy. Looks like my photobucket doesn't like all this fun. It'll be working again soon.

EDIT: Pics should work now, please let me know here if they're bugging out again.

Well yes, it would be possible, but on the same side, whenever you win a battle, your levies would theoretically pick up equipment and similar from the fallen soldiers. This unfourtently can't be represented by game engine.... And still I get what you mean, but you have to think that in the lore, a full stacked army here doesn't represent just 2000 men, it's supposed to be 20000. Most of those would be levies. Even if you had 100+ good armourers in Kings Landing, it would still take an enormous amount of time for them to equip even ten thousand men with a simple chainmailshirt. Leather might be abit easier, but still extremly timeconsuming.

Now for gamepleasure reasons, yes this would be viable, and personally something I wouldn't mind seeing. Ive always loved armourupgrades, but this is the way the modders have decided to go with it, and their reasoning is sound.

Very cool.

can you do starks family member portraits from the serie because the originals isn't that good anyway thanks from this +rep

Thanks for the rep, much obliged!

Unfortunately we will be using no material from the television series. This is partly due to copyright, but mainly due to the fact that worked started on this mod a year or 2 before the series began. Also, the TV series doesn't have all the characters we need.

However, if you are really keen on having images from the TV show in the mod, there is a submod under construction by Inarus and Radboud that does exactly that

[Mhaedros]

Nice This has probably been asked a lot of times, but I'm not gonna read every single thread here. Will there be a Night Watch unit?

[HannibalExMachina]

one would expect that at least the previews (aka the most interesting part) are given a look.....

[Mhaedros]

Sorry, I'm really tired, and have only had a fast look at the units. I'll try again tomorrow

[tyler]

there is an index with all the preview...

[Ascarona]

Wow this looks amazing, the entire mod is making me want to instal M2:TW on my computer again.

[BJas]

Estimated time on a beta?
