Neph, is there any way to make custom maps for hyrule total war? with the custom assests and all.

There technically is an in game map editor in the Options Menu, I believe it's called Battle Map Editor. It barely works though, I was completely unable to place any objects in it, just edit the terrain. I create maps entirely through IWTE.

Also if/when you will be redoing ganons model. What will you base him off?

Probably when I redo all the Moblins.

How long does an model take?

It can take anywhere from three days to a full week.

Not that I mean to add additional items to your mountain of work. But have you ever thought about updating the faction symbols? Like using the new Lanayru crest from your units or the Zora Sapphire from the image you posted, just a thought not a request I'm happy either way

[LordWahu]

Is there any way to use the Linna City or Deku Palace maps in custom battles? I usually play Labrinna, and never get to fight at Linna City, and I wanted to see how it looked.

Hooray!!! Laruto is now officially my new favourite character shame all that had to happen. But I do love how casually Agitha is riding that Gohma almost like shes sunbathing

[darnokthemage]

wow! that was awsome!!! You have outdone yourself!

[warl0rd13]

I love how Sulkaris doesn't mess around, not gloating not laughing; she's here to kill you and there is nothing you can do to stop her.

[darnokthemage]

Also, i think neph is trying to turn Link into king harkinian...

How do I actually use Twinrova's control an enemy unit power? I have no idea how to target with it. I even tried Z.

also why does her model always die before the rest of the bodyguard

There are several possible reasons:

1) Are you trying to use her abilities in the campaign or custom battles? Hero abilities only work on the campaign map, there's currently no way to assign them in custom battles.
2) The ability makes an enemy unit stop and fight the nearest enemy unit, it doesn't give the player direct control. Rather the enemy player loses control of the unit and it attacks their other units. This is the same case for other abilities that confuse or control, such as Demise's Chaos ability.

Generals and hero characters can be killed off before all of their bodyguards. Twinrova's large size is probably allowing more than one enemy soldier to attack her at a time compared to her bodyguards, increasing the chance that she'll be battered down before her bodyguards.

Campaign mode. Even clicking custom battles gives me a ctd.
Also, I just tried the Sheikah Angharim's ability did jack as well.

Is it a random unit, the closest unit, the one Twinrova is attacking (or going to attack), or something else?

Ahh of course, her size. Does she have different stats other than that? Also I noticed that Twinrova and the actual general are two different models. Is that WAD?

[Drazule]

Technically she's a Gerudo General with a Twinrova bodyguard.

Just saw the latest mission video. Excellent work as always, Neph!

I did spot one spelling error (Rusl -> Ralis in the intro, wagon scene), but this may have already been spotted.

[Baron of Hyrule]

That was phenomenal! Outstanding work!

It was really cool to see the troops form-up on the walls.

The "there are no God given rights" line got a chuckle from me. That basically erased 50% of the excuses used by leaders in history.

[EDIT] Oh, here's a question, do you plan on making a battle where there's a twist outcome? Something like controlling the good guys and letting the player think they've won and turned the tide of the campaign only to see the next cutscene show it was a trick or distraction tactic by the enemy and they end up overtaking the defenders?

Is that Zalunbar? It's a badass whoever it is

It was a request from my highest paying patron. I think the Darknuts will have a new unit.

Awsome, will they replace one already in the game? They seem like a good choice for Yaraxonals bodyguard plus that would give an extra mount slot as well
