Variations in appearance.

**Inhuman One** · September 08, 2007, 03:38 AM

I am personly rather irritated by every unit thats shared with all the catholic factions or a group of them.

They all use the exact same mesh while there is room enough for variation. There are multible versions of full plate so why should imperial knights of all catholic factions use the same mesh? or feudal knights? or sargeants?

I think that it would be good if things where changed a bit here and there to make factions more unique.

Mailed knights could look like unupgraded feudal knights when upgraded for sme factions for example.

Feudal knights on their turn could have different helmets when not upgraded, and also when upgraded for some factions.

Arquebusiers and musketeers all use the same meshes, this definatly needs to change. Either of them could get a partial plate upgrade like the portugese arquebusiers. Helmets could differ as well. Some could get the helmets of unupgraded conquistadors.

Maybe there could be looked at historical information on this, I am not a history expert but surely england, scotland, france, the HRE, spain, portugal, aragon, milan, venice, Sicily, denmark, poland, hungary and russia didnt all have the same style for arquebusiers and musketeers? Some might have used more or less armor than others.

Come on! does no one have an opinion on this?

Well as far as I know there is a limit for how many different units the game can contain. It would be nice though but would also take a while to do and I think other things have higher priorities now.

Inhuman One: I believe that would exceed the number of units allowed in the game

The problem is that armies of the period were very similar. And every new toy quickly was quickly spreading over the continent. It is hard to make rosters the way they have no common units.

Kinda like the armies of today.

Burrek and others worked hard to make the factions look unique when it comes to textures, I wish people would start making some new models though.

I can imagine. You have a party, your house full of friends and family. And you can't play!!!

Well its the arquebusiers and musketeers that bug me the most, and of course the broken full plate mesh with where the sleeves go through the chest.

I personly dislike the appearance of the arquebusier, and since they all use the same mesh it gets kind of annoying. Musketeers and Arquebusiers should at least get seperate meshes.

They could perhaps use some new skins too, along with the other late game units.
