Colonial: Total War

[Samuel Adams]

Hi all,

underway is Colonial: Total War, a community made expansion to Napoleonic Total War 2.

Please note that while we have permission from the Lordz Modding Collective to do this mod using their models, animations, and many skins, this is not a Lordz production; it is 100% community based.

Basically, it's Napoleonic 2, but with a twist; it's set in North and South America, and has a totally new list of factions.

Team Members are Jakob, Horton III, Filibusteria, Birdman2008, and John Fletcher of the SACA South American Wars of Liberation research Group.

Horton III: Skinning and 2d art

Jakob: Historical research

Filibusteria: Skinning

John Fletcher: Historical research

Birdman2008: Historical Research, Spanish Translator.

'Anthon,' 1958-2008 was our 3d modeler, mapper, and a dear friend who passed away before the mod could be released on March 6th, 2008, two days prior to his 50th Birthday. This mod will be released dedicated to Anthony Lambert, former officer of the Royal Engineers, and a dedicated member of the [N] NTW2 clan. Rest in peace Anthony.

There will be no campaign to this mod, for the same reasons the Lordz did not include one. It will be structured to be Multi-Player, hopefully drawing the same crowd as NTW2 but more South American, Mexican, Canadian, and US players. Faction list can be seen here:

There's a link to the CTW forums;

lordz.thelordz.co.uk

is the site for the original NTW2 (Version 1.0 out now!!!).

can you do a campaign version, its more personal that way. i heard there are difficulties with units acting like archers and retreating all the time, perhaps try giving all units high armour and moral and we could set them to stand ground?

[CrayonVonCaesar]

I love a game of NTW2 so this is great news.
Bravo!

[Erwin Rommel]

OMG OMG!!

cant wait!!

and yeah change the music.......... and maybe you guys should collaborate with another similar mod

and oh yeah do please fix the Guy-shouldering-the-rifle-while-walking thing. perhaps when walking, they will clutch it two handed like in running

I think I saw that you need Huron's for your mod?, by happy coincidence I happen to have a few hanging around my Shed, (see bottom of first post) .. I hope to have time to make a couple more before I release them but weapons wise they only have spears or Axe's at the moment, if you want them to have Rifle's you need to send me a model and texture (from one of your units) so I can add them...If your interested please post in the Shed thread..

[Samuel Adams]

Wow, That would be awesome! Those Huron's look great. I need some with and some without muskets, I'll PM you a unit though ASAP.

With Erwin Rommel, He is using totally different time periods and nations in his mod (European Wars). Good idea though; and I can't change how they carry their muskets on the march, as I am useless at changing models and skeletons/animations.

Thanks for all the interest all, I'll give an update later on.

Wow, That would be awesome! Those Huron's look great. I need some with and some without muskets, I'll PM you a unit though ASAP.

No problem, I think they would work well as a fire before charge, or throw axe's before charge, a bit like this..



That's a battle I'd love to play out...

[Filibusteria]

Here is a preview of Chile's units, they are still WIP and will be changed.


Infantry:

Santiago Volunteers(Ill makes some changes):



Infantes de la Patria:



Line Infantry:



Concepción Fusilier:



Grenadiers:



Cavalry:

Great guard Hussars:

Good work guys, I hope you continue on with this, it looks very promising so far.

[Samuel Adams]

Well all the files were totally irretrievably lost on my laptop. That is:

all skins,

all text files,

all mod switching,

EVERYTHING, is totally lost. Jakob and I have something else already in the grinder, as I had to jump back in after losing well over 200+ hours on the US faction alone right away. So right now, filibusteria is the only person with American Napoleonic units.

I'm terribly sorry, believe me when I say my house was full of weeping and knashing of teeth over this.
