prettier horses

**Shingen** · April 15, 2008, 10:36 AM

Do you ever thought about about using nicer looking horses than the form the original RTW?

Napoleonic Total War 2

Blue Lotus

Maybee the modders provides you with the models and helps to edit them.

Yea, that's a real issue, I've always wanted to edit them, but had other priorities. Now I just have no time and we have Prom's with the special saddle, wich isnt so bad, even if he still looks so bony....

You mean Prom`s roman horses with the 4 horns saddle?

Any updates on this? Blue Lotus horse's or Napoleonic?

**furinkazan** · June 11, 2008, 03:58 PM

Imo Prom's horses are very nice.

Napoleonic horses are too big to represent japanese horses of the Sengoku-jidai. And imo(not to offend Blue Lotus)Prom's horses are more beautiful.

This is Total War not a beauty pageant besides my computer is probably going to have enough problem with how grand this mod will be.

Thanks xm8 I don't know I thought they looked a little bit weird.

**Taneda Santôka** · June 11, 2008, 08:53 PM

Yea, a bit skinny and bony, but they were made exclusively by Prom for the mod, they have that cool saddle

an are not priority targets for now...

I might just rework a texture or two, since some were made quite rapidly by my lazy self...

afaik the horses Prom made are the original Rome horses only with some added bells and whistles.

There are a few things that would be ideal to change:
-the horses body, which should be more stubby and compact
-the position of the rider, which should be much closer to the neck of the horse
-those textures are honestly quite icky and largely inaccurate, new fresh ones would be great.

I always thought the horses in Blue Lotus would've been ideal for our mod, they have the right asiatic feel, and the gear Hoggy supplied them with works perfectly. They are a bit cartoonish sure but honestly so is our texture sets, especially mine.

I could talk to him, I'm sure he would let us borrow them for our mod.

**Taneda Santôka** · June 12, 2008, 12:48 AM

EVERY video game texture is cartoonish, but true, BL's are a bit more, I guess with just a slight texture edit they would blend in... But it's not a priority, Prom's are fine for now ; except for those crappy alt textures I made by just boosting contrast, quite ugly and stupid

I'm ashamed...

**TomteOfDoom** · June 13, 2008, 06:16 AM

Yeah and Santôka, speaking of which: I notice many of the sashimono look a bit awkward like this still. :hmmm:
