Mount & Blade - > M2TW

[Banzai!]

Has anyone thought about porting the assets in Mount & Blade (+ its excellent mods) over to M2TW and making new units out of them?

The M & B face generator would be awesome for quickly making individual faces for each unit.

True, couldn't hurt to try it. And I've always secretly hoped for a Calrandia: Total War

I might do a bit over Xmas when I've got the free time. You could make some proper Islamic units for a start with the assets out there.

thats means you can fight with your general like in M&B?

The thing that really stood out for me after playing Mount&Blade and going back to Medieval 2 was the rag doll vs the man/horse "unit" that cannot separate in battle or in death. But interesting idea, you have. Many of us have thought how to get Medieval units over to M&B, but not M&B to M2

After asking around in the forums it looks like you can't use the M&B face generator to make face meshes.

However I looked at the FaceGen website and it looks like you can export faces off that program. I'm going to "obtain" a copy of FaceGen and create some awesome faces for Med2 units. I'll then tack on the beards and hair assets from M & B and hey presto I can create any faces I want in the blink of an eye!

Also I plan to attach the M&B high-poly arms and hands to some Med2 units.

Converted a Hegemony unit to M2TW. High-poly hands from M&B. Faces off Facegen:



I'm going to do Spartan hoplites tomorrow.

Wow! I think I like this better than Rome Medieval! No anti-aliasing though? Is that a working unit? Like I can play a match with them?

Very good did you also do the face generator aswell there seems to be a lot more variety.

Banzai... You are a prophet of gaming!
Can you make at least one of them downloadable to be used as a ownage unit to kill some baddies in custom battles?
