SS for empire

[hellfire15]

Will King Kong go through the trouble of creating an SS for empire?
SS is the best mod for M2TW and I think it would be great if the same level of improvement could be reached for empire

P.S.: wow, first time posting in here for about a year lol.

[preachercheeze]

I second this!...


watched the game at a buds place and was mesmerized... Although the new "small cities" in the province was annoying (I like many provinces) I see great potential for a medieval mod!

I don´t think I can contribute much, but it would be an honour to do anything in this case...


I am a history and geography teacher-student so that is what I can give/take...

Good to see you hellfire15 . I agree once TATW is released and KK has had a good rest and some tools have been released/created to unpack the game. We just might see him take a try at it.

Well i'll be *** y2day! that's heck of a time ago lol see you got pretty high around here huh?
I agree, it will be a long time before we can even think about a grand mod as SS going to empire, third age definetly first (watch their forums everyday, for the last week or so)

[y2day]

Ya I'm still around. Empire is great and some really cool things can be done. It is almost scary the possabilities of it. I would love a medieval game built on its engine.

my thoughts exactly, had the same thought when i first played RTW

[helmersen]

Sure would have , but wouldnt it be hard to make all those sword units for Empire?

there are sword animations already used in vannila Empire. so only models would have to be created... of course, that's not all by a long shot.

Unfortunately i missed out on posting this first, though i do agree that almost everyone who plays total war games would love to see SS converted over.

[Caesar Clivus]

Some animations will have to be created or modded from M2TW though. I don't think that there are any 2-handed sword animations in Empire...I could be wrong as I haven't had a chance to even play it yet (haven't been at home in the past few days) And animations for catapults and trebuchets would definitely not be in Empire.

They said that there could'nt be a classical pike phalanx line in medieval 2 either

[preachercheeze]

and archers I presume... :hmmm: hopefully it would not be hardcoded for the part when determening the angle of aim...

[ginger_hammer]

archers are in empire, the native american ones...

Empire is not very good (at its current state). But a total medieval or rome convertion over it would be sweet.

The game just doesnt look very modeable im afraid.

It's not very moddable at the moment. CA will release modding tools/converters etc and have said that Empire will be the most moddable game in the series. But I think they encoded all the game files instead of leaving them as just .txt files so that people actually have to play the game that they spent years working on before mods can start coming out.

They better work on some serious patches first.The game really sucks as it is.

[Gorrrrrn]

I'll decide on whether SS on empire is a good idea if i can ever get it install properly.

[Barser]

Really? Well I would prefere to start modding it asp. There is just so many things that could use a modders hand.

I guess it is not very difficult to figure out that I was a little dissapointet with empire (it feels like a beta). Well I wont rant here but I hope they hurry up with the modding-tools/patches.

There is lots of potential in empire but it is not as good as SS imo (not yet). The big map and mannagement system + better animation and graphics could really be made into an awesome new SS.

There could be made a cool late medieval mod.
Like the gun with baronet acts almost like a spear in combat + archers is still there and a lot of other stuff that wouldnt be so far off from a late medieval game.

Yeah! Make a SS for Empire!
