Battlemap Settlements....

**Ceasar Gubius** · May 30, 2009, 10:24 PM

I was curious, because I've seen it done with other mods, it is possible to reskin battlemap settlements currently, right??? Because I figured, if you can do that, some factions could easily have new battlemap settlements of their own. For Instance

Gondorian Settlements would not be too difficult, just grab a basic southern European settlement and reskin it with white buildings with blue roofs.This is just a basic concept anyways

...

So is it possible? Thanks

Almost impossible for medieval II kingdoms

look here if you want to read how complicated it is.

Ok, so I'm grasping that Custom buildings in game are a real challenge. Maybe a better question would be, do the Devs have any ambition on making custom battlemap settlements???

This question has been asked many times

Q: Will there be custom battle map settlements?
A: No, not for the first release, but they are planed for the second release.

As far as I noticed they are eager to do it, but the game is giving them a hard time trying it.

Ok, well that would be cool to see. Fighting on the walls of Minis Tirith, in the ruins of Ammon Sul, besieging the Hornburg..... Just let my imagination go wild, lol

Wow, in all honesty I'm impressed they've even made that much progress on what is a semi hardcoded issue (semi hardcoded in the sense that it's not supposed to be changeable but it is.).

Yeah, it is impressive, I think that if there was a team to break that hardcoding, th TA team is it

heh yeah that's true what they have managed to do so far is amazing, it's so professional it makes me feel almost guilty playing it knowing that i haven't paid for it

If custom settlements come in, this mod will be almost perfect. Just little bugs to go over really.

If (considering the talent the team has 'when' might be more appropriate...) the guys of TATW do manage to get custom battlemap settlements I do hope they will release that 'package of goodies' in such time (summer/xmas/easter) so as not to lose my frigin job

cheers
