hpw come the bowstring animation isnt implemented yet?? I believe king kong has added it to third age total war in the last patch y not stainless steel??

Because it has to be added for every archer unit individually. However please feel free to add it in yourself and post the files

trust me if i could i would. It has a very big effect on the immersion of battles

Yes it looks great I agree. Its surprising how much it adds to the visual effect, as you say.

It would be very pleasing to view, visually.

I could do with contributing to the forum with a little mod like that. What version of SS is it and what files would I have to edit?

Actually its not really a little mod, I think you need to edit every archer model. Have a look for Banzai!'s anim pack that includes samples and instructions.

That's a really good idea. Too bad I can't mod to save my life (the only "modding" I've ever done was making all vanilla factions playable

)

Yep you need to edit every archer model. Which is 4 individual model files per unit. And you have to put in a new skeleton which will require a total re-rigging of the model to the new skeleton. Needless to say it would not be a small job. After seeing the new animations in MadTAO's latest patch of his mod though, I have to say they do add a lot of visual immersion to the game.
