Bad graphic of units...

DLV 6.2 graph

and Kingdoms graphic...

Both on highest details.

Is it me or is it the mod?

I like the mod very much but the unit colors are so lifeless.

And one aother thing.

Why towers shoot arrows and hot oil is spilled
even if i take the front gate.
There is no way to get the man through the gate when the oil is spilled on them and i get unnecessary victims.
I think that the walls are captured the towers should stop firing.
If my men go through the tower the firing should stop but in this mod it is not like that.

So that and the unit lifeless colors are my only objections to this mod.

Can't help you with your graphical question. I do agree with the unit colors remark. But I'm sure the creator(s) of this mod has his/her reasons (historical accuracy , personal preferences , ...)

Bottomline, I can live with it :o)

The "problem" has to do with "overlay textures" file...
I think that the creators added to much dirt on the units even from the start of the battle.
Take a look in my pic (i changed the overlay textures with another mod ones that use less dirt).

Do you think, that after marching for weeks, months even, through dust, mud and/or snow, they went and washed their uniforms in a creek before battle so they would look nicer? :p

On the whole, vanilla M2TW uniforms are way to shiny for my "impression" of the middle ages (and the bloom, the bloom!) - while DLV gets it right in my opinion.

Ok I guess you have me convinced.

But what about the towers and walls question from the 1st post.

I also prefer brighter colours. Not for realism reasons, just joy.

Could you please tell me how can I remove some of the dirt?

Thanks,
Mysh

You have a point there...

In my screen all things look like white dirt.

Please tell me how can I put colors back!

Screeny attached...

I think thats just the bloom playing up, on sunny days, it looks pretty bad zoomed out - try turning off bloom maybe?

Little difference...

its just when its switching to use sprites to display the units and i guss the faction you are using has white sprites.

anyways units i think is the archilles verse of the mod.
