Age of Enlightenment

[Ataegina]

This mod will feature the turbulent period of 1700-1800 covering seven years war, great northern war resuming etw on mtw2 engine.

with bigger map and alot regions, from colonies on west to the lands of india, with etw style strap map and alot of features, civil wars, emerging factions.

unhappy mtw2 doesnt allow sea battles but if you're not fan of them than you can have massive land battles with all etw can offer (cavalry,artillery,infantry), from open fields to fight on streets of your cities, destroying walls, climb walls or just bombard until the besieged town is on flames

proposed factions (wip)

great britain
france
prussia
spain
bavaria
mughals
holland
sweden
austria
russia
safavids
ottomans
marathas
denmark-norway
portugal
poland-lithuania
austria
hannover

france republic (emergent)
unites states (emergent)

some screenshots (ongoing work)

perfect

[Hrobatos]

nice! +rep

there were some Croat troops fighting for Austria in that war, famous units...
like Croat Husars and Trenck Pandours

[Ataegina]

nice, perhaps some more info!?

croats and other factions wich have famous units or such will be present on the aor, also a feature etw have give up is mercenaries, so when you invade a country you can recruit local regiments for your ranks

[Hrobatos]

Croatian Pandurs

this unit would better fit into ETW and we are making it for Croatia mod for ETW

they are a irregular infantry and aI dont think this can be made in M2TW

this is how they should look like

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Croatian Hussars were famous for their skill and used by Austria in central Europe since 30 year war ( Thirty year war mod will also have Croatian hussars unit)

this is how they should look like

I've a long time developp this idea in relation with EUROPEAN WARS mods, so in future I wouldbe very happy to help you (but I've many modding stuff to do before, so not immediatly).

Interesting topic and nice units.

I wonder how the MTW2 engine will handle the gunpowder-focused combat?

well this still a wip and open for discussion and suggestions, but colonies in west and south would be nice, featuring british,french,portuguese,spanish,dutch colonies and colonial units.

also american should be present, for resources and major events such as american revolution using barons alliance script as base

well than need a faction for austria (second entry) maybe native americans

Interesting topic and nice units.

I wonder how the MTW2 engine will handle the gunpowder-focused combat?

despite some animations wich are bugged but work, overall units seem working, keeping the lines and keep firing and when lines are nearly broken charging.

for artillery my fav works perfectly, few cannons and : cannon ball, explosive shell and grape shot

[Hrobatos]

they're on my list to do

great!

why can't it not be made? i dont see why

because Pandurs are light infantry, and this exists in ETW while, at least i think every gunpowder unit in M2TW would be like a line infantry, so if you cant make them light infantry/irregulars make them as normal gunpowder unit

[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]

Have you succes to impement grapeshot in med 2? I know it possible in KG, but for med2 I always failed.

[Russian Gondor]

Very nice. What happened to Mare Nostrum though? I have not heard about it for a while.

[Hrobatos]

me neither...but they dont post very often, I hope it isnt dead

[Ataegina]

@Hrobatos, thats something to be decided but i'm sure we make make it using the category, class ,etc


@Nirnaeth Arnoediad, this is using kingdoms and yes is working and causes a big mess in enemy lines, bad news is very short range


@Russian Gondor, well theres EB2 and other mods so make another copy wouldnt be fun, also mtw2 have pretty much all a mod like this needs, also buildings and cities are more similar to this timeframe than roman-greek.

besides mtw2 have gunpownder animations and such, and this is first in progress 18th century mod wich converts etw into mtw2 so one more reason to go ahead with this

[Stephan]

check out this german mod, basicly the same idea, maybe you guys could cooperate
