Batavia Total war - [Continued]

[Miroslav Klose]

Nah
BTW the fun is not over yet, i made kopper (people who live in the north of Overijssel) mercenies

Sorry I have to say this, but it's mercenaries, not mercenies.

Nice units BTW

[Cinuz]

EDIT- good work BTW

[Valkar]

EDIT- good work BTW

\The Kanninefaten or Canninefates are one of the factions
They were famous (just like the batavians) for their cavalry. I made their special unit.

Thanks

Thank you

[Sabazios]

btw do you already know roughly how many provinces there will be on the map?

[Irishguy]

I think between 60 an 80 or maybe even more... we're not quite sure
water _surface:

[Valkar]

What does water_surface ? i forget it

[Cinuz]

Very good!

[Valkar]

Thanks I benefit my free time, and many units are already done! I made special units for the Frisii, and im nearly finished with the Kaninefatii and the Tubants. But the Batavii and the Chamavii also need special units, and we should not forget the belgae!
But the basic units are nearly done, both celtic and germanic. But the romans need some improvement, but i like the vanilla legionair skin so i think i keep them....

[Valkar]

the same as i sometimes write peasant wrong

[Irishguy]

first off all:
1.the water_surface determines the colour of the water in-game (it's not an exact copy but if you don't change it, you will see the outlines of the vanilla map on your sea )
2. do you actually like the vanilla legionnaires? O.O you're the first one i ever heard anyone saying that I think Ferres's skins would be better

[Cinuz]

Uhm...I don't think ferres' skin would be better! They have a completely different style! Maybe something a bit different could be found!

[Irishguy]

that's true
but i think it would give the Romans a more superior look.... Maybe I can find something else

[Taxandrius]

attempt of constructive critisism:

Your map looks a lot like a contemporary map of the Low Countries. Historical sources and ecological studies show that the region looked very different in that age. For example, in front of the West-Flemish coast lay the island of Tersterep, with an East end (Oostende), a west end (Westende) and in early medieval days, a church in the middle (Middelkerke). Also, you could take note of the fact that the entire current region of West-Flanders was very dangerous when it comes to floodings. Regular floods could be just that what a detailled mod needs, cause you probably know the implications of floods in Dutch history (80 years war)

[Irishguy]

Well the problem with the map is... is that it's not exactly in a right angle (if you get what I mean, most maps are in a different angle, or way to big and difficult to scale) And most of that area around Zeeland was swamp and impassable, so i tired to correct that with land bridges and islands and "shallow" water. But I will look into that if you can get me an accurate map!

The map I posted in post 146 is made by the (former) Rijksdienst voor Archeologie, Cultuurlandschap en Monumenten and TNO. So should be quite accurate.

Maybe we should find expert scripting/mapping possibilites and maybe we could script a flood or something like that :O
