Thanks for the quick release of SS, brilliant!

Finally, more realistic depiction of the battle.

To those who want to see what you are downloading, here is my video showing the four new animations I have added.

thank you! somehow though, the one when a one-handed sword strikes the opponent first to crawl on all four, then his back and pull out the sword with aid of his foot, does not work for me, or perhaps it is very unfrequent?

Your right, it isn't common, sorry. But it is there, and what units fight what also factor how often you see it

Like em a lot, going to add these and give it a try.

Testing these, it seems to fractionally add to the amount of time taken for a unit to kill another, or is that just me? Not really significant, just an observation.

EDIT: Are the death animation/finishers longer?

**Mathieu Of Belgium** · November 27, 2010, 09:00 AM

question: does these animations work with all mods?

**RollingWave** · November 27, 2010, 09:52 AM

most likely, since there are very few mods that actually touches on animations, which is generally one of the toughest aspect to mod

**warman222** · November 27, 2010, 12:34 PM

yes, it will be compatible with just about any other submod for SS

**Woolridge** · February 10, 2011, 02:33 AM

Great work. Are you planning on creating new animations? It would be amazing to have several more so when you look at the combat for a short period (before going back to commanding) you don't see two kills the same way.

Tryed to put in 1.2 of this mod but get error that SS stop working and CTD

Hope to see 1.2 work with SS 6.4 in time.

Sorry guys, I have been so busy lately with other projects and experiments. While I don't have any thing new with WAS right now, Check out this experiment:

I made this with Baltic Total War and Bellum Crucis 6.

**SirRobin** · February 15, 2011, 12:37 PM

Good work, but the first one seems overblown with the spin flourish at the end when the enemy is already completely flat on the ground. Such flourishes seem really unreal and Hollywood-y.

Ideally, fighting animations should convey that it's deadly serious, sometimes desperate business and not some chinese circus show

**hull19** · February 16, 2011, 08:30 AM

I just lvoe this mod... great for SS and TATW

**warman222** · February 22, 2011, 08:21 PM

Update: While I don't have Version 2 ready or even version 2.5, I do have a sneak peek for the future of this submod!(I did not make these, these knights are hybrid models of multiple mods)
