Hi everyone!

Its been a long time since Ive been active here, but for no nonesense reason. I had a car accident and spent almost 2 months this summer in a hospital.
Im not gonna get into too much detail in here, I think its enough to say my body was broken and Im still healing up, glad not to be in a wheelchair or dead.
Ive been out of hospital since 15 september and started working with the team to release the stuff which I had made before and never even presented.

Today I show some of the many units which Ive been sitting on. This is a set of 5 basic units for Captains Confederation and the Moonshae Isles.
I have similar sets of 5 (lets say militias) units for other factions aswell, and will be presenting them all in due time, as soon as Im able (cause they need to be implemented into the game first, some textures have to be finished etc).
All that covers 11 human factions in total including the two presented here.

More updates and previews will follow shortly, some probably within a week or two.

Thank you for everyone supporting this mod during my absence and giving the team positive feedback!

Great job for the mighty Thay! I have to spread some rep to give you more!

[Warcrafthero]

Thank you for these amazing previews Vladyvid and assurbanippal! Also, Vladyvid, will you update the mod's ModDB page in the future?

[Martinskyboy]

[Vladyvid]

Warcrafthero, thanks! About ModDB its like Martin said, we are all busy doing actual mod work so we probably wont have time soon to update moddb page, and personally i think ive lost the password to that moddb account, so dont know if i will ever be able to update it.

Just a quick heads up, we are all busy working on the mod, tho i personally have a lot of RL responsibilities which limit my involvement for the time being. I expect there will be some update(s) posted this month. Assurbanippal is making very cool models as you can see above, i have also a lot of stuff which i believe will show my modelling has improved. Titus is working on magic spells used by wizard/mage type units and Martin has been performing all sorts of useful tasks from finalizing name lists to prepairing units info cards. I have a lot of pending projects and although some could already be presented here, i will most likely hold back until i finish up more. At this point, we mostly "only" need to finish the unit rosters and we could make the first release.

Thanks for anyone following our progress!

[Titus le Chmakus]

Yeah, I will give some news on one of the special features of this mod : Magic !

The Medieval 2 game engine was not designed for spells so it was a big struggle to fit in magic missiles in distorting the vanilla normal missiles. It is a shame, but unfotunatly, I could not do better than 1 spell per magic user.

We have planned to have 3 levels of wizards, for most of the factions, having each a different spell, as close to the lore as possible. It still needs to be designed graphically, but the effects work as planned. The lower wizards will be given Lightning Bolt, the average wizards will have Otiluke's Freezing Sphere and the elite wizards will be able to cast Meteor Swarm. Then some faction specific wizards, with other spells will be in, like the Red Wizards of Thay or the Cormyr War Wizards.

The mod will also include Clerics, who will be able to curse the ennemies, as the major interest of Clerics in the D&D rules is not possible in the Total War engine : healing ... All the Clerics will be generic, plus, like for wizards, some faction specific, including the Dwarves Clerics or the Orcs Shamans.

As Vlad said above, thaks for following us !
