Pike and Musket TW 2 - mod for MTW2

[cegorach]

Hello everyone !

After almost 2 years or research PMTW is ready to enter a new phase - the new edition for the incoming MTW2.

Since most of the information is already gathered only small research is necessary now.

We will start working as soon as MTW2 is finally released.


Basic information about MTW2 edition.

timeframe - 1572 - 1700

area - from Northern America to middle India and from Norway and Finland to Mali and Ethopia.

The number of playable factions is still a matter of discussion - its is still hard to say how many factions will be possible to add, but the faction list will include all major and many minor powers from this are during the time period including Scotland, Iroquis, India, Uzbek-Khazakh Khorde, Persia, Sweden, Transylvania, Moldavia, France, Hugenots and many others.
In addition a number of factions will be represented by local rebells.


This is not a temporary project, it will not disappear after few weeks of work and since extensive research has been made for MTW VI edition much of the work is already done.

Regards Cegorach

Wow Ceg. Excellent.

[Zenith Darksea]

Wow. Ambitious.

Sounds cool, the renaissance era seems to get ignored by many, hope you do it justice.

Here is one of new research threads for MTW2 edition of the mod

Mali, Ethopia etc

Only some factions need more work like this, so the main challenge will be to gather several people to make models and skins for over 600 units

Not easy, but there is a lot of time, besides the mod threads are present in 6 forums already - so I think it will be noticed especially with some support we already gained.

Right now i'm actually playing pike and musket tw for mtw 1 and i love it.
would be great if you could make it playable for mtw 2

Treat PMTW for MTW (soon patched) as a guide to the future edition for MTW2.

Of course it will be much larger project, but basics will be similar.

Looking forward to french/huguenot wars, Richelieu was always one of my favourite Historical Figures.

Here is the new, revised

FACTION LIST

1. Spanish Empire

2. Portugal

3. England

4. Scotland

5. Hugenots

6. France

7. The Netherlands

8. Hapburg HRE

9. Bavaria

10. Denmark

11. Sweden

12. Venetian Republic

13. Transylvania

14. Crimean Khanate

15. Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

16. Ottoman Empire

17. Russian Tzardom

18. Uzbek Khorde

19. Persia

20. Mughal Empire

21. rebels

22. Iroquois Confederacy

23. Circassia

24. Ethiopia

25. Songhai Empire

26. Brandenburg

27. Saxony

28. Morocco

29. Wallachia

30. Georgia

31. Pope



It took me a while to decide - all those factions are interesting to play and had some serious impact in their areas.

In addition rebels will be made strong enought to spoil easy expansion with few exceptions where they won't be a serious problem e.g. around Songhai or in Northern America.

The general shape of the map

[Nikko0102]

wow, that's huge!

[cegorach]

Though the number of provinces will be much lower.


I have started faction-related topics in the forum

I will post unit rosters for each of the factions - for now it is done for Russia, Poland-Lithuania and Crimean Khanate, more will follow.

Cheers !

@Tadzreuli

I know those links.
I got much help in the thread 'help with Georgia' somewhere in this forum, in the MTW2 section.

@selenius4tsd

Thanks !

This is fantastic news! A great mod for the MTW2 engine. However, would it be possible to bring the closing date back a bit to about 1720? That way one could include the first Jacobite uprising of 1715. On that note, will Scotland have various Jacobite Highland units? Really looking forward to this mod.

Your are crazy guys!! I wish best luck !!

I want to avoid adding too many line units i.e. from 1700+ period.

Scotland will get quite simple roster - up to 10 units including Highland pikemen, swordsmen and Redshanks (bowmen). Mosstroopers and Border Reivers will appear too, but I don't want to add too much - other factions have to have much more diverse roster. e.g.
