New Death Animations?

**VektorT** · July 07, 2012, 05:33 PM

Hey, guys! I do like to ask two things to the great modders of SS and the people with a lot more knowledge in MTW2 than I.

First, a simple one. I know there is some new animations for Medieval Total War 2 that already come with the vanilla but aren't actived. I'm not seeing then in my ST 6.4. They are not included? Can I download or manually active then?

Second, something I always think. I simple love the special death animations, when two units engage in a fight sequence an one of then execute the other. I think this was a huge step foward when compared to RTW and bring a lot more life (or death) to the game. But... isn't possible to create new ones? Most of the games are played with spearmans and then only have one animation... And I never saw someone talking about that. I supose it's impossible to create new ones... Is it?

It's not impossible to create them... you just have to be an animator.

A lot of vanilla animations were omitted as they unbalanced combat too much.

Really!? I didnt know that! For real? How they unbalanced the fight!?
I know that two handed units has very slow animations on the vanilla and that make then vulnerable, but I think this is solved.

By the way... some of the "hidden" anim are in Stainless Steel, but not all I think.

well, I know that there's that one animation where a swordsman brutally thrusts his sword through an opponent's chest and then kicks him to pull it back out, followed by a pivot slash, that animation usually pulls in the attacking character into the enemy ranks, gets him surrounded and killed.
If that is what he means with unbalancing.
