Pike and Musket TW for MTW VI

[cegorach]

Pike & Musket TW is one of those huge mods for MTW VI and even if it is released so late I believe it is worth playing. It takes the player to the brutal period between 1480 and 1700 - the time of religious wars, exploration of new territories and much changing warfare.
You can lead about 30 factions in each of 3 ( 4 soon) much different campaigns, most of them with unique units, buildings, office titles and historical heroes.
More than 600 various units are available to command from ordinary musketeers and pikemen to guerilla light infantry, warwagons, Tatar scouts with two steeds each, ski troopers, movable artillery and others including so famous soldiers of that time like Ottoman Sipahi, Polish Winged Hussars, Landsknechts and English Ironsides.
You can always choose to use either your national troops in your nation's recruitment zone or employ numerous mercenaries including pirates, regional units or some unreliable town militia present in largest cities.
Many historical battles are available to play, often harder than before and with additional, unusual victory conditions.
If you are bored with the weak, apathetic AI from the 'vanilla' MTW playing one of small factions in PMTW 1.5 is right for you - often you will even struggle to survive if you are unlucky to face one of the superpowers of that time The Ottoman Empire, France or Spain. Of course you can always choose one of them to fight several wars at the same time...

Yes it is me, yes I am alive and YES I have the files and I intent to use them.



I am not going to bother you with my personal problems and there was a lot of them during the several months of my absence. Nothing too pleasant for sure...


Anyway, I know I owe you something, owe you A LOT in fact and this is the main reason of my presence here.

The second is obvious - I really liked working on this mod, I've spent a lot of time and -let's be frank - money to buy all the necessary reference books and other sources. I like the mod and I want it to be as good as possible and 1.5 is FAR from perfect.



Enough with the obvious.





I am going to re-work a lot of ideas and I will need some time to do so. I didn't play Medieval for months so I will need to re-learn some of modding, but I am quite sure it is like with riding a bicycle - you cannot forget everything you know. I hope so.

THis means it will take some time - despite the fact that I have almost 99 % of necessary work done. Or rather HAD.


That is because I want to make some changes:


I am planning to prepare TWO installments of the mod. One will concentrate on earlier period - say to 1600.

This should allow adding some addtional units and factions and especially some animation - if I will be able to add them.

I would be interested in adding the Aztecs, the Mayan and the Inca warriors if possible - for custom battles and MP, but still...





Second period would deal with later years - from 1570 to early XVIIIth century so probably INCLUDING the War of Spanish Succession and the Great Northern War.

This way the game should feel a bit different - slow paced early period campaign with phalanxes of piekemen killing each other and supporting arquebusiers and more dynamic later period with stronger musketry and artillery.


Armada CAMPAIGN and English Civil War campaigns wll be included as well - they are smaller and easier to accomodate so should be available in both installs.




Now I need to read some threads and see what changed since I've fled the field.

I'll better change the avatar - the Olimpic Games in China... well it is over now...

I was attempting to have as many regional units as possible - if I could with names in national langueges

[Rick]

Great!

Downloading now. But if it's not as good as Napoleonic Total War you are wasting my time. :inqusitio

[cegorach]

It is better. Even for BETA edition - the patch will solve most of the remaining problems. PMTW 2.0 ( September) will finish the project for MTW VI, MTW2 is waiting.:original:

[Titus]

Looks good guys never really looked at this mod much, have to download later and try it out.

[Shaun]

WOW! Nice work! Its a shame that this period has been so far neglected will definately give this a try after my XL campain.

Downloading now. But if it's not as good as Napoleonic Total War you are wasting my time.

Well it is a totally different time period.
