Stainless Steel Preview: Units overhaul

[Vissewalde rex de Gerzika]

I really really hope that in 7.0 you guys will give us a more variety of castles and towns in battle mode cause that is what bores me the most when i play any mod out there, it's so boring to fight in the same castle and town over and over again no mather what faction you are against ...

Moddeling cities and castles ir ridicilously hard, there are only about 10 people who can do it in TWC.

Deam, can't wait for it

Hail to you,
I finally created an account on this forum, because I have to thank the Stainless Steel team for their great work. I discovered you mod last summer, and since it has becomed my favourite game. So much greater than the Medieval Total War normal version.

Rome II means nothing to me, I'm just wainting for Stainless Steel 7.0.

Keep up the good work, and thanks again.

A couple of more pics and please give me some feedback.
I ve' been having some trouble making the legs look right.
The first pic shows what I 've done with the arms and the other is...
well, it is what I have not liked with how the legs have turned out.
Which pair of legs do you like more?

Hey Paleologos, this unit is looking awesome. I must say that I like the pair second to the far right, it has a much darker and gritty look about it. Thank you my friend for all of this effort.

Thanks mate, I am discovering ways to do what previously seemed impossible to me all the time. I am about to test a sixth pair in-game.
I 'll be posting the first screenies of the full plate model in a while, but still a WIP with some way to go.
Truth be told, I never thought it would take me so long to come to a closure about a set of skins.


Edit: first screenies.

[Absurd]

That's some nice work, even if I understand why you've some issues with the legs. They don't seem perfect to me, especially the knees.
But it's easy for me to say that, I couln't do that myself.

there is something not quite right with the textures in the op
the weave in the linen is too pronounced, the textures overall are too dark and the mail is too shiny
other than that, they look nice

Thanks for the feedback mate. I won't be changing the mail any more. About the "weave on the linen", I have posted a number of pics, which one do you refer to by "op" ?

[Vissewalde rex de Gerzika]

You should change the helmets a bit, some are really shiny, while others look like they are really old.

Couldn't agree with you more, but I left the helmets for last because I also want to add a couple more to the mesh. Like I said before, still a WIP.
In the screenshot names "T" stands for breastplate type.

Hi,


the mod looks great, and I've only heard the greatest things about it! But I was wondering if perhaps the Muslim factions units could be aesthetically revamped? If you need some ideas, you could ask the Broken Crescent team about their Muslim units design. Also, they have units in many Muslim factions, that could easily be put into any of the Muslim factions you have. For example, your khwarezm faction could pull troops from the ghorid, ghaznavid, khwarezm, Seljuks of Iraq, and malikate of Sindh factions of BC. The Turks faction you have could pull units from the Seljuks of Rum faction of BC. The Egypt faction you have could pull from the Ayyubid, Abbasid, and Imamate of Oman factions in BC. As for the moors factions you have, BC features many African, and desert warrior types, as well as Arab spearmen and crossbowmen. I think it would make your job much easier for the Muslim factions, and would make this already awesome mod, far better! message me if you need help/suggestions on muslim unit designs.

Keep up the good work!

They are revamping the muslim factions and using the BC skins, im sure of it. Btw no need to post the same thing twice.

Awesome. Well if they need any help, I have an idea of how to incorporate units from one mod into another, though i'm sure they know how to do that already, far better than I do. I wasn't sure which post to post this advice in.

Well, there iis a submod that incorporated the BC unit skins into SS, you look it up for now.

[Supremo]
