Stainless Steel Preview: Units overhaul

[Chekok]

I usually prefer to zoom in and see the action up close, in which case yes you can tell the difference between the higher and lower resolution units.

Yes system requirements are a concern but I for one would prefer to have a better looking unit and set the unit size smaller.

I turn off AA in game and my video card is actually pretty terrible and I can still tell the difference.

Can you tell the difference between your unit and these?

I didnt make these, just using them as an example.

So is performance your main reason for not giving them a higher resolution?

I would be very interested in seeing other attachments to the model like belts and what not.

I think that the name Spathatoi is not historically correct , the old name scoutatoi swordsmen is more appropriate since their name comes from their shield why would you change it ??

Nice units...

[Andytheplatypus]

Nice units...

You like them? Look surprisingly similar to your units wouldnt you say?

But seriously do you mind that we use them? Since your not modding SS anymore and you released your units as a resource I figured it would be ok. Let me know if I have to remove them.

i hate vanilla models,i think i had enough of playing unmodded MT2W several years ago
i turned to mods because they improved everything about the gameplay

now i started to mod the units myself

[Hrobatos]

Nice one!

Another pic of my wip, as always hope you like it...



More of them coming...

[Andytheplatypus]

Do you have an in game shot of that one?

Not yet, but I'm getting there. There is a lot more work to be done.

Here is another undergarnment skin.
More importantly the first belt model has been prototyped, though the skin for the it I have used before.

[King of the Ring]

to be certain,scoutatoi was equipped with both sword and spear but in MT2W will not work properly unless its fixed
so i had to split the scoutatoi in 2 units

this will replace the boring and old model for crusader knights

[King of the Ring]

[paleologos]

I would really love to see some milkshape wireframe screenshots, maybe I can contribute some skins for them and even some lower lod models if you don't mind colaborative works.

[Hrobatos]

Oh damn, why couldnt you do units for Tsardoms They look excelent!

[King of the Ring]

you never asked me to do 3d stuff
and the team is doing very well without me

damn!!!i forgot to finish those unit cards and 2d info images

ill work a bit more later i need to polish the crusader knight a bit

[Hrobatos]

We didnt know you are doing that too Dont worry, any contribution to Tsardoms is apreciated, you have other projects you are working on, we understand, its not an issse

[Vissewalde rex de Gerzika]

Awesome work KOTR!

[paleologos]

With attachments...
I "doctored" the dagger in, but the purse I had to model from scratch.
Just a few more touches before lod0 is complete.

Those crusaders look great, I cant wait to watch them fight. Btw, its no big deal.. but do you think that instead of "the crusader states" you could just name it The kingdom of Jerusalem? Wasnt it called that irl anyway?

The Kingdom of Jerusalem was just one of several Crusader States that existed over a longer period of time. Gameplay-wise it seems to me that representing several states would not work for the Crusader States, at least not on the big map.

[Evalation]

Yea I know there were others, but at this time I believe the KOJ was the most powerful, I could be mistaken, and the latin empire diddnt show up untill the early 1200's, which is why I asked.

Thank you for your answer though.

The beautiful pictures are gone! OH MY !!!!!!!!!!!!1
