Announcement: Change of plan for Gold

[Lusted]

Whilst it was originally intended to make Gold save game compatible, i have decided to include a lot more changes so it will lose the save game compatibility, but i hope you will agree with me that these changes mean losing save-game compatibilty worthwhile.

Full list of changes Gold will make on top of what previous versions of TE have done:

-latest version of Darths Formations mod, modified to work best with TE.
-new models for campaign map settlements and ports
-more balanced campaign
-new Roman models and skins done by me
-new Germanic models and skins done by webbird
-new Indian merc and rebel units done by Spirit of Rob that i will also be using in my Alexandros mod.
-new palm tree forests for the battle map
-a mix of webbird and prometheus ts grass mods(if i get permission)
-new Illyrian merc and rebel models and skins which will also be in my Alexandros mod.
-new Thracian units, and mercs and rebels which will also be in my Alexandros mod
-new models and skins for Hellenic states(Epirus, Baktria, Ptolemaios, Seleucid, Macedon) using models and skins from my Alexandros mod as a base.
-maybe some new buildings
-maybe some refined traits
-new symbols and banners for some factions done by Kaweh K
-new Spartan model and skin based on work by ATG
-new animations for some units using a combined EB, RTw and SignifierOne animation pack

And possibly more......

release date for Gold is unknown atm as im switching to a new comp soon and i will have to setup all my software again and get organised once more.

Agree at 100%. TE rocks!

That looks good Lusted.

I definately think it will be worth it to start a new campaign.

Hope your upgrade goes down without a hitch, I am going to buy a new comp when M2TW comes out, can't wait.

[Byte]

Aside from a few fixable bugs, i dont thing theres anything more to be "upgraded" on this awesome mod. But new skins and such are always welcomed.

Well I read earlier about your question to webbird, but I thought it was going to mess up savecompatibilty.
Means I was right.

Then, I honor your decision. Make the mod even more intresting and a true Gold version.

[Lusted]

Well im on the mew comp now, just got to sort my software out then i can start modding again.

[thoscme]

[Tzif]

Hi there,
sounds like a solid decision ... as long as you don't forget to change the color of Britons on the Campaign map :hmmm: ...you have my full support and patience to wait... :wink:

Hope you enjoy your new computer - guess it got better performance than the old one...so you can work --faster?!?... :wink:

Nice Lusted, will this make the realease date be sooner? Also are you stilling going to use ferres work?

[Lusted]

No im going to be using my Romans, the new ones i posted pics of a while ago as they look mmore unique.

[Tzif]

Is ther any chance you will add onagers again?

Tzif

[Xraider]

well i have 3 campaings so i have nothing to lose anyways waiting lusted and maybe you will add 4tpy ? it wut be really good (sorry for my english im not a master of english)

[Lusted]

Is ther any chance you will add onagers again?

Onagers are in 5.0 for most factions, but only available for the Romans AFTER the reforms.

[Tzif]

Oh, ok. Thanks Lusted. LOL, sorry about that.

Lusted why do you use Sinuhets formations? He already has an edition for TE...

[KatotheCenturion]

If you use Ferrels new 1.5 Romans this mod whould be even better, they are the best and hard to beat or improve upon,so might Ferrels 1.5 modding legions be used in this mod!!!

[Tzif]

He already said he was going to use his own Roman skins.

[Lusted]

Im using a modified version of DarthsFormations mod 16.0 in TE Gold.

[Hader]

If you use Ferrels new 1.5 Romans this mod whould be even better, they are the best and hard to beat or improve upon,so might Ferrels 1.5 modding legions be used in this mod!!!

Why do you ask Lusted to use Roman skins that are not his when he has already dedicated a ton of his time to create his own Roman skins that IMO are better than Ferrels Romans (like i said, IMO) Why ask someone to take out something that is one of the defining features of the mod? I am not trying to be rude but it is kind of stupid to ask Lusted to do such a thing.....

GOLD is looking awesome Lusted!! You know i want to play it and I cant wait till it comes out, but as you will find out in my PM that isnt going to be very easy to play GOLD......sigh.......
