Medieval Kingdoms Total War: The Ilkhanate Mongols

[MartinJ51]

Awesome!

This is a bit off-topic so apologize in beforehand ... but have you considered to add Song China and The Mongol Empire/Yuan Empire? I know that they cant possibly be in the campaign or anything, but they were so awesome and probably the two most powerful Empires during the middle ages that it would be a shame not to have them in this absolutely epic modd.

The campaign map is limited, so there's no way to put them on the map without making a ridiculous exception. There's plenty of areas we have no way of accurately representing and they'll unfortunately not be part of the mod, like the Chinese factions, the Indian factions, the Mali empire, the Republic of Novgorod and the Grand Duchy of Vladimir. Time and geography will also limit the playability and presence of factions like the Ottomans, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the Emirate of Granada, the Mamluks and the Turkoman confederations. That's just how it is.

If the Song and Yuan mean that much to you, you can always volunteer to create their assets and make their units then they could possibly added as custom battle factions, but that's probably as far as it can go.

Wrapping up the Mongols, looking at a current count of 73 units across both Mongol factions. Once everything is greenlit internally i'll put up pre-update previews of all 3 tiers, every unit for both factions in their respective threads, and some ramblings about future plans and whatnot.

I'm pretty sure actually the Ilkhanate right now has access as a whole to every single possible category of unit in TW Attila, and the Golden Horde is only 1 step behind them.

How do you make unit cards?

Updated with all 3 tiers, enjoy

Lots of units, big preview. Tell me if there is anything off or mixed up, its probably something that got messed up while I was making it. Oh, and this roster is not finished. I keep saying this but even once its playable, except more additions, more units, more models. Believe me, we still have some wild stuff to show you...

Fantastic Job

[Filips Augustus]

This goes for both threads, but goodness you did a terrific job Dontfearme! My compliments!

[Dom1no]

Indeed terrific roster! Europe get ready for that big wave of fear and blood coming from the east

[Ltd.]

Hungary ready ? - check
Poland ready ? - check
Rus ready ? - check

Sit back and relax. Those barbaric though fancy looking mongolians will have a rude awakening. Or so we hope...

[Heisenburrg]

Rus factions are ready??!

[Ltd.]

Ready to greet the mongol hordes with open arms and bows strung, I guess

[You_Guess_Who]

Oh, a welcoming party? Hope you bring the vodka - from us, enjoy the fireworks.

So I decided to remove the spears on the cart and make adjustments to make it look less Ming Dynasty looking, but this is basically what will be used for Rocket Carts.

Nice work Sly, I'm still checking your sketchfab on a weekly basis , so my compliments to all your other work as well.

Sly...what did I told you: That's 16th century model.

2 wheels, single large box, simple. That's what we need.

I did have a little retort here until I realized that the Chinese manual artworks that specific type of rocket-cart are based on are apparently undated. I thought they were from the Huolongjing which would put that specific design perfectly within the mods timeframe but until I figure out how to leaf through the thing page by page I can't arbitrate one way or another.

I will say that the design doesn't bother me much because to me the rocket compartment was innovative, not the method of mounting. It is my guess [guess, not stating any facts here] that from the moment the rocket-compartment was invented it would have been mounted on basically every kind of chassis imaginable, so I am not fretting with the specifics.

That said, if I can find the source data for the period art portraying Sly's design this debate will be pretty firmly settled on way or another, or until Sly changes his model design substantially and opens up a new question.

[Slytacular]

I think you missed the part where I said I changed it.

[OutsiderKK]

Hey, I just saw the name "Iqta Knights" and it really sounds funny. I hope that'll change soon
