Disciples: Total War

[Farin Frostgeir]

Just opened a thread about your mod in French TW forum, keep this up!

It would be nice if you wrote the names of developers. And indicate link to main page, which is on the Russian site. A so, very good. Thank you!)
http://imtw.ru/topic/46948-disciples-total-war/

Do you have a plan for the summoned units like the Valkyries?

We will make them on the basis of other models, as in the Disciples 3 the they are absent. Whe need a man, who has skills in working with 3D models.

[Farin Frostgeir]

Oui bravo! It come from Montréal I think by Strategy First. I well know this game the 2nd was by far the best and one of the best game ever. I will put it anytimes on my top 10 of best game of all time. Sure MTW2 it the 1st(Well maybe 2nd as BG2SoA it hard to beat and I got lot of CtD issue with MTW2 in the pass, it pretty touchy to install when you dont know but now I know, CtD are almost a thing of the pass) but I think Disciples saga will make a great mod, keep the good work.
I owned the 1st edition and the gold edition of Disciples 2 in the time. The art it so awesone and that so good for your imagination. The music is great too.

It is a pity that among the outside of Russia the game is not very popular. Unlike Heroes 3.=) (If speak about beginners, not old fans Disciples 2.)

Yes it can be hard as if you want to go with original art you will need alot of unique model. Did you know about Blender? It free and have alot of online tutorial.

Well if it go up to Gold version for D2 it mean it was popular somewhere, or maybe Russia it for it alot IDK Talking Heroes of Might of Magic 3 it on my top 10 also, probably 3rd, it a little better than Disciples 2 but not much.

I'm not doing 3D, Edmond does it. He uses the program MilkShape.

I think u should include spellcasters as agents like all healers from D2 or D3 or D1 like more priests from vanilla. Just make them too expensive to have it. it would be nice Hierophant and prophet have very nice look in game. Also archdruidess and druid for dwarves.

Barbarians how many units 4 or more?

dragons and beasts would u incoporated them too or not? i think one mod few years ago had dragons or some beasts in game.

What u will do with angels and other rod placers from discples would u incoporated them in mod as agent or low lvl units or u will not include at all.

what a about buildings would u include those outside cities as genereic ones or u will ignore them? Mercenaries are quite good in d2 especially favorite one of mine man-at-arms would u include them as faction specific or as regular AOR for all?

And pls dont upload this mod as dl from moddb i just have problem dl from there for DaC mod hat i want to play or at least include few more dl servers.Rly keen to have this mod.

As for agents, we have not yet decided. In plans are to make all the priests magicians who can creat spells on a strategic map.

Did not understand, what specifically you mean.

[Shogun]

Did not understand, what specifically you mean.

U remeber there is mercanry camp building outside main faction building rosteri was asking would u include those buildigs in main faction building roster so u can add men-at-arms, spearmen etc to specific faction or it will be for barbarians or netural faction.
I read your forum apperently u include them in neutral faction.

As for agents, we have not yet decided. In plans are to make all the priests magicians who can creat spells on a strategic map.

i was proposing to make them as too much expensive agents which can spread faction faith better and they can start with more piety than regular priests. I was not even think u can implement spell casting on strategy map.

There will be mercenary camps. On the strategic map, they are marked by a model. We do not yet know exactly how they should function. Either as buildings in which it will be possible to hire more mercenaries; or as the only regions in which recruitment will be possible.
Units of these will be partially accessible and empires, such as spearmen and peasants, in buildings.

@Farin Frostgeir

Amazing work so far.
I litterally will be biggest critic if u dont do this mod properly

Additional factions like separatist share same unit roster from empire? Faction symbol is arguable one.

Yeah really, critics will be more than enough.)

In the main, - yes. But this faction will have and their own unique units too.

Faction symbol is arguable one.

It was possible to do so, but I decided to do otherwise.
Phoenix symbolizes the reincarnation of the Empire from the ashes into a new state formation.

Guards Niflheim

Made on the basis of units from DaC, and partially retektrirurovany. Appearance is not final.

[Shogun]

hmmm...

Myzrael was commander of heavens army but according to lore of disciples he cant leave human capitol and must protected always. Maybe was better to that u made Myzrael as super unit highly expensive/costly upkeep etc. than general and btw Myzrael was prolly must OP creature in D2 maybe only Astergoth was more powerfull so all unique creatures from City guardians should have OP stats.

Same goes for Ashkael he was commander of 40 legions of damned but he was also sent to protect only capitol never to leave it, same for Ashgan etc.

Better to use some others ingame D2 generals such Z'hral for legion or Raiden for Empire etc.

About Nilfheim factions are u trying to copy it from other game or cuz D2 had dwarven alliance although there is entire D2 campaing path for dwarves when they fight against Icemar and chaos dwarfs as i remmember.

there is quite large amount units until u upgrade main unit would u also get them in unit roster. Like wyverns and dragons? As big units high expensive/upkeep. Cyclops where they gonna go to barbarians or else.

All guardians of capitals will be as separate units. I specially made them generals because only to them, can be remove movement on the strategic map.
Ashkael and Ashgan actually govern as governors, so they are the leaders of the factions.

About Nilfheim factions are u trying to copy it from other game or cuz D2 had dwarven alliance although there is entire D2 campaing path for dwarves when they fight against Icemar and chaos dwarfs as i remember.

Well, firstly, there is such an area on the map. And secondly, Niflheim played his, roll in the plot of D1 in the campaign of mountain clans, yes.

Dragons, Cyclopes and other creatures with complex animation, - most likely will not appear in the first version.

[Shogun]

Hmm.. clever clever...but yet IMHO they should be just highly costly/upkeep units lets say time to recruit 10 turns/cost:20000 gold and upkeep 10000. Cuz as u know in disciples series they are just godsend creatures to protect capitols not rly generals.
If u made them as u did well they should have massive OP stats and downside of genrals they will die. So as i said before much better that u made them as creatures/units than generals.

Well, firstly, there is such an area on the map. And secondly, Niflheim played his, roll in the plot of D1 in the campaign of mountain clans, yes.

I agree there is area in d1 and d2 but your mod start in time of d2 or close to related d2 guardians of light so main anti dwarven faction was Icemar. And i had quite nice rage quits during that campaign.
Nevertheless they should be interested faction. Although i would prefer u stick to Icemar they combined both dwarves/chaos/neutral units.

Dragons, Cyclopes and other creatures with complex animation, - most likely will not appear in the first version.

I want my cyclops in mod goddamn it. No delay. No need for animation u could made them by asking maybe TATW team or DaC to give u heads up by using Olog-hai as reference for cyclops. I remember that one mod had those dragons or spellcasters in its mod wrapped it around catapult skin i will try to find which mod was.

If u need Teamspeak section for mod i can offer u section in my gaming community TS so u could easily speak, collaborate with your team on mod.

This mod is looking awesome, keep up the great work. I really like those ground textures, I know it can be hard to get them looking right with the micro/macro textures and darker ground types.

[Farin Frostgeir]

Voice acting for characters/agents on a strategic map is ready.
Replicas for characters/agents of the strategic card are take mainly from Disciples 2 and partly from Disciples 3. Voice acting done is in russian languare.

[Farin Frostgeir]

Temporary models of characters/agents on the strategic map are ready
All models of characters/agents on the strategic map replaced with temporary (reworked).

P.s
Priests in fashion - are magicians. That is, in addition to the spread of religion, with their help on the strategic map it will be possible to various magical spells.
