    Old previews

    Preview RotR 1.1




    As a new version for Rise of the Republic is on the horizon, let me summarize what we've done in the past years and what will be new in the next release.

    4 new Factions are added and completely reworked. So apart from France and Great Britain there are the USA, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Electorates of Saxony and Hannover. Furthermore you can already recruit some new Swedish and Russian units in the Battle mode.

    Units
    At first there are of course the units.
    France and Great Britain will still have there old roster, with a few additions as the Rifle Corps or Scots Greys (or historically correct: the Royal North British Dragoons) for Great Britain or the Chasseurs ŕ Cheval or Légion Noire for the French Republic.
    Rifle Corps
    Scots Greys
    Légion Noire


    The 4 new Factions have all their unique roster.
    So the US will have a relatively strong militia while not having a lot of regulars.
    US Units

    Prussia will have a large amount of units from every type but there cavalry will be inferior.
    Prussian Units
    Fusiliers
    Guard
    Dragoons
    Cuirassiers

    On the other hand Hannover will have a number of great cavalry units and a few elite light units and average infantry. Furthermore the relatively good training level of the Hanoverian army will be reflected.
    Hanoverian Units
    Guard Grenadiers
    Hanoverian East India Regiments
    Yes Hannover sent 2 regiments to India in order to help the EIC during the 1780s
    Hanoverian Guard
    Hanoverian General and Staff officer
    14th Light Infantry

    Saxony was after the devastating Seven Years War in no state to uphold a good working army. So Saxony has only average infantry and cavalry units. Light units will only appear late in the game.

    Tech trees
    As you may have noticed in the previous version, we started on creating new tech-trees. This work was continued for the next version. But only to the Army and Philosophy tech-trees. It reflects the Factions focus and specialties.
    As example:
    US Philosophy tech-tree

    1.2 Social Contract
    2.1 Empiricism
    3.2 Separation of Powers
    4.1 Encyclopedie
    5.2 Common Government
    6.1 Learned Society
    6.2 Declaration of Independence
    6.3 Virginia Declaration of Rights
    7.2 Articles of Confederation
    8.1 Scientific Method
    8.2 Federalism
    8.4 National Bank
    9.2 Constitution
    9.3 Judiciary Act
    9.4 Coinage Act
    10.2 Alien and Sedition Acts

    US Army tech-tree




    Buildings
    We create new building chains in order to let you have to choose. You can no longer simply build up to 5 different chains in the cities and choose between a few possibilities for the towns. Now there are much more possibilities with their strengths and weaknesses.
    Further many new building models were created and Hannover and London have their unique city model.
    City models
    Here is Hannover:

    And here London:


    Historical Characters

    Preview RotR 1.1 Patch 1
    Hello,

    At first I want to apologise from the annoying campaign crash. The good news is, I found the bug and fixed it so the campaign will be stable again. There were just 2 entries in the AI tables in the startpos.esf wrong and this caused the AI searching in a Region for an army where the army was not. This caused the R 6025 runtime error.

    Furthermore I corrected all incorrect textures which were reported in the hope that all have been found. I addition GB and France can now recruit trade ships and the US can now expand their ports and plantages.

    In addition the end-date for the 6 done factions have been fixed to 1803.

    Special thanks to MAIAN and Switz for many hours of testing and helping me find the bug!

    In addition I did a bit more than just fixing bugs, I though that I give you a bit more. The results are 2 new elite units and many new historical characters.

    New Units
    US Marines


    And onboard a frigate:
    42nd Regiment (Britain) the Black Watch

    Several new historical characters are added to the mod

    Note that you can recruit characters only at their 20th birthday! So for example Wellesley and Napoléon are only recruitable in the year 1789 and not before. If you try to recruit them before that date the portraits will not be correct. In general I tried to create a sequence in which you can recruit all characters with their correct portrait but this can not be guaranteed!

    Default Re: NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS



    For the future Patch 2, here is a preview of things that will be added for Hannover:

    At first there will a new UI. We are switching from Baroque to Neoclassical style so it's naturally that everything is toned down a bit.

    Hanoverian UI Preview


    Furthermore Hannover will get new Naval Officers. I added some lines about the process of creating them.

    Hanoverian Naval Officers

    From left to right:
    1. Capitaine
    2. Admiral
    3. Lieutenant


    In-game screenshots
    Admiral and Lieutenant:

    Capitaine:


    But you will now say, Hanoverian Naval Officers? Did they ever have a Navy?

    Well, not exactly. The Hanoverian Government had some ships, used for customs service (the so-called 'Elbzollfregatte'). Here is one of the ships from the mid 18th century with a captain (Capitaine):

    Elbzollfregatte and Capitaine

    From this picture I took the base uniform colours: blue and white with gold facings. For the other uniform details I used the late 18th century infantry officers and generals uniform:

    Hanoverian Officers

    On the left is a pic of a Hanoverian General and on the right one of an Infantry Officer. As you can see all Hanoverian officers wore two epaulets. So every naval officer has two of them. What is not displayed is that the general had lace around the lapels and cuffs. (take a look at this picture from the Hanoverian cavalry general von Freytag):

    von Freytag

    So I gave the Admiral the uniform details from the Hanoverian generals as the rank would have been the same. The only exception second row of lace on the cuffs comes from the British Royal Naval uniform pattern, take a look at this link.

    For the Lieutenant I used the pattern of the Hanoverian officers whereas for the Capitaine I added lace around the buttonholes (as in the mid 18th century uniform above) and a row of lace on the cuffs (the idea came from the Royal Navy uniform again).

    Take a look at our new Facebook and Twitter page.

    Here is the preview of our newest update, 1.1.9, Patch 2. This is an open Beta and not heavily tested but should fix the annoying campaign bug from 1.1.

    We now have a new tag, created by oleg2242.


    Another new thing are the Hanoverian Navy Officers you can see above.

    The flag set has been replaced by wangrin's and Herr Doktor's work (and a bit of mine).

    Furthermore there are many new historical characters in the game for you to find and defeat

    In addition Hannover got a new UI in the Neoclassical style.

    I can present you the 3rd patch for Imperial Splendour - Rise of the Republic 1.1 (the CA stole our name for their newest Rome II DLC). The patch contains several bugfixes reported by you over the last few weeks. For more details look at the Changelist.
    All changes should be savegame compatible (with a few only appearing when starting a new campaign).

    Changelist

    1. France:
      • French Republican general recruitable in custom battles
      • Grenadiers ŕ Cheval and several other Republican units now recruitable in the campaign
      • Assigned the Republican units to the new tech tree

    2. Fixed the bug with the model of the Hanoverian artillery officer which caused a CTD during battle load.
    3. Fixed several German leader titles (Pfalz-Baiern, Hessen-Kassel and Wirtemberg)
    4. Sweden:
      • Fixed the CTD during battles when dragoons were dismounting
      • Sweden can now build new ships
      • Ministers have now correct titles

    5. Corrected the "number" of some leaders and successors
    6. Venice is now a "constitutional monarchy" because it fits better their government system with Doges elected for the rest of their lives
    7. Fixed wrong portraits for Ferdinando IV of Neapels
    8. Fixed wrong name for the Austrian successor
    9. Added better versions of the historical maps (still needs some more work)
    10. Russia is not at the start in peace with the Ottoman Empire
    11. Dagestan is now at peace with the Barbary States at the beginning of a new campaign.

    Hello,
    we've got some news for you! During the past few months, we were working on the next version of RotR 1.2 - the Northern Wars Update. It's not done yet but we hope that we get the release done in April / May next year.
    As the name suggests RotR 1.2 will be centred around the northern factions - Sweden, Russia and Denmark.

    But until then we've something to show you:

    Sweden
    Here is the Swedish army:



    compared to RotR 1.1.9b there are 5 new Swedish units:
    1. Drottningens lif regemente (the 5th unit in the upper line)
    2. Tyska regemente (the last unit in the lower line)
    3. Lifregementets grenadjärkĺr (the 8th unit in the lower line)
    4. Lifgrenadjärregementet (the 7th unit in the lower line)
    5. Lifregementets lätta bataljon (the 9th unit in the lower line)


    The latter three will be unlocked after researching a tech as they were only created after Gustav IV Adolf became king.

    And here some in-game screenshots of the new units:

    Drottningens lif regemente

    Tyska regemente

    Lifregementets grenadjärkĺr

    Lifgrenadjärregementet

    Lifregementets lätta bataljon


    Russia
    Thanks to the great work by oleg2242 we can now present you the Russian army:


    And some in-game screenshot:
    And some in-game screenshots of the Russian army
    Grenadiers
    Unicorn Howitzers
    Hussars
    Greek volunteers
    Cuirassiers
    Cossacks


    New small nations will be represented in a new way:

    Brunswick
    The first is Brunswick. Small nations will have their unique building chain which will only be available at the town where they are located. The unique buildings will have some special all-round effects and are making the units available.
    Have a look:



    If you want to have a closer look at some of the new building models follow those links:
    Collegium Carolinum
    Schloss Salzdahlum


    In addition new generic building models will be added:


    On the left side is the new Guards model, on the top the Gunpowder magazine model (tier 1 artillery model) and on the bottom the new Barracks model.


    Furthermore, the historical events have been partly equipped with new historical images:

    Eventpics

    From left to right:
    1. The Bavarian Illuminati
    2. The Methodist Church
    3. The Voltaic Pile
    4. The Electric Pistol

    6. The Times
    7. The Observer
    8. Smallpox Vaccination

    10. The Rosetta Stone
    11. Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect
    12. Mungo Park and the Segu kingdom
    13. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
    14. Mozart Dies
    15. The London Monster
    16. Last Jig at Tyburn

    3. Gas Lighting
    4. Bifocal Eye Glasses
    5. Transportation to Australia

    7. The Hot-air Balloon



    Finally even more historical characters will be added

    1. Henry Dearborn (General)
    2. William Hull (General)
    3. Josiah Harmar (General)
    4. James Wilkinson (General)

    As announced in the last preview Denmark will be the next faction that will be reworked for RotR 1.2.
    Today I'll present you the first works on Denmark and how we work to create new units.

    The first part is obviously checking the sources and how the uniforms did develop.
    Those plates below were especially helpful:
    Plates:


    Then we discussed the pros and cons and decided for the m1789 uniform. For this uniform we already had many parts of the model, as for example the coatee which could be taken from the Legion of the United States
    Legion of the United States Private


    Still the new Top Hat had to be done.
    As our primary source showed only one side of the hat, we had to have a look at other pictures as a reference and for comparison.
    It was this picture (the sitting private in the front):
    Reference picture


    Soon the Top Hat began to look like a Top Hat:
    WIP pictures of the Top Hat


    Then the unit model itself had been created and the details added.
    Here is a WIP picture


    The final step was to adjust the vertex weights to ensure a smooth animation.
    Here is a picture from a test


    And here are a preview of the final models (the Grenadier hat was already part of a Swedish guard unit and had just been taken over):
    Denmark Line and Light Infantry and Grenadier


    You can take a closer look at the Danish Top Hat here.

    Second myfate joined our team as DB-Editor and Ship-Painter! Welcome him to the team. Surly the ships painting has to be ready for an inspection of the admiral! He already started to work on new colour schemes for ships as you can see here and don't forget to rep myfate :
    Painted Hulls


    In addition new historical characters have been added:
    US Admirals

    1. Thomas Truxtun
    2. Richard Dale
    3. Edward Preble

    Swedish Admirals

    1. Carl Olof Cronstedt
    2. Salomon Maurits von Rajalin
    3. Johan af Puke
    4. Eric af Klint
    5. Carl Vilhelm Modee

    Swedish Generals

    1. Curt von Stedingk
    2. Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt
    3. Gustav Wachtmeister
    4. Georg Carl von Döbeln
    5. Carl Johan Adlercreutz
    6. Johan August Sandels


    At last, some new event-pics were made. I used some of the great caricatures of Thomas Rowlandson to bring in some humour of the late 18th century. I hope you do like them.
    event-pics
    1. Britain Drill (for techs)
    2. New pic for before duel
    3. New pic for after duel
    4. Critique of the Revolution (for tech with the same name)
    5. New pic for Highwayman
    6. Prussia army (tech pic)
    7. Diplomacy Ottoman positive
    8. Government Ottoman
    9. New York Stock Exchange
    10. Petticoat duel
    11. Whitney's Cotton Gin
    12. Air Loom


    I hope you do like this new form of presenting you the progress we make on RotR 1.2. I thought it would be nice to give you a little insight into how we work.

    Today is the 10th anniversary of Empire: Total War. So we decided to release a little anniversary gift for Empire: Total War and our fans; the anniversary beta.





    While 1.2 - The Northern Wars Update is still under development you can see many things that will be in 1.2:
    Danish Army
    The first infantry units of the Danish army are done:

    1. Danish Line Infantry
    2. Danish Grenadiers
    3. Danish Light Infantry
    4. Danish Life Regiment
    5. Norwegian Line Infantry
    6. Norwegian Grenadiers
    7. Norwegian Life Regiment

    Russian Army

    Also apart from the new ship paintings done by myfate, some new special ships can be build:
    New ships
    Christian den Syvende, Denmark
    Amazon-Class, Great Britain
    Tonnant-Class, France
    Montańés-Class, Spain

    Furthermore Saxony, the US, Sweden and Denmark have their own culture now, meaning they have unique campaign map models (except the Danish, theirs are not yet done) and historical characters.
    Campaign map models

    1. Sweden
    2. Saxony
    3. United States

    Russian Empire: Army, Navy and Diplomacy


    With the next update of the Imperial Splendour: Rise of the Republic even more gameplay aspects will be enhanced. In this preview, we will talk about major victory achievement means – Army, Navy and Diplomacy when playing as the Russian Empire.

    Let’s start from diplomacy first. And from the probably most significant diplomat of the century – Empress Catherine II.


    Being a ruler of Russia for already over than 20 years she gained several powerful traits, which help to keep control and supervision over the endless lands. There is a lot of things to do more, but time is merciless and as soon as she dies, it is necessary to be prepared for major changes in all aspects of the Empire’s life.


    We introduced new characters’ ancillaries based on historical Imperial Russia's award system consisted of seven orders. Catherine received a unique one - with diplomacy bonus. Order of Saint George is commonly given for military victories and heroism only. The other orders are not limited, with traits depending on character type, they will decorate Imperial servants for the honest service. Or for being a favourite of someone.


    To adequately react to the challenges given by the constantly changing world, it is needed to keep abreast of the other countries development. This will fall on ambassadors. They will help to gather required information about neighbouring factions’ economics and military might via spying networks and ties inside foreign governments. And generally, about things are going on.


    Ten historical diplomats are ready to serve wherever they will be sent.


    But who will care too much about diplomacy when it is possible to crush numerous enemies of the Empire with the army led by the glorious field marshals?


    We developed the general's pool, which is a mix of the recruited historical military commanders with different values and importance.


    All of them will receive corresponding traits more or less based on their true biography. As the Peter I successfully introduced military governors’ system at the beginning of the century, it was the intention to give generals some of the civil traits as well or garrison policing bonus at least. So, some not being really able on the battlefield, could still be appointed for the civilian duties and faithfully serve.


    The army is great, but the aims are even greater. It will be mandatory to fight on several war theatres to achieve the victory condition.

    To be one of the world’s greatest naval power is a prestigious and expensive thing, so it is necessary to develop a strong economy first before building a large navy. But further Empire's expansion to the south and south-west requires total control of the Black Sea, and so the powerful Black Sea fleet with a well-trained crew.


    The naval roster is completely overhauled and benefits of Russian heavy frigates will be significant.


    Similar to diplomats and general, admirals also received their historical characters’ pool and awards.



    Interests of Empire are not limited to Europe, it is a time to establish a monopoly on the maritime fur trade and to develop and colonize New World territories. Foundation of the Russian-American Company following the example of British and French are inevitable.

    Next, we will be working on the introduction of military technologies as close as possible to simulate true development. The religious and scientific part will be overviewed as well.



    Dano-Norwegian Army

    Also with the next update of Imperial Splendour: Rise of the Republic the Dano-Norwegian army is ready to be led by you.
    Of course, you'll get help from your generals and admirals:



    Furthermore this is the roster:

    7. Dansk 6-pund monteret Artillerie

    Finally, our team is continuously working on different things such as descriptions, icons, flags, experimenting with game mechanics, etc. just to make it finally possible to submerge in the true atmosphere of the 18th-century world:






    At last, we want to answer the question of what still needs to be done before the next release.

    As the 2018 Modding Awards are over now, we can proudly say the Rise of the Republic won the Awards in the ETW, NTW and Shogun 2 section!
    Thanks to you all who voted for us!
    In addition PikeStance and I were awarded as 3rd and 4th place favourite modders of this section! Again we would like to thank you for voting for us

    Also we have something new, a new preview video made by Fahnat


    Also when doing bug-fixing we noticed that the soundtrack could lead to sounds not playing. Therefore the complete soundtrack was reworked. We now cut several longer recordings into smaller pieces to reduce the size of the tracks and also the amount disk space used so that all sounds are played properly (and also removing unnecessary silence at the beginning and end of some pieces). The soundtrack is still a Classical music soundtrack and uses calmer music for the campaign (mostly Piano music), more vivid (a march of Beethoven, used in the video too!) and full orchestra music for the land battles and finally mostly string quartets/quintets for naval battles. Overall the soundtrack was expanded with much more pieces as before.
    By the way, the messed-up campaign agent voices were fixed too (a very weird bug, I can tell you, had to rewrite a DB with exactly the same content).

    Here is the complete list with every piece we used and in which situation it can play. Click on the links to listen to the pieces:

    So finally the last question, when is the next release coming?

    Yes, we know, we promised it for may but nothing happened. Sadly RL came in between. There are still some things need to be done (like the Swedish tech-trees). We won't release a new version before that because the next release will be a full release and should be complete, not as the anniversary beta where you could see missing things. So we hope you still have some patience with us, version 1.2 is definitely coming!

    Thanks for your patience and enjoy the music.

    We know, there haven't been an update or a Developers blog for a long time. But time is a limiting issue when modding.

    Furthermore, we want to release a clean version 1.2 and not another beta.

    But many things have been made in the background. In order the give the AI the ability to make use of conquered regions we centralised the building chains. So not every faction has his own building chain any more. All factions share the same chains, just the Prestige Buildings, localisation, models and UI are different.

    This model of the town hall of Coburg will serve as a generic town hall:


    And this is the final model of the special Brunswick building chain:


    You can see them in a 3D preview here.

    Also, many descriptions were added and the website received a complete overhaul. Many bugs you reported were fixed and we try to improve the overhaul quality of the mod.

    And many things will be new in the next version and mods like iporto9393's Train your Generals at Schools! -&- Fixed Trait and Ancillary Triggers will be incorporated in 1.2.

    In addition, those guys will be part of RotR 1.2 as a little anticipation of RotR 1.3:













    The basic model was made by Flikitos long ago with some slight adaptions made by me.

    Furthermore the Total War Center 2019 Modding Awards are now live! Click on the image below

    Today is the 226th anniversary of the Glorious First of June. Is there any better day to present the British Naval officers?

    Here they are, long-awaited British Naval officers in the 1787 uniform regulation uniforms:


    To left is the lieutenant, in the middle the admiral (vice-admiral to be precise, he has two rows of gold lace on his cuffs) and to the right is the captain (full-captain, meaning he has three years seniority on the list).

    To see a real coat of a full-captain follow this link to the Royal Museums Greenwich - National Maritime Museum

    These are the officers in-game:





    That's not all news for Great Britain. We will also look into the British units in the Americas in order to avoid that Great Britain can spawn huge amounts of well-trained units. During making this, new British colonial units will be provided as the West India Regiments:



    And here they are in action:



    The recruitment of those units recruited from the black slave on the plantations is restricted to the West Indies and on every island, you can recruit a few. According to 18th century society, the regiments are commanded by white officers.

    Furthermore here are all new generic European building models which are currently completed in will be in the next update (click on the image or the link below for a 3D-preview):

    Finally, I have some news about the followers, each will get its little icon. Here you can see some:





    Some are caricatures (especially by Thomas Rowlandson and William Hogarth) and some are paintings or sketches, we hope you like them.


    And Imperial Splendour - Rise of the Republic has won the 2019 Modding Awards at Total War Center (furthermore, I was awarded the 3rd place as Favourite modder)!

    July '20 Developers Blog


    Today we present you the latest work from June, featuring mostly colonial units in the West Indies.


    As the West India Regiment was already in the June blog let's start with the British units!

    The first units are the Black light infantry in 2 variants: Loyal Black Rangers, recruitable in the original British colonies and Black Chasseurs, recruitable in the other colonies. Both units have a bonus in fighting in the West Indies:

    Loyal Black Rangers:



    Black Chasseurs:



    Also the British can recruit a cavalry unit in Hispaniola and Cuba, the Uhlans Britannique. Historically they were recruited for service in Hispaniola in Europe as an auxiliary unit for the British campaign in Hispaniola. Due to the climate in the West Indies and the yellow fever many men died. Therefore the unit has only 60 men.

    Uhlans Britannique:



    Also, all factions will have access to some generic colonial units in the West Indies, here are the first 2:

    Generic Black Chasseurs:



    Generic White Planter Militia:



    As you can see, we also created a generic white officer for all West India units.

    But that's not all. Finally, the British Highlander Light Infantry is done!



    Also, the Guards have now a light infantry unit replacing the light infantry of the Marines:



    The 42nd Regiment of Foot, the Black Watch, received an update on their uniforms. They have now the correct lace around their buttonholes.



    Here are the unit icons:



    1. Guards Light Infantry
    2. West India Regiment
    3. Black Chasseurs
    4. Loyal Black Rangers
    5. Uhlans Britannique
    6. 42nd Regiment of Foot 'Black Watch'
    7. Highlanders Light Infantry



    1. Black Chasseurs
    2. White Planters Militia

    As already announced iporto9393's Train your Generals at Schools! -&- Fixed Trait and Ancillary Triggers mod will be added in the next update. Among other things, it adds new followers. Some followers are created also only for RotR. Here are all new followers:

    For Admirals:



    1. Steward - A Steward cares for the needs of his master.
    2. Ship's cat - A cat is on a ship to control the population of rats and therefore prevent the provisions from being eaten.
    3. Coxwain - A coxswain is the man who steers a ship. But a loyal coxswain is much more. He commands the personal barge crew of his captain or admiral, follows him from ship to ship and can even act as his bodyguard.
    4. Boatswain - The boatswain had responsibility for rigging, cables, anchors, sails and boats. They were not eligible to command ships but could stand watches. They were less educated than the more senior warrant officers, although they needed to keep accounts. But access to the ship's stores comes to a price...

    Note that each admiral can have only one follower out of the first three.

    For Generals:



    1. Influential Cousin - This man has influential relatives. In the world of the 18th century where kinship is a major factor in promotion having influential relatives is important. This secures future advancement even when having no talents at all. The cousin also attracts persons without a patron seeking patronage.
    2. Drummer - A drummer is needed to let the soldiers march in cadence. He gives provides the speed of the march. But he acts as a battlefield medic too.
    3. Fifer - A fifer is needed to cheer up the men with his tunes. But he acts as a battlefield medic too.
    4. Trumpeter - A trumpeter signals a cavalry unit how to move. Also, the sound encourages the men.
    5. Matador (only available for Spanish and Portuguese generals)

    For Scholars:



    1. Female Doctoral Candidate
    2. Interested Wife

    Especially the last to followers based on Historical people, especially Dorothea Schlözer and Marie-Anne Paulze Lavoisier. Both followers are very rare but they both give a bonus on the research speed and the Female Doctoral Candidate gives an additional bonus on the ability to research techs from the Philosophy tech-tree.

    Also, Pike's AI is also in the next update (thanks to myfate!) but there is a little issue we have to fix. This also answers when the next release is - not before we can fix the issue.

    We will keep you posted on our progress!

    October '20 Developers Blog


    After a summer break here is our newest content.


    The last British and generic units for the West Indies are done!

    At first the British:

    20th (Jamaica) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons:



    The 20th (Jamaica) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons was raised in 1792 for service in Jamaica. It saw service in the Second Maroon War. The regiment was equipped with a special helmet similar to French infantry helmets around the revolution. At the front was a badge with the regimental number and the regimental insignia - a crocodile - referring to Jamaica.


    Here is the in-game icon:


    The other - and last - British unit is the West Indies Militia artillery. This means in the West Indies you can only recruit some 6 pounder guns with inferior stats. Proper artillery has to be shipped from Europe!



    And here are the final generic West Indies units:

    Generic West India Regiment



    Generic West India Light Dragoons



    Generic West India Militia Artillery



    Here are the unit icons:


    Furthermore, I have 2 new buildings for you: (click on the names or pictures to see them in 3D):


    The Schloss Lütetsburg is located in Lütetsburg near Norden in East Frisia in Germany. Attached to the palace is a large English Landscape Garden - the oldest one in Germany and it still exists! Originally a castle was located on the place the palace was erected. The moat is still from the time when the palace was a castle. The castle was destroyed in 1514 and a Rennaisecance palace was built on its place. But at the end of the 17th century, the palace was ailing and the palace I recreated was built. In the 1790s the famous English Landscape Garden attached to the palace was shaped. Nearly 100 years later a Christmas tree fell and the palace burned down. Another palace was built. This new palace shared the same fate and burned down in 1956. So today’s palace is, in fact, a modern building from the 1950s whereas the garden is 160 years older.

    It'll serve as the highest level farm building. This is the in-game Empire Total War model:


    This draft of a palace was made by the architect Peter Joseph Krahe in 1792. I modelled the building after this front plan:


    from the Städtisches Museum Braunschweig (all credits go to them for the picture, the original can be found here ).

    For the colours of the facade, I used the current colour scheme of the Wangenheim Palais in Hannover as it is also a Classicist building and has a certain similarity.

    The building serves as generic Governors palace in the Empire Total War mod Imperial Splendour. This is the in-game model:



    We will keep you posted on our progress!

    December '20 Developers Blog


    It's time for a little blog on the 3rd Advent. This time it's mostly about units and another little gift.

    To the units:

















    And here are the Icons:



    Furthermore, I have a new building for you:

    The level 5 generic Parliament Building:

    As most things are done, we decided to assemble a closed beta. So if you want to hunt some bugs or simply test the new version you can contact us via Message on TWC, Message on ModDB, our facebook and twitter pages or E-Mail (info@imperialsplendour.com). What we want you to do is simply report all bugs you find and give us some feedback on the gameplay.

    In addition, we now have a Discord-Server here.

    That's all for today, have a nice 3rd Advent!

    We will keep you posted on our progress!

    This is a sneak peek of the campaign map. I was pretty advanced in this bug-hunting campaign. So there are many changes compared to the campaign map at the game start. Enjoy!

    Caribbean Battle - Battle for Guadeloupe

    Take a look at the new Caribbean colonial units. Britain will get some special units while the other factions will have access to generic units.
    And yes Robert Craufurd is a recruitable general. I shipped him as commander to the Caribbean.
