Title: Medieval total war units, alive in c-RPG.
Post by: Panos_ on December 24, 2013, 11:53:42 pm
I`m a huge Total war fan, and always wondered how the units of MTW would look like on c-rpg.
The mere purpose of this thread is to motivate people to play as a historical unit Medieval Total War Unit, if you are a hardcore roleplaying nerd like me, I`m sure you will appreciate this thread.
and
since most units of the vanilla game are bad modeled, I will take them from various mods.
Also, kudos to Zagibu and his fantastic work , him making c-rpg viewer makes this thread possible!

This is a pre pre pre alpha post, there is a lot of work to be done, so be sure to check back everyday, also feel free to ask me to make you a unit, trust me it will be my pleasure  :mrgreen:

Things to do in the future will be to add as many as possible historically units, their gear *based on the current c-rpg gear*, and an appropriate build to enjoy following your roleplaying historical unit.  :wink:

Total war units is kinda far from historical accurate...

Who gives a fuck if they are 100% historical units or not, thing is I always wanted to roleplay as a Ritterbruder or a Mamluke cavalry man on EU1, this is the purpose of this thread, not to prove if the units are indeed correct.

Finding good images of the units will be a pain in the ass, and if I am lucky enough to find a good image, I realize that we lack A LOT of armours in c-rpg to make it possible..

I`ll have to improvize  8-)


Great news nerds, I`m gonna use GIMP  :mrgreen:

Very well done Panos- maybe you're not a useless troll afterall
(click to show/hide)
anyway its really nice to see somebody dedicate time to make these cool units- it would be even more interesting if we did a few "rome total war" strat battles or med II or whatever- in which we had people use all themed gear and engage in units and such. Anyway, good luck keep it up!

Hey, glad to see someone else noticed the possibility to model characters after the M2:TW units. I personally modeled my Silly_English_Kniggit character after the English Dismounted Knights. Great post, man!

Those Horse xbows were amazing back when I played Medieval 2 Total War, playing as Poland you just needed two packs of those guys to completely harass and own in any skirmish, good times haha  :mrgreen:

Really nice thread Panos mate, will look forward to seeing further units added!

Dismounted Frankish Knights:
(click to show/hide)
A mercenary unit. I think they were not included in the vanilla game but you could find them in the files. They are pretty much feudal knights with spears instead of swords or armored sergeants with full helmets.

Equipment:

Mercenary Units will be the last that will get added, first I need to make all the special FOOT units of each faction, then the ranged and then the cavalry, and last but not least the mercenaries units!

For the Norse War clerics, I noticed you put the sugarloaf, would the Faceplate look more accurate compared to the game? I wonder... It doesn't have the gold trimmings however

That's Nord Invasion. Víkingr is a historical mod that uses Native's multiplayer. Very slow movement, and teamwork is essential.

Very nice panos, a few things though.
