Hey Gabby and all the People in this forum / mod,
Gabby knows me already, but I guess I never ever introduced myself here.
Here we go: I am doc, 32 years old, and a huge wild west fan since years. I like more the western books and movies from "my generation". Nothin against the original western from the 40s - 80s, but the newer ones are just a deeper and more realistic experience (to me).
As I first red from gabbys mod project I fell right out of my seat...because I couldn't believe my eyes. I played the 1866 for hours and hours and ever wished a wild west mod for warband will come one day (especially singleplayer). The best wild west game of all time (red dead redemption) will never ever make it to the pc...so we need to deal with it and help ourselves. So, gabby is my "rockstar"
.
Ok, what can I say more about me? I am from Germany, sure not the best place for a western fan, but I collected pretty much wild west literature, accessories, movies and so on.
I am just happy to be a part of the community here.
And again, thank you gabby, for doin what you are doin here! You are my hope!
So, to say something about 1860s current version. It runs stable on my gaming laptop and it is a very good experience already.
I don't think I have the right to criticize anything (I never ever modded a game), but I like the item view more like it is in 1866 mod. Here you can see guns and everything from the side. To me this is more comfortable and makes it easier to see the difference between those items (specially guns and rifles).
The second thing is the head armor "Indian face". I never read anything about it in historical literature and i don't like the atmosphere it creates. F.e. I am playing a white ex-soldier and I look like an native American Indian..mmhhh...I don't get the point here.
The last thing I like to mention is the performance on my system. I can play warband on highest settings and it runs like warm butter. For 1860 I need to turn many parameters down to see it run smooth.
That's everything...for newcomers: you will get an already very very stable mod with, for me, the most interesting time of it all. The wild west.
Gabby is simply doin an amazing job here. Thank you so much for it, gabby...I will keep on playing and reading...
Your fan,
Doc
