OKee, played this mod for a few hours yesterday and today, and I must say, the mod (or better to say, what it will become after beta) seems absolutely stunning!
Great work done so far, but much work ahead I think...
I won't suggest many things for now, just 2 things:
1 - Tournaments and arena scenes re-scening and changing is absolutely MUST. For example, you can make street brawls or something like that instead of tournaments. Make city center scene instead of arena (just change arena walls to facades of western-type buildings). And you must also change tournament weaponry... For example, instead of polearm - forks, instead of one-handed swords - broken bottles, 2-handed swords - chair legs/clubs, shields - chairs...
I don't insist on my version of things, but the fact that tournament scenes must be changed, is right there...
2 - Change taverns to saloons
Complaint:
The only thing I really didn't like is just stylistic thing and it can be improved very easy I think.
I mean the LOADING PICTURES!
They just don't seem right. Some are colourful, some black and white, sometimes the text goes right behind them, they don't have 1 particular style and just aren't fitting in background texture. Also they must be transparent to overlay nicely on the background texture, not some photographs with backgrounds.
If you want I can find suitable images for you through internet and edit them in photoshop in a way that only characters on picture will be visible, without background...
That's it... otherwise, game REALLY looks and feels GREAT!
P.S.
I am sure you are already aware about those uniform shining problem and sure that you'll fix it... It just looks not right
And hats also change the texture in weird way, they make face to change into bronze-black colour...
So, other than that! Again... great!
Good luck with improvements
