Desert Battle Environments

[GCrane]

Hello there!

This is a very large forum community, with a lot of information, and I have yet to really sift through any of it with any degree of exactitude. I've been playing M&B for a few months now, and am enjoying it greatly.

I've, of course, spent a great deal of time modding my game and downloading the great content you folks have made available here. Amazing talent.

What I'm looking for is something to download and add to a pre-existing mod (Knights by Couched) that will replace Khergit battle environs with desert battle environments—sweeping, rolling dunes of sand.

I've heavily modified my game for a more Crusade like atmosphere, up to and including factions, towns, etc.

An example of how I play: YouTube HD Video

Is what I'm looking for feasible, and easy to implement? I haven't yet touched the python module system.

Well, nice work with those templars there.

Anyways, it is possible, and there are... what, two mods? that are focused on the Crusades. One, I believe, has stalled, but the other, Five Kingdoms, is still in production.

But I think you can request that for some graphical enhancement chaps. Far as I know, their arn't any mods that currently change the steppes into deserts, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.

I reccomend using the search bar, and typing in what you need to know. If you can't find it, see if you can find someone who can do it for you, if you don't want to dabble in the modification arts yourself. There are a few great modding tutorials in the Forge, if you are thinking of making a mod yourself.

Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply, Tiberius!

I've spent a few hours sifting through the forums, via the search bar. Found most of the crusading mods, both past, present and future (WIPs). I don't yet possess the technical knowledge to craft my own environs, but I may have to take a look and see what I can do, with what I do know. I've been getting by mostly by incorporating what others have done.

Thanks for welcome, and the heads up!

Wow, that looked really nice.
Love how you opened that battle.

If you put some more of your own changes and compilations into that, I would definitely like to see it uploaded.
Especially with deserts.

I agree, though if you do don't forget to ask for permission and give credit where due.
The last thing we need is another Swadii
But really great job otherwise!

I'm not sure if I would upload anything, really. It's just a mod compiliation, really, with some minor troop and city tweaks. I'm not very good at integrating content into mods. Can't even get formations + morale + shield bash working without screwing up the mod.

As far as city stuff, I haven't changed anything but names, in order to reflect the strongholds of the Templars during their tenure in the Latin Kingdom.

Rest assured, if I uploaded anything I would certainly ask for permission/give credit. Was a history major at Uni, and despise theft of IP.
