SP Fantasy Perianor - Struggle for Althea *22/06/09 - BETA V0.5 RELEASED, new screens.

[Astor]

I've been thinking about changing the fifth faction to utilise more of the eastern part of the map (particularly the desert), and to add a bit more variety to the factions - a mostly mounted faction might provide more gameplay options than a mostly infantry based faction, especially when there's two of them already.

So, i've put up a poll to see what people would find more interesting - this is in no way a conclusive poll, and I may do the opposite, but hey-ho.

 

[vadermath]

Sultanate, definitely.

Sultanate, definitely.

The Sultanate is definately easier to place on the map, but Lindale/Corwyn is getting a bit of support it seems...

The OP has been updated, as Valdholm has recieved a little facelift - I didn't like the armours they had originally, so i've switched them for something more suitable (look in their troops section for their new look).

Ok, so it seems that there's more space on the map than i'd anticipated, so I'm hoping to include both factions, which will fill out the map a little more, and add a little more variety.

All of the other factions are now done (barring a few minor changes, and changing Lord's equipment, but that can come later), I need to rejig the scenes (some got moved and switched - it's very strange being by the seaside in the middle of a landmass), i'm still working out whether to change the mercenaries, and the companions need working on, but that will probably come much later.

[vadermath]

Cool, seems like the most interesting solution

 

[Raid]

Nice. I wait it!!

 

[shalictar]

This looks cool.
Kinda reminds me of the a personal mod i did a while back.

The map is excellent, i cant figure out how to get my rivers thinner

 

[Lord_killzor]

Nice! . And nice troops.

 

[Astor]

Ok, now I have some time on my hands once again, I can start working again. There's still a fair bit to do (A lot of scenes got messed up when I deleted excess villages, so that's a priority), but the majority of the work is done (at least for Perianor, Grandwood, Valdholm & Esterhaven).

Now, apart from adding the extra factions, and modifying the companions (though that's the lowest priority for the time being), it's all small tasks such as modifying banners and such.

I'll also try and update the OP with some extra screens of other Kingdoms - I've got plenty of Perianor, but none of any others.

Astor.

 

[shalictar]

Im really looking forward to this.

best of luck.

Thanks. Also, to answer your question about thinning rivers, you can do it manually by going into vertex mode and dragging the vertices closer - it can be a bit laborious, but it makes the rivers look thinner, and better.

I've updated the OP again, with a screen of the Sultan of Fazir -

Thanks to dariel for his great Indo-Persian armour, and of course those who contributed to the OSP helmet pack (really, i've used quite a few helmets from it).

Astor.

 

[tommylaw]

I suggest unique armours for faction leaders, just for the grandour and to make them stand out. Horses with their heraldry too would be pretty cool. Just some thoughts.

 

[ImpSmash]

i like the background story and also the map good luck on it!

cant wait to play!

Ye have my support for this mod.

That is certainly my plan, tommy.

I haven't implemented unique armour for all faction leaders (yet), but the Sultan's Armour (his helmet too), and the Count of Grandwood's Armour will be unique to them - with no opportunities for buying them in shops.

A few of them will also have unique weapons as well.

Some quick screens of Grandwood troops in game:



No actual battle shots - I suck at taking screenshots. 

Also, is anyone else having problems with Imageshack recently?

Looks nice. Keep up the good work!

On Imageshack: Actually, my problems are getting better 'cos since summer last year I could not see any Imageshack pics, and now I can see them.
