[S] 81 New Units

[FLaviator]

I want Medieval weapon and armor Porn, bloody battles, Plate armor, arrows flying, etc etc etc.

sorry but what is armor PORN???

It's just an expression, the same as CAR porn, MOTORCYCLE porn, etc. etc. etc.  It's a flashy and gratuitous, sometimes sexy display of something either in photograph or video.

In this case, in game would be lots of flashy armor.

Nice! I was thinking of giving Sarranids Ottoman infantry and Janissary archers from M2TW, and Sipahi as soon as someone ports the unofficial item and troop editors.

(I haven't checked if they where ported yet so if they have been, don't call meout for my ignorance please)

 

[eragoen]

A bit of originality? someone's been playing Medieval 2 total war!

 

[Temujin]

Half of the fans of this game come from total war centre, it's the reason for the early Roman styled mods etc...

The fact that we can be on the field and experience what our boys in M2total war go through, was what appealed to many total war players, it's been said numerous times back in the day when M&B itself was still in the BETA phase.


Since when is there a: don't copy M:2TW bandwagon for you to jump on annyway?

I made a mini submod for SOD once that included the Novgorod troop tree, people liked that it seemed. Since when is it fashionable to no longer like M:2TW influences?

I agree 100%,  I've played the "Total War" series since "Shogun"  And I would LOVE to see a full M2TW conversion, complete with the troop trees for the game, at least the western Europeans anyway.

The Medieval Series, and a college roommate, are the reason I have been playing M&B since early 2006.

Hey, nice mod, I love the new units and their armor. More unit trees = double plus good

One small issue, though: the high level knights from Vaegir and Swadian have crappy stats. Literally. They have nothing above 10, so yeah, you might want to look into that 

Not sure why so many people are pointing out the MTW2 deal; what's wrong with implementing ideas from an awesome game into another awesome game?

Lol mate ..you say above 10?..did you know that 10 is the maximum number you can have in 1 skill in this game?
again lol

 

[tobmic]

since the new patch is out im going to make some more work for this and I added alot of more units so far aswell as a new Mercenary system but still keeping all the things balanced.
I will probably upload it on Saturday/Sunday but I would like to hear some feedback.
What new units would you like to see ?

 

[Mouradblade]

Sarranids only have one kind of unit? And in the pics, they wore inaccurate armor according to history.

 

[tailis]

A lot more Sarranid units would be nice

 

[MountandBladeKinsman]

OMG, Mounted Huscarls... they pwn the battlefield...!

Dude, I'm clearly talking about their STATS, as in STR, CHA, AGI, and INT, not their SKILLS. Their Skills are awesome, but their stats suck. That's what I was saying.

tobmic - I can't say what new units I'd like yet - I still haven't tried all of them out

 

[Hunaxor]

Great mod and work.
It adds missing units to all factions (ie cavalry for Nords) that makes the game and combat more interesting and balanced. My only issue is that after some time and big battles, the lords armies will have only small number of elite units, while I can have many (like 40). And units like Ritterbruders or Mounted Huscarl will then rout any opposition.

 

[userfree]

is this compatible with the litus mod?

I tried it with 0.4 version and game crashed.

 

[Relentless]

Tried it, it isn't too bad. My main beef with it is that it changes the factions too much, i.e. it gives Nords cavalry.

From what I heard from many players, Nords were desperately needing some cavalry, since infantry tends to suck against cavalry, with some minor, situational exceptions.

I don't think they desperately needed cav, but they're still a very welcomed addition 

 

[tobmic]

I wonder what I should do about the Khergits.
Should they stay as they are now or should i remove the Infantry Classes for better Balancing the AI wich will use mixed Units with Infantry and Mounted now.

 

[Brodus]

Was there any reason you didnt add more sarranid units?  Did they seem fine as they were already?  I always thought it would be easier to give them more exotic units.
